                                  on 13 April 1995

     The Security Council,

decided, under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, that all States
shall, for the purpose of establishing peace and stability in Liberia,
immediately implement a general and complete embargo on all deliveries of
weapons and military equipment to Liberia until the Security Council decides
otherwise, and in which it decided also that the embargo shall not apply to
weapons and military equipment destined for the sole use of the peace-keeping
forces of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in Liberia,
subject to any review that may be required in conformity with the report of the
Secretary-General,

the full deployment of UNOMIL and preventing UNOMIL from fully carrying out its
mandate,

continue to be imported into Liberia, exacerbating the conflict,

     Welcoming the decision of ECOWAS to hold a summit of Heads of State in
May 1995,

     1.   Decides to extend the mandate of UNOMIL until 30 June 1995;

95-10807 (E)                                                                  /...

     5.   Expresses its appreciation to the Chairman of ECOWAS for his
initiative in organizing a regional summit on Liberia and to the Government of
Nigeria for agreeing to host it, and urges all parties to participate;

the discharge of their duties in the implementation of this resolution;

     17. Affirms that nothing in this resolution affects Iraq’s duty
scrupulously to adhere to all of its obligations concerning servicing and
repayment of its foreign debt, in accordance with the appropriate international
mechanisms;

     The Security Council,

     Recalling all its previous relevant resolutions on the conflicts in the
territory of the former Yugoslavia and reaffirming in this context its
resolution 982 (1995) of 31 March 1995 and in particular its paragraphs 6 and 7,

     Expressing its grave concern at the continued fighting in the Republic of
Bosnia and Herzegovina despite the agreements on a cease-fire and on the
complete cessation of hostilities concluded on 23 and 31 December 1994
(S/1995/8), and deploring the violations of these agreements and of the ban
imposed by its resolutions 781 (1992) of 9 October 1992 and 816 (1993) of
31 March 1993 by whomsoever committed,

     Stressing the unacceptability of all attempts to resolve the conflict in
the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina by military means,

     Noting once again the need for resumed negotiations aimed at an overall
peaceful settlement of the situation in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina
on the basis of the acceptance of the Contact Group peace plan as a startingpoint,

Force (UNPROFOR) personnel in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and at the
fatalities resulting therefrom, condemning in the strongest terms such
unacceptable acts directed at members of peace-keeping forces and determined to
obtain a strict respect of the status of United Nations personnel in the
Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina,

     Reaffirming its determination to ensure the security of UNPROFOR and its
freedom of movement for all its missions, and, to these ends, acting under

its personnel;

     2.   Recalls its invitation to the Secretary-General, in this context, to
submit proposals on any measures which could be taken to prevent attacks against
UNPROFOR and its personnel and allow it to perform effectively its mission, and
invites him to submit such proposals on an urgent basis;

     3.   Calls upon the Bosnian parties to agree to an extension of the
agreements on a cease-fire and complete cessation of hostilities concluded on
23 and 31 December 1994 beyond 30 April 1995 and looks to all parties and all
others concerned to cooperate fully with UNPROFOR in their implementation;

     4.   Urges all parties and others concerned to resume forthwith
negotiations towards an overall peaceful settlement on the basis of the
acceptance of the Contact Group peace plan as a starting-point;

     5.   Decides to remain seized of the matter.

continues to be good and stressing the importance of effective closure by the
authorities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) of the
international border between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and
Montenegro) and the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and of further efforts
by them to enhance the effectiveness of that closure, including by the
prosecution of persons suspected of violating measures to that end and by
sealing border crossing points as requested by the ICFY Mission,
