     Reaffirming that the goal of the international community remains the
restoration of democracy in Haiti and the prompt return of the legitimately
elected President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, under the framework of the Governors
Island Agreement,

     Stressing in this context the importance of a proper and secure environment
for all legislative action agreed to in the Governors Island Agreement and the
New York Pact, as well as preparations for free and fair legislative elections
in Haiti, as called for in the constitution, in the framework of the full
restoration of democracy in Haiti,

     Concerned at the continued failure of the military authorities in Haiti,
including the police, to comply with their obligations under the Governors
Island Agreement, and at the violations of the related New York Pact committed
by political organizations party thereto in relation to the disputed elections
of 18 January 1993,

     Strongly condemning the numerous instances of extra-judicial killings,
arbitrary arrests, illegal detentions, abductions, rape and enforced
disappearances, the continued denial of freedom of expression, and the impunity
with which armed civilians have been able to operate and continue operating,

                                   on 17 May 1994

     The Security Council,

     Reaffirming all its previous resolutions on the situation in Rwanda, in
particular its resolution 872 (1993) of 5 October 1993 by which it established
the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR), its resolution
909 (1994) of 5 April 1994 which extended the mandate of UNAMIR until
29 July 1994, and its resolution 912 (1994) of 21 April 1994 by which it
adjusted the mandate of UNAMIR,

     Recalling the statements made by the President of the Council on
7 April 1994 (S/PRST/1994/16) and 30 April 1994 (S/PRST/1994/21),

     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General dated 13 May 1994
(S/1994/565),

     Reaffirming its resolution 868 (1993) of 29 September 1993 on the security
of United Nations operations,

     Strongly condemning the ongoing violence in Rwanda and particularly
condemning the very numerous killings of civilians which have taken place in
Rwanda and the impunity with which armed individuals have been able to operate
and continue operating therein,

     Stressing the importance of the Arusha Peace Agreement to the peaceful
resolution of the conflict in Rwanda and the necessity for all parties to
recommit themselves to its full implementation,

     Commending the efforts of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and its
organs, as well as the efforts of the Tanzanian Facilitator, in providing
diplomatic, political, and humanitarian support for the implementation of the
relevant resolutions of the Council,

     Deeply concerned that the situation in Rwanda, which has resulted in the
death of many thousands of innocent civilians, including women and children, the

94-21836 (E)                                                                   /...

internal displacement of a significant percentage of the Rwandan population, and
the massive exodus of refugees to neighbouring countries, constitutes a
humanitarian crisis of enormous proportions,

     Expressing once again its alarm at continuing reports of systematic,
widespread and flagrant violations of international humanitarian law in Rwanda,
as well as other violations of the rights to life and property,

     Recalling in this context that the killing of members of an ethnic group
with the intention of destroying such a group, in whole or in part, constitutes
a crime punishable under international law,

     Strongly urging all parties to cease forthwith any incitement, especially
through the mass media, to violence or ethnic hatred,

     Recalling also its request to the Secretary-General to collect information
on the responsibility for the tragic incident that resulted in the death of the
Presidents of Rwanda and Burundi,

     Recalling further that it had requested the Secretary-General to make
proposals for the investigation of reports of serious violations of
international humanitarian law during the conflict,

     Underlining the urgent need for coordinated international action to
alleviate the suffering of the Rwandan people and to help restore peace in
Rwanda, and in this connection welcoming cooperation between the United Nations
and the OAU as well as with countries of the region, especially the facilitator
of the Arusha peace process,

     Desiring in this context to expand the mandate of UNAMIR for humanitarian
purposes, and stressing the importance it attaches to the support and
cooperation of the parties for the successful implementation of all aspects of
that mandate,

     Reaffirming its commitment to the unity and territorial integrity of
Rwanda,

     Recognizing that the people of Rwanda bear ultimate responsibility for
national reconciliation and reconstruction of their country,

     Deeply disturbed by the magnitude of the human suffering caused by the
conflict and concerned that the continuation of the situation in Rwanda
constitutes a threat to peace and security in the region,

     1.   Demands that all parties to the conflict immediately cease
hostilities, agree to a cease-fire, and bring an end to the mindless violence
and carnage engulfing Rwanda;

     2.   Welcomes the report of the Secretary-General dated 13 May 1994
(S/1994/565);

     The Security Council,

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 3390th meeting,
                                   on 15 June 1994

     The Security Council,

     Taking note of the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations
operation in Cyprus of 7 June 1994 (S/1994/680 and Add.1),

     Taking note also of the recommendation by the Secretary-General that the
Security Council extend the stationing of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force
in Cyprus (UNFICYP) for a further period of six and one half months,

     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 15 June 1994,

     Expressing concern that during the period reviewed in the Secretary-General’s report, UNFICYP patrols continued to encounter interference in or
around the buffer zone, that cease-fire violations continued and that no
progress was made on an unmanning agreement,

     Concerned also that there has been no progress towards a final political
solution, no significant reduction in the number of foreign troops in the
Republic of Cyprus and no reduction of defence spending in the Republic of
Cyprus,

     Recalling its resolution 831 (1993) of 27 May 1993, and in particular its
provisions on the financing of UNFICYP,

     Recalling also its resolution 889 (1993) of 15 December 1993,

     Reaffirming the provisions of resolution 186 (1964) of 4 March 1964 and
other relevant resolutions,

     Noting that it is continuing its consideration of the Secretary-General’s
report on his mission of good offices in Cyprus of 30 May 1994 (S/1994/629) and
that a further communication is awaited on the subject,

94-25111 (E)    150694                                                         /...

Page 2

     1.   Extends the stationing in Cyprus of UNFICYP for a further period
ending on 31 December 1994;

     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;

     3.   Requests the Secretary-General to keep under review the structure and
strength of the force with a view to possible restructuring of it;

     4.   Urges all concerned to commit themselves to a significant reduction in
the number of foreign troops in the Republic of Cyprus and 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
set out in the Set of Ideas;

     5.   Calls upon once again the military authorities on both sides, in line
with paragraph 3 of resolution 839 (1993) of 11 June 1993, to begin discussions
with UNFICYP without further delay with a view to entering into mutual
commitments 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;

     6.   Calls also upon the military authorities on both sides to cooperate
with UNFICYP in extending the 1989 unmanning agreement to cover all areas of the
buffer zone where the two sides are in close proximity to each other;

     7.   Urges also the leaders of both communities to promote tolerance and
reconciliation between the two communities as recommended in paragraph 7 of
resolution 889 (1993) of 15 December 1993;

     8.   Stresses the urgent need for the implementation of the confidencebuilding measures referred to in the report of the Secretary-General dated
1 July 1993 (S/26026);

     9.   Stresses also that it will conduct a thorough and comprehensive review
of the situation, including the role of the United Nations in Cyprus and the
progress achieved towards a political settlement, in the context of its
consideration of the Secretary-General’s report of 30 May 1994 and the further
communication, and in particular a re-evaluation based upon the options proposed
by the Secretary-General;

     10. Requests the Secretary-General to submit a report on the
implementation of the present resolution by 15 December 1994.

                                     -----
