United Nations Security Council Resolution 517, adopted on August 4, 1982, after recalling resolutions 508 (1982), 509 (1982), 512 (1982), 513 (1982), 515 (1982) and 516 (1982), the Council again demanded an immediate cessation of military activities between Israel and Lebanon, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanese territory.

The resolution was adopted by 14 votes to none, with one abstention from the United States.
