The President-elect of Lebanon whose assassination the United Nations study of 1978-1983 dates to 15 September 1982, shortly after the withdrawal of the multinational troops from Beirut, on the same day as printed as the Israeli advance into West Beirut that preceded the Sabra and Shatila massacre (Origins and Evolution of the Palestine Problem: Part III (1978-1983), lines 107-111).
Details
- Resolution 520 (1982), reproduced in annex II, condemns “the murder of Bashir Gemayel, the constitutionally elected President-elect of Lebanon, and every effort to disrupt by violence the restoration of a strong, stable government in Lebanon”; the resolution, adopted 17 September 1982, also condemns the recent Israeli incursions into Beirut and demands a return to the positions occupied by Israel before 15 September 1982 (lines 655-683 approx.).
- The study gives no other date for the assassination in the copy; the dating as printed is held on the source page under Open questions.
