               26 June 2019

                    The Security Council,
                     Noting with concern that the situation in the Middle East is tense and is likely
               to remain so, unless and until a comprehensive settlement covering all aspects of the
               Middle East problem can be reached,
                     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations
               Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) of 3 June 2019 (S/2019/467) and also
               reaffirming its resolution 1308 (2000) of 17 July 2000,

               observe the ceasefire,
                     Expressing concern that the ongoing military activities conducted by any actor
               in the area of separation continue to have the potential to escalate tensions between
               Israel and the Syrian Arab Republic, jeopardize the ceasefire between the two
               countries, and pose a risk to the local civilian population and United Nations
               personnel on the ground, and expressing its appreciation in this regard to UNDOF ’s
               liaison efforts to prevent any escalation of the situation across the ceasefire line,

               conflagration of the conflict in the region,
                    Expressing grave concern at all violations of the Disengagement of Forces
               Agreement,
                    Noting the Secretary-General’s latest report on the situation in the area of
               operations of UNDOF, including findings about weapons fire across the ceasefire line
               as well as ongoing military activity on the Bravo side of the area of separation, and
               in this regard underscoring that there should be no military forces, military
               equipment, or personnel in the area of separation other than those of UNDOF,
                     Underlining the need for all parties to the Syrian domestic conflict to cease
               military actions in the UNDOF area of operations and to respect international
               humanitarian law,
                    Calling upon all parties to the Syrian domestic conflict to cease military actions
               throughout the country, including in the UNDOF area of operations,

S/RES/2477 (2019)

                    Noting the significant threat to the UN personnel in the UNDOF area of
               operation from unexploded ordnance, explosive remnants of war and mines, and
               emphasizing in this regard the need for demining and clearance operations in strict
               compliance with the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement,

               and entities providing support to the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also
               known as Da’esh) or to the Al-Nusra Front (also known as Jabhat Fateh al-Sham or
               Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham), including those who are financing, arming, planning, or
               recruiting for ISIL or the Al-Nusra Front and all other individuals, groups,
               undertakings, and entities associated with ISIL and Al-Qaida as listed on the ISIL

                     Recognizing the necessity of efforts to flexibly adjust UNDOF’s posture to
               minimize the security risk to UNDOF personnel as UNDOF continues to implement
               its mandate, while emphasizing that the ultimate goal is for the peacekeepers to return
               to UNDOF’s area of operations as soon as practicable,
                    Emphasizing the importance of Security Council and troop-contributing
               countries having access to reports and information related to UNDOF’s redeployment
               configuration, and reinforcing that such information assists the Security Council with
               evaluating, mandating, and reviewing UNDOF and with effective consultation with
               troop-contributing countries,
                     Underscoring the need for UNDOF to have at its disposal all necessary means
               and resources to carry out its mandate safely and securely, including technology and
               equipment to enhance its observation of the area of separation and the ceasefire line,
               and to improve force protection, as appropriate, and recalling that the theft of United
               Nations weapons and ammunition, vehicles and other assets, and the looting and
               destruction of United Nations facilities, are unacceptable,
                     Expressing its profound appreciation to UNDOF’s military and civilian
               personnel, including those from Observer Group Golan, for their service in an
               ongoing, challenging operating environment, underscoring the important

               Observer Group Golan, personnel, and stressing the need for continued vigilance to
               ensure the safety and security of UNDOF and Observer Group Golan personnel,

               Commander Major General Francis Vib-Sanziri and sharing in the sorrow of his
               passing, expressing appreciation to the interim leadership for its unwavering
               implementation of UNDOF’s mandate,
                    Strongly condemning incidents threatening the safety and security of United
               Nations personnel,
                     Expressing its appreciation to UNDOF, including Observer Group Golan, for
               re-establishing its presence at Camp Faouar and for further progress towards
               expanding its presence in its area of operations through patrols and rehabilitation of
               positions on the Bravo side,
                     Taking note of the Secretary-General’s plan for UNDOF to return to the Bravo
               side based on a continuous assessment of security in the area of separation and its
               surroundings, and continued discussion and coordination with the parties,
                    Recalls that UNDOF’s deployment and the 1974 Disengagement of Forces
