that the territories of Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium are
integral parts of the Republic of Croatia,

     Expressing its appreciation for the substantial achievements of the United
Nations Transitional Administration for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western
Sirmium (UNTAES) in facilitating progress towards the peaceful return of the
Region to the control of the Republic of Croatia, and expressing further its

and Western Sirmium (S/1995/951), signed on 12 November 1995 by the Government

     Welcoming the Agreement of the Joint Working Group on the Operational
Procedures of Return (S/1997/341, annex), but noting with concern that the lack
of conditions necessary for the return of displaced persons to the former United
Nations Protected Areas from the Region of Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western
Sirmium prevents the return in any substantial number of those displaced persons
seeking to return to Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium from other
parts of Croatia,

     Expressing its grave concern over the lack of improvement in respect for
human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities, in
Croatia and in particular in the former United Nations Protected Areas, and
strongly deploring recent incidents of ethnically-motivated violence in Hrvatska
Kostajnica and similar incidents,

     Reiterating its concerns about the failure of the Government of the
Republic of Croatia to cooperate fully with the International Tribunal for the
Former Yugoslavia, and in this context recalling the obligation of the States in
the region to surrender all those indicted to the Tribunal,

     Reiterating also its concerns about continued uncertainty regarding
implementation of the Amnesty Law, which has been detrimental to the building of
confidence and trust among Croatia's ethnic communities,

     Welcoming the report of the Secretary-General of 23 June 1997 (S/1997/487),
and noting in particular his recommendations for the continued presence of
UNTAES after 15 July 1997 with an appropriate restructuring of the mission,

     Recalling that the Basic Agreement provides that the transitional period of
twelve months may be extended at most to another period of the same duration if
so requested by one of the parties, and noting that the local Serb community has
requested such an extension, as indicated by the Secretary-General in his report
of 28 August 1996 (S/1996/705),

     Determining that the situation in Croatia continues to constitute a threat
to international peace and security,

Croatia of 13 January 1997 (S/1997/27, annex);

     2.   Reaffirms in particular the importance of full compliance by the
parties, in particular by the Government of the Republic of Croatia, with their
commitments, as specified in the Basic Agreement, to respect the highest
standards of human rights and fundamental freedoms and to promote an atmosphere
of confidence among local residents regardless of their ethnic origin, and urges

                                                                            /...

from the Republic of Croatia to return to their homes of origin throughout the
Republic of Croatia;

     4.   Strongly urges the Government of the Republic of Croatia to eliminate

displaced persons, in particular those posed by the Law on Temporary Take Over

including the Government of the Republic of Croatia, to cooperate fully with the
International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia;

     7.   Urges the Government of the Republic of Croatia to eliminate
ambiguities in implementation of the Amnesty Law, and to implement it fairly and
objectively in accordance with international standards, in particular by
concluding all investigations of crimes covered by the amnesty and undertaking
an immediate and comprehensive review with United Nations and local Serb
participation of all charges outstanding against individuals for serious
violations of international humanitarian law which are not covered by the
amnesty in order to end proceedings against all individuals against whom there
is insufficient evidence;

     8.   Decides to extend the mandate of UNTAES until 15 January 1998, as
envisaged in its resolution 1079 (1996) of 15 November 1996 as well as in the
Basic Agreement;

     9.   Endorses the plan for the gradual devolution of executive
responsibility for civil administration in the Region by the Transitional
Administrator, as set out in the report of the Secretary-General of
23 June 1997;

     10. Endorses the plan for restructuring UNTAES, as set out in the report

     11. Stresses that the pace of the gradual devolution of executive
responsibility would be commensurate with Croatia's demonstrated ability to
reassure the Serb population and successfully complete peaceful reintegration;

                                                                            /...

States, acting nationally or through regional organizations or arrangements,

continued and reinforced OSCE presence in the Republic of Croatia, with a
particular focus on two-way return of all refugees and displaced persons,
protection of their rights, and the protection of persons belonging to national
minorities, welcomes also the decision of OSCE for the build-up starting
July 1997 of its mission personnel with a view to full deployment by
15 January 1998, and urges the Government of the Republic of Croatia to
cooperate fully with the OSCE mission to that end;

     18. Underlines the observation of the Secretary-General that the essential
prerequisite for the successful completion of peaceful reintegration of the
Region is the full cooperation of the Government of the Republic of Croatia,
which bears the responsibility for convincing the local population that the
reintegration of the people of the Region is sustainable and that the process of
reconciliation and return is irreversible;

     19.   Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.

                                  on 31 July 1997

     The Security Council,

     Recalling all its relevant resolutions, reaffirming in particular
resolution 1096 (1997) of 30 January 1997, and recalling the statement of its
President of 8 May 1997,

     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 18 July 1997
(S/1997/558 and Add.1),

     Reiterating its full support for the more active role for the United
Nations, with the assistance of the Russian Federation as facilitator, aimed at
achieving a comprehensive political settlement,

     Acknowledging the efforts in support of the peace process of the Secretary-General and his Special Representative, with the assistance of the Russian
Federation as facilitator, as well as the group of Friends of the Secretary-General on Georgia and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe
(OSCE) as mentioned in the report,

     Welcoming in this context the indication given in the report that prospects
for progress in the peace process have improved, noting with deep concern the
continued failure by the parties to resolve their differences, and underlining
the necessity for the parties to intensify without delay their efforts to
achieve an early and comprehensive political settlement of the conflict,
including on the political status of Abkhazia within the State of Georgia, which
fully respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia,

     Reaffirming the necessity for the parties strictly to respect human rights,

improve their observance as an integral part of the work towards a comprehensive
political settlement, and noting developments in the work of the United Nations

Georgia (UNOMIG) and the Collective Peacekeeping Forces of the Commonwealth of
Independent States (CIS peacekeeping force) have made in stabilizing the
situation in the zone of conflict, noting that the cooperation between UNOMIG
and the CIS peacekeeping force is good and has continued to develop, and
stressing the importance of continued close cooperation and coordination between
them in the performance of their respective mandates,

     Deeply concerned at the continuing unstable and tense security conditions
in the Gali region, characterized by acts of violence by armed groups, by armed
robbery, and other common crime and, most seriously, by the laying of mines,

safety and security for the local populations, for the refugees and displaced
persons returning to the region and for the personnel of UNOMIG and of the CIS
peacekeeping force,

     Reminding the parties that the ability of the international community to
assist them depends on their political will to resolve the conflict through
dialogue and mutual accommodation, as well as their full cooperation with UNOMIG
and the CIS peacekeeping force, including the fulfilment of their obligations
regarding the safety and freedom of movement of international personnel,

     Taking note of the decision taken by the Council of Heads of State of the

contravention of these principles;

Representative aimed at achieving a comprehensive political settlement of the
conflict, including on the political status of Abkhazia within the State of

and the efforts undertaken by the Russian Federation in its capacity as
facilitator, in particular during the last round of talks between the parties
held in Moscow in June 1997, to continue to intensify the search for a peaceful
settlement of the conflict;

     5.   Reaffirms its support for the more active role for the United Nations
in the peace process, encourages the Secretary-General to continue his efforts
to that end, with the assistance of the Russian Federation as facilitator, and
with the support of the group of Friends of the Secretary-General on Georgia and

                                                                            /...

settlement, and further calls upon them to cooperate fully with the efforts
undertaken by the Secretary-General and his Special Representative, with the
assistance of the Russian Federation as facilitator;

     8.   Welcomes the continuation of direct dialogue between the parties,
calls upon them to intensify the search for a peaceful solution by further
expanding their contacts, requests the Secretary-General to make available all

UNHCR and in accordance with the Quadripartite Agreement, in particular in the
Gali region;

                              RESOLUTION 1129 (1997)

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 3817th meeting,
                                on 12 September 1997

     The Security Council,

     Recalling its previous resolutions and, in particular, its resolutions
986 (1995) of 14 April 1995 and 1111 (1997) of 4 June 1997,

     Reaffirming that the implementation period of resolution 1111 (1997) began
at 00.01, Eastern Daylight Time, on 8 June 1997, and that the export of

petroleum and petroleum products permitted pursuant to resolution 1111 (1997)
during the period 8 June to 13 August 1997,

     Deeply concerned about the resulting humanitarian consequences for the
Iraqi people, since the shortfall in the revenue from the sale of petroleum and
petroleum products will delay the provision of humanitarian relief and create
hardship for the Iraqi people,

     Noting that, as set out in the report of the Committee established by
resolution 661 (1990) (S/1997/692), Iraq will not be able to export petroleum
and petroleum products worth two billion United States dollars by the end of the
period set by resolution 1111 (1997) while complying with the requirement not to
produce a sum exceeding one billion United States dollars every 90 days set out
in paragraph 1 of resolution 986 (1995) and renewed in resolution 1111 (1997),

     Acknowledging the situation with regard to the delivery of humanitarian
goods to Iraq as described in the report of the Secretary-General (S/1997/685)
and encouraging the continuing efforts to improve this situation,

     Stressing the importance of an equitable distribution of humanitarian goods
as called for by paragraph 8 (a) (ii) of resolution 986 (1995),

97-23918 (E)                                                                  /...

     Determined to avoid any further deterioration of the current humanitarian
situation,

     Reaffirming the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty and
territorial integrity of Iraq,

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

     1.   Decides that the provisions of resolution 1111 (1997) shall remain in

transactions directly relating thereto, sufficient to produce a sum not
exceeding a total of one billion United States dollars within a period of
120 days from 00.01, Eastern Daylight Time, on 8 June 1997 and, thereafter, a
sum not exceeding a total of one billion United States dollars within a period
of 60 days from 00.01, Eastern Daylight Time, on 4 October 1997;

     2.   Decides further that the provisions of paragraph 1 above shall apply
only to the period of implementation of resolution 1111 (1997), and expresses
its firm intention that under any future resolutions authorizing States to
permit the import of petroleum and petroleum products originating in Iraq, the
time limits within which imports may be permitted established in such
resolutions shall be strictly enforced;

     3.   Expresses its full support for the intention of the Secretary-General,
stated in his report to the Security Council (S/1997/685), to follow up his
observations concerning the needs of vulnerable groups in Iraq by monitoring the
actions of the Government of Iraq in respect of these groups;

     4.   Stresses that contracts for the purchase of humanitarian supplies
submitted in accordance with resolution 1111 (1997) must be limited to items
which appear on the list of supplies annexed to the second distribution plan
prepared by the Government of Iraq and approved by the Secretary-General
pursuant to paragraph 8 (a) (ii) of resolution 986 (1995), or appropriate
amendments to the plan must be requested prior to purchasing items not on the
annexed list;

                                 on 23 October 1997

     The Security Council,

     Recalling all its previous relevant resolutions, and in particular its
resolutions 687 (1991) of 3 April 1991, 707 (1991) of 15 August 1991, 715 (1991)
of 11 October 1991, 1060 (1996) of 12 June 1996, and 1115 (1997) of
21 June 1997,

     Having considered the report of the Executive Chairman of the Special
Commission dated 6 October 1997 (S/1997/774),

     Expressing grave concern at the report of additional incidents since the
adoption of resolution 1115 (1997) in which access by the Special Commission
inspection teams to sites in Iraq designated for inspection by the Commission
was again denied by the Iraqi authorities,

     Stressing the unacceptability of any attempts by Iraq to deny access to
such sites,

     Taking note of the progress nevertheless achieved by the Special
Commission, as set out in the report of the Executive Chairman, towards the
elimination of Iraq's programme of weapons of mass destruction,

     Reaffirming its determination to ensure full compliance by Iraq with all
its obligations under all previous relevant resolutions and reiterating its
demand that Iraq allow immediate, unconditional and unrestricted access to the
Special Commission to any site which the Commission wishes to inspect, and in
particular allow the Special Commission and its inspection teams to conduct both
fixed wing and helicopter flights throughout Iraq for all relevant purposes
including inspection, surveillance, aerial surveys, transportation and logistics
without interferences of any kind and upon such terms and conditions as may be
determined by the Special Commission, and to make use of their own aircraft and
such airfields in Iraq as they may determine are most appropriate for the work
of the Commission,

97-28387 (E)                                                                   /...

Page 2

     Recalling that resolution 1115 (1997) expresses the Council's firm
intention, unless the Special Commission has advised the Council that Iraq is in
substantial compliance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of that resolution, to impose
additional measures on those categories of Iraqi officials responsible for the
non-compliance,

     Reiterating the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty,
territorial integrity and political independence of Kuwait and Iraq,

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

     1.   Condemns the repeated refusal of the Iraqi authorities, as detailed in
the report of the Executive Chairman of the Special Commission, to allow access
to sites designated by the Special Commission, and especially Iraqi actions
endangering the safety of Special Commission personnel, the removal and
destruction of documents of interest to the Special Commission and interference
with the freedom of movement of Special Commission personnel;

     2.   Decides that such refusals to cooperate constitute a flagrant
violation of Security Council resolutions 687 (1991), 707 (1991), 715 (1991) and
1060 (1996), and notes that the Special Commission in the report of the
Executive Chairman was unable to advise that Iraq was in substantial compliance
with paragraphs 2 and 3 of resolution 1115 (1997);

     3.   Demands that Iraq cooperate fully with the Special Commission in
accordance with the relevant resolutions, which constitute the governing
standard of Iraqi compliance;

     4.   Demands in particular that Iraq without delay allow the Special
Commission inspection teams immediate, unconditional and unrestricted access to
any and all areas, facilities, equipment, records and means of transportation
which they wish to inspect in accordance with the mandate of the Special
Commission, as well as to officials and other persons under the authority of the
Iraqi Government whom the Special Commission wishes to interview so that the
Special Commission may fully discharge its mandate;

     5.   Requests the Chairman of the Special Commission to include in all
future consolidated progress reports prepared under resolution 1051 (1996) an
annex evaluating Iraq's compliance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of resolution
1115 (1997);

     6.   Expresses the firm intention - if the Special Commission reports that
Iraq is not in compliance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of resolution 1115 (1997) or
if the Special Commission does not advise the Council in the report of the
Executive Chairman due on 11 April 1998 that Iraq is in compliance with
paragraphs 2 and 3 of resolution 1115 (1997) - to adopt measures which would
oblige all States to prevent without delay the entry into or transit through
their territories of all Iraqi officials and members of the Iraqi armed forces
who are responsible for or participate in instances of non-compliance with
paragraphs 2 and 3 of resolution 1115 (1997), provided that the entry of a
person into a particular State on a specified date may be authorized by the
Committee established by resolution 661 (1990), and provided that nothing in
this paragraph shall oblige a State to refuse entry into its own territory to

                                                                             /...

its own nationals or persons carrying out bona fide diplomatic assignments or
missions;

     7.   Decides further, on the basis of all incidents related to the
implementation of paragraphs 2 and 3 of resolution 1115 (1997), to begin to
designate, in consultation with the Special Commission, individuals whose entry
or transit would be prevented upon implementation of the measures set out in
paragraph 6 above;

     8.   Decides not to conduct the reviews provided for in paragraphs 21
and 28 of resolution 687 (1991) until after the next consolidated progress
report of the Special Commission, due on 11 April 1998, after which those
reviews will resume in accordance with resolution 687 (1991), beginning on
26 April 1998;

     9.   Reaffirms its full support for the authority of the Special Commission
under its Executive Chairman to ensure the implementation of its mandate under
the relevant resolutions of the Council;

     10.   Decides to remain seized of the matter.

     The Security Council,

     Reaffirming its resolution 696 (1991) of 30 May 1991 and all subsequent
resolutions,

     Expressing its firm commitment to preserve the unity, sovereignty and
territorial integrity of Angola,
