               Resolution 1459 (2003)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 4694th meeting, on
               28 January 2003
                    The Security Council,
                     Noting with deep concern the linkage between the illicit trade in rough
               diamonds from certain regions of the world and the fuelling of armed conflicts that
               affect international peace and security,
                     Recalling all relevant resolutions of the Security Council to control the illicit
               trade in rough diamonds, including 1173 (1998) of 12 June 1998, 1306 (2000) of

               5 November 2002 on the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme for Rough
               Diamonds,
                    Highlighting further the importance of conflict prevention through efforts to
               hinder the fuelling of conflicts by illicit trade in rough diamonds, which is the very
               nature of the Kimberley Process,
                     Noting in particular the importance of the major diamond producing, and
               trading, and processing countries participating in the Kimberley Process system of
               self-regulation,
                    Expressing its appreciation to the Governments of South Africa, Namibia,
               Belgium, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, Angola, Botswana, Canada
               and Switzerland for hosting meetings of the Kimberley Process,
                     Noting with appreciation the important contribution made by industry and civil
               society to the development of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme,
                     Further noting the decision made at the 5 November 2002 Interlaken meeting
               to launch the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme beginning on 1 January 2003,
                    Welcoming the progress achieved at the Interlaken meeting in developing the
               Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, including the adoption on 5 November
               2002 of the Interlaken Declaration on the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme
               for Rough Diamonds,

                     1.    Strongly supports the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, as well as
               the ongoing process to refine and implement the regime, adopted at the Interlaken
               Conference as a valuable contribution against trafficking in conflict diamonds and
               looks forward to its implementation and strongly encourages the participants to
               further resolve outstanding issues;
                    2.    Further welcomes the voluntary system of industry self-regulation, as

                     3.    Stresses that the widest possible participation in the Kimberley Process
               Certification Scheme is essential and should be encouraged and facilitated and urges
               all Member States to actively participate in the Scheme.

                    The Security Council,
                     Recalling all its relevant resolutions, in particular resolution 1427 (2002) of 29
               July 2002,
                    Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 13 January 2003

               Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) on 8 October 2001, which
               resulted in the death of the nine people on board, and deploring the fact that the
               perpetrators of that attack have still not been identified,
                     Stressing that the continued lack of progress on key issues of a comprehensive
               settlement of the conflict in Abkhazia, Georgia, is unacceptable,
                      Welcoming the important contributions made by UNOMIG and the Collective
               Peacekeeping Forces of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS
               peacekeeping force) in stabilizing the situation in the zone of conflict, and stressing
               its attachment to the close cooperation existing between them in the performance of
               their respective mandates,
                    1.   Welcomes the report of the Secretary-General of 13 January 2003
               (S/2003/39);
                     2.   Reaffirms the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty,
               independence and territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally

*0323134*

S/RES/1462 (2003)

                     3.   Commends and strongly supports the sustained efforts of the Secretary-General and his Special Representative, with the assistance of the Russian
               Federation in its capacity as facilitator as well as of the Group of Friends of the
               Secretary-General and of the OSCE, to promote the stabilization of the situation and
               the achievement of a comprehensive political settlement, which must include a
               settlement of the political status of Abkhazia within the State of Georgia;
                      4.    Reiterates, in particular, its support for the document on “Basic
               Principles for the Distribution of Competences between Tbilisi and Sukhumi” and

               negotiations, and recalls, once again, that the purpose of these documents is to
               facilitate meaningful negotiations between the parties, under the leadership of the
               United Nations, on the status of Abkhazia within the State of Georgia, and is not an
               attempt to impose or dictate any specific solution to the parties;
                     6.    Underlines further that the process of negotiation leading to a lasting
               political settlement acceptable to both sides will require concessions from both
               sides;
                    7.     Deeply regrets, in particular, the repeated refusal of the Abkhaz side to
               agree to a discussion on the substance of this document, again strongly urges the
               Abkhaz side to receive the document and its transmittal letter, urges both parties
               thereafter to give them full and open consideration, and to engage in constructive
               negotiations on their substance, and urges those having influence with the parties to
               promote this outcome;
                    8.    Welcomes in that regard the Secretary-General’s intention to invite senior
               representatives of the Group of Friends to an informal brainstorming session on the
               way ahead;

               reaffirmed by the parties to resolve the situation peacefully, recalls its strong

               situation in the Kodori Valley, calls on both sides, and in particular the Georgian
               side, to continue to fully implement this protocol, and recognizes the legitimate
               security concerns of the civilian populations in the area, calls on the political leaders
               in Tbilisi and Sukhumi to observe security agreements, and calls on both sides to

               population in, and in the vicinity of, the Kodori Valley;
                    12. Calls on the Georgian side to continue to improve security for joint

               to monitor the situation independently and regularly;
                    13. Strongly urges the parties to ensure the necessary revitalization of the
               peace process in all its major aspects, to resume their work in the Coordinating

Council and its relevant mechanisms, to build on the results of the Yalta meeting on
confidence-building measures in March 2001 (S/2001/242), to implement the
proposals agreed on that occasion in a purposeful and cooperative manner, and to
consider holding a fourth conference on confidence-building measures;
      14. Stresses the urgent need for progress on the question of the refugees and
internally displaced persons, calls on both sides to display a genuine commitment to
make returns the focus of special attention and to undertake this task in close
coordination with UNOMIG, reaffirms the unacceptability of the demographic
changes resulting from the conflict, reaffirms also the inalienable right of all
refugees and internally displaced persons affected by the conflict to return to their
homes in secure and dignified conditions, in accordance with international law and
as set out in the Quadripartite Agreement of 4 April 1994 (S/1994/397, annex II) and
the Yalta Declaration, recalls that the Abkhaz side bears a particular responsibility
to protect the returnees and to facilitate the return of the remaining displaced
population, and requests further measures to be undertaken inter alia by the United
Nations Development Programme, the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian
Affairs to create conditions conducive to the return of refugees and internally
displaced persons, including through quick-impact projects, to develop their skills
and to increase their self-reliance, with full respect for their inalienable right to
return to their homes in secure and dignified conditions;
      15. Urges once again the parties to implement the recommendations of the
joint assessment mission to the Gali district, carried out under the aegis of the
United Nations, welcomes the recent visit of a United Nations police assessment

particular on the Abkhaz side to improve law enforcement involving the local
population and to address the lack of instruction in their mother tongue for the
ethnic Georgian population;
      16. Calls on both parties publicly to dissociate themselves from militant
rhetoric and demonstrations of support for military options and for the activities of
illegal armed groups, and encourages the Georgian side in particular to continue its
efforts to put an end to the activities of illegal armed groups;
      17. Welcomes the additional safeguards for helicopter flights instituted in

               involving humanitarian workers and peacekeepers, and requests contributing
               countries to incorporate the Six Core Principles of the Inter-Agency Standing

               binding Demarcation Directions, to abide promptly by all its Orders, including those

               including by establishing a direct high-altitude flight route for UNMEE between
               Asmara and Addis Ababa, which would relieve the unnecessary additional cost to
               UNMEE;
                    5.   Demands that the parties allow UNMEE full freedom of movement and

                     8.   Urges the two parties to engage expeditiously in further discussions with
               the Special Representative of the Secretary-General so that they reach agreement on

               establishment by the parties of a mechanism for the resolution of problems in this
               regard;

     9.    Urges the two parties to begin to sensitize their populations about the
demarcation process and its implications, including the role of the United Nations in
support of this process;
      10. Calls on the parties to refrain from unilateral troop or population

      14. Calls again on the parties to increase their efforts to take measures that
will build confidence and contribute to the normalization of relations between them,
including in particular their political relations and those in the areas listed in
paragraph 14 of resolution 1398 (2002) of 15 March 2002;
      15. Expresses its concern at the prevailing drought and worsening
humanitarian situation in Ethiopia and Eritrea and the implications this could have
for the peace process and calls on Member States to continue to provide prompt and
generous support for humanitarian operations in Ethiopia and Eritrea;

                    “The Security Council,
                    “Decides to adopt the attached declaration on the item entitled ‘Proliferation of
               small arms and light weapons and mercenary activities: threat to peace and security
               in West Africa’.

S/RES/1467 (2003)

“ Annex
                     “The Security Council expresses its profound concern at the impact of the
               proliferation of small arms and light weapons, as well as mercenary activities, on
               peace and security in West Africa. These contribute to serious violations of human
               rights and international humanitarian law, which the Council condemns. The
               Council requests States of the subregion to ensure that relevant measures adopted at
               the national, regional and international levels to combat these problems are put into
               effect.
                     “The Security Council calls on the States of the subregion to strengthen the
               adopted measures and to consider other appropriate steps, taking into account the
               recommendations emanating from this workshop. The Council also emphasizes the
               need for the States of the subregion to strengthen their cooperation in order to
               identify individuals and entities that engage illegally in trafficking in small arms and
               light weapons and provide support for mercenary activities in West Africa.
                     “The Security Council acknowledges the need to involve national
               Commissions/national Committees and other relevant local structures (including
               civil society) more fully in the practical implementation of the moratorium on small
               arms and light weapons adopted by the Economic Community of West African
               States (ECOWAS) on 31 October 1998 and of the Programme of Action adopted on
               20 July 2001 by the United Nations Conference on the Illicit Trade in Small Arms
               and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects, held in New York.
                    “The Security Council calls on the States of West Africa to consider the
               following recommendations that might contribute to the more effective
               implementation of the ECOWAS Moratorium on Small Arms:
                     “(a) Broadening of the Moratorium to include an information exchange
               mechanism for all types of small arms procured by ECOWAS member States as well
               as for arms transfers by supplier countries;
                     “(b) Enhancement of transparency in armaments, including through the
               establishment of an ECOWAS register that would record national inventories of
               small arms and light weapons;
                     “(c) Strengthening national Commissions set up to oversee implementation of
               the Moratorium, in terms of staffing and equipment, and developing national plans
               of action;
                     “(d) Taking necessary measures to build the capacity of the ECOWAS
               secretariat;
                     “(e) Computerization of aircraft registration lists to ensure better monitoring
               of airspace, in accordance with the provisions of the Convention on International
               Civil Aviation, signed at Chicago on 7 December 1944;
                    “(f) Introduction of a standardized end-user certificate for imported weapons.
                    “The Security Council expresses concern at the serious violations of the arms
               embargoes in West Africa and calls on Member States to comply fully with the
               relevant resolutions of the Council.

      “The Security Council expresses its concern at links between mercenary
activities, illicit arms trafficking and the violation of arms embargoes that help to
foster and prolong conflicts in West Africa.
      “The Security Council emphasizes the need to make peoples and entities of the
subregion aware of the danger and consequences of the illicit trade in small arms
and light weapons and of mercenary activities.
      “The Security Council encourages all ECOWAS States, especially those most
affected by the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons, to submit, as did other
States, national reports on actions undertaken to implement the United Nations
programme of action for small arms and light weapons to the Secretary-General in
advance of the 2003 biennial review meeting.
     “The Security Council appeals to the donor community to assist States of the
subregion in implementing and strengthening measures relating to the proliferation
of small arms and light weapons and mercenary activities.
      “The Security Council calls on relevant parties to conflicts in West Africa to
recognize the importance of activities related to disarmament, demobilization and
reintegration in post-conflict situations, and of including such measures in the text
of negotiated agreements, as well as specific measures for the collection and
disposal of illicit and/or surplus small arms.
      “The Security Council calls on all States in the subregion to cease military
support for armed groups in neighbouring countries, and to take action to prevent
armed individuals and groups from using their territory to prepare and launch
attacks on neighbouring countries.
      “The Security Council calls on arms-producing and exporting countries that
have not yet done so to enact stringent laws, regulations and administrative
procedures in order to ensure, through their implementation, more effective control
over the transfer to West Africa of small arms by manufacturers, suppliers, brokers,
and shipping and transit agents, including a mechanism that would facilitate the
identification of illicit arms transfers, as well as careful scrutiny of end-user
certificates.
      “The Security Council reiterates its call to regional and subregional
organizations to develop policies, activities and advocacy for the benefit of waraffected children in their regions. In this regard, the Council welcomes the Accra
Declaration and Programme of Action on war-affected children and the subsequent
establishment of a Child Protection Unit at the ECOWAS secretariat.”

                     7.   Requests the Secretary-General to increase the number of personnel in
               MONUC’s human rights component to assist and enhance, in accordance with its

               violations of international humanitarian law and human rights perpetrated on the
               territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo since the beginning of the
               conflict in August 1998, and requests also the Secretary-General, in consultation
               with the High Commissioner for Human Rights, to make recommendations to the

cease military and financial support to all the parties engaged in armed conflict in

must be withdrawn from the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo;

concerned also at the statement of 14 March 2003 issued by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and Regional Cooperation of Rwanda, calls on the Government of Rwanda
not to return any forces to the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo,

undermine the progress achieved thus far in the peace process;
     13. Expresses its deep concern at the rising tensions between Rwanda and
Uganda and their proxies on the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo,
and stresses that the governments of these two countries must take steps to build
mutual confidence, must settle their concerns through peaceful means, and without
any interference in Congolese affairs, and must refrain from any action that could
undermine the peace process;
     14. Demands also that all the parties to the conflict in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, and in particular in Ituri, ensure the security of civilian
populations and grant to MONUC and to humanitarian organizations full and
unimpeded access to the populations in need;

the conflict provide information without delay on steps they have taken to halt their

obligations applicable to them, as well as its demands with regard to the protection
of children contained in its resolutions 1261, 1314, 1379 and 1460;
      16. Recalls its demand that full and unimpeded access be granted to MONUC
and the Third Party Verification Mechanism so that it could verify the
implementation of the Pretoria Agreement of 30 July 2002 and investigate the
allegations on the presence of Rwandan troops in the territory of the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, as well as allegations of support by the Government of the
Democratic Republic of the Congo to the armed groups in the east of the country,
reiterates that both would be unacceptable and would undermine the continuation of
the peace process, and stresses that any ongoing military activity in the east of the

                                                                                3
