United Nations Security Council Resolution 496, adopted unanimously on May 28, 1982, after examing a report by the Security Council Commission on the Seychelles adopted in Resolution 496 (1981), the Council expressed its concern at the November 1981 coup attempt in the Seychelles by foreign mercenaries, including Mike Hoare, allegedly backed by South Africa, and the subsequent hijacking of an Air India plane.
The Council went on to strongly condemn the mercenary aggression against the Seychelles and the hijacking, emphasising it stood against external interference in the internal affairs of a Member State. The resolution commended the Seychelles for repelling the attack, reiterating Resolution 239 (1967) against the use of mercenaries to attack another Member State.
The resolution ended by establishing an ad hoc committee chaired by France to oversee development funds to repair the damage to the Seychelles and ensure economic reconstruction. It also requested the Secretary-General assist the fund, and extended the mandate of the inquiry into the events by August 15, 1982.
