containing any recommendation for an expanded United Nations presence in Angola
based on his assessment of the circumstances that warrant that, and welcomes the
contingency planning done in this regard by the Secretary-General;

     6.   Deplores the continuation of military hostilities throughout Angola
contrary to resolutions 922 (1994), 932 (1994), and 945 (1994) and reiterates
its demand that both parties cease immediately all military operations;

     7.   Further deplores the deterioration in the humanitarian situation;
condemns all acts, including the laying of landmines, that imperil or inhibit
humanitarian relief efforts; and demands that both parties grant security
clearances and guarantees for relief deliveries to all locations and refrain
from any action which could jeopardize the safety of relief personnel or disrupt
the distribution of humanitarian assistance to the Angolan people;

     8.   Reiterates in this context its demand for the immediate release by the
responsible parties of the humanitarian relief workers who disappeared on
27 August 1994 and its call for the complete cooperation of the parties,
especially UNITA, with the United Nations investigation into their
disappearance;

     9.   Commends those States, United Nations agencies and non-governmental
organizations which have already contributed to the relief efforts, and appeals
to all States, United Nations agencies and non-governmental organizations

                                                                              /...

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 3447th meeting,
                                 on 4 November 1994

     The Security Council,

     Recalling its resolution 733 (1992) of 23 January 1992 and all other
relevant resolutions,

     Noting with appreciation the work of the Security Council’s mission in
transmitting directly to Somalia’s political parties the views of the Council on
the situation in Somalia and on the future of the United Nations in that
country,

     Having considered the reports of the Secretary-General dated
17 September 1994 (S/1994/1068) and 14 October 1994 (S/1994/1166), and the oral
report of the Security Council’s mission to Somalia given on 31 October 1994,

     Paying tribute to the thousands of personnel of the United Nations
Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM), and to the Unified Task Force (UNITAF) as well as
humanitarian relief personnel who have served in Somalia, and honouring, in
particular, those who have sacrificed their lives in this service,

     Noting that hundreds of thousands of human lives have been rescued from
famine in Somalia through the efforts of the United Nations and the
international community,

     Commending the efforts of the special representatives of the Secretary-General to bring Somali factions together in national reconciliation,

     Reaffirming that the people of Somalia bear the ultimate responsibility for
achieving national reconciliation and bringing peace to Somalia,

     Convinced that only a genuinely inclusive approach to political
reconciliation would provide for a lasting political settlement and re-emergence
of a civil society in Somalia,

94-43195 (E)                                                                   /...

S/RES/954 (1994)
Page 2

     Recalling that the date already foreseen for termination of the current
United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM II) is the end of March 1995,

     Recognizing that the lack of progress in the Somali peace process and in
national reconciliation, in particular the lack of sufficient cooperation from
the Somali parties over security issues, has fundamentally undermined the United
Nations objectives in Somalia and, in these circumstances, continuation of
UNOSOM II beyond March 1995 cannot be justified,

     Recognizing further that termination of the mandate of UNOSOM II by the end
of March 1995 implies a secure and orderly phasing out of its military component
in advance of that date,

     Noting the assurances of cooperation and non-interference with such
withdrawal received from all Somali parties during the Council’s mission to
Somalia,

     Re-emphasizing the importance the Council attaches to the safety and
security of United Nations and other personnel engaged in humanitarian relief
and peace-keeping in Somalia,

     Underlining particularly, in this context, the overriding need for all
possible measures and precautions to be taken to ensure that UNOSOM II does not
suffer any casualties in the process of withdrawal,

     Emphasizing its willingness to encourage the Secretary-General to sustain a
facilitating or mediating political role for Somalia beyond March 1995 if that
is what the Somalis want and if the Somali parties are willing to cooperate with
the United Nations,

     Concerned that the United Nations should continue to work with regional
organizations, in particular the Organization of African Unity (OAU), the League
of Arab States, and the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), and with
the Governments of neighbouring countries to promote reconciliation in Somalia
and the re-emergence of a civil society there,

     Recognizing also the impact that the situation in Somalia has had on
neighbouring countries including, in particular, flows of refugees,

     Noting also that the United Nations will do its best to sustain
humanitarian activities in Somalia and to encourage non-governmental
organizations to do likewise, but that their ability to do so will depend almost
entirely on the degree of cooperation and security offered by Somali parties,

     Confident of the willingness of the United Nations to remain ready to
provide through its various agencies rehabilitation and reconstruction
assistance, including assistance to the police and judiciary to the extent that
the situation in Somalia develops in such a way as to make that practicable,

     Noting further the interest of humanitarian agencies and non-governmental
organizations in cooperating with the United Nations after the withdrawal of
UNOSOM II in transitional arrangements for mutual assistance,

                                                                               /...

     Determining that the situation in Somalia continues to threaten peace and
security, and having regard to the exceptional circumstances including, in
particular, the absence of a government in Somalia, acting under Chapter VII of
the Charter of the United Nations,

     1.   Decides to extend the mandate of UNOSOM II for a final period until
31 March 1995;

     2.   Affirms that the primary purpose of UNOSOM II until its termination is
to facilitate political reconciliation in Somalia;

     3.   Welcomes the intention of the Secretary-General, expressed in
paragraph 23 of his report dated 14 October 1994, to continue throughout the
period of the mandate of UNOSOM II, and even afterwards, the efforts of his
special representative to help the Somali parties achieve national
reconciliation;

     4.   Urges all Somali factions to negotiate as soon as possible an
effective cease-fire and the formation of a transitional government of national
unity;

     5.   Decides that every effort should be made to withdraw all UNOSOM II
military forces and assets from Somalia in a secure and orderly manner as soon
as possible, as described in the Secretary-General’s report dated
14 October 1994, before the expiry date of the current mandate of UNOSOM II and
without compromising on the paramount need of ensuring the safety of UNOSOM II
personnel;

     6.   Authorizes UNOSOM II military forces to take those actions necessary
to protect the UNOSOM II mission and the withdrawal of UNOSOM II personnel and
assets, and, to the extent that the Force Commander deems it practicable and
consistent, in the context of withdrawal, to protect personnel of relief
organizations;

     7.   Emphasizes the responsibility of the Somali parties for the security
and safety of UNOSOM II and other personnel engaged in humanitarian activities
and in this context strongly demands that all parties in Somalia refrain from
any acts of intimidation or violence against such personnel;

     8.   Requests Member States to provide assistance in the withdrawal of all
UNOSOM II military forces and assets, including vehicles, weapons, and other
equipment;

     9.   Requests that the Secretary-General keep the Council informed about
the progress of the withdrawal process;

     10. Invites the Organization of African Unity, the League of Arab States
and the Organization of the Islamic Conference to continue their efforts in
cooperation with the United Nations in the search for lasting peace in Somalia;

     11. Calls upon all Member States, in particular the neighbouring States,
to continue to provide support for all Somali efforts towards genuine peace and

                                                                               /...

national reconciliation and to refrain from any action capable of exacerbating
the conflict situation in Somalia;

     12. Reiterates the need for the observance and strict monitoring of the
general and complete embargo on all deliveries of weapons and military equipment
to Somalia, as decided in paragraph 5 of resolution 733 (1992) and in this
regard requests the Committee established by resolution 751 (1992) of
24 April 1992 to fulfil its mandate as described in paragraph 11 of that
resolution, in particular to seek the cooperation of neighbouring States for the
effective implementation of this embargo;

     13. Further requests the Secretary-General to continue to monitor the
situation in Somalia and to the extent possible to keep the Security Council
informed in particular about developments affecting the humanitarian situation,
the security situation for humanitarian personnel in Somalia, repatriation of
refugees and impacts on neighbouring countries; and to report to the Security
Council before 31 March 1995 on the situation in Somalia and to submit
suggestions concerning the role that the United Nations could play in Somalia
beyond that date;

     14.   Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.

                               RESOLUTION 955 (1994)

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 3453rd meeting,
                                 on 8 November 1994

     The Security Council,

     Reaffirming all its previous resolutions on the situation in Rwanda,

     Having considered the reports of the Secretary-General pursuant to
paragraph 3 of resolution 935 (1994) of 1 July 1994 (S/1994/879 and S/1994/906),
and having taken note of the reports of the Special Rapporteur for Rwanda of the
United Nations Commission on Human Rights (S/1994/1157, annex I and annex II),

     Expressing appreciation for the work of the Commission of Experts
established pursuant to resolution 935 (1994), in particular its preliminary
report on violations of international humanitarian law in Rwanda transmitted by
the Secretary-General’s letter of 1 October 1994 (S/1994/1125),

     Expressing once again its grave concern at the reports indicating that
genocide and other systematic, widespread and flagrant violations of
international humanitarian law have been committed in Rwanda,

     Determining that this situation continues to constitute a threat to
international peace and security,

     Determined to put an end to such crimes and to take effective measures to
bring to justice the persons who are responsible for them,

     Convinced that in the particular circumstances of Rwanda, the prosecution
of persons responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law
would enable this aim to be achieved and would contribute to the process of
national reconciliation and to the restoration and maintenance of peace,

     Believing that the establishment of an international tribunal for the
prosecution of persons responsible for genocide and the other above-mentioned
violations of international humanitarian law will contribute to ensuring that
such violations are halted and effectively redressed,

     Stressing also the need for international cooperation to strengthen the
courts and judicial system of Rwanda, having regard in particular to the
necessity for those courts to deal with large numbers of suspects,

     Considering that the Commission of Experts established pursuant to
resolution 935 (1994) should continue on an urgent basis the collection of
information relating to evidence of grave violations of international
humanitarian law committed in the territory of Rwanda and should submit its
final report to the Secretary-General by 30 November 1994,

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

     1.   Decides hereby, having received the request of the Government of
Rwanda (S/1994/1115), to establish an international tribunal for the sole
purpose of prosecuting persons responsible for genocide and other serious
violations of international humanitarian law committed in the territory of
Rwanda and Rwandan citizens responsible for genocide and other such violations
committed in the territory of neighbouring States, between 1 January 1994 and
31 December 1994 and to this end to adopt the Statute of the International
Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda annexed hereto;

     2.   Decides that all States shall cooperate fully with the International
Tribunal and its organs in accordance with the present resolution and the
Statute of the International Tribunal and that consequently all States shall
take any measures necessary under their domestic law to implement the provisions
of the present resolution and the Statute, including the obligation of States to
comply with requests for assistance or orders issued by a Trial Chamber under
Article 28 of the Statute, and requests States to keep the Secretary-General
informed of such measures;

     3.   Considers that the Government of Rwanda should be notified prior to
the taking of decisions under articles 26 and 27 of the Statute;

     4.   Urges States and intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations
to contribute funds, equipment and services to the International Tribunal,
including the offer of expert personnel;

     5.   Requests the Secretary-General to implement this resolution urgently
and in particular to make practical arrangements for the effective functioning
of the International Tribunal, including recommendations to the Council as to
possible locations for the seat of the International Tribunal at the earliest
time and to report periodically to the Council;

     6.   Decides that the seat of the International Tribunal shall be
determined by the Council having regard to considerations of justice and
fairness as well as administrative efficiency, including access to witnesses,
and economy, and subject to the conclusion of appropriate arrangements between

                                                                               /...

regard to the fact that the International Tribunal may meet away from its seat
when it considers it necessary for the efficient exercise of its functions; and
decides that an office will be established and proceedings will be conducted in

appropriate arrangements;

of the International Tribunal if it becomes necessary;

or Government or as a responsible Government official, shall not relieve such
person of criminal responsibility nor mitigate punishment.

     3.   The fact that any of the acts referred to in articles 2 to 4 of the
present Statute was committed by a subordinate does not relieve his or her
superior of criminal responsibility if he or she knew or had reason to know that
the subordinate was about to commit such acts or had done so and the superior
failed to take the necessary and reasonable measures to prevent such acts or to
punish the perpetrators thereof.

     4.   The fact that an accused person acted pursuant to an order of a
Government or of a superior shall not relieve him or her of criminal
responsibility, but may be considered in mitigation of punishment if the
International Tribunal for Rwanda determines that justice so requires.

for which he or she has already been tried by the International Tribunal for
Rwanda.

by the International Tribunal for Rwanda only if:

     (a) The act for which he or she was tried was characterized as an ordinary
crime; or

     (b) The national court proceedings were not impartial or independent, were
designed to shield the accused from international criminal responsibility, or
the case was not diligently prosecuted.

     3.   In considering the penalty to be imposed on a person convicted of a
crime under the present Statute, the International Tribunal for Rwanda shall
take into account the extent to which any penalty imposed by a national court on
the same person for the same act has already been served.

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 3455th meeting,
                                 on 10 November 1994

     The Security Council,

     Recalling Chapter XII of the Charter of the United Nations which
established an international trusteeship system,

     Conscious of its responsibility relating to strategic areas as set forth in
Article 83, paragraph 1, of the Charter,

     Recalling its resolution 21 (1947) of 2 April 1947 by which it approved the
Trusteeship Agreement for the former Japanese Mandated Islands, since known as
the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, 1/

     Noting that the Trusteeship Agreement designated the United States of
America as Administering Authority of the Trust Territory,

     Mindful that article 6 of the Trusteeship Agreement, in conformity with
Article 76 of the Charter, obligated the Administering Authority, inter alia, to
promote the development of the inhabitants of the Trust Territory towards selfgovernment or independence as may be appropriate to the particular circumstances
of the Trust Territory and its peoples and the freely expressed wishes of the
peoples concerned,

     Aware that, towards this end, negotiations between the Administering
Authority and representatives of the Trust Territory began in 1969 and resulted
in the conclusion of a Compact of Free Association in the case of Palau,

     Satisfied that the people of Palau have freely exercised their right to
self-determination in approving the new status agreement in a plebiscite
observed by a visiting mission of the Trusteeship Council and that, in addition

to this plebiscite, the duly constituted legislature of Palau has adopted a
resolution approving the new status agreement, 2/ thereby freely expressing
their wish to terminate the status of Palau as a Trust Territory,

     Taking note of resolution 2199 (LXI) of the Trusteeship Council of
25 May 1994,

     Determines, in the light of the entry into force on 1 October 1994 of the
new status agreement for Palau, that the objectives of the Trusteeship Agreement
have been fully attained, and that the applicability of the Trusteeship
Agreement has terminated with respect to Palau.
