               which prevailed before the outbreak of the conflict;
                     (d) Ethiopia must provide UNMEE with full information and maps
               concerning all minefields so as to facilitate the work of the Mine Action

               abuses and attacks committed by the RUF, the Civil Defence Forces (CDF) and
               other armed groups and individuals, against the civilian population, in particular the
               widespread violation of the human rights of women and children, including sexual
               violence, demands that these acts cease immediately, and requests the Secretary-General to ensure that all human rights monitoring positions within UNAMSIL are

               under the Abuja Ceasefire Agreement to ensure full liberty for the United Nations to
               deploy its troops throughout the country and also, with a view to restoring the

               report of 23 May 2001 (S/2001/513), an update of his views on how to take forward
               the issue of refugees and internally displaced persons, including their return;
                     10. Urges Governments and regional leaders concerned to continue their full
               cooperation with ECOWAS and the United Nations to promote the efforts of all

importance of the continuing political and other support that the United Nations
provides to these efforts in order to stabilize the region;
     12. Welcomes the positive impact of progress made in the Sierra Leone peace
process on the situation in the Mano River basin, including the recent Ministerial
meetings of the Mano River Union and the prospects for a summit meeting of Mano
River Union Presidents, and in this regard, encourages the efforts of the Mano River
Union Women’s Peace Network towards regional peace;
      13. Emphasizes the importance of a successful disarmament, demobilization
and reintegration programme to long-term stability in Sierra Leone, welcomes the

their commitment to, and active participation in, the programme;
      14. Expresses concern at the serious financial shortfall in the multi-donor
Trust Fund for the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme, and

provide additional funds for the wide range of urgently needed post-conflict
activities, including humanitarian and rehabilitation requirements;
      15. Emphasizes the importance of free, fair, transparent and inclusive

of the elections;
      16. Emphasizes that the development and extension of the administrative
capacities of Sierra Leone are essential to sustainable peace and development in the
country, and to the holding of free, fair and transparent elections, and therefore
urges the Government of Sierra Leone, with the assistance of UNAMSIL, in
accordance with its mandate, to accelerate and coordinate efforts to restore civil
authority and basic public services throughout the country (including in the diamond
mining areas), including by the deployment of key administrative officials and the

the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and to disburse their financial pledges to
the Trust Fund for the Special Court;

                                                                                3

                    Recalling its resolutions 1269 (1999) of 19 October 1999, 1368 (2001) of
               12 September 2001 and 1373 (2001) of 28 September 2001,
                     Declares that acts of international terrorism constitute one of the most serious
               threats to international peace and security in the twenty-first century,
                     Further declares that acts of international terrorism constitute a challenge to
               all States and to all of humanity,
                     Reaffirms its unequivocal condemnation of all acts, methods and practices of
               terrorism as criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, in all their
               forms and manifestations, wherever and by whomever committed,
                     Stresses that acts of international terrorism are contrary to the purposes and
               principles of the Charter of the United Nations, and that the financing, planning and
               preparation of as well as any other form of support for acts of international terrorism are
               similarly contrary to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations,
                     Underlines that acts of terrorism endanger innocent lives and the dignity and
               security of human beings everywhere, threaten the social and economic development
               of all States and undermine global stability and prosperity,

               participation and collaboration of all Member States of the United Nations, and in
               accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and international law, is essential
               to combat the scourge of international terrorism,
                     Stresses that continuing international efforts to broaden the understanding
               among civilizations and to address regional conflicts and the full range of global
               issues, including development issues, will contribute to international cooperation
               and collaboration, which themselves are necessary to sustain the broadest possible
               fight against international terrorism,
                     Welcomes the commitment expressed by States to fight the scourge of
               international terrorism, including during the General Assembly plenary debate from
               1 to 5 October 2001, calls on all States to become parties as soon as possible to the
               relevant international conventions and protocols relating to terrorism, and
               encourages Member States to take forward work in this area,
                    Calls on all States to take urgent steps to implement fully resolution 1373
               (2001), and to assist each other in doing so, and underlines the obligation on States
               to deny financial and all other forms of support and safe haven to terrorists and
               those supporting terrorism,
                     Expresses its determination to proceed with the implementation of that resolution
               in full cooperation with the whole membership of the United Nations, and welcomes the
               progress made so far by the Counter-Terrorism Committee established by paragraph 6 of
               resolution 1373 (2001) to monitor implementation of that resolution,

     Recognizes that many States will require assistance in implementing all the
requirements of resolution 1373 (2001), and invites States to inform the Counter-Terrorism Committee of areas in which they require such support,
     In that context, invites the Counter-Terrorism Committee to explore ways in
which States can be assisted, and in particular to explore with international, regional
and subregional organizations:
    • the promotion of best-practice in the areas covered by resolution 1373 (2001),
      including the preparation of model laws as appropriate,
    • the availability of existing technical, financial, regulatory, legislative or other
      assistance programmes which might facilitate the implementation of resolution
      1373 (2001),
    • the promotion of possible synergies between these assistance programmes,
      Calls on all States to intensify their efforts to eliminate the scourge of
international terrorism.
