                                on 22 September 1995

     The Security Council,

     Reaffirming its resolutions 621 (1988) of 20 September 1988, 658 (1990) of
27 June 1990, 690 (1991) of 29 April 1991, 725 (1991) of 31 December 1991,

relating to the criteria for voter eligibility and the compromise proposal of
the Secretary-General on their interpretation (S/26185),

     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 8 September 1995
(S/1995/779), and noting further the fact that only two out of the eight
identification centres are currently functioning,

     Committed to reaching a just and lasting solution to the question of
Western Sahara,

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

     Expressing the hope for a rapid resolution of the problems causing delays
in the completion of the identification process,

     Expressing its regret that the outcome of the preliminary vetting by the
Government of Morocco of the 100,000 applicants not residing in the territory is
contributing to the inability of MINURSO to maintain its timetable for
completing the identification process,

     Expressing its regret also that the Polisario Front is refusing to
participate in the identification, even within the territory, of three groups
within the disputed tribal groupings, thus delaying completion of the
identification process,

recommendations of the mission of the Security Council concerning the
identification process and other aspects of the Settlement Plan as described in

free, fair and impartial referendum for the self-determination of the people of
Western Sahara in accordance with the Settlement Plan, which has been accepted
by the two parties stated above;

     2.   Expresses its disappointment that, since the adoption of resolution
1002 (1995), the parties have made insufficient progress towards the fulfilment
of the Settlement Plan, including the identification process, the code of
conduct, the release of political prisoners, the confinement of Polisario troops
and the arrangements for the reduction of Moroccan troops in the territory;

     3.   Calls upon the two parties to work henceforth with the Secretary-General and MINURSO in a spirit of genuine cooperation to implement the
Settlement Plan in accordance with the relevant resolutions, to abandon their
insistence on strict reciprocity in the operation of the identification centres
and to cease all other procrastinating actions which could further delay the
holding of the referendum;

     4.   Requests the Secretary-General, in close consultation with the
parties, to produce specific and detailed proposals to resolve the problems
hindering the completion of the identification process in the framework of the
relevant Security Council resolutions, in particular resolution 907 (1994)
relating to the compromise proposal of the Secretary-General (S/26185), and
resolution 1002 (1995) relating to the recommendations of the Security Council
mission (S/1995/498), and to report on the outcome of his efforts in this regard
by 15 November 1995;

     5.   Decides to review the arrangements for the completion of the
identification process on the basis of the report requested in paragraph 4
above, and to consider at that time any further necessary measures which might

other aspects relevant to the fulfilment of the Settlement Plan;

     6.   Decides to extend the mandate of MINURSO until 31 January 1996 as
recommended by the Secretary-General in his report of 8 September 1995 and takes
note of his intention, if, before then, he considers that the conditions
necessary for the start of the transitional period are not in place, to present
the Security Council with alternative options for consideration, including the
possibility of the withdrawal of MINURSO;

                                                                              /...

     8.   Stresses the need to accelerate the implementation of the Settlement
Plan and urges the Secretary-General to examine ways of reducing the operational
costs of MINURSO;

MINURSO remains unchanged, supports the invitation by the General Assembly to
Member States, in General Assembly resolution 49/247 of 7 August 1995, to make
voluntary contributions to MINURSO, and requests the Secretary-General, without
prejudice to existing procedures, to consider the establishment of a trust fund
to receive such voluntary contributions for certain specific purposes to be
designated by the Secretary-General;

     10.   Decides to remain seized of the matter.

respective mandates,

     Noting the appreciable progress the Liberian parties have recently made

reported to the Cease-fire Violations Committee, to recommend measures to

country;

     17. Requests the Secretary-General to submit by 15 December 1995 a
progress report on the situation in Liberia including the implementation of the
adjusted mandate of UNOMIL, as well as its new concept of operations;

                                                                             /...

     The Security Council,

     Recalling all its previous relevant resolutions concerning the conflicts in
the former Yugoslavia,

Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia constitutes an essential aspect of
implementing the Peace Agreement,

     Recognizing the interests of all States in the implementation of the
suspension and subsequent termination of measures imposed by the Council, and in
particular the interests of the successor States to the State formerly known as
the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, with respect to the disposition of
assets affected by the fact that that State has ceased to exist, and the
desirability of accelerating the process now under way under the auspices of the
International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia (ICFY) to reach a consensual
agreement among the successor States as to the disposition of such assets,

threat to international peace and security,

shall be automatically reimposed from the fifth day following the date of such
report;

     2.   Decides also that the suspension referred to in paragraph 1 above

the Peace Agreement, on the basis of a report transmitted through the
appropriate political authorities, informs the Council via the Secretary-General
that all Bosnian Serb forces have withdrawn behind the zones of separation
established in the Peace Agreement; and urges all parties concerned to take all
necessary measures to assist in locating the two French pilots mission in Bosnia
and Herzegovina, and to ensure their immediate and safe return;

appropriate, either the High Representative described in the Peace Agreement, or
the commander of the international force to be deployed in accordance with the
Peace Agreement, on the basis of a report transmitted through the appropriate
political authorities, informs the Council via the Secretary-General that the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia or the Bosnian Serb authorities are failing
significantly to meet their obligations under the Peace Agreement, the
suspension referred to in paragraph 1 above shall terminate on the fifth day
following the Council's receipt of such a report, unless the Council decides
otherwise taking into consideration the nature of the non-compliance;

     4.   Further decides that it will terminate the measures described in

                                                                              /...

and fair elections provided for in annex 3 of the Peace Agreement, provided that
the Bosnian Serb forces have withdrawn from, and have continued to respect, the
zones of separation as provided in the Peace Agreement;

     5.   Further decides that so long as the measures referred to in
paragraph 1 above remain suspended, or are terminated by a subsequent Council
decision in accordance with paragraph 4 above, all funds and assets previously
frozen or impounded pursuant to resolutions 757 (1992) and 820 (1993) may be
released by States in accordance with law, provided that any such funds and
assets that are subject to any claims, liens, judgements, or encumbrances, or
which are the funds or assets of any person, partnership, corporation, or other
entity found or deemed insolvent under law or the accounting principles
prevailing in such State, shall remain frozen or impounded until released in
accordance with applicable law, and decides further that obligations of States
related to freezing or impounding funds and assets contained in such resolutions
shall be suspended pursuant to paragraph 1 above with respect to all funds and
assets not currently frozen or impounded until the measures concerned are
terminated by a subsequent Council decision;

to the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia with respect to funds and
assets; stresses the need for the successor States to reach agreement on the
distribution of funds and assets and the allocation of liabilities of the former
Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia; encourages all States to make
provision under their national law for addressing competing claims of States, as
well as claims of private parties affecting funds and assets; and further

collection of any funds and assets by the appropriate parties and the resolution
of claims related thereto;

     7.   Further decides that all States shall continue to take the necessary
measures to ensure that there shall be no claim in connection with the
performance of any contract or other transaction where such performance was
affected by the measures imposed by the resolutions referred to in paragraph 1
above and related resolutions;

     8.   Requests the Committee established pursuant to resolution 724 (1991)
