United Nations Security Council Resolution 138, adopted on June 23, 1960, after a complaint that the transfer of Adolf Eichmann to Israel from Argentina constituted a violation of the latter's sovereignty, the Council declared that such acts, if repeated, could endanger international peace and security and requested that Israel make the appropriate reparation in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the rules of international law. Israel held the view that the matter was beyond the Council's competence and should instead be settled via direct bilateral negotiations.

Resolution 138 was approved by eight votes to none; the People's Republic of Poland and Soviet Union abstained. Argentina was present but did not participate in voting.
