possibly justify or condone the baseless accusations of the Libyan letter against Egypt, which are categorically rejected in the strongest possible terms. Such tendentious attempts to distort the image of 1::gypt, or its policies and what it stands for, shall have no effect. Nor will any false accusations levelled against others exonerate the Lib­ yan Arab Jamahiriya or restore its credibility as long as it persists , in its policies and flouts by deeds its protestations of peace, good­ neighbourly relations and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. DOCUMENT S/15642* Letter dated 14 March 1983 from the representative of Jordan to the Secretary-General I am transmitting herewith. in extreme indignation and protest. a brief account of the Israeli assaults on the blessed AI-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem from June 1967 to 11 March 1983. when the series of Israeli assaults on the Islamic Holy Places reached its peak with Israel's commission of an act of desecration against the sacred AI-Haram Al-Sharif sanctuary. Israel has continually persisted in the commission and encouragement of acts of aggression and destruc­ tion against the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and against the other Holy Places in Jerusalem and in all the places that have since fallen under Israeli occupation. The repeated commission of such acts indicates clearly Israel's deliberate intention of destroying all the Islamic religious landmarks in Jerusalem and elsewhere in the occupied territories and its disdain for the feelings of hundreds of millions of believers whose eyes are turned towards Jerusalem. I need not emphasize once again the seriousness of such acts. which constitute a grave violation of the principles of international law. in particular article 47 of the fourth Geneva Convention of 1949,11 and the fact that it represents a serious threat to the peace and security of the region.
