The Security Council welcomed the Abuja Agreement signed on 19 August 1995 which supplemented the prior Cotonou and Akosombo agreements and provided the basis for further actions by the council. [2] There was also a new State Council, a ceasefire in place, the beginning of the disengagement of forces and a timetable for the implementation of various aspects of the agreement. It was noted that, with the signing of the Abuja Accord, that additional troops from the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) and further equipment and logistic support would also be required to ensure its deployment throughout the entire country.

The mandate of UNOMIL was increased until 31 January 1996, and the intention of the Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali to deploy an additional 42 military observers was welcomed, stressing that any further increase would depend on progress on the ground. [3] At the same time, Boutros-Ghali's intention to submit recommendations on improving co-operation between UNOMIL and ECOMOG and the implementation of its mandate was welcomed. Member states were asked to provide additional funds to the peace process and to provide additional support to ECOMOG.

The secretary-general was then requested, in conjunction with the chairman of the Economic Community of West African States, to convene a conference that would raise the resources needed by ECOMOG and for the overall peace process in Liberia. All groups in the country were urged to respect the status of UNOMIL, ECOMOG and humanitarian aid agencies, while all countries were urged to observe the arms embargo against Liberia imposed in Resolution 788 (1992) and highlight violations of it to the committee established in Resolution 985 (1995). Furthermore, the Liberian parties were called upon to respect international humanitarian law, and the Organisation of African Unity was urged to continue its efforts in the country.
