(S/PRST/1996/9) strongly deploring the shooting down by the Cuban Air Force of
two civil aircraft on 24 February 1996, which resulted in the death of four
persons, and requesting the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to
investigate this incident in its entirety and to report its findings to the
Security Council,

     Noting the resolution adopted by the Council of ICAO on 6 March 1996 which
strongly deplored the shooting down of the two civil aircraft and which directed
the Secretary-General of ICAO to initiate an immediate investigation of the
incident in its entirety in accordance with the Security Council Presidential
Statement of 27 February 1996 and to report on that investigation,

     Commending ICAO for its examination of this incident and welcoming the

     Welcoming also the report of the Secretary-General of ICAO regarding the
shooting down of civil aircraft N2456S and N5485S by Cuban MIG-29 military
aircraft, and noting in particular the conclusions of the report,

     Recalling the principle that every State has complete and exclusive
sovereignty over the airspace above its territory, and that the territory of a
State shall be deemed to be the land areas and territorial waters adjacent
thereto and noting in this connection that States shall be guided by the
principles, rules, standards and recommended practices laid down in the
Convention on International Civil Aviation of 7 December 1944 and its annexes
(the Chicago Convention), including the rules relating to the interception of
civil aircraft, and the principle, recognized under customary international law,

by the Council of ICAO on 27 June 1996;

     2.   Notes that the unlawful shooting down by the Cuban Air Force of two

sympathy and condolences to the bereaved families of the victims of this tragic

civil aviation law and related internationally agreed procedures, including the
rules and standards and recommended practices set out in the Chicago Convention;

     5.   Reaffirms the principle that each State shall take appropriate
measures to prohibit the deliberate use of any civil aircraft registered in that
State or operated by an operator who has his principal place of business or
permanent residence in that State for any purpose inconsistent with the aims of
the Chicago Convention;

     6.   Condemns the use of weapons against civil aircraft in flight as being
incompatible with elementary considerations of humanity, the rules of customary
international law as codified in article 3 bis of the Chicago Convention, and
the standards and recommended practices set out in the annexes of the Convention
and calls upon Cuba to join other States in complying with their obligations
under these provisions;

     7.   Urges all States which have not yet done so to ratify as soon as
possible the Protocol adding article 3 bis to the Chicago Convention, and to
comply with all the provisions of the article pending the entry into force of
the Protocol;

the safety-related aspects of the report of the investigation with regard to the
adequacy of standards and recommended practices and other rules relating to
interception of civil aircraft with a view to preventing the recurrence of a
similar tragic event;

     9.   Decides to remain seized of the matter.

     The Security Council,

     Recalling its resolutions 1044 (1996) of 31 January 1996 and 1054 (1996) of
26 April 1996,

     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 10 July 1996

     Taking note of the letters of 31 May 1996 (S/1996/402), 24 June 1996
(S/1996/464) and 2 July 1996 (S/1996/513) from the Permanent Representative of
the Sudan,

     Gravely alarmed at the terrorist assassination attempt on the life of the
President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on
26 June 1995, and convinced that those responsible for that act must be brought
to justice,

     Taking note that the statements of the Central Organ of the Organization of
African Unity (OAU) Mechanism for Conflict Prevention, Management and Resolution
of 11 September 1995, and of 19 December 1995 (S/1996/10, annexes I and II)
considered the attempt on the life of President Mubarak as aimed, not only at
the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, and not only at the sovereignty,
integrity and stability of Ethiopia, but also at Africa as a whole,

the requests of the Central Organ of the OAU set out in those statements,

compliance with the requests of the Central Organ of the OAU, and regretting
that the Government of Sudan has not responded adequately to the efforts of the

     Deeply alarmed that the Government of Sudan has failed to comply with the
requests set out in paragraph 4 of resolution 1044 (1996) as reaffirmed in
paragraph 1 of resolution 1054 (1996),

     Reaffirming that the suppression of acts of international terrorism,
including those in which States are involved is essential for the maintenance of
international peace and security,

     Determining that the non-compliance by the Government of Sudan with the
requests set out in paragraph 4 of resolution 1044 (1996) as reaffirmed in
paragraph 1 of resolution 1054 (1996) constitutes a threat to international
peace and security,

     Determined to eliminate international terrorism and to ensure the effective
implementation of resolutions 1044 (1996) and 1054 (1996), and to that end
acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,

     1.   Demands once again that the Government of Sudan comply fully and
without further delay with the requests set out in paragraph 4 of resolution
1044 (1996) as reaffirmed in paragraph 1 of resolution 1054 (1996);

public authorities of Sudan, or by an undertaking, wherever located or
organized, which is substantially owned or controlled by the Government or
public authorities of Sudan;

     4.   Further decides that it shall, 90 days after the date of adoption of
this resolution, determine the date of entry into force of the provisions set
out in paragraph 3 above and all aspects of the modalities of its
implementation, unless the Council decides before then, on the basis of a report
presented by the Secretary-General, on the compliance of Sudan with the demand
in paragraph 1 above;

     5.   Requests the Secretary-General, by 15 November 1996, to submit a
report on the compliance of Sudan with the provisions of paragraph 1 above;

     6.   Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.

     Welcoming the increasing restoration of Monrovia as a safe haven,

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

     Recognizing the positive role of ECOWAS in its efforts to restore peace,
security and stability in Liberia,

     Expressing its appreciation to those African States contributing troops to
the ECOWAS Monitoring Group (ECOMOG),

     Commending also those Member States that have supported the peace process,
UNOMIL, and ECOMOG, including through contributions to the United Nations trust
fund for Liberia,

including support for the election process, disarmament, demobilization, and
verification of compliance by the factions;

     6.   Further decides to maintain UNOMIL deployments at an appropriate level
as recommended in the report of the Secretary-General and requests that the
Secretary-General take into account the need to ensure the security of UNOMIL
personnel and advise the Council of any planned further deployments;

     7.   Stresses that the continued support of the international community for
the peace process in Liberia, including the participation of UNOMIL, is
contingent on the Liberian factions’ demonstrating their commitment to resolve
their differences peacefully and to achieve national reconciliation in
accordance with the agreement reached in Abuja on 17 August 1996;

also the human rights aspect of UNOMIL’s mandate;

                                                                               /...

     2.   Expresses deep concern at the lack of significant progress in the
peace process over the past three months;

demobilization of UNITA personnel from the quartering areas has set the process
behind schedule so that progress will be made more difficult by the onset of the
rainy season;

     4.   Stresses that it is imperative that UNITA personnel be moved rapidly
from the quartering areas, in light of the strains which the prolonged presence
of UNITA personnel in quartering areas is placing on the political process, on
morale in the camps, and on United Nations finances, and in light of the need to
reintegrate expeditiously into the civilian community those not selected for
incorporation into the Angolan Armed Forces (FAA);

particular on the part of UNITA, in implementing the successive timetables for

provisions of the Lusaka Protocol, and encourages the Government of Angola to
continue making progress in that direction;

     7.   Acknowledges as positive steps the arrival in Luanda of UNITA generals

areas, the surrender of additional heavy weapons in September, the selection of
approximately 10,000 UNITA troops for incorporation into the FAA, the beginning
of the demobilization of underaged personnel on 24 September 1996 and the
