Resolution 825 (1993)
of 11 May 1993

The Security Council,

Having considered with concern the letter dated 12 March 1993

Republic of Korea dated 12 March 1993 3 addressed to the President of
the Security Council concerning the intention of the Government of the
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to withdraw from the Treaty on
the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons 4 and the report of the
Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, 2

Recalling the statement made by the President of the Council on 8
April 1993 1 in which the members of the Council welcome all efforts
aimed at resolving this situation and, in particular, encourage the
Agency to continue its consultations with the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea for proper settlement of the nuclear verification issue
in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea,

Noting in that context the critical importance of the Treaty, and
emphasizing the integral role of Agency safeguards in the implementation of the Treaty and in ensuring the peaceful uses of nuclear energy,
and reaffirming the crucial contribution which progress in non-proliferation can make to the maintenance of international peace and
security,

Recalling the Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the
Korean Peninsula 5 by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and
the Republic of Korea, which includes establishment of a credible and
effective bilateral inspection regime and a pledge not to possess nuclear
reprocessing and uranium enrichment facilities,

Noting that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is party to the
Treaty and has concluded a full-scope safeguards agreement as required
by that Treaty,

Having also considered with regret the Agency's Board of Governors' findings contained in its resolution GOV/2645 of 1 April 1993 2
that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is in non-compliance
with its obligations under the safeguards agreement that it concluded
with the Agency, 2 and that the Agency is not able to verify that there
has been no diversion of nuclear materials required to be safeguarded
under the terms of the safeguards agreement on nuclear weapons and
other nuclear explosive devices between the Agency and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea,

Taking note of the statement made on 1 April 1993 7 by the Russian
Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
and the United States of America, the depositaries of the Treaty, which
questions whether the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea's stated
reasons for withdrawing from the Treaty constitute extraordinary events
relating to the subject-matter of the Treaty,

Taking note also of the letter of reply to the Director-General of the
Agency from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea dated 22 April
1993 which, inter alia, encourages and urges the Director-General to
hold consultations with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on
the implementation of the safeguards agreement, and noting also that
the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has expressed its willingness to seek a negotiated solution to this issue,

Welcoming recent signs of improved cooperation between the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Agency and the
prospect of contacts between the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea and other Member States,

1. Calls upon the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to
reconsider the announcement contained in the letter of 12 March 1993?
and thus to reaffirm its commitment to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons;‘

2. Also calls upon the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to
honour its non-proliferation obligations under the Treaty and comply
with its safeguards agreement with the Agency as specified by the
Agency's Board of Governors’ resolution GOV/2636 of 25 February
1993;

3. Requests the Director-General of the Agency to continue to
consult with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea with a view to
resolving the issues which are the subject of the Board of Governors’
findings and to report to the Security Council on his efforts in due time;

4. Urges all Member States to encourage the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea to respond positively to the present resolution, and
encourages them to facilitate a solution;

5. Decides to remain seized of the matter and to consider further
action if necessary.

Adopted at the 3212th meeting by 13 votes to none

RESOLUTION 827 (1993)

Adopted by the Security Council at its 3217th meeting, on
25 May 1993

The Security Council,

Reaffirming its resolution 713 (1991) of 25 September 1991 and all
subsequent relevant resolutions,

Having considered the report of the Secretary-General (S/25704 and Add.1)
pursuant to paragraph 2 of resolution 808 (1993),

Expressing once again its grave alarm at continuing reports of widespread
and flagrant violations of international humanitarian law occurring within the
territory of the former Yugoslavia, and especially in the Republic of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, including reports of mass killings, massive, organized and
systematic detention and rape of women, and the continuance of the practice of
“ethnic cleansing", including for the acquisition and the holding of territory,

Determining that this situation continues to constitute a threat to
international peace and security,

Determined to put an end to such crimes and to take effective measures to
bring to justice the persons who are responsible for them,

Convinced that in the particular circumstances of the former Yugoslavia the
establishment as an ad hoc measure by the Council of an international tribunal
and the prosecution of persons responsible for serious violations of
international humanitarian law would enable this aim to be achieved and would
contribute to the restoration and maintenance of peace,

Believing that the establishment of an international tribunal and the
prosecution of persons responsible for the above-mentioned violations of
international humanitarian law will contribute to ensuring that such violations
are halted and effectively redressed,

Noting in this regard the recommendation by the Co-Chairmen of the Steering

Committee of the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia for the
establishment of such a tribunal (S/25221),

Reaffirming in this regard its decision in resolution 808 (1993) that an
international tribunal shall be established for the prosecution of persons
responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law committed
in the territory of the former Yugoslavia since 1991,

Considering that, pending the appointment of the Prosecutor of the
International Tribunal, the Commission of Experts established pursuant to
resolution 780 (1992) should continue on an urgent basis the collection of
information relating to evidence of grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions and
other violations of international humanitarian law as proposed in its interim
report (S/25274),

Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,

1. Approves the report of the Secretary-General;

2. Decides hereby to establish an international tribunal for the sole
purpose of prosecuting persons responsible for serious violations of
international humanitarian law committed in the territory of the former
Yugoslavia between 1 January 1991 and a date to be determined by the Security
Council upon the restoration of peace and to this end to adopt the Statute of
the International Tribunal annexed to the above-mentioned report;

3. Requests the Secretary-General to submit to the judges of the
International Tribunal, upon their election, any suggestions received from
States for the rules of procedure and evidence called for in Article 15 of the
Statute of the International Tribunal;

4. Decides that all States shall cooperate fully with the International
Tribunal and its organs in accordance with the present resolution and the
Statute of the International Tribunal and that consequently all States shall
take any measures necessary under their domestic law to implement the provisions
of the present resolution and the Statute, including the obligation of States to
comply with requests for assistance or orders issued by a Trial Chamber under
Article 29 of the Statute;

5. Urges States and intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations
to contribute funds, equipment and services to the International Tribunal,
including the offer of expert personnel;

6. Decides that the determination of the seat of the International
Tribunal is subject to the conclusion of appropriate arrangements between the
United Nations and the Netherlands acceptable to the Council, and that the
International Tribunal may sit elsewhere when it considers it necessary for the
efficient exercise of its functions;

7. Decides also that the work of the International Tribunal shall be
carried out without prejudice to the right of the victims to seek, through
appropriate means, compensation for damages incurred as a result of violations
of international humanitarian law;

8. Requests the Secretary-General to implement urgently the present
resolution and in particular to make practical arrangements for the effective
functioning of the International Tribunal at the earliest time and to report
periodically to the Council;

9. Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.

Adopted by the Security Council at its 3238th meeting,
on 16 June 1993

The Security Council,

Having received a letter from the Permanent Representative of Haiti to the
President of the Council dated 7 June 1993 (S/25958) requesting that the Council
make universal and mandatory the trade embargo on Haiti recommended by the
Organization of American States,

Having also heard a report of the Secretary-General on 10 June 1993
regarding the crisis in Haiti,

Organization of American States,

Noting in particular resolution MRE/RES.5/93 adopted by the Foreign
Ministers of the Organization of American States in Managua, Nicaragua, on
6 June 1993,

Strongly supportive of the continuing leadership by the Secretary-General
of the United Nations and the Secretary-General of the Organization of American
States and of the efforts of the international community to reach a political

peace and security,

Deploring the fact that, despite the efforts of the international
community, the legitimate Government of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide has not
been reinstated,

of Haitians seeking refuge in neighbouring Member States and convinced that a

entities within their own territories holding such funds to freeze them to
ensure that they are not made available directly or indirectly to or for the
