                    The Security Council,
                    Noting that under the provisions of Article 55 of the Fourth Geneva
               Convention (Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in
               Time of War of August 12, 1949), to the fullest extent of the means available to it,
               the Occupying Power has the duty of ensuring the food and medical supplies of the
               population; it should, in particular, bring in the necessary foodstuffs, medical stores
               and other articles if the resources of the occupied territory are inadequate,
                    Convinced of the urgent need to continue to provide humanitarian relief to the
               people of Iraq throughout the country on an equitable basis, and of the need to
               extend such humanitarian relief measures to the people of Iraq who leave the
               country as a result of hostilities,
                     Recalling its previous relevant resolutions, and in particular resolutions 661

                    Stressing the necessity to make every effort to sustain the operation of the
               present national food basket distribution network,
                    Stressing also the need for consideration of a further reassessment of the
               Programme during and after the emergency phase,
                    Reaffirming the respect for the right of the people of Iraq to determine their
               own political future and to control their own natural resources,
                     Reaffirming the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty and
               territorial integrity of Iraq,

               Resolution 1474 (2003)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 4737th meeting, on
               8 April 2003

                    The Security Council,
                     Reaffirming its previous resolutions concerning the situation in Somalia, in
               particular resolution 733 (1992) of 23 January 1992, which established an embargo
               on all delivery of weapons and military equipment to Somalia (hereinafter referred
               to as the “arms embargo”), resolution 1407 (2002) of 3 May 2002, resolution 1425
               (2002) of 22 July 2002, and the statements of its President of 28 March 2002
               (S/PRST/2002/8), of 12 December 2002 (S/PRST/2002/35), and of 12 March 2003
               (S/PRST/2003/2),
                     Noting with regret that the arms embargo has been continuously violated since
               1992, including since the signing of the “Declaration on Cessation of Hostilities and
               the Structure and Principles of the Somalia National Reconciliation Process”
               (Eldoret Declaration) in October 2002, and expressing concern over the illegal
               activities linked to the financing of arms purchases and military activities by the
               violators of the arms embargo in Somalia,
                     Reiterating its firm support for the Somali National Reconciliation Process and
               the ongoing Somali National Reconciliation Conference, reaffirming the importance
               of the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independence and unity of Somalia,
               consistent with the purposes and principles of the Charter, and commending the
               efforts of Kenya as the host of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development
               (IGAD) sponsored Somali National Reconciliation Conference,
                    Reiterating its insistence that all States, in particular those of the region,
               should not interfere in the internal affairs of Somalia. Such interference only further
               destabilizes Somalia, contributes to a climate of fear and impacts adversely on
               human rights, and could jeopardize the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political
               independence and unity of Somalia. Stressing that the territory of Somalia should
               not be used to undermine stability in the subregion,
                    Reiterating its serious concern over the continued flow of weapons and
               ammunition supplies to and through Somalia from sources outside the country, in
               contravention of the arms embargo, which is severely undermining peace and
               security and the political efforts for national reconciliation in Somalia, and which

               undermines the commitments made at the Nairobi Conference on Small Arms and
               Light Weapons in 2000,
                    Recognizing the importance of improving the implementation and enhancing
               the monitoring of the arms embargo in Somalia through persistent and vigilant
               investigation into violations of the arms embargo,
                    Determining that the situation in Somalia constitutes a threat to international
               peace and security in the region,
                    Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
                     1.   Stresses the obligation of all States and other actors to comply fully with
               resolution 733 (1992), and reaffirms that non-compliance constitutes a violation of
               the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations;

               Resolution 1475 (2003)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 4740th meeting, on
               14 April 2003

                    The Security Council,
                     Reaffirming all its resolutions on Cyprus, in particular resolution 1250 (1999)
               of 29 June 1999 aimed at achieving agreement on a comprehensive Cyprus
               settlement,
                     Reiterating its strong interest in achieving an overall political settlement on
               Cyprus which takes full consideration of relevant Security Council resolutions and
               treaties,
                     Welcoming the report of the Secretary-General of 1 April 2003 (S/2003/398)
               on his mission of good offices in Cyprus,
                    1.    Commends the extraordinary effort made by the Secretary-General and
               his Special Adviser and his team since 1999 in pursuance of his Good Offices
               mission and within the framework of Security Council resolution 1250 (1999);
                    2.    Further commends the Secretary-General for taking the initiative to
               present to the parties a comprehensive settlement plan aimed at bridging the gaps
               between them, drawing upon the talks that began in December 1999 under United
               Nations auspices and, following negotiations, to revise that plan on 10 December
               2002 and 26 February 2003;
                     3.    Regrets that, as described in the Secretary-General’s report, due to the
               negative approach of the Turkish Cypriot leader, culminating in the position taken at
               the 10-11 March 2003 meeting in The Hague, it was not possible to reach agreement
               to put the plan to simultaneous referenda as suggested by the Secretary-General, and
               thus that the Turkish Cypriots and the Greek Cypriots have been denied the
               opportunity to decide for themselves on a plan that would have permitted the
               reunification of Cyprus and as a consequence it will not be possible to achieve a
               comprehensive settlement before 16 April 2003;
                    4.   Gives its full support to the Secretary-General’s carefully balanced plan
               of 26 February 2003 as a unique basis for further negotiations, and calls on all
               concerned to negotiate within the framework of the Secretary-General’s Good
               Offices, using the plan to reach a comprehensive settlement as set forth in
               paragraphs 144-151 of the Secretary-General’s report;

                    5.    Stresses its full support for the Secretary-General’s mission of Good
               Offices as entrusted to him in resolution 1250 (1999) and asks the Secretary-General
               to continue to make available his Good Offices for Cyprus as outlined in his report;
                    6.   Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.

      13. Renews its appeal to all the States in the region to support the peace

important for the process of reconstruction;
