	Prelude -- Searching for a Framework
		The resolution called for the end of belligerency, the withdrawal of forces from occupied territory, acknowledging the territorial integrity of every state in the area, creation of demilitarized zones, settlement of the refugee problem, and the creation of a special envoy to negotiate peace.
		The diplomatic efforts initiated to carry out UN-242 failed when the Israeli made it clear they would not withdraw and when Arab states, taking advantage of a new found cold war relationship with the Soviet Union, began to rearm themselves with more modern weapons.
		By the end of 1976, though, there was considerable evidence that the incremental strategy had achieved all that it could.

	Iran: IAEA Meeting As Diplomatic Efforts Continue
		The governing board-level meeting of the IAEA is not expected to directly address Iran's nuclear activities until sometime in the middle of this week.
		But just what form a diplomatic solution to the nuclear crisis might take is still far from clear.
		Any forthcoming diplomatic negotiations are likely to center on whether and how Iran might suspend uranium enrichment temporarily if it can retain the right to have a domestic uranium-enrichment program in the future.

	Military Support for "Peace Efforts" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The purpose of this article is to address some of the key issues raised by the challenge of international "peace efforts" with the hope of at least beginning to ask some of the right questions, rather than having to learn everything from devastating experiences like the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon.
		Considering that this breakout of peace efforts is new (at least to the military), one can expect to discover additional categories and to spend some time determining how these efforts relate to one another.
		Once again, this procedure applies in all cases of military action, but centers of gravity associated with peace efforts (i.e., those of a religious or ethnic group in a third world state) may be significantly different from the ones we are accustomed to.

		Meanwhile in New York, French diplomats called for penalties, including an arms embargo to be imposed on France’s former colony, which has been split into a rebel-held north and a government-controlled south since September 2002.
		The draft resolution, which French diplomats at the UN hoped would pass on Monday, also provides for travel bans and the freezing of funds for individuals who block the implementation of a 2003 French-brokered peace deal, known as the Linas-Marcoussis agreement.
		Some diplomats said letting African leaders try to mediate the path to peace might be a good move and prevent charges of former colonial powers interfering.

	Daily Press Briefing -- December 6
		And with respect to diplomacy with Iraq's neighbors, Iraq is engaged in an active diplomatic effort and we support them in that diplomatic effort.
		Now, whether or not you want to augment that diplomatic effort, add to it, substitute something else for it, that's what this report is about.
		But we do think that is very encouraging and important that the Iraqis themselves have taken the reins on their diplomatic effort with respect to how they relate to their neighbors and how their neighbors relate to them.
