                                  on 27 March 1996

     The Security Council,

     Reaffirming its resolution 687 (1991) of 8 April 1991, and in particular
section C thereof, its resolution 707 (1991) of 15 August 1991 and its
resolution 715 (1991) of 11 October 1991 and the plans for ongoing monitoring
and verification approved thereunder,

     Recalling the request in paragraph 7 of its resolution 715 (1991) to the
Committee established under resolution 661 (1990), the Special Commission and
the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to develop
in cooperation a mechanism for monitoring any future sales or supplies by other
countries to Iraq of items relevant to the implementation of section C of
resolution 687 (1991) and other relevant resolutions, including resolution
715 (1991) and the plans approved thereunder,

715 (1991),

international licensing, but rather for the timely provision of information by
States in which companies are located which are contemplating sales or supplies
to Iraq of items covered by the plans for ongoing monitoring and verification
and will not impede Iraq’s legitimate right to import or export for
non-proscribed purposes, items and technology necessary for the promotion of its
economic and social development,

Lebanon, including resolution 425 (1978) of 19 March 1978 which established the

     Taking note of the letters from the Permanent Representative of Lebanon to
the President of the Security Council of 13 April 1996 (S/1996/280 and

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 3656th meeting,
                                  on 23 April 1996

     The Security Council,

     Recalling all its previous resolutions on the situation in Rwanda, in
particular its resolutions 918 (1994) of 17 May 1994, 997 (1995) of 9 June 1995,
1011 (1995) of 16 August 1995 and 1013 (1995) of 7 September 1995,

     Having considered the letter dated 13 March 1996 from the Secretary-General
to the President of the Security Council (S/1996/195) and the report of the
International Commission of Inquiry established under resolution 1013 (1995)
annexed to that letter, as well as the interim report of the Commission of
Inquiry dated 17 January 1996 (S/1996/67, annex),

     Expressing its support for the Tunis Declaration of Heads of State of the
Great Lakes Region of 18 March 1996,

     Expressing once again its grave concern at allegations of the sale and
supply of arms and related matériel to former Rwandan government forces in
violation of the embargo imposed under its resolutions 918 (1994), 997 (1995)
and 1011 (1995), and underlining the need for Governments to take action to
ensure the effective implementation of the embargo,

     Commending the members of the Commission of Inquiry for the excellent
investigation they have conducted,

     Welcoming the assistance given to the Commission of Inquiry by some
Governments,

     Noting with concern the continuing lack of full cooperation the Commission
of Inquiry has received from other Governments,

     Gravely concerned by the finding of the Commission of Inquiry that certain
Rwandan elements are receiving military training to conduct destabilizing raids
into Rwanda,

96-10255 (E)                                                                 /...

S/RES/1053 (1996)
Page 2

     Deeply disturbed by the strong evidence presented by the Commission of
Inquiry leading to the conclusion that it is highly probable that a violation of
the arms embargo occurred, in particular by the sale of arms which took place in
Seychelles in June 1994 and the subsequent two shipments of arms to Goma, Zaire
from Seychelles destined for former Rwandan government forces,

     Noting that the Commission of Inquiry received strong indications from its
sources that aircraft are continuing to land at Goma and Bukavu with arms for
former Rwandan government forces, and that senior figures among those forces are
still actively raising money apparently for the purpose of funding an armed
struggle against Rwanda,

     Further noting that the Commission of Inquiry has not yet been able to
investigate thoroughly these allegations of continuing violations of the arms
embargo,

     Reaffirming the need for a long-term solution to the refugee and related
problems in the Great Lakes States,

     Reaffirming also the importance of terminating radio broadcasts which
spread hate and fear in the region, and emphasizing the need for States to
assist the countries of the region in terminating such broadcasts as stated by
the Cairo Declaration of Heads of State of the Great Lakes Region of
29 November 1995 (S/1995/1001),

     1.   Reaffirms the importance it attaches to the work of the Commission of
Inquiry, to the investigations it has conducted to date, and to continued
effective implementation of the relevant Council resolutions;

     2.   Requests the Secretary-General to maintain the Commission of Inquiry
on the basis set out in paragraph 91 (c) of the report of the Commission of
Inquiry (S/1996/195, annex) to follow up its earlier investigations and to stand
ready to pursue any further allegations of violations, especially of current and
expected arms shipments;

     3.   Expresses its determination that the prohibition on the sale or supply
of arms and related matériel to non-governmental forces for use in Rwanda should
be implemented fully in accordance with resolution 1011 (1995);

     4.   Calls upon States in the Great Lakes region to ensure that their
territory is not used as a base for armed groups to launch incursions or attacks
against any other State in violation of principles of international law and the
Charter of the United Nations;

     5.   Urges all States, in particular those in the region, to intensify
their efforts to prevent military training and the sale or supply of weapons to
militia groups or former Rwandan government forces, and to take the steps
necessary to ensure the effective implementation of the arms embargo, including
by creation of all necessary national mechanisms for implementation;

                                                                            /...

     6.   Encourages States of the Great Lakes region to ensure the effective
implementation of the Tunis Declaration of Heads of State of the Great Lakes
Region of 18 March 1996;

     7.   Requests the Secretary-General to consult with States neighbouring
Rwanda, in particular Zaire, on appropriate measures, including the possible
deployment of United Nations observers in the airfields and other transportation
points in and around border crossing points, for the purpose of better
implementation of the arms embargo and deterrence of the shipment of arms to
former Rwandan government forces in violation of Council resolutions;

     8.   Expresses concern at the lack of response by certain States to the
Commission’s inquiries, and calls upon those States that have not yet done so to
cooperate fully with the Commission in its inquiries and to investigate fully
reports of their officials and nationals suspected of violating the relevant
Council resolutions;

     9.   Calls upon States, in particular those whose nationals have been
implicated by the report of the Commission of Inquiry, to investigate the
apparent complicity of their officials or private citizens in the purchase of
arms from Seychelles in June 1994, and in other suspected violations of the
relevant Council resolutions;

     10. Further calls upon States to make available to the Commission of
Inquiry the results of their investigations, and to cooperate fully with the
Commission of Inquiry, including by providing to the Commission of Inquiry at
any time any access they request to airfields and to witnesses, in private and
without the presence of officials or representatives of any Government;

     11. Encourages States to make voluntary contributions to the Secretary-General’s United Nations Trust Fund for Rwanda to support the work of the
Commission of Inquiry, and to contribute through the Secretary-General equipment
and services to the Commission of Inquiry;

     12. Requests the Secretary-General to submit a report to the Council on
the implementation of this resolution by 1 October 1996;

     13. Reiterates its concern that the uncontrolled illegal flows of arms and
related matériel in violation of Council resolutions would pose a threat to
peace and stability in the Great Lakes region and declares its willingness to
consider further measures in this regard;

     14.   Decides to remain seized of the matter.

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 3660th meeting,
                                  on 26 April 1996

     The Security Council,

     Reaffirming its resolution 1044 (1996) of 31 January 1996,

     Taking note of the report of the Secretary-General of 11 March 1996
(S/1996/179) submitted pursuant to paragraph 7 of resolution 1044 (1996) and the
conclusions contained therein,

     Gravely alarmed at the terrorist assassination attempt on the life of the
President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on
26 June 1995, and convinced that those responsible for that act must be brought
to justice,

     Taking note that the statements of the Organization of African Unity (OAU)
Mechanism for Conflict Prevention, Management and Resolution of
11 September 1995, and of 19 December 1995 (S/1996/10, annexes I and II)
considered the attempt on the life of President Mubarak as aimed, not only at
the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, and not only at the sovereignty,
integrity and stability of Ethiopia, but also at Africa as a whole,

     Regretting the fact that the Government of Sudan has not yet complied with
the requests of the Central Organ of the OAU set out in those statements,

     Taking note of the continued effort of the OAU Secretary-General to ensure
Sudan’s compliance with the requests of the Central Organ of the OAU,

     Taking note also, with regret, that the Government of Sudan has not
responded adequately to the efforts of the OAU,

     Deeply alarmed that the Government of Sudan has failed to comply with the
requests set out in paragraph 4 of resolution 1044 (1996),

96-10786 (E)    260496                                                       /...

     Reaffirming that the suppression of acts of international terrorism,
including those in which States are involved is essential for the maintenance of
international peace and security,

     Determining that the non-compliance by the Government of Sudan with the
requests set out in paragraph 4 of resolution 1044 (1996) constitutes a threat
to international peace and security,

     Determined to eliminate international terrorism and to ensure effective
implementation of resolution 1044 (1996) and to that end acting under
Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,

     1.   Demands that the Government of Sudan comply without further delay with
the requests set out in paragraph 4 of resolution 1044 (1996) by:

     (a) Taking immediate action to ensure extradition to Ethiopia for
prosecution of the three suspects sheltered in Sudan and wanted in connection
with the assassination attempt of 26 June 1995 on the life of the President of
the Arab Republic of Egypt in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; and

     (b) Desisting from engaging in activities of assisting, supporting and
facilitating terrorist activities and from giving shelter and sanctuary to
terrorist elements; and henceforth acting in its relations with its neighbours
and with others in full conformity with the Charter of the United Nations and
with the Charter of the OAU;

     2.   Decides that the provisions set out in paragraph 3 below shall come
into force at 00.01 Eastern Standard Time on 10 May 1996, and shall remain in

within their territory of all such staff who remain;

     (b) Take steps to restrict the entry into or transit through their
territory of members of the Government of Sudan, officials of that Government
and members of the Sudanese armed forces;

     4.   Calls upon all international and regional organizations not to convene
any conference in Sudan;

     5.   Calls upon all States, including States not members of the United
Nations and the United Nations specialized agencies to act strictly in
conformity with this resolution, notwithstanding the existence of any rights
granted or obligations conferred or imposed by any international agreement or of
any contract entered into or any licence or permit granted prior to the entry
into force of the provisions set out in paragraph 3 above;

                                                                               /...

Nations within 60 days from the adoption of this resolution on the steps they
have taken to give effect to the provisions set out in paragraph 3 above;

     7.   Requests the Secretary-General to submit an initial report to the
Council within 60 days of the date specified in paragraph 2 above on the
implementation of this resolution;

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 3662nd meeting,
                                    on 8 May 1996

     The Security Council,

     Reaffirming its resolution 696 (1991) of 30 May 1991 and all subsequent
relevant resolutions,

     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General dated 30 April 1996
(S/1996/328),

     Reaffirming its commitment to preserve the unity and territorial integrity
of Angola,

     Reiterating the importance it attaches to the full and timely
implementation by the Government of Angola and União Nacional para a
Independencia Total de Angola (UNITA) of the "Acordos de Paz" (S/22609, annex),
the Lusaka Protocol (S/1994/1441, annex) and relevant Security Council
resolutions,

     Recognizing that although some progress has been made towards consolidating
the peace process, the overall pace has been disappointingly slow,

     Noting with concern the repeated delays in the implementation of successive
timetables agreed to by the two parties, in particular the quartering of UNITA
troops and the completion of talks on military issues regarding the integration
of the armed forces,

     Taking note that five months have elapsed since the first UNITA troops
arrived in quartering areas and expressing concern that prolonging the stay of
troops in quartering areas puts strains on United Nations resources and on
discipline within UNITA ranks,

     Noting the agreement reached between the President of Angola and the
Chairman of UNITA in Libreville, Gabon, on 1 March 1996 (S/1996/175, annex) on
the formation of the unified armed forces by June 1996 as well as the

96-11864 (E)                                                                   /...

establishment of the Government of National Unity and Reconciliation between
June and July 1996,

     Recalling its resolution 976 (1995) of 8 February 1995 which stated,
inter alia, the expectation that the United Nations Angola Verification Mission
(UNAVEM III) would complete its mission by February 1997,

     Emphasizing the need for adequate security for all United Nations and other
international personnel and awaiting the results of the investigation of the
deaths on 3 April 1996 of two UNAVEM III military observers and a humanitarian
assistance official,

     Underlining the need for respect for human rights and urging the Angolan
parties to give greater attention to preventing and investigating incidents of
human rights abuse,

     Expressing concern at the extensive presence of landmines throughout Angola
and emphasizing the need for the political will to speed up demining efforts to
enable the free circulation of people and goods and to restore public
confidence,

     Stressing the importance of the demilitarization of Angolan society,
including the disarmament of the civilian population and the demobilization and
social reintegration of ex-combatants,

     Reiterating the importance of reconstruction and rehabilitation of the
Angolan national economy and its vital contribution to a durable peace,

     Welcoming the efforts by Member States, in particular the three observer
States to the Angolan peace process, the Organization of African Unity, and the
international community as a whole to promote peace and security in Angola,

     1.   Welcomes the report of the Secretary-General dated 30 April 1996;

     2.   Decides to extend the mandate of UNAVEM III until 11 July 1996;

     3.   Expresses profound regret at the overall slow pace of implementation
of the peace process which is far behind schedule;

     4.   Notes with deep concern the failure of UNITA to complete the
quartering of all its troops by 8 May 1996 in accordance with resolution
1045 (1996) of 8 February 1996;

     5.   Reiterates that quartering and disarming of UNITA troops are crucial
components of the peace process which are fundamental to its success and
stresses that further procrastination cannot be justified and, if continued,
could bring about the collapse of the whole peace process;

     6.   Notes the recent progress in the quartering of UNITA troops and calls
upon UNITA to fulfil by June 1996 its obligation to complete the credible,

                              RESOLUTION 1056 (1996)

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 3668th meeting,
                                   on 29 May 1996

     The Security Council,

     Reaffirming all its previous resolutions on the question of Western Sahara,

     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 8 May 1996
(S/1996/343),

     Noting the views expressed by the Government of Morocco as set out in the
report of the Secretary-General and in the memorandum attached to the letter
addressed to the Secretary-General dated 10 May 1996 (S/1996/345),

     Noting also the views expressed by the Polisario Front as set out in the
report of the Secretary-General and in the memorandum attached to the letter
addressed to the Secretary-General dated 23 May 1996 (S/1996/366),

     Noting also the letter dated 23 May 1996 from the Current Chairman and the
Secretary-General of the Organization of African Unity (S/1996/376),

     Reaffirming its commitment to assist the parties to achieve a just and
lasting solution to the question of Western Sahara,

     Stressing the importance it attaches to the maintenance of the cease-fire,
as an integral part of the Settlement Plan,

     Recognizing that, despite all the difficulties, the United Nations Mission
for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) has to date identified more than
60,000 persons,

     Reiterating that, for progress to be achieved, the two parties must have a
vision of the post-referendum period,

     1.   Reiterates its commitment to the holding, as soon as possible, of a
free, fair and impartial referendum for the self-determination of the people of

96-13412 (E)                                                                  /...

Western Sahara in accordance with the Settlement Plan which has been accepted by
the two parties referred to above;

     2.   Deeply regrets the fact that the required willingness does not exist
to give MINURSO the cooperation needed for it to resume and complete the
identification process, and that there has therefore been no significant
progress towards implementation of the Settlement Plan;

     3.   Agrees with the recommendation of the Secretary-General that the
identification process be suspended until such time as both parties provide
concrete and convincing evidence that they are committed to resuming and
completing it without further obstacles, in accordance with the Settlement Plan;

     4.   Supports the proposal of the Secretary-General to reduce the strength
of the military component of MINURSO by 20 per cent, on the understanding that
this will not impair its operational effectiveness in monitoring the cease-fire;

     5.   Endorses the view of the Secretary-General that the decision to
suspend temporarily the work of the Identification Commission and to reduce the
number of civilian police and military personnel does not imply any lessening of
resolve to secure the implementation of the Settlement Plan;

     6.   Supports the proposal of the Secretary-General, in the context of the
Settlement Plan, to maintain a political office to continue the dialogue with
the parties and the two neighbouring countries and to facilitate any other
effort that could help set the parties on a course towards an agreed formula for
the resolution of their differences and encourages the Secretary-General to
consider ways of strengthening the role of this office;

     7.   Urges the two parties to demonstrate without further delay the
political will, cooperation and flexibility necessary to permit the resumption
and early completion of the identification process and the implementation of the
Settlement Plan; notes with satisfaction that the parties have respected the
cease-fire, which is an integral part of the Settlement Plan, and calls upon
them to continue to do so;

     8.   Also calls upon the parties, as a demonstration of good will, to
cooperate with the United Nations in the implementation of certain aspects of
the Settlement Plan, such as the release of Saharan political prisoners and the
exchange of prisoners of war on humanitarian grounds, as soon as possible, to
accelerate implementation of the Settlement Plan in its entirety;

     9.   Encourages the parties to consider additional ways to create
confidence between themselves in order to remove obstacles to implementation of
the Settlement Plan;

     10. Decides to extend the mandate of MINURSO, on the basis proposed by the
Secretary-General in his report of 8 May 1996, until 30 November 1996;

     11. Reminds the parties that if significant progress is not achieved
during this period, the Council will have to consider other measures, including
possible further reductions in the strength of MINURSO, but stresses its

                                                                            /...

readiness to support the resumption of the identification process as soon as the
parties have demonstrated the necessary political will, cooperation and
flexibility, as called for in paragraph 7 above;

     12. Requests the Secretary-General to continue his efforts with the
parties to break the impasse blocking the implementation of the Settlement Plan,
and to submit a report to the Council by 31 August 1996 on the outcome of his
efforts;

     13. Also requests the Secretary-General to keep the Council closely
informed of all significant developments, including their humanitarian aspects,
and to submit a comprehensive report on the implementation of this resolution by
10 November 1996;

     14.   Decides to remain seized of the matter.

     The Security Council,

     Recalling all its previous resolutions concerning the situation in Liberia,

     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General dated 21 May 1996
(S/1996/362) on the United Nations Observer Mission in Liberia (UNOMIL),

     Stressing that the escalating violence is in violation of the Abuja
Agreement (S/1995/742, annex) and puts the peace process at grave risk,

     Firmly convinced of the importance of Monrovia as a safe haven, and noting
especially the recent broader deployment of ECOMOG in the city,

     Emphasizing once again that the people of Liberia and their leaders bear

     2.    Decides to extend the mandate of UNOMIL until 31 August 1996;

ground warranted the Secretary-General’s decision to temporarily reduce the

at their present level and requests that he advise the Security Council of any
significant planned increase in the number of personnel deployed depending on
