                Security Council                                                 Distr.: General
                                                                                20 April 2011

                Resolution 1977 (2011)

                Adopted by the Security Council at its 6518th meeting, on
                20 April 2011

                     The Security Council,
                     Reaffirming its resolutions 1540 (2004) of 28 April 2004, 1673 (2006) of
                27 April 2006 and 1810 (2008) of 25 April 2008,
                     Reaffirming that the proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons,
                as well as their means of delivery, constitutes a threat to international peace and
                security,
                     Reaffirming the need for all Member States to comply fully with their
                obligations and fulfil their commitments in relation to arms control, disarmament
                and non-proliferation in all its aspects of all weapons of mass destruction and their
                means of delivery,
                     Reaffirming that prevention of proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological
                weapons should not hamper international cooperation in materials, equipment and
                technology for peaceful purposes while goals of peaceful utilization should not be
                misused for proliferation purposes,
                      Remaining gravely concerned by the threat of terrorism and the risk that non
                state actors may acquire, develop, traffic in or use nuclear, chemical, and biological
                weapons and their means of delivery,
                      Reaffirming its resolve to take appropriate and effective actions against any
                threat to international peace and security caused by the proliferation of nuclear,
                chemical and biological weapons and their means of delivery, in conformity with its
                primary responsibilities, as provided for in the United Nations Charter,
                      Reaffirming its decision that none of the obligations in resolution 1540 (2004)
                shall be interpreted so as to conflict with or alter the rights and obligations of State
                Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the Chemical
                Weapons Convention and the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention or alter the
                responsibilities of the International Atomic Energy Agency or the Organization for
                the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons,

S/RES/1977 (2011)

                     Noting that international cooperation between States, in accordance with
               international law, is required to counter the illicit trafficking by non-State actors in
               nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, their means of delivery and related
               materials,
                    Recognizing the need to enhance coordination of efforts at national, regional,
               subregional and international levels, as appropriate, in order to strengthen a global
               response to the serious challenge and threat to international peace and security
               posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of
               delivery,
                     Emphasizing the need for States to take all appropriate national measures in
               accordance with their national authorities and legislation, and consistent with
               international law, to strengthen export controls, to control access to intangible
               transfers of technology and to information that could be used for weapons of mass
               destruction and their means of delivery, to prevent proliferation financing and
               shipments, and to secure sensitive materials,
                     Endorsing the work already carried out by the Committee established pursuant
               to resolution 1540 (2004), hereafter the 1540 Committee, in accordance with its
               programmes of work, including the establishment of the working groups for
               facilitating implementation of the Programme of Work,
                    Recognizing States’ progress in implementing resolution 1540 (2004), while
               noting that States have taken fewer measures in some of its areas,
                     Endorsing also the valuable activities of the 1540 Committee with relevant
               international regional and subregional organizations,
                     Taking note of international efforts towards full implementation of resolution
               1540 (2004), including on preventing the financing of proliferation-related
               activities, and taking into consideration the guidance of the framework of the
               Financial Action Task Force (FATF),
                    Noting that not all States have presented to the 1540 Committee their national
               reports on implementation of resolution 1540 (2004),
                     Further noting that the full implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) by all
               States, including the adoption of national laws and measures to ensure
               implementation of these laws, is a long-term task that will require continuous efforts
               at national, regional and international levels,
                     Recognizing, in that regard, the importance of dialogue between the 1540
               Committee and Member States and stressing that direct contact is an effective means
               of such dialogue,
                     Recognizing that many States continue to require assistance in implementing
               resolution 1540 (2004), emphasizing the importance of providing States, in response
               to their requests, with effective assistance that meets their needs, and welcoming the
               coordinating and facilitating role of the 1540 Committee in this regard,
                     Stressing, in that regard, the need of enhanced assistance and collaboration
               among States, between the 1540 Committee and States, and between the 1540
               Committee and relevant international, regional and subregional organizations in
               assisting States to implement resolution 1540 (2004),

2                                                                                11-30679

                                                                                S/RES/1977 (2011)

                Recognizing the importance of progress towards achieving the goals and
           objectives of the 2010 Nuclear Security Summit as a contribution to the effective
           implementation of Security Council resolution 1540 (2004),
                 Calling on States to work together urgently to prevent and suppress acts of
           nuclear terrorism including through increased cooperation and full implementation
           of the relevant international conventions, and through appropriate measures to
           reinforce the existing legal framework with a view to ensure that those committing
           offences of nuclear terrorism are effectively held accountable,
                  Endorsing the 2009 comprehensive review of the status of implementation of
           resolution 1540 and taking note of the findings and recommendations contained in
           its final document,
                Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations:
                 1.    Reiterates its decisions in and the requirements of resolution 1540

           adjustments to the mandate, and will submit to the Security Council a report on the
           conclusions of those reviews, and decides that, accordingly, the first review should
           be held before December 2016;
                4.    Again decides that the 1540 Committee should submit an annual
           Programme of Work to the Security Council before the end of each May, and
           decides that next Programme of Work will be prepared before 31 May 2011;
                5.     Decides to continue to provide the 1540 Committee with the assistance
           of experts, and to this end:
                 (a) Requests the Secretary-General to establish, in consultation with the
           1540 Committee, a group of up to eight experts (“group of experts”), acting under
           the direction and purview of the Committee, composed of individuals with the
           appropriate experience and knowledge to provide the Committee with expertise, to
           assist the Committee in carrying out its mandate under resolutions 1540 (2004),

           requirements, broad geographic representation, working methods, modalities, and
           structure, including consideration of the feasibility of a coordination and leadership
           position of the group of experts, and to present these recommendations to the

               steps they have taken or intend to take to implement resolution 1540 (2004) to
               submit such a report to the Committee without delay;
                     7.   Again encourages all States that have submitted such reports to provide,
               when appropriate or upon the request of the 1540 Committee, additional information
               on their implementation of resolution 1540 (2004), including, voluntarily, on States’
               effective practices;
                    8.    Encourages all States to prepare on a voluntary basis national

               appropriate, mapping out their priorities and plans for implementing the key
               provisions of resolution 1540 (2004), and to submit those plans to the 1540
               Committee;
                     9.   Decides that the 1540 Committee shall continue to intensify its efforts to
               promote the full implementation by all States of resolution 1540 (2004), through its
               Programme of Work, which includes the compilation and general examination of
               information on the status of States’ implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) as

               of experience, lessons learned and effective practices, in the areas covered by
               resolution 1540 (2004), drawing in particular on information provided by States as
               well as examples of successful assistance, and to liaise on the availability of
               programmes which might facilitate the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004),
               while bearing in mind that customized assistance is useful for the effective
               implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) at national levels;
                     11. Encourages, in that regard, the 1540 Committee, with the support of

                                                                              7 June 2011

               Resolution 1983 (2011)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 6547th meeting, on
               7 June 2011

                    The Security Council,
                    Deeply concerned that in the 30 years since the beginning of the HIV
               epidemic, more than 60 million people have been infected, more than 25 million
               people have died and more than 16 million children have been orphaned by AIDS,
                     Recalling its meeting of 10 January 2000, on “The situation in Africa: the
               impact of AIDS on peace and security in Africa” and its subsequent meetings on
               “HIV/AIDS and international peacekeeping operations”, and reaffirming its
               commitment to the continuing and full implementation, in a complementary manner
               of all of its relevant resolutions, including SCR 1308 (2000), 1325 (2000),1820
               (2008), 1888 (2009), 1889 (2009), 1894 (2009), 1960 (2010) and all relevant
               statements of its President,
                    Reaffirming the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS of 2001
               (A/RES/S-26/2), and the Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS of 2006
               (A/RES/60/262) including its commitment towards the goal of universal access to
               prevention, treatment, care and support which will require renewed efforts at, local,
               national, regional and international levels,
                     Recalling the MDG Summit Outcome Document (A/RES/65/1) and the report
               of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations (A/65/19),
                    Taking note of the Secretary General’s report on the implementation of the
               Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS (2001) and the Political Declaration on
               HIV/AIDS (2006) (A/65/797),
                    Recognizing that HIV poses one of the most formidable challenges to the
               development, progress and stability of societies and requires an exceptional and
               comprehensive global response, and noting with satisfaction the unprecedented
               global response of Member States, public and private partnerships,
               non-governmental organizations and the important roles of civil society,
               communities, and persons living with and affected by HIV in shaping the response,
                   Emphasizing the important roles of the General Assembly and the Economic
               and Social Council in addressing HIV and AIDS, and the continuing need for

S/RES/1983 (2011)

               coordinated efforts of all relevant United Nations entities in line with their
               respective mandates, to assist, in the global efforts against the epidemic,
                     Commending the efforts by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS
               (UNAIDS) to coordinate and intensify the global, regional, national and local
               response to HIV and AIDS in all appropriate forums, and the pivotal role of the
               Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria in mobilizing and providing
               international assistance, including resources, to respond to HIV and AIDS,
                     Recognizing that the spread of HIV can have a uniquely devastating impact on
               all sectors and levels of society, and that in conflict and post-conflict situations,
               these impacts may be felt more profoundly,
                    Further recognizing that conditions of violence and instability in conflict and
               post-conflict situations can exacerbate the HIV epidemic, inter alia, through large
               movements of people, widespread uncertainty over conditions, conflict-related
               sexual violence, and reduced access to medical care,
                    Recognizing that women and girls are particularly affected by HIV,
                     Underlining the importance of concerted efforts towards ending conflictrelated sexual and gender-based violence, empowering women in an effort to reduce
               their risk of exposure to HIV, and curbing vertical transmission of HIV from mother
               to child in conflict and post-conflict situations,
                    Noting that the protection of civilians by peacekeeping operations, where
               mandated, can contribute to an integrated response to HIV and AIDS, inter alia,
               through the prevention of conflict-related sexual violence,
                     Underlining, the continuing negative impact of HIV on the health and fitness
               of UN missions personnel, and concerned that available statistics indicate that
               health-related issues, have become a leading cause of fatality in the field since 2000,
                      Welcoming the efforts to implement HIV prevention, treatment, care and
               support, including voluntary and confidential testing and counselling, programmes
               by many Member States for their uniformed personnel and by the UN for its civilian
               staff in preparation for deployment to UN missions,
                     Bearing in mind the Council’s primary responsibility for the maintenance of
               international peace and security,
                     1.    Underlines that urgent and coordinated international action continues to
               be required to curb the impact of the HIV epidemic in conflict and post-conflict
               situations;
                     2.    Notes in this context the need for effective and coordinated action at
               local, national, regional and international levels to combat the epidemic and to
               mitigate its impact and the need for a coherent UN response to assist Member States
               to address this issue;
                     3.    Notes that the disproportionate burden of HIV and AIDS on women is
               one of the persistent obstacles and challenges to gender equality and empowerment
               of women, and urges Member States, United Nations entities, international financial
               institutions and other relevant stakeholders, to support the development and
               strengthening of capacities of national health systems and civil society networks in

                                                                                S/RES/1983 (2011)

           order to provide sustainable assistance to women living with or affected by HIV in
           conflict and post-conflict situations;
                 4.   Recognizes that UN peacekeeping operations can be important
           contributors to an integrated response to HIV and AIDS, welcomes the incorporation
           of HIV awareness in mandated activities and outreach projects for vulnerable
           communities, and encourages further such actions;
                 5.    Stresses the importance of strong support by UN Mission civilian and
           military leadership for HIV and AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support, as a
           factor for reducing the stigma and discrimination associated with HIV and AIDS;
                 6.    Requests the Secretary-General to consider HIV-related needs of people
           living with, affected by, and vulnerable to HIV, including women and girls, in his
           activities pertinent to the prevention and resolution of conflict, the maintenance of
           international peace and security, the prevention and response to sexual violence
           related to conflict, and post-conflict peacebuilding;
                 7.   Encourages the incorporation, as appropriate, of HIV prevention,
           treatment, care, and support, including voluntary and confidential counselling and
           testing programmes in the implementation of mandated tasks of peacekeeping
           operations, including assistance to national institutions, to security sector reform
           (SSR) and to disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) processes; and
           the need to ensure the continuation of such prevention, treatment, care and support
           during and after transitions to other configurations of UN presence;
                8.    Underlines the need to intensify HIV prevention activities within UN
           missions; takes note of the “DPKO/DFS Policy Directive on the Role and Functions
           of HIV/AIDS Units in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations”, and requests the
           Secretary-General to ensure the implementation of HIV and AIDS awareness and
           prevention programmes for UN missions;
                9.   Requests the Secretary-General to continue and strengthen efforts to
           implement the policy of zero tolerance of sexual exploitation and abuse in UN
           missions;
                 10. Welcomes and encourages continued cooperation among Member States
           through their relevant national bodies, for the development and implementation of
           sustainable HIV and AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support, capacitybuilding, and programme and policy development for uniformed and civilian
           personnel to be deployed to UN missions;
               11. Invites the Secretary-General to provide further information to the
           Council as appropriate.

               Resolution 1986 (2011)

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 6554th meeting,
               on 13 June 2011

                    The Security Council,
                    Welcoming the reports of the Secretary-General of 31 May 2011 (S/2011/332)
               on the United Nations operation in Cyprus and of 4 March 2011 (S/2011/112) on his
               mission of good offices in Cyprus,
                    Noting that the Government of Cyprus is agreed that in view of the prevailing
               conditions on the island it is necessary to keep the United Nations Peacekeeping
               Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) beyond 15 June 2011,
                     Echoing the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the responsibility for finding
               a solution lies first and foremost with the Cypriots themselves, and reaffirming the
               primary role of the United Nations in assisting the parties to bring the Cyprus
               conflict and division of the island to a comprehensive and durable settlement,
                    Welcoming the progress made so far in the fully fledged negotiations, and the
               leaders’ joint statements including those of 23 May and 1 July 2008,
                     Expressing concern at the continued slow pace of progress, stressing that the
               status quo is unsustainable and strongly urging the leaders to increase the
               momentum in the negotiations, particularly on the core issues, to reach an enduring,
               comprehensive and just settlement based on a bicommunal, bizonal federation with
               political equality, as set out in the relevant Security Council resolutions,
                     Emphasizing the importance attached by the international community of all
               parties engaging fully, flexibly and constructively in the negotiations, echoing the
               Secretary-General’s view that a solution is well within reach, and looking forward to
               decisive progress in the near future, including leading up to the Secretary General’s
               meeting with the leaders in July 2011, building on the progress made to date,
                     Welcoming the efforts of the Secretary-General to stimulate progress during his
               meeting with the two leaders on 26 January 2011, his intention to meet with the two
               leaders in July 2011, and noting his intention to submit to the Security Council in
               July 2011 an updated assessment on the state of the process,
                    Noting the need to advance the consideration of and discussions on military
               confidence building measures, calling for renewed efforts to implement all

               remaining confidence building measures, and for agreement on and implementation
               of further steps to build trust between the communities,
                    Reaffirming the importance of continued crossings of the Green Line by
               Cypriots, and encouraging the opening by mutual agreement of other crossing
               points,
                    Convinced of the many important benefits for all Cypriots that would flow
               from a comprehensive and durable Cyprus settlement, urging the two sides and their
               leaders to foster positive public rhetoric, and encouraging them clearly to explain
               the benefits of the settlement, as well as the need for increased flexibility and
               compromise in order to secure it, to both communities well in advance of any
               eventual referenda,
                    Considering that undermining the United Nations credibility undermines the
               peace process itself,
                    Highlighting the supportive role the international community will continue to
               play in helping the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders to exploit fully the
               current opportunity,
                     Taking note of the assessment of the Secretary-General that the security
               situation on the island and along the Green Line remains stable, and urging all sides
               to avoid any action which could lead to an increase in tension, undermine the
               progress achieved so far, or damage the goodwill on the island,
                    Recalling the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the situation in the buffer
               zone would be improved if both sides accepted the 1989 aide memoire used by the
               United Nations,
                    Noting with regret that the sides are withholding access to the remaining
               minefields in the buffer zone, and that demining in Cyprus has ceased as a result,
               noting the continued danger posed by mines in Cyprus, and urging rapid agreement
               on facilitating the recommencement of demining operations and clearance of the
               remaining minefields,
                    Welcoming the progress and continuation of the important activities of the
               Committee on Missing Persons, and trusting that this process will promote
               reconciliation between the communities,
                     Agreeing that active participation of civil society groups is essential to the
               political process and can contribute to making any future settlement sustainable,
               welcoming all efforts to promote bicommunal contacts and events including, inter
               alia, on the part of all United Nations bodies on the island, and urging the two sides
               to promote the active engagement of civil society and the encouragement of
               cooperation between economic and commercial bodies and to remove all obstacles
               to such contacts,
                    Stressing the need for the Council to pursue a rigorous, strategic approach to
               peacekeeping deployments,
                    Welcoming the intention of the Secretary-General to keep all peacekeeping
               operations, including those of UNFICYP, under close review and noting the
               importance of contingency planning in relation to the settlement, including
               recommendations as appropriate for further adjustments to UNFICYP’s mandate,

2                                                                                11-37249

                                                                                S/RES/1986 (2011)

           force levels and concept of operations, taking into account developments on the
           ground and the views of the parties,
                 Welcoming also the continued efforts of Alexander Downer as the Secretary-General’s Special Advisor with a mandate to assist the parties in the conduct of
           fully-fledged negotiations aimed at reaching a comprehensive settlement, and the
           efforts of Lisa Buttenheim as the Secretary-General’s Special Representative,
                Echoing the Secretary-General’s gratitude to the Government of Cyprus and
           the Government of Greece for their voluntary contributions to the funding of
           UNFICYP, and his request for further voluntary contributions from other countries
           and organizations, and expressing appreciation to member states that contribute
           personnel to UNFICYP,
                Welcoming and encouraging efforts by the United Nations to sensitize
           peacekeeping personnel in the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS and other
           communicable diseases in all its peacekeeping operations,
                1.    Welcomes the progress made so far in the fully fledged negotiations, and
           the prospect of further progress in the near future towards a comprehensive and
           durable settlement that this has created;
                2.    Takes note of the report of the Secretary-General (S/2011/112);
                3.     Recalls Security Council resolution 1953 (2010), and calls upon the two
           leaders to:
                 (a) intensify the momentum of negotiations, engage in the process in a
           constructive and open manner, and work on reaching convergences on the remaining
           core issues in preparation for their meeting with the Secretary-General in July 2011;
                (b) improve the public atmosphere in which the negotiations are proceeding,
           including by focussing public messages on convergences and the way ahead, and
           delivering more constructive and harmonised messages; and
                (c)   increase the participation of civil society in the process as appropriate;
                 4.   Urges the implementation of confidence-building measures, and looks

           military confidence building measures and the opening of other crossing points;
                5.    Urges all parties to be more forthcoming in accommodating the
           Committee for Missing Persons exhumation requirements throughout the island
           including in military areas in the north;
                6.   Reaffirms all its relevant resolutions on Cyprus, in particular resolution
