                                                                                /...

against Turkish Cypriots living in the southern part of the island;

     8.   Welcomes the continuing efforts of the United Nations and diplomatic
missions to promote bicommunal events, regrets the obstacles which have been

such contacts;

aircraft, and noting in particular the conclusions of the report,

     Recalling the principle that every State has complete and exclusive
sovereignty over the airspace above its territory, and that the territory of a
State shall be deemed to be the land areas and territorial waters adjacent
thereto and noting in this connection that States shall be guided by the
principles, rules, standards and recommended practices laid down in the

     2.   Notes that the unlawful shooting down by the Cuban Air Force of two

sympathy and condolences to the bereaved families of the victims of this tragic

civil aviation law and related internationally agreed procedures, including the
rules and standards and recommended practices set out in the Chicago Convention;

measures to prohibit the deliberate use of any civil aircraft registered in that
State or operated by an operator who has his principal place of business or
permanent residence in that State for any purpose inconsistent with the aims of
the Chicago Convention;

     6.   Condemns the use of weapons against civil aircraft in flight as being
incompatible with elementary considerations of humanity, the rules of customary
international law as codified in article 3 bis of the Chicago Convention, and
the standards and recommended practices set out in the annexes of the Convention
and calls upon Cuba to join other States in complying with their obligations
under these provisions;

the safety-related aspects of the report of the investigation with regard to the

interception of civil aircraft with a view to preventing the recurrence of a
similar tragic event;

     9.   Decides to remain seized of the matter.

peace and security,

this resolution, determine the date of entry into force of the provisions set
out in paragraph 3 above and all aspects of the modalities of its
implementation, unless the Council decides before then, on the basis of a report
presented by the Secretary-General, on the compliance of Sudan with the demand
in paragraph 1 above;

     5.   Requests the Secretary-General, by 15 November 1996, to submit a
