               Adopted by the Security Council at its 3794th meeting,
                                  on 27 June 1997

     The Security Council,

     Welcoming the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations
operation in Cyprus of 5 June 1997 (S/1997/437 and Corr.1 and Add.1),

     Welcoming also the letter of 20 June 1997 to the President of the Security
Council from the Secretary-General on his mission of good offices in Cyprus
(S/1997/480),

     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 1997,

     Reaffirming its earlier relevant resolutions on Cyprus, and in particular
resolutions 186 (1964) of 4 March 1964, 939 (1994) of 29 July 1994 and
1092 (1996) of 23 December 1996,

     Noting with concern that tensions along the ceasefire lines remain high
despite the decrease in the number of serious incidents over the last six
months,

     Reiterating its concern that negotiations on a final political solution
have been at an impasse for too long,

     1.   Decides to extend the mandate of UNFICYP for a further period ending
on 31 December 1997;

     2.   Reminds both sides of their obligation to prevent any violence
directed against UNFICYP personnel, to cooperate fully with UNFICYP and to
ensure its complete freedom of movement;

     3.   Underlines the importance of agreement by both sides to the reciprocal
measures for the reduction of tension along the ceasefire lines proposed by
UNFICYP as set forth in its resolution 1092 (1996), deeply regrets the fact

97-17716 (E)                                                                   /...

that, in spite of the efforts of UNFICYP, neither side has so far accepted such
measures as a package, and reiterates its call on both sides to do so without
further delay or preconditions;

     4.   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;

     5.   Reiterates grave concern at the continuing excessive 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 and 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 again 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 calls upon the Secretary-General to promote efforts in this
direction;

     7.   Reiterates that the status quo is unacceptable, and stresses its
support for the Secretary-General's mission of good offices and the importance
of the concerted efforts to work with the Secretary-General towards an overall
comprehensive settlement;

     8.   Welcomes the decision of the Secretary-General to launch a sustained
process of direct negotiations between the leaders of the two Cypriot
communities with the aim of securing such a settlement;

     9.   Calls upon those leaders to commit themselves to this process of
negotiations, including participation in the first session of such negotiations
to be held 9-13 July 1997, urges them to cooperate actively and constructively
with the Secretary-General and his Special Adviser on Cyprus,
Mr. Diego Cordovez, to that end, and stresses that full support of all concerned
is necessary for this process to produce results;

     10. Further calls upon the parties to create a climate for reconciliation
and genuine mutual confidence on both sides, and to avoid any actions which
might increase tension;

     11. 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;

                                                                            /...

      12. Welcomes the continuous efforts by UNFICYP to implement its
humanitarian mandate in respect of Greek Cypriots and Maronites living in the
northern part of the island, and Turkish Cypriots living in the southern part,
and regrets that there has been no further progress on the implementation of
recommendations arising out of the humanitarian review undertaken by UNFICYP in
1995;

     13. Welcomes the efforts of the United Nations and others concerned to
promote the holding of bi-communal events so as to build trust and mutual
respect between the two communities, urges that these efforts be continued,
acknowledges the recent cooperation from all concerned on both sides to that
end, and strongly encourages them to take further steps to facilitate such
bi-communal events and to ensure that they take place in conditions of safety
and security;

     14. Reaffirms that the decision of the European Union concerning the
opening of accession negotiations with Cyprus is an important development that
should facilitate an overall settlement;

     15. Requests the Secretary-General to keep under review the structure and
strength of UNFICYP with a view to its possible restructuring, and to present
any new considerations he may have in this regard;

     16. Requests the Secretary-General to submit a report by 10 December 1997
on the implementation of this resolution;

     17.   Decides to remain seized of the matter.

reconciliation,

     Emphasizing the need for the Government of Angola and the Uniao Nacional
para a Independencia Total de Angola (UNITA) to implement without further delay
the remaining political and military tasks of the peace process,

     Expressing its concern about the recent increase in tensions, especially in
the northeastern provinces, and the attacks by UNITA on UNAVEM III posts and
personnel,

peace process rests with the Angolan people themselves,

     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 5 June 1997

     The Security Council,

     Recalling all its relevant resolutions concerning the territories of
Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium of the Republic of Croatia, in
particular its resolutions 1023 (1995) of 22 November 1995, 1025 (1995) of
30 November 1995, 1037 (1996) of 15 January 1996, 1043 (1996) of

     Reaffirming once again its commitment to the independence, sovereignty and
territorial integrity of the Republic of Croatia, and emphasizing in this regard
that the territories of Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium are
integral parts of the Republic of Croatia,

     Expressing its appreciation for the substantial achievements of the United
Nations Transitional Administration for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western
Sirmium (UNTAES) in facilitating progress towards the peaceful return of the
Region to the control of the Republic of Croatia, and expressing further its
deep appreciation to the dedicated military and civilian personnel of UNTAES for
their outstanding contributions to the mission of UNTAES, and to the
Transitional Administrator, Mr. Jacques Paul Klein, for his leadership and
dedication,

and Western Sirmium (S/1995/951), signed on 12 November 1995 by the Government
of the Republic of Croatia and the local Serb community (the Basic Agreement),

safety to their homes throughout the Republic of Croatia, and further
emphasizing the importance of the two-way return of all displaced persons in the
Republic of Croatia,

97-19504 (E)                                                                   /...

S/RES/1120 (1997)
Page 2

     Welcoming the Agreement of the Joint Working Group on the Operational
Procedures of Return (S/1997/341, annex), but noting with concern that the lack
of conditions necessary for the return of displaced persons to the former United
Nations Protected Areas from the Region of Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western
Sirmium prevents the return in any substantial number of those displaced persons
seeking to return to Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium from other
parts of Croatia,

     Expressing its grave concern over the lack of improvement in respect for
human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities, in
Croatia and in particular in the former United Nations Protected Areas, and
strongly deploring recent incidents of ethnically-motivated violence in Hrvatska
Kostajnica and similar incidents,

     Reiterating its concerns about the failure of the Government of the
Republic of Croatia to cooperate fully with the International Tribunal for the
Former Yugoslavia, and in this context recalling the obligation of the States in
the region to surrender all those indicted to the Tribunal,

     Reiterating also its concerns about continued uncertainty regarding
implementation of the Amnesty Law, which has been detrimental to the building of
confidence and trust among Croatia's ethnic communities,

     Welcoming the report of the Secretary-General of 23 June 1997 (S/1997/487),
and noting in particular his recommendations for the continued presence of
UNTAES after 15 July 1997 with an appropriate restructuring of the mission,

     Recalling that the Basic Agreement provides that the transitional period of
twelve months may be extended at most to another period of the same duration if
so requested by one of the parties, and noting that the local Serb community has
requested such an extension, as indicated by the Secretary-General in his report
of 28 August 1996 (S/1996/705),

     Determining that the situation in Croatia continues to constitute a threat
to international peace and security,

Croatia of 13 January 1997 (S/1997/27, annex);

     2.   Reaffirms in particular the importance of full compliance by the
parties, in particular by the Government of the Republic of Croatia, with their
commitments, as specified in the Basic Agreement, to respect the highest
standards of human rights and fundamental freedoms and to promote an atmosphere
of confidence among local residents regardless of their ethnic origin, and urges

                                                                            /...

from the Republic of Croatia to return to their homes of origin throughout the
Republic of Croatia;

     4.   Strongly urges the Government of the Republic of Croatia to eliminate

displaced persons, in particular those posed by the Law on Temporary Take Over

their homes in Croatia, including the prompt payment of pensions; and to foster

including the Government of the Republic of Croatia, to cooperate fully with the
International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia;

     7.   Urges the Government of the Republic of Croatia to eliminate
ambiguities in implementation of the Amnesty Law, and to implement it fairly and
objectively in accordance with international standards, in particular by
concluding all investigations of crimes covered by the amnesty and undertaking
an immediate and comprehensive review with United Nations and local Serb
participation of all charges outstanding against individuals for serious
violations of international humanitarian law which are not covered by the
amnesty in order to end proceedings against all individuals against whom there
is insufficient evidence;

     8.   Decides to extend the mandate of UNTAES until 15 January 1998, as
envisaged in its resolution 1079 (1996) of 15 November 1996 as well as in the
Basic Agreement;

     9.   Endorses the plan for the gradual devolution of executive
responsibility for civil administration in the Region by the Transitional
Administrator, as set out in the report of the Secretary-General of
23 June 1997;

     10. Endorses the plan for restructuring UNTAES, as set out in the report

achieving the drawdown of the UNTAES military component by 15 October 1997;

     11. Stresses that the pace of the gradual devolution of executive
responsibility would be commensurate with Croatia's demonstrated ability to
reassure the Serb population and successfully complete peaceful reintegration;

                                                                            /...

States, acting nationally or through regional organizations or arrangements,

defence of UNTAES and, as appropriate, to assist in the withdrawal of UNTAES;

     13. Requests that UNTAES and the multinational stabilization force

     15. Stresses the importance of demilitarization of the area, and in that
context stresses further the importance of achieving bilateral agreements on
demilitarization and a liberal border regime in the region of Eastern Slavonia,
Baranja and Western Sirmium, accompanied by appropriate confidence-building
measures as suggested in the report of the Secretary-General of 23 June 1997;

     16. Calls upon the Government of the Republic of Croatia, inter alia, to

continued and reinforced OSCE presence in the Republic of Croatia, with a
particular focus on two-way return of all refugees and displaced persons,
protection of their rights, and the protection of persons belonging to national
minorities, welcomes also the decision of OSCE for the build-up starting
July 1997 of its mission personnel with a view to full deployment by
15 January 1998, and urges the Government of the Republic of Croatia to
cooperate fully with the OSCE mission to that end;

     18. Underlines the observation of the Secretary-General that the essential
prerequisite for the successful completion of peaceful reintegration of the
Region is the full cooperation of the Government of the Republic of Croatia,
which bears the responsibility for convincing the local population that the
reintegration of the people of the Region is sustainable and that the process of
reconciliation and return is irreversible;

     19.   Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.
