Camp David Accords
Muhammad Anwar al-Sadat, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Menachem Begin, Prime Minister of Israel, and Jimmy Carter, President of the United States met at Camp David from September 5th until September 17th. They agreed on this "framework for peace in the Middle East."
The agreed basis for a peaceful settlement between Israel and its neighbors is the United Nations Security Council Resolution 242, in addition to UN Security Council Resolution 338. Limited autonomy is offered to Palestinians in occupied territories.
Egypt, Israel, Jordan and the representatives of the Palestinian people should participate in negociations on the resolution of the Palestinian problem in all its aspects. There will be five years of transitional agreements on the West Bank and Gaza after a self-governing authority is freely elected, and supported by a strong local police force.
Egypt and Israel undertake not to resort to the threat or use of force to settle disputes, but will instead settle all disagreements by peaceful means.
The United States is invited to participate in talks related to the implementation of agreements and a timetable for carrying out oblications.
The United Nations Security Council is requested to endorse peace treaties which evolve, and to ensure that their provisions are not violated. The permanent members of the Security Council are requested to underwrite the peace treaties which ensue and to ensure their own respect of the treaties' provisions through their national policies and actions.
