• The extension of the mandate of the UNEF for an additional six months.
• The Secretary-General to report on the implementation of the resolution and the situation in the region.
• All parties involved to cooperate fully with the UNEF to ensure the maintenance of peace and security.

Voting

The resolution was adopted unanimously by the members of the United Nations Security Council.

Impact

The adoption of Resolution 362 underscored the international community's commitment to peacekeeping efforts in the Middle East. The continued presence of the UNEF played a crucial role in stabilizing the region and preventing the escalation of conflict.
