An Argentinian complaint against Israel, filed with the Security Council more than five years ago in connection with the kidnapping of the late Adolf Eichmann, was wiped finally from the Council’s agenda today. The Government of Argentina requested the Secretary-General to delete from the items of which the Council is “seized” its grievance against Israel on the Eichmann case, filed June 15, 1960.
Issues of which the Council is “seized” are very rarely taken off the clate. There are items on the Council’s log dating back 15 or 18 years. In the case of the Argentine grievance, the Council held several meetings in 1960, at which Israel virtually apologized for any affront to Argentina regarding Eichmann’s capture in Buenos Aires. However, the Council remained “seized” of the issue until today’s dissemination of a list of items formally before the Council. Today’s list, at the request of the Buenos Aires Government, did not contain the Israeli complaint against Israel.
