Council fully supports the efforts of the UNSG, his Special Representative for Western Sahara and his
Personal Envoy, Mr James Baker. It fully supports the Settlement Plan for organising a free, proper and
impartial referendum.

The Council has taken note of the remarks by the United Nations Secretary-General that the timetable
envisaged for the referendum is no longer valid and that the date for the referendum can still not be set
with certainty at this juncture. In this context it welcomes the meetings held on 14 May and 28 June in
London (cid:129) and in more general terms the principle of direct talks between the parties to the conflict given
the complexity of the situation. It hopes that these will respond positively to Mr James Baker(cid:146)s task of
studying ways of reaching a swift, lasting and mutually agreed settlement of their dispute.

In its contacts with the United Nations and the parties to the conflict the Council stresses its willingness to
contribute to this process and to help build a climate of confidence and trust in order to find a solution
based on respect for human rights and democratic principles.
