     The Security Council,

members of Rwandan society within the frame of reference of the Arusha Peace
Agreement,

incursions into Rwanda by elements of the former regime and underlining the need
for effective measures to ensure that Rwandan nationals currently in
neighbouring countries, including those in camps, do not undertake military
activities aimed at destabilizing Rwanda or receive arms supplies, in view of
the great likelihood that such arms are intended for use within Rwanda,

     Underlining the need for increased efforts to assist the Government of
Rwanda in the promotion of a climate of stability and trust in order to
facilitate the return of Rwandan refugees in neighbouring countries,

95-17326   (E)                                                                 /...

     (b) Assist the Government of Rwanda in facilitating the voluntary and safe
return of refugees and their reintegration in their home communities, and, to
that end, to support the Government of Rwanda in its ongoing efforts to promote

matériel within Rwanda;

ensure that such arms and matériel are not transferred to Rwandan camps within
their territories;

     6.   Requests the Secretary-General to consult the Governments of
neighbouring countries on the possibility of the deployment of United Nations

referred to above; and further requests the Secretary-General to report to the
Council on the matter within one month of the adoption of this resolution;

the implementation of the new mandate;

     8.   Commends the efforts of States, United Nations agencies and

assistance, and calls upon the Government of Rwanda to continue to facilitate
their delivery and distribution;

     9.   Calls upon States and donor agencies to fulfil their earlier

such assistance, and in particular to support the early and effective
functioning of the International Tribunal and the rehabilitation of the Rwandan

agree to a further cease-fire following the breakdown of the cease-fire
agreement of 23 December 1994 (S/1995/8) and its subsequent expiration on
1 May 1995,

     Gravely concerned that the regular obstruction of deliveries of

Bosnian Serb side threaten the ability of the United Nations in Bosnia and
Herzegovina to carry out its mandate,

95-17934 (E)                                                                   /...

of all its missions, and to these ends, acting under Chapter VII of the Charter
of the United Nations,

     1.   Demands that the Bosnian Serb forces release immediately and
unconditionally all remaining detained UNPROFOR personnel, and further demands
that all parties fully respect the safety of UNPROFOR personnel, and others
engaged in the delivery of humanitarian assistance, and ensure their complete
freedom of movement;

     2.   Emphasizes that there can be no military solution to the conflict,
stresses the importance it attaches to vigorous pursuit of a political
settlement, and reiterates its demand that the Bosnian Serb party accept the

     6.   Demands that the parties respect fully the status of the safe areas
and in particular the need to ensure the safety of the civilian population
therein;

     7.   Underlines the need for a mutually agreed demilitarization of the safe
areas and their immediate surroundings and the benefits this would bring to all
parties, in terms of the cessation of attacks on the safe areas and of launching
military attacks therefrom;

     8.   Encourages, in this context, the Secretary-General further to
intensify efforts aimed at reaching agreement with the parties on the modalities
for demilitarization, taking particular account of the need to ensure the safety
of the civilian population, and calls upon the parties to cooperate fully with

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 3547th meeting,
                                   on 23 June 1995

     The Security Council,

     Welcoming the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations
operation in Cyprus of 15 June 1995 (S/1995/488 and Add.1),

     Taking note of his recommendation that the Security Council extend the
mandate of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) for a
further period of six months,

     Noting that the Government of Cyprus has agreed that in view of the
prevailing conditions in the island it is necessary to keep the force in Cyprus
beyond 30 June 1995,

     Reaffirming its earlier relevant resolutions on Cyprus, and in particular
resolutions 186 (1964) of 4 March 1964 and 969 (1994) of 21 December 1994,

     Expressing its concern that there has been no progress towards a final
political solution,

     Noting that no progress has been made on extending the 1989 unmanning
agreement,

     Noting also that a review of the situation on the Secretary-General’s
mission of good offices in Cyprus remains in progress and looking forward to
receiving a definitive report at an appropriate time,

     1.   Decides to extend the mandate of UNFICYP for a further period ending
on 31 December 1995;

     2.   Calls upon the military authorities on both sides to ensure that no
incidents occur along the buffer zone and to extend their full cooperation to
UNFICYP;

95-18913 (E)                                                                   /...

strength of UNFICYP with a view to its possible restructuring, bearing in mind
the possible implications of an agreement on the extension of the 1989 unmanning
agreement;

     4.   Expresses concern about the modernization and upgrading of military
forces in the Republic of Cyprus and the lack of progress towards a significant
reduction in the number of foreign troops in the Republic of Cyprus, urges once
again all concerned to commit themselves to such a reduction and to a reduction
of defence spending in the Republic of Cyprus to help restore confidence between
the parties and as a first step towards the withdrawal of non-Cypriot forces as
described in the set of ideas (S/24472, annex), and calls upon the Secretary-General to promote efforts in this direction;

     5.   Expresses concern also about the failure by the military authorities
on both sides to take reciprocal measures to prohibit along the cease-fire lines
live ammunition or weapons other than those which are hand-held and to prohibit
also the firing of weapons within sight or hearing of the buffer zone, and calls
upon those authorities to enter into discussions with UNFICYP on this matter in
line with paragraph 3 of resolution 839 (1993) of 11 June 1993;

     6.   Regrets the failure to reach agreement on the extension of the 1989

both sides to cooperate urgently with UNFICYP to this end;

reconciliation between the two communities as recommended in the relevant
reports of the Secretary-General;

the two leaders, to make every effort to find common ground for the basis for a
resumption of direct talks;

     9.   Reaffirms the importance it attaches to early progress being made on
the substance of the Cyprus question and on the implementation of the
confidence-building measures as called for in resolution 939 (1994) of

     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General dated 10 June 1995
(S/1995/473), on the United Nations Observer Mission in Liberia (UNOMIL),

     Emphasizing that the people of Liberia bear the ultimate responsibility for
achieving peace and national reconciliation,

     Commending the positive role of the Economic Community of West African
States (ECOWAS) in its continuing efforts to restore peace, security and
stability in Liberia,

     Welcoming the recent summit meeting of Heads of State and Government of the
Committee of Nine on Liberia of the Economic Community of West African States,

     Noting that a further concerted and harmonized effort by all concerned,

     Concerned that the Liberian parties have so far failed to install the
Council of State, re-establish an effective cease-fire and take concrete steps
towards the implementation of the other provisions of the Accra Agreement,

     Deeply concerned also at the continuing inter- and intra-factional fighting
in parts of Liberia, which has further worsened the plight of the civilian

humanitarian agencies to provide relief,

95-19692 (E)                                                                   /...

including contributions to the Trust Fund for Liberia,

     1.    Welcomes the report of the Secretary-General dated 10 June 1995;

     2.   Stresses that continued international community support for the peace

     7.   Urges the ECOWAS Ministers of the Committee of Nine as authorized by

settlement;

                                                                              /...

States that have pledged assistance to fulfil their commitments;

     10. Reminds all States of their obligations to comply strictly with
the embargo on all deliveries of weapons and military equipment to Liberia

the arms embargo before the Committee established pursuant to resolution

     The Security Council,

     Recalling all its earlier relevant resolutions,

     Reaffirming its commitment to the sovereignty, territorial integrity and
political independence of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina,

     Gravely concerned at the deterioration in the situation in and around the
safe area of Srebrenica, Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and at the plight
of the civilian population there,

     Gravely concerned also at the very serious situation which confronts
personnel of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) and a great number
of displaced persons within the safe area at Potocari, especially the lack of
essential food supplies and medical care,

     Paying tribute to the personnel of UNPROFOR deployed in the safe area of
Srebrenica,

     Condemning the offensive by the Bosnian Serb forces against the safe area
of Srebrenica, and in particular the detention by the Bosnian Serb forces of

     Recalling the Agreement for the demilitarization of Srebrenica of
18 April 1993 (S/25700, annex) by the Government of the Republic of Bosnia and
Herzegovina and the Bosnian Serb party, and regretting that it has not been

     Stressing the importance of renewed efforts to achieve an overall peaceful
settlement, and the unacceptability of any attempt to resolve the conflict in
the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina by military means,

utilities;

     6.   Requests the Secretary-General to use all resources available to him

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 3555th meeting,
                                   on 17 July 1995

     The Security Council,

     Recalling its previous resolutions 918 (1994) of 17 May 1994, and
997 (1995) of 9 June 1995,

     Noting with concern that unexploded landmines constitute a substantial
hazard to the population of Rwanda, and an impediment to the rapid
reconstruction of the country,

     Noting also the desire of the Government of Rwanda to address the problem
of unexploded landmines, and the interest on the part of other States to assist
with the detection and destruction of these mines,

     Underlining the importance the Council attaches to efforts to eliminate the
threat posed by unexploded landmines in a number of States, and the humanitarian
nature of demining programmes,

     Recognizing that safe and successful humanitarian demining operations in
Rwanda will require the supply to Rwanda of an appropriate quantity of
explosives for use in these operations,

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

     Decides that, notwithstanding the restrictions imposed in paragraph 13 of
resolution 918 (1994), appropriate amounts of explosives intended exclusively
for use in established humanitarian demining programmes may be supplied to
Rwanda upon application to and authorization by the Committee of the Security
Council established by resolution 918 (1994).
