2 nov 1969 año - Cairo Agreement (1969)

Descripción:

The Cairo Agreement, or Cairo Accord, was an agreement reached on 2 November 1969 during talks between Yassir Arafat and the Lebanese army commander, General Emile Bustani. Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser helped to broker the deal.

Terms
Although the text of the agreement was never published, an unofficial but probably-accurate text appeared in the Lebanese daily newspaper An-Nahar on 20 April 1970. The agreement established principles under which the presence and activities of Palestinian guerrillas in southeastern Lebanon would be tolerated and regulated by the Lebanese authorities.
Under the agreement, the 16 official UNRWA camps in Lebanon, home to 300,000 Palestinian refugees, were removed from the stern jurisdiction of the Lebanese Army's Deuxième Bureau and placed under the authority of the Palestinian Armed Struggle Command. Although the camps remained under Lebanese sovereignty, the new arrangements meant that after 1969, they became a key popular base for the guerrilla movement.

The agreement also established the right of the Palestinian residents in Lebanon "to join the Palestinian revolution through armed struggle". In addition, it also allowed the Palestinians legal control of their refugee camps in Lebanon and the launch of attacks against Israel from southern Lebanon.

The Palestine Liberation Organization later effectively established a state within a state in Lebanon.
