The resolution went on to establish a commission, with the assistance of the Secretary-General, to investigate the events and to report back by no later than 31 January 1982. Approximately 40 mercenaries were caught with weapons at Seychelles International Airport and the coup failed.[1] The representative of the Seychelles, Glovanella Gonthier, told the Council that there was "every reason to believe that South Africa might have been involved in the aggression".[2] The country later called for a civil aviation boycott of South Africa in response,[3] but South Africa denied involvement and said it would try some of the 39 mercenaries who had landed in the country aboard the hijacked Air India flight.[4] A report on the events was examined in Resolution 507 (1982).
