RESOLUTION 793 (1992)

Adopted by the Security Council at its 3144th meeting,
on 30 November 1992

 

The Security Council,

Recalling its resolutions 696 (1991) of 30 May 1991, 747 (1992) of
24 March 1992 and 785 (1992) of 30 October 1992,

Taking note of the further report of the Secretary-General of
25 November 1992 (S/24858 and Add.1),

Deeply concerned by deterioration in the political and military situation
in Angola and especially by the troop movements which have taken place and by
the hostilities which occurred on 31 October and 1 November 1992,

Welcoming and supporting the efforts of the Secretary-General and his
Special Representative aimed at resolving the present crisis,

Disturbed by the continuing non-implementation of major aspects of the
“Acordos de Paz para Angola",

Reiterating its support for the statement by the Special Representative
of the Secretary-General that the elections held on 29 and 30 September 1992
were generally free and fair and taking note of the acceptance by UNITA of the
results of the elections,

Noting the intention of the Secretary-General to continue, in this as in
other peace-keeping operations, to monitor expenditures carefully during this
period of increasing demands on peace-keeping resources,

1, Approves the recommendation of the Secretary-General to extend the
existing mandate of UNAVEM II for a further period of two months until
31 January 1993;

2. Appeals to the troop and police contributing States to lend
cooperation to UNAVEM II in order to restore as soon as possible its mandated
strength;

3. Welcomes the joint declaration of the Government of Angola and UNITA
made in Namibe on 26 November 1992 and urges them to take immediate and
effective actions in accordance with the declaration;

4. Demands that the two parties scrupulously observe the cease-fire,
immediately stop all military confrontations, and in particular offensive
troop movements, and create all the conditions necessary for the completion of
the peace process;

5. Urges the two parties to demonstrate their adherence to, and
fulfilment without exception of, the "Acordos de Paz" in particular with
regard to the confinement of their troops and collection of their weapons,
demobilization and the formation of the unified national armed force and to
refrain from any action which might heighten tension or jeopardize the return
to normalcy;

6. Strongly appeals to the two parties to engage in a continuous and
meaningful dialogue aimed at national reconciliation and at the participation
of all parties in the democratic process and to agree on a clear timetable for
the fulfilment of their commitments in accordance with the “Acordos de Paz";

7. Reaffirms that it will hold responsible any party which refuses to
take part in such a dialogue, thereby jeopardizing the entire process, and
reiterates its readiness to consider all appropriate measures under the
Charter of the United Nations to secure implementation of the "“Acordos de Paz";

8. Calls on all States to refrain from any action which directly or
indirectly could jeopardize the implementation of the “Acordos de Paz" and
increase the tension in the country;

9. Requests the Secretary-General to submit to it by 31 January 1993 a
further report on the situation in Angola together with his longer-term
recommendations for the further role of the United Nations in the peace
process, which should be clearly defined in scope and time and based on a wide
degree of support in Angola;

10. Decides to remain seized of the question.
