               Resolution 1343 (2001)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 4287th meeting, on
               7 March 2001

                    The Security Council,
                    Recalling its resolutions 1132 (1997) of 8 October 1997, 1171 (1998) of 5 June
               1998, 1306 (2000) of 5 July 2000 and its other resolutions and statements of its
               President on the situation in Sierra Leone and the region,
                     Welcoming General Assembly resolution A/RES/55/56 of 1 December 2000, in
               particular its call for measures engaging all concerned parties including diamond
               producing, processing, exporting and importing countries as well as the diamond
               industry to break the link between diamonds and armed conflict, and its call upon all
               States to implement fully Security Council measures targeting the link between the
               trade in conflict diamonds and the supply to rebel movements of weapons, fuel or
               other prohibited materiel,
                    Taking note of the report of the United Nations Panel of Experts established
               pursuant to paragraph 19 of resolution 1306 (2000) in relation to Sierra Leone
               (S/2000/1195),
                    Taking note of the findings of the Panel of Experts that diamonds represent a
               major and primary source of income for the Revolutionary United Front (RUF), that
               the bulk of RUF diamonds leave Sierra Leone through Liberia, and that such illicit
               trade cannot be conducted without the permission and involvement of Liberian
               government officials at the highest levels, and expressing its deep concern at the
               unequivocal and overwhelming evidence presented by the report of the Panel of
               Experts that the Government of Liberia is actively supporting the RUF at all levels,
                    Recalling the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)
               Moratorium on the Importation, Exportation and Manufacture of Small Arms and
               Light Weapons in West Africa adopted in Abuja on 31 October 1998 (S/1998/1194,
               annex),
                     Taking note of the measures announced by the Government of Liberia since the
               publication of the report of the Panel of Experts established pursuant to resolution
               1306 (2000), and welcoming the intention of ECOWAS to monitor their
               implementation in close cooperation with the United Nations and to report thereon
               after a period of two months,

S/RES/1343 (2001)

                    Recalling its concern already expressed in resolution 1306 (2000) at the role
               played by the illicit diamond trade in fuelling the conflict in Sierra Leone and at
               reports that such diamonds transit neighbouring countries, including Liberia,
                     Reiterating its call made in the statement of its President of 21 December 2000
               (S/PRST/2000/41) on all States in West Africa, particularly Liberia, immediately to
               cease military support for armed groups in neighbouring countries and prevent
               armed individuals from using their national territory to prepare and commit attacks
               in neighbouring countries,
                    Determining that the active support provided by the Government of Liberia for
               armed rebel groups in neighbouring countries, and in particular its support for the
               RUF in Sierra Leone, constitutes a threat to international peace and security in the
               region,
                    Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,

               A
                    Recalling its resolutions 788 (1992) of 19 November 1992 and 985 (1995) of
               13 April 1995,
                     Noting that the conflict in Liberia has been resolved, that national elections
               have taken place within the framework of the Yamoussoukro IV Agreement of
               30 October 1991 (S/24815, annex) and that the Final Communiqué of the informal
               consultative group meeting of ECOWAS Committee of Five on Liberia issued in
               Geneva on 7 April 1992 (S/23863) has been implemented, and determining therefore
               that the embargo imposed by paragraph 8 of resolution 788 (1992) should be
               terminated,
                     1.   Decides to terminate the prohibitions imposed by paragraph 8 of
               resolution 788 (1992) and to dissolve the Committee established under resolution
               985 (1995);

               B
                     2.    Demands that the Government of Liberia immediately cease its support
               for the RUF in Sierra Leone and for other armed rebel groups in the region, and in
               particular take the following concrete steps:
                     (a) expel all RUF members from Liberia, including such individuals as are
               listed by the Committee established by paragraph 14 below, and prohibit all RUF
               activities on its territory, provided that nothing in this paragraph shall oblige Liberia
               to expel its own nationals from its territory;
                     (b) cease all financial and, in accordance with resolution 1171 (1998),
               military support to the RUF, including all transfers of arms and ammunition, all
               military training and the provision of logistical and communications support, and
               take steps to ensure that no such support is provided from the territory of Liberia or
               by its nationals;
                     (c) cease all direct or indirect import of Sierra Leone rough diamonds which
               are not controlled through the Certificate of Origin regime of the Government of
               Sierra Leone, in accordance with resolution 1306 (2000);

      (d) freeze funds or financial resources or assets that are made available by its
nationals or within its territory directly or indirectly for the benefit of the RUF or
entities owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the RUF;
      (e) ground all Liberia-registered aircraft operating within its jurisdiction
until it updates its register of aircraft pursuant to Annex VII to the Chicago
Convention on International Civil Aviation of 1944 and provides to the Council the
updated information concerning the registration and ownership of each aircraft
registered in Liberia;
      3.   Stresses that the demands in paragraph 2 above are intended to lead to
further progress in the peace process in Sierra Leone, and, in that regard, calls upon
the President of Liberia to help ensure that the RUF meet the following objectives:
     (a) allow the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL) free
access throughout Sierra Leone;
     (b)   release all abductees;
     (c)   enter their fighters in the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration
process;
     (d)   return all weapons and other equipment seized from UNAMSIL;
      4.   Demands that all States in the region take action to prevent armed
individuals and groups from using their territory to prepare and commit attacks on
neighbouring countries and refrain from any action that might contribute to further
destabilization of the situation on the borders between Guinea, Liberia and Sierra
Leone;
      5. (a) Decides that all States shall take the necessary measures to prevent the
sale or supply to Liberia, by their nationals or from their territories or using their

parts for the aforementioned, whether or not originating in their territories;
      (b) Decides that all States shall take the necessary measures to prevent any
provision to Liberia by their nationals or from their territories of technical training
or assistance related to the provision, manufacture, maintenance or use of the items
in subparagraph (a) above;
      (c) Decides that the measures imposed by subparagraphs (a) and (b) above

     (d) Affirms that the measures imposed by subparagraph (a) above do not
apply to protective clothing, including flak jackets and military helmets, temporarily
exported to Liberia by United Nations personnel, representatives of the media and

use only;
      6.   Decides further that all States shall take the necessary measures to
prevent the direct or indirect import of all rough diamonds from Liberia, whether or
not such diamonds originated in Liberia;

                                                                                3

S/RES/1343 (2001)

                     7. (a) Decides also that all States shall take the necessary measures to prevent
               the entry into or transit through their territories of senior members of the
               Government of Liberia and its armed forces and their spouses and any other
               individuals providing financial and military support to armed rebel groups in
               countries neighbouring Liberia, in particular the RUF in Sierra Leone, as designated
               by the Committee established by paragraph 14 below, provided that nothing in this
               paragraph shall oblige a State to refuse entry into its territory to its own nationals,
               and provided that nothing in this paragraph shall impede the transit of
               representatives of the Government of Liberia to United Nations Headquarters to
               conduct United Nations business or the participation of the Government of Liberia
               in the official meetings of the Mano River Union, ECOWAS and the Organization of
               African Unity;
                     (b) Decides that the measures imposed by subparagraph (a) above shall not
               apply where the Committee established by paragraph 14 below determines that such
               travel is justified on the grounds of humanitarian need, including religious
               obligation, or where the Committee concludes that exemption would otherwise
               promote Liberian compliance with the demands of the Council, or assist in the
               peaceful resolution of the conflict in the subregion;
                     8.   Further decides that the measures imposed by paragraphs 6 and 7 above
               shall come into force at 00.01 Eastern Daylight Time two months after the date of

               from ECOWAS, relevant information provided by the Committee established by
               paragraph 14 below and the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1132
               (1997) and any other relevant information;
                    9.    Decides that the measures imposed by paragraph 5 are established for 14
               months and that, at the end of the period, the Council will decide whether the
               Government of Liberia has complied with the demands in paragraph 2 above, and,
               accordingly, whether to extend these measures for a further period with the same

               are established for a period of 12 months, and that at the end of this period the
               Council will decide whether the Government of Liberia has complied with the
               demands in paragraph 2 above, and, accordingly, whether to extend these measures
               for a further period with the same conditions;
                     11. Decides also that the measures imposed by paragraphs 5 to 7 above shall
               be terminated immediately if the Council, taking into account, inter alia, the reports

               information provided by the Committee established by paragraph 14 below and the
               Committee established pursuant to resolution 1132 (1997) and any other relevant
               information, determines that the Government of Liberia has complied with the
               demands in paragraph 2 above;
                    12. Requests the Secretary-General to submit a first report to the Council by

                     15. Calls upon the Government of Liberia to establish an effective Certificate

                     Expressing its continued concern at the fragile security situation in Sierra
               Leone and neighbouring countries, and in particular at the continued fighting on the

               areas,
                     Recognizing the importance of the progressive extension of State authority
               throughout the entire country, political dialogue and national reconciliation, the full
               implementation of a disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme, the

                     4.   Expresses its appreciation to those Member States providing additional
               troops and support elements to UNAMSIL and those who have made commitments

               necessary, further properly trained and equipped forces to strengthen the military
               components of UNAMSIL in order to enable the mission to implement fully its
               revised concept of operations, and requests the Secretary-General to inform the

               Leone and the RUF has not been fully implemented, and demands that the RUF take

S/RES/1353 (2001)

                     Recognizing the need to strengthen cooperation with troop-contributing
               countries, as part of a series of measures to ensure more coherent and integrated
               concepts of operations and to enhance managerial efficiency and operational
               effectiveness of United Nations peacekeeping operations,
                     Noting that relevant provisions contained in the annexes to the present
               resolution pertain also to strengthening cooperation with countries contributing
               civilian police and other personnel,
                    1.    Agrees to adopt the decisions and recommendations contained in the

               resolution the efficiency and effectiveness of the agreed measures, consider their
               further improvement taking into account the proposals of the troop-contributing
               countries and to report to the Council on these matters;
                    4.    Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.

               Annex I
               A
               Statement of principles on cooperation with troop-contributing countries
                    The Security Council
                     1.   Recognizes that its partnership with troop-contributing countries can be
               strengthened by the assumption by Member States, in particular those with the
               greatest capacity and means to do so, of their shared responsibility to provide
               personnel, assistance and facilities to the United Nations for the maintenance of
               international peace and security;
                    2.    Encourages Member States to take steps to bridge the commitment gap
               with regard to personnel and equipment for specific United Nations peacekeeping
               operations;
                     3.   Emphasizes the importance of troop-contributing countries taking the
               necessary and appropriate steps to ensure the capability of their peacekeepers to
               fulfil the missions’ mandate, and underlines the importance of bilateral and
               international cooperation in this regard, including in the area of training, logistics
               and equipment;
                     4.    Underlines the importance of ensuring that national contingents
               participating in United Nations peacekeeping operations receive effective and
               appropriate support from the Secretariat, including in the area of training, logistics
               and equipment;
                     5.    Stresses the need to ensure that the Secretariat is given sufficient human
               and financial resources to fulfil these tasks, and that these resources be used
               efficiently and effectively;

                                                                                S/RES/1353 (2001)

     6.    Underlines that consultations between the Security Council, the
Secretariat and troop-contributing countries should enhance the ability of the
Security Council to make appropriate, effective and timely decisions in fulfilling its
responsibilities;
     7.   Underlines also the need to maintain a comprehensive approach to
improving the effectiveness of peacekeeping operations from their conception,
including in preparing contingency plans for volatile situations, and promoting
cohesive exit strategies;

B
Operational issues
      1.    Encourages international cooperation and support for peacekeeping
training, including the establishment of regional peacekeeping training centres, and
stresses the need for technical support from the Secretary-General to such centres;
      2.   Requests the Secretary-General to include information on his
consultations with troop-contributing countries in his regular reports to the Security
Council on individual peacekeeping operations, and undertakes to take account of
the views expressed in these consultations and in its meetings with troopcontributing countries when taking decisions on such operations;
     3.    Also requests the Secretary-General to convene assessments meetings
with interested delegations, in particular troop-contributing countries, at appropriate
stages of each peacekeeping operation as a part of his efforts to draw the lessons that
can be learned, which should be taken into account in the conduct and planning of
current and future operations;
     4.    Further requests the Secretary-General to take into account in the
conduct of peacekeeping operations and in the regular lessons-learned process, the
operational experiences of national contingents while in the field or following
departure;
      5.   Undertakes to inform troop-contributing countries fully of the terms of
reference of missions of the Security Council involving peacekeeping operations
and subsequently of the conclusions of the missions;
      6.   Expresses its view that the conduct of reconnaissance visits to the
mission area by countries committing troops can be highly valuable in preparing for
effective participation in peacekeeping operations, and encourages support for such
visits;
     7.    Urges the Secretary-General to take further steps to implement the
proposal of the Panel on United Nations Peace Operations to create integrated
mission task forces, and to pursue other related capabilities to improve United
Nations planning and support capacities;
     8.    Stresses the need to improve the information and the analysis capacity of
the United Nations Secretariat, with a view to improving the quality of advice to the
Secretary-General, the Security Council and the troop-contributing countries;
     9.    Stresses also that the Secretariat’s advice to the Security Council and the
troop-contributing countries should include a range of recommendations for action

                                                                                3

S/RES/1353 (2001)

               on the basis of an objective assessment of the situation on the ground, rather than
               what Member States are presumed to be willing to support;
                     10. Underlines the importance of an effective mission-specific public
               information and communications capacity within peacekeeping operations, in
               particular through campaigns to improve awareness of the objectives and scope of
               the mission within the local population in the mission area;
                    11. Stresses the need for an effective public information programme to
               generate international public support for United Nations peacekeeping operations,
               and stresses also in this regard the need for special programmes, in particular in
               troop-contributing countries, to project the contribution of peacekeepers;
                    12. Underlines in this regard the need for an effective public information
               capacity within the United Nations, and takes note in this regard of the proposals
               made by the Secretary-General to strengthen Secretariat planning and support for
               public information in peacekeeping operations (S/2000/1081);

               C
               Other mechanisms
                     1.   Undertakes to continue to consider the possibility of using the Military
               Staff Committee as one of the means of enhancing United Nations peacekeeping
               operations;
                     2.   Expresses its belief that Groups of Friends of the Secretary-General, as
               well as other informal mechanisms which might include troop-contributing
               countries, Security Council members, donors and the countries in the region, can
               play a useful role in increasing the coherence and effectiveness of United Nations
               action, and stresses that they should conduct their work in close cooperation with
               the Security Council;

               D
               Follow-up
                     1.   Expresses its intention to assess within six months the efficiency and
               effectiveness of its meetings with troop-contributing countries, with a view to the
               possibility of further improvement to the current system, including through the
               consideration of specific proposals of troop-contributing countries for new
               mechanisms;
                     2.   Decides to strengthen cooperation with the troop-contributing countries
               in addition to and on the basis of the principles and provisions contained in the
               resolution and the present annex by improving and expanding existing consultation
               mechanisms as elaborated in annex II, with a view to ensuring proper reflection of
               the views and concerns of troop-contributing countries.

specific peacekeeping operation;
2.    Such meetings may be held, in particular, when the Secretary-General has
identified potential troop-contributing countries for a new or ongoing peacekeeping
