                                                                                22 July 2002

               Resolution 1425 (2002)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 4580th meeting, on
               22 July 2002

                    The Security Council,
                     Reaffirming its previous resolutions concerning the situation in Somalia, in
               particular on the weapon and military equipment embargo established by paragraph
               5 of resolution 733 (1992) of 23 January 1992 (hereinafter referred to as the “arms
               embargo”), resolution 1407 (2002) of 3 May 2002, and the statement of its President
               of 28 March 2002 (S/PRST/2002/8),
                     Noting with serious concern the continued flow of weapons and ammunition
               supplies to and through Somalia from sources outside the country, in contravention
               of the arms embargo, which is severely undermining peace and security and the
               political efforts for national reconciliation in Somalia,

               the arms embargo, and its insistence that all States, in particular those of the region,
               should not interfere in the internal affairs of Somalia. Such interference only further
               destabilizes Somalia, contributes to a climate of fear and impacts adversely on
               human rights, and could jeopardize the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political
               independence and unity of Somalia,
                    Underlining the role of the Intergovernmental Authority of Development
               (IGAD), in particular the frontline States (Djibouti, Ethiopia and Kenya), in
               bringing lasting peace to Somalia, and expressing its support and expectation that
               the planned National Reconciliation Conference for Somalia to be held in Nairobi
               will move forward as a matter of urgency and with the pragmatic and result-oriented
               involvement of the frontline States,
                     Welcoming the report of the Secretary-General of 27 June 2002 (S/2002/709)
               and the report of the expert team appointed by the Secretary-General (S/2002/722),
               detailing the resources and expertise required for a Panel of Experts to generate
               independent information on the violations and for improving the enforcement of the
               arms embargo, in accordance with resolution 1407 (2002),

                     Recalling its condemnation of the shooting down of a helicopter of the United
               Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) on 8 October 2001, which

                     5.    Underlines further that the process of negotiation leading to a lasting
               political settlement acceptable to both sides will require concessions from both
               sides;
                    6.     Deeply regrets, in particular, the repeated refusal of the Abkhaz side to

               Abkhaz side to receive the document and its transmittal letter, urges both parties

               promote this outcome;

               confidence-building measures in March 2001 (S/2001/242), and to implement the
               proposals agreed on that occasion in a purposeful and cooperative manner;
                     12. Stresses the urgent need for progress on the question of the refugees and

               arrangements are to remain in effect, and that, accordingly, arrangements for the
               separation of forces, as achieved by the Temporary Security Zone and through the
