                     Recognizing the need to strengthen cooperation with troop-contributing
               countries, as part of a series of measures to ensure more coherent and integrated
               concepts of operations and to enhance managerial efficiency and operational
               effectiveness of United Nations peacekeeping operations,
                     Noting that relevant provisions contained in the annexes to the present
               resolution pertain also to strengthening cooperation with countries contributing
               civilian police and other personnel,
                    1.    Agrees to adopt the decisions and recommendations contained in the

               resolution the efficiency and effectiveness of the agreed measures, consider their
               further improvement taking into account the proposals of the troop-contributing
               countries and to report to the Council on these matters;

               Annex I
               A
               Statement of principles on cooperation with troop-contributing countries
                    The Security Council
                     1.   Recognizes that its partnership with troop-contributing countries can be
               strengthened by the assumption by Member States, in particular those with the
               greatest capacity and means to do so, of their shared responsibility to provide
               personnel, assistance and facilities to the United Nations for the maintenance of
               international peace and security;
                    2.    Encourages Member States to take steps to bridge the commitment gap
               with regard to personnel and equipment for specific United Nations peacekeeping
               operations;
                     3.   Emphasizes the importance of troop-contributing countries taking the
               necessary and appropriate steps to ensure the capability of their peacekeepers to
               fulfil the missions’ mandate, and underlines the importance of bilateral and
               international cooperation in this regard, including in the area of training, logistics
               and equipment;
                     4.    Underlines the importance of ensuring that national contingents
               participating in United Nations peacekeeping operations receive effective and
               appropriate support from the Secretariat, including in the area of training, logistics
               and equipment;
                     5.    Stresses the need to ensure that the Secretariat is given sufficient human
               and financial resources to fulfil these tasks, and that these resources be used
               efficiently and effectively;

                                                                                S/RES/1353 (2001)

     6.    Underlines that consultations between the Security Council, the
Secretariat and troop-contributing countries should enhance the ability of the
Security Council to make appropriate, effective and timely decisions in fulfilling its
responsibilities;
     7.   Underlines also the need to maintain a comprehensive approach to
improving the effectiveness of peacekeeping operations from their conception,
including in preparing contingency plans for volatile situations, and promoting
cohesive exit strategies;

B
Operational issues
      1.    Encourages international cooperation and support for peacekeeping
training, including the establishment of regional peacekeeping training centres, and
stresses the need for technical support from the Secretary-General to such centres;
      2.   Requests the Secretary-General to include information on his
consultations with troop-contributing countries in his regular reports to the Security
Council on individual peacekeeping operations, and undertakes to take account of
the views expressed in these consultations and in its meetings with troopcontributing countries when taking decisions on such operations;
     3.    Also requests the Secretary-General to convene assessments meetings
with interested delegations, in particular troop-contributing countries, at appropriate
stages of each peacekeeping operation as a part of his efforts to draw the lessons that
can be learned, which should be taken into account in the conduct and planning of
current and future operations;
     4.    Further requests the Secretary-General to take into account in the
conduct of peacekeeping operations and in the regular lessons-learned process, the
operational experiences of national contingents while in the field or following
departure;
      5.   Undertakes to inform troop-contributing countries fully of the terms of
reference of missions of the Security Council involving peacekeeping operations
and subsequently of the conclusions of the missions;
      6.   Expresses its view that the conduct of reconnaissance visits to the
mission area by countries committing troops can be highly valuable in preparing for
effective participation in peacekeeping operations, and encourages support for such
visits;
     7.    Urges the Secretary-General to take further steps to implement the
proposal of the Panel on United Nations Peace Operations to create integrated
mission task forces, and to pursue other related capabilities to improve United
Nations planning and support capacities;
     8.    Stresses the need to improve the information and the analysis capacity of
the United Nations Secretariat, with a view to improving the quality of advice to the
Secretary-General, the Security Council and the troop-contributing countries;
     9.    Stresses also that the Secretariat’s advice to the Security Council and the
troop-contributing countries should include a range of recommendations for action

                                                                                3

S/RES/1353 (2001)

               on the basis of an objective assessment of the situation on the ground, rather than
               what Member States are presumed to be willing to support;
                     10. Underlines the importance of an effective mission-specific public
               information and communications capacity within peacekeeping operations, in
               particular through campaigns to improve awareness of the objectives and scope of
               the mission within the local population in the mission area;
                    11. Stresses the need for an effective public information programme to
               generate international public support for United Nations peacekeeping operations,
               and stresses also in this regard the need for special programmes, in particular in
               troop-contributing countries, to project the contribution of peacekeepers;
                    12. Underlines in this regard the need for an effective public information
               capacity within the United Nations, and takes note in this regard of the proposals
               made by the Secretary-General to strengthen Secretariat planning and support for
               public information in peacekeeping operations (S/2000/1081);

               C
               Other mechanisms
                     1.   Undertakes to continue to consider the possibility of using the Military
               Staff Committee as one of the means of enhancing United Nations peacekeeping
               operations;
                     2.   Expresses its belief that Groups of Friends of the Secretary-General, as
               well as other informal mechanisms which might include troop-contributing
               countries, Security Council members, donors and the countries in the region, can
               play a useful role in increasing the coherence and effectiveness of United Nations
               action, and stresses that they should conduct their work in close cooperation with
               the Security Council;

               D
               Follow-up
                     1.   Expresses its intention to assess within six months the efficiency and
               effectiveness of its meetings with troop-contributing countries, with a view to the
               possibility of further improvement to the current system, including through the
               consideration of specific proposals of troop-contributing countries for new
               mechanisms;
                     2.   Decides to strengthen cooperation with the troop-contributing countries
               in addition to and on the basis of the principles and provisions contained in the
               resolution and the present annex by improving and expanding existing consultation
               mechanisms as elaborated in annex II, with a view to ensuring proper reflection of
               the views and concerns of troop-contributing countries.

                    The Security Council,
                     Recalling all its previous resolutions on Western Sahara, in particular
               resolution 1108 (1997) of 22 May 1997, and the statement by its President of 19
               March 1997 (S/PRST/1997/16),
                     Recalling also its resolution 1308 (2000) of 17 July 2000, and the relevant
               principles contained in the Convention on the Safety of United Nations and
               Associated Personnel of 9 December 1994,
                     Reaffirming the provisions contained in paragraph 2 of Article 1 of the Charter
               of the United Nations,
                    Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 20 June 2001
               (S/2001/613),
                    Expressing full support for the role and work of the Personal Envoy,
                     Reiterating full support for the ongoing efforts of the United Nations Mission
               for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) to implement the Settlement
               Plan and agreements adopted by the parties to hold a free, fair and impartial
               referendum for the self-determination of the people of the Western Sahara,
                     Taking into consideration the Official Proposals submitted by the Polisario

               Settlement Plan contained in annex IV to the report of the Secretary-General,
                     Taking into consideration also the draft Framework Agreement on the Status
               of Western Sahara contained in annex I to the report of the Secretary-General, which
               would provide for a substantial devolution of authority, which does not foreclose
               self-determination, and which indeed provides for it,
                    Taking into consideration further the Memorandum of the Government of
               Algeria on the Draft Status for Western Sahara contained in annex II to the report of

               to meet directly or through proximity talks, under the auspices of his Personal
               Envoy, and encourages the parties to discuss the draft Framework Agreement and to
               negotiate any specific changes they would like to see in this proposal, as well as to
               discuss any other proposal for a political solution, which may be put forward by the
               parties, to arrive at a mutually acceptable agreement;
                    3.   Affirms that while discussions referred to above go on, the official
               proposals submitted by the Polisario Front to overcome the obstacles preventing
               implementation of the Settlement Plan will be considered;
                     4.   Recalls that according to the rules of the consultations established by the
               Personal Envoy nothing would be agreed until everything had been agreed, and
               therefore emphasizes that by engaging in these negotiations the parties will not
               prejudice their final positions;
                     5.  Urges the parties to solve the problem of the fate of people unaccounted
               for, and calls on the parties to abide by their obligations under international

               conflict;
                     6.   Requests the Secretary-General to provide an assessment of the situation
               before the end of the present mandate, and, as appropriate, recommendations on the
               future mandate and composition of MINURSO;
                    7.    Decides to remain seized of the matter.
