     Taking note with grave concern of the letter of 29 October 1997 from the

(S/1997/829) conveying the unacceptable decision of the Government of Iraq to
seek to impose conditions on its cooperation with the Special Commission, of the
letter of 2 November 1997 from the Permanent Representative of Iraq to the
United Nations to the Executive Chairman of the Special Commission (S/1997/837,
annex) which reiterated the unacceptable demand that the reconnaissance aircraft
operating on behalf of the Special Commission be withdrawn from use and which
implicitly threatened the safety of such aircraft, and of the letter of
6 November 1997 from the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iraq to the President of
the Security Council (S/1997/855) admitting that Iraq has moved dual-capable
equipment which is subject to monitoring by the Special Commission,

     Also taking note with grave concern of the letters of 30 October 1997
(S/1997/830) and 2 November 1997 (S/1997/836) from the Executive Chairman of the
Special Commission to the President of the Security Council advising that the

the Special Commission, and that monitoring cameras appear to have been tampered

resolutions,

     Deeply concerned at the report of the high-level mission of the Secretary-General on the results of its meetings with the highest levels of the Government
of Iraq,

     Recalling that its resolution 1115 (1997) expressed its firm intention,
unless the Special Commission advised the Council that Iraq is in substantial
compliance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of that resolution, to impose additional
measures on those categories of Iraqi officials responsible for the
non-compliance,

     Recalling also that its resolution 1134 (1997) reaffirmed its firm
intention, if inter alia the Special Commission reports that Iraq is not in
compliance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of resolution 1115 (1997), to adopt measures
which would oblige States to refuse the entry into or transit through their
territories of all Iraqi officials and members of the Iraqi armed forces who are
responsible for or participate in instances of non-compliance with paragraphs 2
and 3 of resolution 1115 (1997),

     Recalling further the Statement of its President of 29 October 1997
(S/PRST/1997/49) in which the Council condemned the decision of the Government
of Iraq to try to dictate the terms of its compliance with its obligation to
cooperate with the Special Commission, and warned of the serious consequences of
Iraq's failure to comply immediately and fully and without conditions or
restrictions with its obligations under the relevant resolutions,

     Reiterating the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty,
territorial integrity and political independence of Kuwait and Iraq,

     Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter,

     1.   Condemns the continued violations by Iraq of its obligations under the
relevant resolutions to cooperate fully and unconditionally with the Special
Commission in the fulfilment of its mandate, including its unacceptable decision
of 29 October 1997 to seek to impose conditions on cooperation with the Special
Commission, its refusal on 30 October 1997 and 2 November 1997 to allow entry to
Iraq to two Special Commission officials on the grounds of their nationality,

that States shall without delay prevent the entry into or transit through their
territories of all Iraqi officials and members of the Iraqi armed forces who
were responsible for or participated in the instances of non-compliance detailed
in paragraph 1 above, provided that the entry of a person into a particular
State on a specified date may be authorized by the Committee established by
resolution 661 (1990) of 6 August 1990, and provided that nothing in this
paragraph shall oblige a State to refuse entry into its own territory to its own
nationals, or to persons carrying out bona fide diplomatic assignments, or
missions approved by the Committee established by resolution 661 (1990);

     5.   Decides also, in accordance with paragraph 7 of resolution

immediate, unconditional and unrestricted access to any and all areas,
facilities, equipment, records and means of transportation which they wish to
inspect in accordance with the mandate of the Special Commission, as well as to
officials and other persons under the authority of the Iraqi Government whom the

     8.   Expresses the firm intention to take further measures as may be
required for the implementation of this resolution;

                                                                            /...

     The Security Council,

particular resolutions 186 (1964) of 4 March 1964, 367 (1975) of 12 March 1975,
939 (1994) of 29 July 1994 and 1117 (1997) of 27 June 1997,

     Noting with concern the tensions along the ceasefire lines remain high,
despite the further decrease in the number of serious incidents in the last six
months, and that restrictions to UNFICYP's freedom of movement have increased,

     Reiterating its concern that negotiations on a comprehensive political

discussions on security issues begun on 26 September 1997;

action, particularly in the vicinity of the buffer zone, which would exacerbate
tensions;

     6.   Reiterates its grave concern at the continuing excessive and
increasing levels of military forces and armaments in the Republic of Cyprus and
the rate at which they are being expanded, upgraded and modernized, including by
the introduction of sophisticated weaponry, and the lack of progress towards any
significant reduction in the number of foreign troops in the Republic of Cyprus,
which threaten to raise tensions both on the island and in the region and
complicate efforts to negotiate an overall political settlement;

     7.   Calls upon all concerned to commit themselves to a reduction in
defence spending and a reduction in the number of foreign troops 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), stresses the importance of eventual demilitarization of the

settlement, and encourages the Secretary-General to continue to promote efforts

settlement;

this process of negotiations and to cooperate actively and constructively with
the Secretary-General and his Special Adviser, and urges all States to lend
their full support to these efforts;

     11. Further calls in this context upon all parties concerned to create a
climate for reconciliation and genuine mutual confidence on both sides, and to
avoid any actions which might increase tension, including through further
expansion of military forces and armaments;

     12. Reaffirms its position that a Cyprus settlement must be based on a
State of Cyprus with a single sovereignty and international personality and a
single citizenship, with its independence and territorial integrity safeguarded,

                                                                            /...

or any form of partition or secession;

     14. Welcomes also the agreement reached between the leaders of the two
communities on 31 July 1997 on the issue of missing persons in Cyprus;

     15. Welcomes further the efforts of the United Nations and others
concerned to promote the holding of bi-communal events so as to build
cooperation, trust and mutual respect between the two communities, commends the
increase in such bi-communal activity in the last six months, acknowledges the
recent cooperation from all concerned on both sides to that end, and strongly
encourages them to take further steps to facilitate such bi-communal events and
to ensure that they take place in conditions of safety and security;

     16. Recognizes that the decision of the European Union concerning the
opening of accession negotiations with Cyprus is an important development;
