                    The Security Council,
                     Recalling all its previous resolutions on Western Sahara, in particular
               resolution 1108 (1997) of 22 May 1997, and the statement by its President of 19
               March 1997 (S/PRST/1997/16),
                     Recalling also its resolution 1308 (2000) of 17 July 2000, and the relevant
               principles contained in the Convention on the Safety of United Nations and

                     Reaffirming the provisions contained in paragraph 2 of Article 1 of the Charter
               of the United Nations,
                    Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 20 June 2001
               (S/2001/613),
                    Expressing full support for the role and work of the Personal Envoy,
                     Reiterating full support for the ongoing efforts of the United Nations Mission

                     Taking into consideration also the draft Framework Agreement on the Status
               of Western Sahara contained in annex I to the report of the Secretary-General, which
               would provide for a substantial devolution of authority, which does not foreclose
               self-determination, and which indeed provides for it,
                    Taking into consideration further the Memorandum of the Government of
               Algeria on the Draft Status for Western Sahara contained in annex II to the report of

               to meet directly or through proximity talks, under the auspices of his Personal
               Envoy, and encourages the parties to discuss the draft Framework Agreement and to
               negotiate any specific changes they would like to see in this proposal, as well as to
               discuss any other proposal for a political solution, which may be put forward by the

               implementation of the Settlement Plan will be considered;
                     4.   Recalls that according to the rules of the consultations established by the
               Personal Envoy nothing would be agreed until everything had been agreed, and

                    7.    Decides to remain seized of the matter.

               regarding the situation in Abkhazia, Georgia,

               settlement of the conflict in Abkhazia, Georgia, is unacceptable,
                     Deeply concerned by the interruption of negotiating activities following the

               Coordinating Council of the Georgian and Abkhaz sides, initially scheduled for 17

               United Nations and Associated Personnel adopted on 9 December 1994,
                     Welcoming the important contributions that the United Nations Observer
               Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) and the Collective Peacekeeping Forces of the
               Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS peacekeeping force) continue to make in
               stabilizing the situation in the zone of conflict, noting that the working relationship
               between UNOMIG and the CIS peacekeeping force has remained very close, and
               stressing the importance of close cooperation between them in the performance of
               their respective mandates,
                    Noting the invitation of the Georgian Government for the Security Council to
               dispatch a mission to the region,
                    1.    Welcomes the report of the Secretary-General of 19 July 2001;

S/RES/1364 (2001)

                     2.    Regrets the deterioration of the situation in the zone of conflict due to the
               ongoing violence, hostage-taking incidents, the rise in criminality and the activities
               of illegal armed groups in the conflict zone, which constitutes a constant threat to
               the peace process;
                     3.    Strongly supports the sustained efforts of the Secretary-General and his

               as facilitator as well as of the Group of Friends of the Secretary-General and of the
               OSCE, to promote the stabilization of the situation and the achievement of a
               comprehensive political settlement, which must include a settlement of the political
               status of Abkhazia within the State of Georgia;
                     4.   Recalls the intention of the Special Representative to submit the draft
               paper on the question of the distribution of constitutional competences between
               Tbilisi and Sukhumi as a basis for meaningful negotiations, and not as an attempt to
               impose or dictate any specific solution to the parties;
                     5.    Stresses the importance of early submission to the parties of the paper as
               a starting point and significant catalyst for negotiations on a comprehensive political
               settlement, and deeply regrets that the Special Representative of the Secretary-General has not been in a position to do so;
                     6.   Stresses also the need to accelerate work on the draft protocol on the
               return of the refugees to the Gali region and measures for economic rehabilitation,
               as well as on the draft agreement on peace and guarantees for the prevention and for
               the non-resumption of hostilities;
                    7.   Calls upon the parties, in particular the Abkhaz side, to undertake
               immediate efforts to move beyond the impasse and to engage into negotiations on
               the core political questions of the conflict and all other outstanding issues in the
               United Nations-led peace process;
                     8.   Welcomes the documents signed at the Yalta meeting on confidencebuilding measures in March 2001 (S/2001/242), and urges the Georgian and Abkhaz
               sides to implement the proposals agreed in those documents in a purposeful and
               cooperative manner;
                     9.    Calls upon the parties to resume their work in the Coordinating Council
               and its relevant mechanisms as soon as possible;
                     10. Urges the parties to work together, through more effective use of existing
               arrangements within the Coordinating Council mechanisms, in order to clarify the
               incidents of 8, 9 and 22 July 2001, bring about the release of the hostages still being
               held and bring the perpetrators to justice;
                     11. Reaffirms the unacceptability of the demographic changes resulting from
               the conflict, and reaffirms also the inalienable right of all refugees and internally
               displaced persons affected by the conflict to return to their homes in secure and
               dignified conditions, in accordance with international law and as set out in the
               Quadripartite Agreement of 4 April 1994 (S/1994/397, annex II);
                     12. Further urges the parties, in this context, to address urgently and in a
               concerted manner, as a first step, the undefined and insecure status of spontaneous
               returnees to the Gali district, which remains an issue of serious concern;

      15. Deplores all violations of the Moscow Agreement of 14 May 1994 on a
Ceasefire and Separation of Forces (S/1994/583, annex I), and notes with particular
concern the military exercises conducted by both parties in June and July 2001 in
violation of the Moscow Agreement;
      16. Expresses its concern at the disturbing tendency by the parties to restrict
the freedom of movement of UNOMIG, thereby hindering the ability of the Mission
to fulfil its mandate, urges both sides to return immediately to full compliance with
the Moscow Agreement, which remains a cornerstone of the United Nations peace
effort, and calls upon the parties to ensure the security and freedom of movement of
United Nations and other international personnel;
      17. Recalls that the Georgian and the Abkhaz sides bear the primary
responsibility for the security of UNOMIG, the CIS peacekeeping force and other
international personnel and for full compliance with all security arrangements
agreed between them to preclude any further aggravation of the situation, and urges

on 10 December 2000;
