               14 December 2011

                    The Security Council,
                    Welcoming the report of the Secretary-General of 30 November 2011
               (S/2011/746) on the United Nations operation in Cyprus,
                    Noting that the Government of Cyprus is agreed that in view of the prevailing
               conditions on the island it is necessary to keep the United Nations Peacekeeping
               Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) beyond 15 December 2011,
                     Echoing the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the responsibility for finding
               a solution lies first and foremost with the Cypriots themselves, and reaffirming the
               primary role of the United Nations in assisting the parties to bring the Cyprus
               conflict and division of the island to a comprehensive and durable settlement,
                    Welcoming the progress made so far in the fully fledged negotiations, and the
               leaders’ joint statements including those of 23 May and 1 July 2008,
                     Welcoming the move towards a more intensive phase of negotiations, stressing
               that the status quo is unsustainable and strongly urging the leaders to increase the
               momentum in the negotiations, particularly on the core issues, to reach an enduring,
               comprehensive and just settlement based on a bicommunal, bizonal federation with
               political equality, as set out in the relevant Security Council resolutions,
                     Emphasizing the importance attached by the international community of all
               parties engaging fully, flexibly and constructively in the negotiations, echoing the
               Secretary-General’s view that a comprehensive settlement can be achieved, looking
               forward to decisive progress in the near future, leading up to the Secretary-General’s meeting with the leaders in January 2012, and echoing the Secretary-General’s expectation that “all internal aspects of a settlement will have been
               resolved by then so that we can move to a multilateral conference shortly thereafter”
               with the consent of the two sides,
                     Welcoming the efforts of the Secretary-General to stimulate progress during his
               meeting with the two leaders on 31 October 2011, his intention to meet with the two
               leaders in January 2012, and noting his intention to submit to the Security Council
               in January 2012 an updated assessment on the state of the process,

S/RES/2026 (2011)

                     Noting the need to advance the consideration of and discussions on military
               confidence building measures, calling for renewed efforts to implement all
               remaining confidence building measures, and for agreement on and implementation
               of further steps to build trust between the communities,
                    Reaffirming the importance of continued crossings of the Green Line by
               Cypriots, and encouraging the opening by mutual agreement of other crossing
               points,
                    Convinced of the many important benefits for all Cypriots that would flow
               from a comprehensive and durable Cyprus settlement, urging the two sides and their
               leaders to foster positive public rhetoric, and encouraging them clearly to explain
               the benefits of the settlement, as well as the need for increased flexibility and
               compromise in order to secure it, to both communities well in advance of any
               eventual referenda,
                    Considering that undermining the UN’s credibility undermines the peace
               process itself,
                    Highlighting the importance of the supporting role of the international
               community, and in particular that of the parties concerned in taking practical steps
               towards helping the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders to exploit fully the
               current opportunity,
                     Taking note of the assessment of the Secretary-General that the security
               situation on the island and along the Green Line remains stable, and urging all sides
               to avoid any action which could lead to an increase in tension, undermine the
               progress achieved so far, or damage the goodwill on the island,
                    Recalling the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the situation in the buffer
               zone would be improved if both sides accepted the 1989 aide memoire used by the
               United Nations,
                    Noting with regret that the sides are withholding access to the remaining
               minefields in the buffer zone, and that demining in Cyprus has ceased as a result,
               noting the continued danger posed by mines in Cyprus, and urging rapid agreement
               on facilitating the recommencement of demining operations and clearance of the
               remaining minefields,
                    Highlighting the importance of the activities of the Committee on Missing
               Persons, urging the opening up of access to all areas to allow the Committee to
               carry out their work, and trusting that this process will promote reconciliation
               between the communities,
                     Agreeing that active participation of civil society groups, including women’s
               groups, is essential to the political process and can contribute to making any future
               settlement sustainable, recalling that women play an important role in peace
               processes, welcoming all efforts to promote bicommunal contacts and events
               including, inter alia, on the part of all United Nations bodies on the island, and
               urging the two sides to promote the active engagement of civil society and the
               encouragement of cooperation between economic and commercial bodies and to
               remove all obstacles to such contacts,
                    Stressing the need for the Council to pursue a rigorous, strategic approach to
               peacekeeping deployments,

2                                                                                11-63805

                                                                                S/RES/2026 (2011)

                Welcoming the intention of the Secretary-General to keep all peacekeeping
           operations, including those of UNFICYP, under close review and noting the
           importance of contingency planning in relation to the settlement, including
           recommendations as appropriate for further adjustments to UNFICYP’s mandate,
           force levels and other resources and concept of operations, taking into account
           developments on the ground, and the views of the parties,
                 Welcoming also the continued efforts of Alexander Downer as the Secretary-General’s Special Advisor with a mandate to assist the parties in the conduct of
           fully-fledged negotiations aimed at reaching a comprehensive settlement, and the
           efforts of Lisa Buttenheim as the Secretary-General’s Special Representative,
                Echoing the Secretary-General’s gratitude to the Government of Cyprus and
           the Government of Greece for their voluntary contributions to the funding of
           UNFICYP, and his request for further voluntary contributions from other countries
           and organizations, and expressing appreciation to member states that contribute
           personnel to UNFICYP,
                Welcoming and encouraging efforts by the United Nations to sensitize
           peacekeeping personnel in the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS and other
           communicable diseases in all its peacekeeping operations,
                1.    Welcomes the encouraging progress made so far in the fully fledged
           negotiations, and the prospect of further decisive progress in the coming months
           towards a comprehensive and durable settlement that this has created;

                3.     Recalls Security Council resolution 1986 (2011), and calls upon the two
           leaders to:
                (a) intensify the momentum of negotiations, engage in the process in a
           constructive and open manner, and work on reaching convergences on the remaining
           core issues in preparation for their meeting with the Secretary-General in January
           2012, and for further work in the following months towards a settlement;
                (b) improve the public atmosphere in which the negotiations are proceeding,
           including by focussing public messages on convergences and the way ahead, and
           delivering more constructive and harmonised messages; and

                 4.   Urges the implementation of confidence-building measures, and looks
