Representante Especial del Secretario General y al Comisionado de la IPTF,

delincuencia organizada y la fiscalización de drogas, como se señala en el
informe del Secretario General,

     Reconociendo que el éxito de la reestructuración de la policía en Bosnia y
Herzegovina está estrechamente vinculado a la reforma judicial complementaria, y
tomando nota del informe del Alto Representante de 9 de abril de 1998
(S/1998/314), en el que se destaca el carácter prioritario de la reforma
judicial para el logro de nuevos progresos,

     Soulignant qu’il importe de plus en plus, comme il est indiqué dans le
rapport du Secrétaire général, d’assurer une formation spécialisée à la police
locale en Bosnie-Herzégovine, en particulier dans le domaine de la gestion des
incidents critiques et de la lutte contre la corruption, le crime organisé et la
drogue,

     Considérant que le bon déroulement de la réforme de la police en
Bosnie-Herzégovine est étroitement lié à une réforme connexe de l’appareil
judiciaire et prenant acte du rapport du Haut Représentant en date du
9 avril 1998 (S/1998/314), dans lequel celui-ci souligne que la réforme du
système judiciaire est un domaine prioritaire où des progrès supplémentaires
devront être faits,

     1.   Décide d’autoriser que les effectifs du GIP soient augmentés de
30 policiers, pour les porter à 2 057;

     2.   Appuie les améliorations apportées à tous les aspects de la gestion du
GIP par le Secrétaire général, son Représentant spécial ainsi que le Chef et le
personnel du GIP en Bosnie-Herzégovine, souligne qu’il importe de poursuivre les
réformes dans ce domaine et, à cet égard, encourage vivement le Secrétaire
général à apporter d’autres améliorations au GIP, notamment en ce qui concerne
la gestion du personnel;

     3.   Engage les États Membres à redoubler d’efforts pour fournir, à titre
de contributions volontaires et en coordination avec le GIP, une formation, du
matériel et une assistance connexe au profit des forces de police locales en
Bosnie-Herzégovine;

     4.   Considère que la mise en place d’une capacité locale en matière de
sécurité publique est essentielle au renforcement de l’état de droit en
Bosnie-Herzégovine, décide d’examiner promptement un programme de surveillance
du fonctionnement des tribunaux qui serait exécuté sous la direction de la
MINUBH dans le cadre d’un programme général de réforme du système judiciaire,
tel que le propose le Bureau du Haut Représentant, et prie le Secrétaire général
de présenter des recommandations quant à la possibilité d’utiliser autant que
possible du personnel recruté localement et de faire appel à des contributions
volontaires;

     5.   Décide de rester saisi de la question.

Implementation Conference held in Bonn on 9 and 10 December 1997 (S/1997/979,
annex),

     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 12 March 1998
(S/1998/227 and Add.1), and taking note of his observations and the planning
outlined in paragraphs 37 to 46 of that report,

     Reaffirming its full support for the High Representative and his staff and
his responsibility in implementing the civilian aspects of the General Framework
Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Annexes thereto
(collectively the Peace Agreement, S/1995/999, annex),

     Emphasizing the increasing importance of specialized training for local
police in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially in the areas of critical incident
management, corruption, organized crime and drug control, as outlined in the
report of the Secretary-General,

     Acknowledging that success in the area of police reform in Bosnia and
Herzegovina is closely linked to complementary judicial reform, and taking note
of the report of the High Representative of 9 April 1998 (S/1998/314), which
emphasizes that judicial reform is a priority for further progress,

     1.   Decides to authorize an increase in the strength of the IPTF by
30 posts, to a total authorized strength of 2,057;

     2.   Supports the improvements in the overall management of the IPTF
undertaken by the Secretary-General, his Special Representatives, and the IPTF
Commissioners and personnel in Bosnia and Herzegovina, stresses the importance
of continued reforms in this area, and in this regard strongly encourages the
Secretary-General to make further improvements to the IPTF, in particular with
regard to personnel management issues;

     3.   Encourages Member States to intensify their efforts to provide, on a
voluntary funded basis and in coordination with the IPTF, training, equipment
and related assistance for local police forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina;

     4.   Recognizes that establishing an indigenous public security capability
is essential to strengthening the rule of law in Bosnia and Herzegovina, agrees
to consider expeditiously an UNMIBH-led court monitoring programme as part of an
overall programme of legal reform as outlined by the Office of the High
Representative, and requests the Secretary-General to submit recommendations on
the possibility of utilizing locally hired personnel as far as is practical and
of voluntary funding;

     5.   Decides to remain seized of the matter.
