     The Security Council,

     Recalling all its previous relevant resolutions concerning the conflicts in
the former Yugoslavia,

     Reaffirming its commitment to a negotiated political settlement of the

States there within their internationally recognized borders,

     Commending the efforts of the international community, including those of

     Praising the decision of the Governments of the Republic of Bosnia and

     Noting that compliance with the requests and orders of the International
Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia constitutes an essential aspect of
implementing the Peace Agreement,

     Recognizing the interests of all States in the implementation of the
suspension and subsequent termination of measures imposed by the Council, and in
particular the interests of the successor States to the State formerly known as
the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, with respect to the disposition of
assets affected by the fact that that State has ceased to exist, and the
desirability of accelerating the process now under way under the auspices of the
International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia (ICFY) to reach a consensual
agreement among the successor States as to the disposition of such assets,

     Determining that the situation in the region continues to constitute a
threat to international peace and security,

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

     1.   Decides that the measures imposed by or reaffirmed in resolutions
757 (1992), 787 (1992), 820 (1993), 942 (1994), 943 (1994), 988 (1995),
992 (1995), 1003 (1995) and 1015 (1995) are suspended indefinitely with
immediate effect subject to the provisions of paragraphs 2 to 5 below, and
provided that if the Secretary-General reports to the Council that the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia has failed formally to sign the Peace Agreement on the
date announced by the Contact Group for such purpose, and that the other parties
thereto have expressed their readiness so to sign, the measures described above
shall be automatically reimposed from the fifth day following the date of such
report;

     2.   Decides also that the suspension referred to in paragraph 1 above
shall not apply to the measures imposed on the Bosnian Serb party until the day
after the commander of the international force to be deployed in accordance with
the Peace Agreement, on the basis of a report transmitted through the
appropriate political authorities, informs the Council via the Secretary-General
that all Bosnian Serb forces have withdrawn behind the zones of separation
established in the Peace Agreement; and urges all parties concerned to take all
necessary measures to assist in locating the two French pilots mission in Bosnia
and Herzegovina, and to ensure their immediate and safe return;

     3.   Further decides that if at any time, with regard to a matter within
the scope of their respective mandates and after joint consultation if
appropriate, either the High Representative described in the Peace Agreement, or
the commander of the international force to be deployed in accordance with the
Peace Agreement, on the basis of a report transmitted through the appropriate
political authorities, informs the Council via the Secretary-General that the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia or the Bosnian Serb authorities are failing
significantly to meet their obligations under the Peace Agreement, the
suspension referred to in paragraph 1 above shall terminate on the fifth day
following the Council's receipt of such a report, unless the Council decides
otherwise taking into consideration the nature of the non-compliance;

     4.   Further decides that it will terminate the measures described in
paragraph 1 above on the tenth day following the occurrence of the first free

                                                                              /...

and fair elections provided for in annex 3 of the Peace Agreement, provided that
the Bosnian Serb forces have withdrawn from, and have continued to respect, the
zones of separation as provided in the Peace Agreement;

     5.   Further decides that so long as the measures referred to in
paragraph 1 above remain suspended, or are terminated by a subsequent Council
decision in accordance with paragraph 4 above, all funds and assets previously
frozen or impounded pursuant to resolutions 757 (1992) and 820 (1993) may be
released by States in accordance with law, provided that any such funds and
assets that are subject to any claims, liens, judgements, or encumbrances, or
which are the funds or assets of any person, partnership, corporation, or other
entity found or deemed insolvent under law or the accounting principles
prevailing in such State, shall remain frozen or impounded until released in
accordance with applicable law, and decides further that obligations of States
related to freezing or impounding funds and assets contained in such resolutions
shall be suspended pursuant to paragraph 1 above with respect to all funds and
assets not currently frozen or impounded until the measures concerned are
terminated by a subsequent Council decision;

     6.   Further decides that the suspension or termination of obligations
pursuant to this resolution is without prejudice to claims of successor States
to the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia with respect to funds and
assets; stresses the need for the successor States to reach agreement on the
distribution of funds and assets and the allocation of liabilities of the former
Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia; encourages all States to make
provision under their national law for addressing competing claims of States, as
well as claims of private parties affecting funds and assets; and further
encourages States to take appropriate measures to facilitate the expeditious
collection of any funds and assets by the appropriate parties and the resolution
of claims related thereto;

     7.   Further decides that all States shall continue to take the necessary
measures to ensure that there shall be no claim in connection with the
performance of any contract or other transaction where such performance was
affected by the measures imposed by the resolutions referred to in paragraph 1
above and related resolutions;

     8.   Requests the Committee established pursuant to resolution 724 (1991)
to review and to amend its guidelines in the light of the provisions of this
resolution;

     9.   Pays tribute to the neighbouring States, the ICFY mission, the
European Union/Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Sanctions
Coordinator, the Sanctions Communications Centre and the Sanctions Assistance
Missions, the Western European Union operation on the Danube and the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization/Western European Union Sharp Guard operation in the
Adriatic Sea for their significant contribution to the achievement of a
negotiated peace;

     10.   Decides to remain seized of the matter.

                                 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,

     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;

any new considerations he may have in this regard;

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

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

                               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;

     2.   Condemns in particular in the strongest possible terms the violations
of international humanitarian law and of human rights by Bosnian Serb and
paramilitary forces in the areas of Srebrenica, Zepa, Banja Luka and Sanski Most

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
the report of the Secretary-General of 27 November 1995 that an unknown but
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;

     4.   Reiterates its strong support for the efforts of the International
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;

     5.   Reaffirms its demand that the Bosnian Serb party give immediate and
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;

                                                                               /...

     8.   Reaffirms its demand that the Bosnian Serb party give immediate and
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;

     13. Reiterates its demand that all detention camps throughout the
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;

                                                                               /...
