               Resolution 1522 (2004)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 4894th meeting, on
               15 January 2004

                    The Security Council,
                     Recalling its previous resolutions and statements of its President concerning
               the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo,
                     Encouraged by the progress achieved in the peace process in the Democratic
               Republic of the Congo since the conclusion of the Global and All Inclusive
               Agreement signed in Pretoria on 17 December 2002 and the subsequent
               establishment of the Government of National Unity and Transition,
                     Considering that the reform of the security sector, including the disarmament,
               demobilization and reintegration (DDR) of former combatants, the effective
               restructuring and integration of the armed forces of the former Congolese
               belligerents, and the establishment of an integrated national police, are key elements
               for the success of the transition process in the Democratic Republic of the Congo,
                    Reaffirming, in this regard, that overall responsibility lies with the Government
               of National Unity and Transition, welcoming the establishment of an integrated High
               Command, and calling for an effective cooperation at all levels of the Congolese
               armed forces,
                     1.   Welcomes the efforts currently undertaken to set up the first integrated
               and unified brigade in Kisangani as a step towards the elaboration and
               implementation of a comprehensive programme for the formation of a Congolese
               integrated national army;
                    2.    Decides that, since the Government of National Unity and Transition has
               been established and is in place, its demand for the demilitarization of Kisangani
               and its surroundings laid down in paragraph 3 of resolution 1304 (2000) shall not
               apply to the restructured and integrated forces of the Democratic Republic of the
               Congo and to the armed forces included in the comprehensive programme for the
               formation of an integrated and restructured national army;
                    3.    Urges the Government of National Unity and Transition to take the
               appropriate measures, for the restructuring and integration of the armed forces of the
               Democratic Republic of the Congo, in accordance with the Global and All Inclusive

               30 January 2004

                    The Security Council,
                     Recalling all its relevant resolutions, in particular resolution 1494 (2003) of 30
               July 2003,
                    Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 14 January 2004
               (S/2004/26),
                    Recalling the conclusions of the Lisbon (S/1997/57, annex) and Istanbul
               summits of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE)
               regarding the situation in Abkhazia, Georgia,
                    Recalling the relevant principles contained in the Convention on the Safety of
               United Nations and Associated Personnel adopted on 9 December 1994,
                     Deploring that the perpetrators of the shooting down of a helicopter of the
               United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) on 8 October 2001, which
               resulted in the death of nine people on board, have still not been identified,
                     Stressing that the continued lack of progress on key issues of a comprehensive
               settlement of the conflict in Abkhazia, Georgia, is unacceptable,
                    Welcoming, however, the positive momentum given to the United Nations-led
               peace process by regular high-level meetings of the Group of Friends in Geneva and
               the Georgian-Russian summit meeting in March 2003,
                    Noting the holding of presidential elections in Georgia in January and
               encouraging the new Georgian leadership as well as the Abkhaz side to pursue a
               comprehensive, peaceful political settlement of the conflict in Abkhazia, Georgia,
                      Welcoming the important contributions made by UNOMIG and the Collective
               Peacekeeping Forces of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS
               peacekeeping force) in stabilizing the situation in the zone of conflict, and stressing
               its attachment to the close cooperation existing between them in the performance of
               their respective mandates,
                    1.   Welcomes the report of the Secretary-General of 14 January 2004
               (S/2004/26);

                     2.   Reaffirms the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty,
               independence and territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally
               recognized borders, and the necessity to define the status of Abkhazia within the
               State of Georgia in strict accordance with these principles;
                     3.   Commends and strongly supports the sustained efforts of the Secretary-General and his Special Representative, with the assistance of the Russian
               Federation in its capacity as facilitator as well as of the Group of Friends of the
               Secretary-General and of the OSCE, to promote the stabilization of the situation and
               the achievement of a comprehensive political settlement, which must include a
               settlement of the political status of Abkhazia within the State of Georgia;
                      4.    Stresses, in particular, its strong support for the document on “Basic
               Principles for the Distribution of Competences between Tbilisi and Sukhumi” and
               for its letter of transmittal, finalized by, and with the full support of, all members of
               the Group of Friends;
                     5.   Deeply regrets, the continued refusal of the Abkhaz side to agree to a
               discussion on the substance of this document, again strongly urges the Abkhaz side
               to receive the document and its transmittal letter, urges both parties thereafter to
               give them full and open consideration, and to engage in constructive negotiations on
               their substance, and urges those having influence with the parties to promote this
               outcome;
                     6.    Regrets the lack of progress on the initiation of political status
               negotiations, and recalls, once again, that the purpose of these documents is to
               facilitate meaningful negotiations between the parties, under the leadership of the
               United Nations, on the status of Abkhazia within the State of Georgia, and is not an
               attempt to impose or dictate any specific solution to the parties;
                     7.    Underlines further that the process of negotiation leading to a lasting
               political settlement acceptable to both sides will require concessions from both
               sides;
                     8.    Welcomes the convening of regular meetings of senior representatives of
               the Group of Friends in Geneva and the intention expressed by the parties to accept
               the invitation to participate in the forthcoming meeting and calls upon them to
               participate again in a positive spirit;
                      9.   Urges the parties to participate in a more active, regular and structured
               manner in the task forces established in the first Geneva meeting (to address issues
               in the priority areas of economic cooperation, the return of internally displaced
               persons and refugees, and political and security matters) and complemented by the
               working groups established in Sochi, and stresses that results oriented activities in
               these three priority areas remain key to building common ground between the
               Georgian and Abkhaz sides and ultimately for concluding meaningful negotiations
               on a comprehensive political settlement based on the paper entitled “Basic
               Principles for the Distribution of Competences between Tbilisi and Sukhumi” and
               its transmittal letter;
                    10. Welcomes the joint Georgian-Abkhaz high-level visit to Bosnia and
               Herzegovina and to Kosovo, Serbia and Montenegro, led by the Special
               Representative of the Secretary-General, as agreed in the second Geneva meeting;

     11.    Calls on the parties to spare no efforts to overcome their ongoing mutual
mistrust;
     12. Calls again on the parties to ensure the necessary revitalization of the
peace process in all its major aspects, including their work in the Coordinating
Council and its relevant mechanisms, to build on the results of the Yalta meeting on
confidence-building measures in March 2001 (S/2001/242), to implement the
proposals agreed on that occasion in a purposeful and cooperative manner, and to
consider holding a fourth conference on confidence-building measures;
     13. Reminds all concerned to refrain from any action that might impede the
peace process;
      14. Stresses the urgent need for progress on the question of the refugees and
internally displaced persons, calls on both sides to display a genuine commitment to
make returns the focus of special attention and to undertake this task in close
coordination with UNOMIG and consultations with UNHCR and the Group of
Friends and recalls the understanding in the Sochi summit that the reopening of the
Sochi-Tbilisi railway will be undertaken in parallel with the return of refugees and
displaced persons, starting in the Gali district;
      15. Reaffirms the unacceptability of the demographic changes resulting from
the conflict, reaffirms also the inalienable right of all refugees and IDPs affected by
the conflict to return to their homes in secure and dignified conditions, in
accordance with international law and as set out in the Quadripartite Agreement of 4
April 1994 (S/1994/397, annex II) and the Yalta Declaration;
      16. Recalls that the Abkhaz side bears a particular responsibility to protect
the returnees and to facilitate the return of the remaining displaced population;
      17. Welcomes the mission led by the United Nations Development
Programme to the Gali region (December 2003) to assess the feasibility of a
sustainable recovery process for the local population and potential returnees and to
identify further actions to improve the overall security conditions and ensure
sustainable return and looks forward to the publication of the resulting report;
      18. Welcomes the positive consideration by the parties given to the
recommendations of the joint assessment mission to the Gali district, urges them
once again to implement those recommendations and in particular calls upon the
Abkhaz side to agree to the opening as soon as possible of the Gali branch of the
human rights office in Sukhumi and to provide security conditions for its unhindered
functioning;
      19. Welcomes the start of the deployment of a civilian police component as
part of UNOMIG, as endorsed in resolution 1494 (2003) and agreed by the parties,
looks forward to an early confirmation by the Abkhaz side that the deployment in
the Gali district of the remaining police officers can proceed, and calls on the parties
to cooperate and actively support the police component;
     20. Calls in particular on the Abkhaz side to improve law enforcement
involving the local population and to address the lack of instruction in their mother
tongue for the ethnic Georgian population;
      21. Calls on both parties further to publicly dissociate themselves from any
militant rhetoric and demonstrations of support for military options or for the

                                                                                3

               activities of illegal armed groups, notes the efforts undertaken by the Georgian side

               particular the Georgian side, to maintain their efforts;
                   22. Condemns any violations of the provisions of the Moscow Agreement of

                     23. Welcomes the continuing relative calm in the Kodori Valley and the
               intention reaffirmed by the parties to resolve the situation peacefully, recalls its
               strong support to the protocol signed by the two sides on 2 April 2002 regarding the
               situation in the valley and calls on the sides to continue to fully implement this
               protocol;
                    24. Deplores the deterioration in the security environment in the Gali sector
               including repeated killings and abductions;
                     25. Welcomes the holding of a Quadripartite meeting with high-level
               representation by the parties on 19 January 2004, and their signing of a protocol on
               security issues and urges the parties to abide by the provisions of that protocol and

               each other to improve security in the Gali sector;
                    26. Calls on the Georgian side to continue to improve security for joint
               UNOMIG and CIS peacekeeping force patrols in the Kodori Valley to enable them
               to resume monitoring of the situation independently and regularly when road
               conditions permit;
                     27. Underlines that it is the primary responsibility of both sides to provide
               appropriate security and to ensure the freedom of movement of UNOMIG, the CIS
               peacekeeping force and other international personnel; strongly condemns the
               repeated abductions of personnel of those missions, deeply deplores that none of the
               perpetrators have ever been identified or brought to justice and reiterates that it is
               the responsibility of the parties to end this impunity;
                    28. Urges the parties, once again, to take all necessary steps to identify those
               responsible for the shooting down of a UNOMIG helicopter on 8 October 2001, to

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 4925th meeting,
               on 12 March 2004

                    The Security Council,
                    Recalling its resolution 1521 (2003) of 22 December 2003, and its other
               previous resolutions and statements by its President on the situation in Liberia and
               West Africa,
                     Noting with concern that the actions and policies of former Liberian President
               Charles Taylor and other persons, in particular their depletion of Liberian resources,
               and their removal from Liberia and secreting of Liberian funds and property from
               that country, have undermined Liberia’s transition to democracy and the orderly
               development of its political, administrative, and economic institutions and
               resources,
                    Recognizing the negative impact on Liberia of the transfer abroad of
               misappropriated funds and assets and the need for the international community to
               ensure as soon as possible, in accordance with paragraph 6 below, the return of such
               funds and assets to Liberia,
                    Also expressing concern that former President Taylor, in collaboration with
               others still closely associated with him, continues to exercise control over and to
               have access to such misappropriated funds and property, with which he and his
               associates are able to engage in activities that undermine peace and stability in
               Liberia and the region,
                    Determining that this situation constitutes a threat to international peace and
               security in West Africa, in particular to the peace process in Liberia,

               designated by the Committee established by paragraph 21 of resolution 1521 (2003)
               (hereinafter, “the Committee”) from using misappropriated funds and property to
               interfere in the restoration of peace and stability in Liberia and the sub-region, all
