               Adopted by the Security Council at its 3608th meeting,
                                 on 19 December 1995

     The Security Council,

     Welcoming the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations
operation in Cyprus of 10 December 1995 (S/1995/1020 and Add.1),

     Taking note of his recommendation that the Security Council extend the
mandate of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP),

     Noting that the Government of Cyprus has agreed that in view of the
prevailing conditions in the island it is necessary to keep the force in Cyprus
beyond 31 December 1995,

     Reaffirming its earlier relevant resolutions on Cyprus, and in particular
resolutions 186 (1964) of 4 March 1964 and 1000 (1995) of 23 June 1995,

     Expressing its concern that there has been no progress towards a final
political solution,

     Noting that no progress has been made on extending the 1989 unmanning
agreement,

on 30 June 1996;

     2.   Calls upon the military authorities on both sides to ensure that no
incidents occur along the buffer zone and to extend their full cooperation to
UNFICYP;

strength of UNFICYP with a view to its possible restructuring, and to present
any new considerations he may have in this regard;

95-40994 (E)                                                                  /...

     4.   Welcomes the humanitarian review undertaken by UNFICYP with regard to
the living conditions of the Greek Cypriots and the Maronites living in the
northern part of the island and of Turkish Cypriots living in the southern part
of the island, supports UNFICYP’s recommendations contained in the Secretary-General’s report (S/1995/1020 and Add.1), and decides to keep the matter under
review;

     5.   Expresses concern about the continuing modernization and upgrading of
military forces in the Republic of Cyprus and the lack of progress towards a
significant reduction in the number of foreign troops in the Republic of Cyprus,
urges once again all concerned to commit themselves to such a reduction and to a
reduction of defence spending in the Republic of Cyprus to help restore
confidence between the parties and as a first step towards the withdrawal of
non-Cypriot forces as described in the set of ideas (S/24472, annex) and calls
upon the Secretary-General to promote efforts in this direction;

     6.   Expresses concern also about the failure by the military authorities
on both sides to take reciprocal measures to prohibit along the cease-fire lines
live ammunition or weapons other than those which are hand-held and to prohibit
also the firing of weapons within sight or hearing of the buffer zone, and calls
upon those authorities to enter into discussions with UNFICYP on this matter in
line with paragraph 3 of resolution 839 (1993) of 11 June 1993;

     7.   Regrets the failure to reach agreement on the extension of the 1989
unmanning agreement to cover all areas of the buffer zone where the two sides
are in close proximity to each other, and calls upon the military authorities on
both sides to cooperate urgently with UNFICYP to this end;

     8.   Welcomes the initiative of UNFICYP in organizing successful bicommunal
events, urges the leaders of both communities to promote tolerance, confidence
and reconciliation between the two communities as recommended in the relevant
reports of the Secretary-General, and calls upon them to promote further
bicommunal contacts and to remove obstacles to such contacts;

     9.   Welcomes the Secretary-General’s decision to continue contacts with
the two leaders, to make every effort to find common ground for the basis for a
resumption of direct talks;

     10. Reaffirms the importance it attaches to early progress being made on
the substance of the Cyprus question and on the implementation of the
confidence-building measures as called for in resolution 939 (1994) of
29 July 1994;

     11. Requests the Secretary-General to submit a report during the coming
mandate period on his mission of good offices, including a full assessment of
his efforts towards reaching a settlement of the situation in Cyprus;

     12. Also requests the Secretary-General to submit a report by 10 June 1996
on the implementation of the present resolution;

     13.   Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.

                               RESOLUTION 1034 (1995)

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 3612th meeting,
                                 on 21 December 1995

     The Security Council,

     Reaffirming all its earlier relevant resolutions on the situation in Bosnia
and Herzegovina, including its resolution 1019 (1995) of 9 November 1995 and
condemning the Bosnian Serb party’s failure, despite repeated calls that it
should do so, to comply with the demands contained therein,

     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General pursuant to
resolution 1019 (1995) on violations of international humanitarian law in the
areas of Srebrenica, Zepa, Banja Luka and Sanski Most of 27 November 1995
(S/1995/988),

     Gravely concerned at the information contained in the above-mentioned
report that there is overwhelming evidence of a consistent pattern of summary
executions, rape, mass expulsion, arbitrary detentions, forced labour and largescale disappearances,

     Reiterating its strong support for the work of the International Tribunal
established pursuant to its resolution 827 (1993) of 25 May 1993,

     Noting that the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and
Herzegovina and the Annexes thereto (collectively the Peace Agreement,
S/1995/999, annex) initialled at Dayton, Ohio, on 21 November 1995 provides that
no person who is serving a sentence imposed by the International Tribunal for
the former Yugoslavia, and no person who is under indictment by the Tribunal and
who has failed to comply with an order to appear before the Tribunal, may stand
as a candidate or hold any appointive, elective, or other public office in
Bosnia and Herzegovina,

     Condemning the failure of the Bosnian Serb party to comply with their
commitments in respect of giving access to displaced persons and to persons
detained or reported missing,

95-41384 (E)                                                                  /...

     Reiterating its concern expressed in the statement of its President of
7 December 1995 (S/PRST/1995/60),

     Deeply concerned by the plight of hundreds of thousands of refugees and
displaced persons as a result of hostilities in the former Yugoslavia,

     1.   Strongly condemns all violations of international humanitarian law and
of human rights in the territory of the former Yugoslavia and demands that all
concerned comply fully with their obligations in this regard and reiterates that
all those who commit violations of international humanitarian law will be held
individually responsible in respect of such acts;

showing a consistent pattern of summary executions, rape, mass expulsions,
arbitrary detentions, forced labour and large-scale disappearances;

     3.   Notes with the utmost concern the substantial evidence referred to in

large number of men in the area of Srebrenica, namely in Nova Kasaba-Konjevic
Polje (Kaldrumica), Kravice, Rasica Gai, Zabrde and two sites in Karakaj, and
possibly also in Bratunac and Potocari, have been summarily executed by Bosnian
Serb and paramilitary forces and condemns in the strongest terms the commission
of such acts;

Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in seeking access to displaced persons and to
persons detained or reported missing and calls on all parties to comply with
their commitments in respect of such access;

unimpeded access to representatives of the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees, the ICRC and other international agencies to persons displaced and to
persons detained or reported missing from Srebrenica, Zepa and the regions of
Banja Luka and Sanski Most who are within the areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina
under the control of Bosnian Serb forces and that the Bosnian Serb party permit
representatives of the ICRC (i) to visit and register any persons detained
against their will, whether civilians or members of the forces of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, and (ii) to have access to any site it may deem important;

     6.   Affirms that the violations of humanitarian law and human rights in
the areas of Srebrenica, Zepa, Banja Luka and Sanski Most from July to
October 1995 must be fully and properly investigated by the relevant United
Nations and other international organizations and institutions;

     7.   Takes note that the International Tribunal established pursuant to
resolution 827 (1993) of 25 May 1993 issued on 16 November 1995 indictments
against the Bosnian Serb leaders Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic for their
direct and individual responsibilities for the atrocities committed against the
Bosnian Muslim population of Srebrenica in July 1995;

                                                                               /...

unrestricted access to the areas in question, including for the purpose of the
investigation of the atrocities, to representatives of the relevant United
Nations and other international organizations and institutions, including the
Special Rapporteur of the Commission on Human Rights;

     9.   Underlines in particular the urgent necessity for all the parties to
enable the Prosecutor of the International Tribunal to gather effectively and
swiftly the evidence necessary for the Tribunal to perform its task;

     10. Stresses the obligations of all the parties to cooperate with and
provide unrestricted access to the relevant United Nations and other
international organizations and institutions so as to facilitate their
investigations and takes note of their commitment under the Peace Agreement in
this regard;

     11. Reiterates its demand that all parties, and in particular the Bosnian
Serb party, refrain from any action intended to destroy, alter, conceal or
damage any evidence of violations of international humanitarian law and that
they preserve such evidence;

     12. Reiterates further its demand that all States, in particular those in
the region of the former Yugoslavia, and all parties to the conflict in the
former Yugoslavia, comply fully and in good faith with the obligations contained
in paragraph 4 of resolution 827 (1993) to cooperate fully with the
International Tribunal and calls on them to create the conditions essential for
the Tribunal to perform the task for which it has been created, including the
establishment of offices of the Tribunal when the latter deems it necessary;

territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina should be immediately closed;

     14. Urges the parties to ensure full respect for the norms of
international humanitarian law and of human rights of the civilian population,
living in the areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina now under their control, which
under the Peace Agreement will be transferred to another party;

     15. Condemns the widespread looting and destruction of houses and other
property, in particular by HVO forces in the area of Mrkonjic Grad and Sipovo,
and demands that all sides immediately stop such action, investigate them and
make sure that those who violated the law be held individually responsible in
respect of such acts;

     16. Demands that all sides refrain from laying mines, in particular in
those areas now under their control, which under the Peace Agreement will be
transferred to another party;

     17. Urges Member States to continue to assist the efforts of the United
Nations, humanitarian agencies and non-governmental organizations under way in
the former Yugoslavia to alleviate the plight of hundreds of thousands of
refugees and displaced persons;

                                                                               /...
