...Arab lands. Any withdrawal terms will have to be part of a package that includes a binding declaration of peace from the Arabs. The Rogers-Gromyko talks also proved that there are wide differences on other items of the package, including final boundaries, the disposition of Jerusalem and the Palestinian refugee question...

...Middle East conflict will figure in scheduled debates on two subjects this fall: the condition of Palestinian refugees, who have been U.N. wards since 1948, and Arab claims of human-rights violations in Israeli-occupied territories. Other debates certain to engage the Assembly's time and temper include the protection of civil rights for Northern Ireland's Catholic minority and restrictions on chemical and germ warfare. There is every prospect that the U.N. will formally decide to enter the pollution-control field by setting up the first worldwide governmental conference on the protection of the environment...
