                                   on 29 June 1998

     The Security Council,

     Welcoming the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations
operation in Cyprus of 10 June 1998 (S/1998/488 and Add.1),

     Noting that the Government of Cyprus has agreed that in view of the
prevailing conditions in the island it is necessary to keep the United Nations
Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) beyond 30 June 1998,

     Reaffirming all its earlier resolutions on Cyprus,

     Noting with concern that tensions along the ceasefire lines and
restrictions to UNFICYP’s freedom of movement continue,

     1.   Decides to extend the mandate of UNFICYP for a further period ending
on 31 December 1998;

     2.   Reminds both sides of their obligations to prevent any violence
directed against UNFICYP personnel, to cooperate fully with UNFICYP and to

     3.   Calls upon the military authorities on both sides to refrain from any
action, particularly in the vicinity of the buffer zone, which would exacerbate
tensions;

     4.   Underlines the importance of early agreement to the reciprocal
measures for the reduction of tension along the ceasefire lines proposed and
subsequently adapted by UNFICYP, notes the fact that only one side has so far
accepted this package, calls for early agreement to and rapid implementation of
reciprocal measures and encourages UNFICYP to continue its efforts towards that
end;

98-18625 (E)                                                                 /...

     5.   Reiterates its grave concern at the continuing excessive and
increasing levels of military forces and armaments in the Republic of Cyprus and
the rate at which they are being expanded, upgraded and modernized, including by
the introduction of sophisticated weaponry, and the lack of progress towards any
significant reduction in the number of foreign troops in the Republic of Cyprus,
which threaten to raise tensions both on the island and in the region and
complicate efforts to negotiate an overall political settlement;

     6.   Calls upon all concerned to commit themselves to a reduction in
defence spending and a reduction in the number of foreign troops in the Republic
of Cyprus to help restore confidence between the parties and as a first step
towards the withdrawal of non-Cypriot forces as described in the set of ideas
(S/24472, Annex), stresses the importance of eventual demilitarization of the
Republic of Cyprus as an objective in the context of an overall comprehensive
settlement, and encourages the Secretary-General to continue to promote efforts
in this direction;

     7.   Calls upon the leaders of the two communities to resume the
discussions on security issues begun on 26 September 1997;

     8.   Welcomes the ongoing efforts by UNFICYP to implement its humanitarian

of the island and Turkish Cypriots living in the southern part, and also the
progress in the implementation of recommendations arising out of the
humanitarian review undertaken by UNFICYP in 1995, as mentioned in the report of
the Secretary-General;

     9.   Welcomes also the appointment of the new third member of the Committee
on Missing Persons, and calls for implementation without delay of the agreement
on missing persons of 31 July 1997;

     10. Reiterates its support for the efforts of the United Nations and
others concerned to promote the holding of bi-communal events so as to build
cooperation, trust and mutual respect between the two communities, regrets the
suspension of such activity by the Turkish Cypriot leadership and urges both
sides, and in particular the Turkish Cypriot side, to facilitate arrangements
within which bi-communal contacts can take place uninterrupted and without
formalities;

     11. Requests the Secretary-General to submit a report by 10 December 1998
on the implementation of this resolution;

     12.   Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.

     The Security Council,

     Welcoming the report of the Secretary-General on his mission of good
offices in Cyprus of 16 June 1998 (S/1998/518),

     Reaffirming all its earlier resolutions on Cyprus,

     Calling once more upon all States to respect the sovereignty, independence
and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus and requesting them, along
with the parties concerned, to refrain from any action which might prejudice
that sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, as well as from any
attempt of partition of the island or its unification with any other country,

     Reiterating its growing concern that negotiations on a comprehensive
political solution have yet to make progress, despite the efforts of the
Secretary-General and his Special Adviser and others in support of the United
Nations efforts to promote a comprehensive settlement,

      1.  Reaffirms that the status quo is unacceptable and that negotiations on
a final political solution of the Cyprus problem have been at an impasse for too
long;

     2.   Reaffirms its position that a Cyprus settlement must be based on a
State of Cyprus with a single sovereignty and international personality and a
single citizenship, with its independence and territorial integrity safeguarded,
and comprising two politically equal communities as described in the relevant
Security Council resolutions, in a bi-communal and bi-zonal federation, and that
such a settlement must exclude union in whole or in part with any other country
or any form of partition or secession;

     3.   Stresses its full support for the Secretary-General’s mission of good
offices and for the efforts of his Special Adviser on Cyprus to resume a
sustained process of direct negotiations aimed at achieving a comprehensive
settlement on the basis of the relevant Security Council resolutions, and

98-18637 (E)                                                                 /...

stresses also the importance of concerted efforts to work with the Secretary-General to that end;

     4.   Welcomes the intention of the Secretary-General to continue to explore
possibilities that may lead to a new momentum in this process of negotiations;

     5.   Calls once again upon the leaders of the two communities, in
particular the Turkish Cypriot side, to commit themselves to this process of
negotiations, to cooperate actively and constructively with the Secretary-General and his Special Adviser and to resume the direct dialogue without
further delay, and urges all States to lend their full support to these efforts;

     6.   Further calls in this context upon all parties concerned to create a
climate for reconciliation and genuine mutual confidence on both sides, and to
avoid any actions which might increase tension, including through further
expansion of military forces and armaments;

     7.   Requests the Secretary-General to submit a report by 10 December 1998
on the implementation of this resolution;

     8.   Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.

the Secretary-General reports that the identification process has reached a
stage which makes the deployment of these assets essential;

     7.   Calls for a prompt conclusion of status-of-forces agreements with the
Secretary-General which would greatly facilitate the full and timely deployment
of MINURSO-formed military units, in particular the deployment of the military

has been made, and recalls that pending the conclusion of such agreements, the
model status-of-forces agreement dated 9 October 1990 (A/45/594), as provided

     8.   Calls for the lifting of any restrictions imposed on MINURSO aircraft,

peacekeeping operations, and notes that discussions are being held to this end;

     9.   Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Council every 30 days

viability of the mandate of MINURSO;
