               Security Council                                                Distr.: General
                                                                               21 December 2011




               Resolution 2028 (2011)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 6693rd meeting, on
               21 December 2011

                    The Security Council,
                    Noting with concern that the situation in the Middle East is tense and is likely
               to remain so, unless and until a comprehensive settlement covering all aspects of the
               Middle East problem can be reached,
                     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations
               Disengagement Observer Force of 30 November 2011 (S/2011/748), and also
               reaffirming its resolution 1308 (2000) of 17 July 2000,
                    Expressing grave concern at the serious events that occurred in UNDOF’s area
               of operations on 15 May and 5 June that put the long-held ceasefire in jeopardy,
                     Noting that evolving conditions in the region could have an impact on the
               functioning of the Force,
                    1.   Calls upon the parties concerned to implement immediately its resolution
               338 (1973) of 22 October 1973;
                    2.    Calls on all parties to cooperate fully with the operations of UNDOF and
               to ensure the security of as well as unhindered and immediate access for the United
               Nations personnel carrying out their mandate, in conformity with existing
               agreements;
                    3.     Recalls the obligation on both parties to fully respect the terms of the
               1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement, and calls on the parties to exercise
               maximum restraint and prevent any breaches of the ceasefire and the area of
               separation;
                     4.   Welcomes the efforts being undertaken by the United Nations
               Disengagement Observer Force to implement the Secretary-General’s zero-tolerance
               policy on sexual exploitation and abuse and to ensure full compliance of its
               personnel with the United Nations code of conduct, requests the Secretary-General
               to continue to take all necessary action in this regard and to keep the Security
               Council informed, and urges troop-contributing countries to take preventive and
               disciplinary action to ensure that such acts are properly investigated and punished in
               cases involving their personnel;

                    5. Welcomes the Secretary-General’s assessment of the operational capacity
               of UNDOF and requests that he take steps to immediately implement the
               recommendations as outlined in paragraph 12 of S/2011/748;
                    6.   Decides to renew the mandate of the United Nations Disengagement
               Observer Force for a period of six months, that is, until 30 June 2012;
                     7.   Requests the Secretary-General to submit, at the end of this period, a
               report on developments in the situation and the measures taken to implement
               resolution 338 (1973).
