United Nations Security Council Resolution 206

Adopted by the Security Council at its 1224th meeting, unanimously, on 15 June 1965

The Security Council,

Noting that the report of the Secretary-General recommends the maintenance in Cyprus of the United Nations Pace-keeping Force, created by Security Council resolution 186 (1964) of 4 March 1964, for an additional period of six months,

Noting that the Government of Cyprus has indicated its desire that the stationing of the United Nations Force in Cyprus should be continued beyond 26 June 1965,

Noting from the report of the Secretary-General that, while the military situation has on the whole remained quiet during the period under review and while the presence of the United Nations Force has contributed significantly to this effect, nevertheless the quiet which prevails in the island is tenuous and, in fact, it is very likely that without the Force there would be an early recurrence of fighting,
