DECLARATION BY THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE UNITED STATES, THE
UNITED KINGDOM, AND FRANCE, REGARDING SECURITY IN THE
NEAR EAST
The Governments of the United Kingdom, France, and the United States,
having had occasion during the recent Foreign Ministers' Meeting in
London to review certain questions affecting the peace and stability of
the Arab States and of Israel, and particularly that of the supply of
arms and war material to these states, have resolved to make the following
statements:
A
1. The three Governments recognize that the Arab states and Israel
all need to maintain a certain level of armed forces for the purposes of
assuring their internal security and their legitimate self-defense and to
permit them to play their part in the defense of the area as a whole. All
applications for arms or war material for these countries will be considered
in the light of these principles. In this connection the three Governments
wish to recall and reaffirm the terms of the statements made by their
representatives on the Security Council on August 4, 1949, in which they
declared their opposition to the development of an arms race between the
Arab states and Israel.
2. The three Governments declare that assurances have been received
from all the states in question, to which they permit arms to be supplied
from their countries, that the purchasing state. does not intend to under-
take any act of aggression against any other state. Similar assurances
will be requested from any other state in the area to which they permit arms
to be supplied in the future.
3. The three Governments take this opportunity of declaring their
deep interest in and their desire to promote the establishment and mainte-
nance of peace and stability in the area and their unalterable opposition
to the use of force or threat of force between any of the states in that
area. The three Governments, should they find that any of these states
was preparing to violate frontiers or armistice lines, would, consistently
with their obligations as members of the United Nations, immediately take
action, both within and outside the United Nations, to prevent such viola-
tion.
