               Security Council                                                 Distr.: General

                                                                                19 December 2000

               Resolution 1333 (2000)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 4251st meeting, on
               19 December 2000

                    The Security Council,
                    Reaffirming its previous resolutions, in particular resolution 1267 (1999) of 15
               October 1999 and the statements of its President on the situation in Afghanistan,
                     Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial
               integrity and national unity of Afghanistan, and its respect for Afghanistan’s cultural
               and historical heritage,
                    Recognizing the critical humanitarian needs of the Afghan people,
                     Supporting the efforts of the Personal Representative of the Secretary-General
               for Afghanistan to advance a peace process through political negotiations between
               the Afghan parties aimed at the establishment of a broad-based, multi-ethnic, and
               fully representative government, and calling for the warring factions to cooperate
               fully with those efforts to conclude a ceasefire and begin discussions leading to a
               political settlement, by moving forward promptly in the process of dialogue to
               which they have committed themselves,
                     Noting the December 2000 meeting of the Afghan Support Group which
               emphasized that the situation in Afghanistan is a complex one that requires a
               comprehensive, integrated approach to a peace process and issues of narcotics
               trafficking, terrorism, human rights, and international humanitarian and
               development aid,
                     Recalling the relevant international counter-terrorism conventions and in
               particular the obligations of parties to those conventions to extradite or prosecute
               terrorists,
                     Strongly condemning the continuing use of the areas of Afghanistan under the
               control of the Afghan faction known as Taliban, which also calls itself the Islamic
               Emirate of Afghanistan (hereinafter known as the Taliban), for the sheltering and
               training of terrorists and planning of terrorist acts, and reaffirming its conviction
               that the suppression of international terrorism is essential for the maintenance of
               international peace and security,
                    Noting the importance of the Taliban acting in accordance with the 1961
               Single Convention, the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, and the 1988

00-80662 (E)

S/RES/1333 (2000)

               Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances,
               and the commitments of the 1998 Twentieth Special Session of the General
               Assembly on Narcotic Drugs, including to work closely with the United Nations
               Drug Control Programme,
                     Noting that the Taliban benefits directly from the cultivation of illicit opium by
               imposing a tax on its production and indirectly benefits from the processing and
               trafficking of such opium, and recognizing that these substantial resources
               strengthen the Taliban’s capacity to harbour terrorists,
                     Deploring the fact that the Taliban continues to provide safehaven to Usama
               bin Laden and to allow him and others associated with him to operate a network of
               terrorist training camps from Taliban-controlled territory and to use Afghanistan as a
               base from which to sponsor international terrorist operations,
                     Noting the indictment of Usama bin Laden and his associates by the United
               States of America for, inter alia, the 7 August 1998 bombings of the United States
               embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and for conspiring to kill
               American nationals outside the United States, and noting also the request of the
               United States of America to the Taliban to surrender them for trial (S/1999/1021),
                    Reiterating its deep concern over the continuing violations of international
               humanitarian law and of human rights, particularly discrimination against women
               and girls, and over the significant rise in the illicit production of opium,
                    Stressing that the capture by the Taliban of the Consulate-General of the
               Islamic Republic of Iran and the murder of Iranian diplomats and a journalist in
               Mazar-e-Sharif constituted flagrant violations of established international law,
                    Determining that the failure of the Taliban authorities to respond to the
               demands in paragraph 13 of resolution 1214 (1998) and in paragraph 2 of resolution
               1267 (1999) constitutes a threat to international peace and security,
                    Stressing its determination to ensure respect for its resolutions,
                    Reaffirming the necessity for sanctions to contain adequate and effective
               exemptions to avoid adverse humanitarian consequences on the people of
               Afghanistan, and that they be structured in a way that will not impede, thwart or
               delay the work of international humanitarian assistance organizations or
               governmental relief agencies providing humanitarian assistance to the civilian
               population in the country,
                      Underlining the responsibility of the Taliban for the well-being of the
               population in the areas of Afghanistan under its control, and in this context calling
               on the Taliban to ensure the safe and unhindered access of relief personnel and aid
               to all those in need in the territory under their control,
                     Recalling the relevant principles contained in the Convention on the Safety of
               United Nations and Associated Personnel adopted by the General Assembly in its
               resolution 49/59 of 9 December 1994,
                    Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
                     1.    Demands that the Taliban comply with resolution 1267 (1999) and, in
               particular, cease the provision of sanctuary and training for international terrorists
               and their organizations, take appropriate effective measures to ensure that the

territory under its control is not used for terrorist installations and camps, or for the
preparation or organization of terrorist acts against other States or their citizens, and
cooperate with international efforts to bring indicted terrorists to justice;
     2.    Demands also that the Taliban comply without further delay with the
demand of the Security Council in paragraph 2 of resolution 1267 (1999) that
requires the Taliban to turn over Usama bin Laden to appropriate authorities in a
country where he has been indicted, or to appropriate authorities in a country where
he will be returned to such a country, or to appropriate authorities in a country
where he will be arrested and effectively brought to justice;
     3.   Demands further that the Taliban should act swiftly to close all camps
where terrorists are trained within the territory under its control, and calls for the
confirmation of such closures by the United Nations, inter alia, through information
made available to the United Nations by Member States in accordance with
paragraph 19 below and through such other means as are necessary to assure
compliance with this resolution;
    4.    Reminds all States of their obligation to implement strictly the measures

     (c) Withdraw any of their officials, agents, advisers, and military personnel
employed by contract or other arrangement present in Afghanistan to advise the

     6.    Decides that the measures imposed by paragraph 5 above shall not apply
to supplies of non-lethal military equipment intended solely for humanitarian or
protective use, and related technical assistance or training, as approved in advance
by the Committee, and affirms that the measures imposed by paragraph 5 above do
not apply to protective clothing, including flak jackets and military helmets,
exported to Afghanistan by United Nations personnel, representatives of the media,
and humanitarian workers for their personal use only;
     7.    Urges all States that maintain diplomatic relations with the Taliban to
reduce significantly the number and level of the staff at Taliban missions and posts
and restrict or control the movement within their territory of all such staff who
remain; in the case of Taliban missions to international organizations, the host State
may, as it deems necessary, consult the organization concerned on the measures
required to implement this paragraph;

                                                                                3

S/RES/1333 (2000)

               derived or generated from property owned or controlled directly or indirectly by
               Usama bin Laden and individuals and entities associated with him, and to ensure
               that neither they nor any other funds or financial resources are made available, by
               their nationals or by any persons within their territory, directly or indirectly for the
               benefit of Usama bin Laden, his associates or any entities owned or controlled,
               directly or indirectly, by Usama bin Laden or individuals and entities associated

               from, or is destined to land at, a place in the territory of Afghanistan designated by
               the Committee as being under Taliban control, unless the particular flight has been
               approved in advance by the Committee on the grounds of humanitarian need,
               including religious obligations such as the performance of the Hajj, or on the
               grounds that the flight promotes discussion of a peaceful resolution of the conflict in

               flights operated by, or on behalf of, organizations and governmental relief agencies
               on the list approved by the Committee, that the Committee shall keep the list under

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 4253rd meeting, on
               22 December 2000

                    The Security Council,
                    Recalling its resolutions 1270 (1999) of 22 October 1999, 1289 (2000) of

               1321 (2000) of 20 September 2000, the statement of its President of 3 November
               2000 (S/PRST/2000/31), and all other relevant resolutions and the statements of its
               President concerning the situation in Sierra Leone,
                    Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 15 December 2000
               (S/2000/1199),
                     1.  Expresses its continued concern at the continuing fragile situation in
               Sierra Leone and neighbouring States;
                     2.   Takes note of the ceasefire agreement signed in Abuja on 10 November
               2000 between the Government of Sierra Leone and the Revolutionary United Front
               (RUF) (S/2000/1091), expresses its concern at the failure of the RUF fully to meet
               their obligations under the agreement, and calls on them to give a more convincing
               demonstration of commitment to the ceasefire and the peace process;
                     3.    Recalls that the main objectives of the United Nations Mission in Sierra
               Leone (UNAMSIL), as set out in its resolution 1313 (2000) and confirmed in the
               concept of operations proposed by the Secretary-General in his report of 24 August
               2000 (S/2000/832), remain to assist the efforts of the Government of Sierra Leone to
               extend State authority, restore law and order and further stabilize the situation
               progressively throughout the entire country and to assist in the promotion of the
               political process, leading to a renewed disarmament, demobilization and
               reintegration programme where possible, and reiterates that, to that end, the
               structure, capability, resources and mandate of UNAMSIL require appropriate
               strengthening;
                     4.   Commends the continued efforts of the Secretary-General in that regard
               to seek further firm commitments of troops for UNAMSIL, strongly urges all States
               in a position to do so seriously to consider contributing peacekeeping forces for
               Sierra Leone, and expresses its appreciation to those States who have already made
               such offers;

                    The Security Council,
                    Recalling all its earlier relevant resolutions, including resolutions 779 (1992)

                    Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 29 December
               (S/2000/1251) on the United Nations Mission of Observers in Prevlaka (UNMOP),
                    Recalling also the letters to its President from the Chargé d’affaires a.i. of the
               Federal Republic of Yugoslavia of 22 December 2000 (S/2000/1235) and from the
               Permanent Representative of Croatia of 5 January 2001 (S/2001/13), concerning the
               disputed issue of Prevlaka,
                     Reaffirming once again its commitment to the independence, sovereignty and
               territorial integrity of the Republic of Croatia within its internationally recognized
               borders,
                    Noting once again that the Joint Declaration signed at Geneva on 30 September
               1992 by the Presidents of the Republic of Croatia and the Federal Republic of

                    Noting with satisfaction that the overall situation in the UNMOP area of

               military observers,
                     Noting with satisfaction that the opening of crossing points between Croatia
               and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the demilitarized zone continues to
               facilitate civilian and commercial traffic in both directions without security
               incidents and continues to represent a significant confidence-building measure in the
               normalization of relations between the two parties, and urging the parties to utilize

               August 1996 (S/1996/706, annex), which would end a long period during which no

                   Expressing its concern over the delay in putting in place a comprehensive
               demining programme by the parties,
                    Commending the role played by UNMOP, and noting also that the presence of
               the United Nations military observers continues to be essential to maintaining
               conditions that are conducive to a negotiated settlement of the disputed issue of
               Prevlaka,

               facilitating the freedom of movement of the civilian population, and requests the
               Secretary-General to report by 15 April 2001;
                     4.   Urges once again that parties abide by their mutual commitments and
               implement fully the Agreement on Normalization of Relations, and stresses in
               particular the urgent need for them to fulfil rapidly and in good faith their
               commitment to reach a negotiated resolution of the disputed issue of Prevlaka in
               accordance with article 4 of that Agreement;
                    5.   Requests the parties to continue to report at least bi-monthly to the
