		In 1949, UNTSO military observers remained to supervise the Armistice Agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbours, which were for many years the main basis of the uneasy truce in the whole area.
		In the Middle East, groups of UNTSO military observers are today attached to the peacekeeping forces in the area: the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) in the Golan Heights and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
		The first commander of UNTSO, the Swedish major-general Carl von Horn wrote in his memoires that as well as the Jordanian intelligence as the Israeli intelligence were keeping control over the observers, however, he was most concerned with the approach of the Israeli intelligence.

	Lindley: UNDOF Article
		UNTSO observers are unarmed officers from their respective countries, while UNDOF peacekeepers are lightly armed soldiers of all ranks.
		Despite the fact that several high level UNDOF and UNTSO officials were aware of this problem, the "fortnightly inspections of equipment and force levels in the areas of limitation" continue with the same routine.
		This is in particular true of the two officers in the UNTSO OPs who can scarcely be expected (and they are not) to maintain a constant watch during their lengthy shifts.

		UNTSO observers in the Egypt-Israel sector are based in Ismailia (Egypt) and conduct patrols along the Suez Canal and throughout the Sinai peninsula except for an area under the independent (non-UN) Multinational Force and Observers (MFO).
		UNTSO's main responsibilities were also related to the work of the Mixed Armistice Commissions (MACs), set up by the Armistice Agreements between Israel and four Arab countries, and chaired by the UNTSO Chief of Staff.
		Their main task was the investigation and examination (by UNTSO observers) of the claims or complaints presented by the parties relating to the application and observance of the Armistice Agreements.

	In Memoriam
		Like nearly all officers newly assigned to UNTSO, Bob Rickert arrived in Jerusalem sympathetic to the plight of the Jews and to the State of Israel, and tending to skepticism toward things Arab.
		Rather than the kindly grandmother he had been led by media reports to expect, he was confronted by a caustic, intimidating figure who seemed to blame him personally not only for the current resolution critical of Israel, but all the previous critical resolutions as well.
		In fact, the situation on the ground on the Israel-Syria cease-fire line was that a militarily stronger Israel was seizing land, field by field, from a militarily weaker Syria.

		Hammarskjöld to the Security Council as a result of his trip to the Middle East that UNTSO should be enlarged by 20 to 30 Military Observers.
		As will be seen from the attached memorandum on UNTSO, this would at least double the number of Military Observers now with the Organisation, and would exactly double the number of Canadian Military Observers (apart from General Burns).
		I should perhaps add that both the initial request in November, 1953, for Canadian Military Observers to serve with UNTSO and the proposal, in June, 1954, that a Canadian should become the Chief of Staff of the Organization, were approved by Mr.
