United Nations Security Council resolution 1118, adopted unanimously on 30 June 1997, after reaffirming Resolution 696 (1991) and all subsequent resolutions on Angola, the council established the United Nations Observer Mission in Angola (MONUA) to supersede the United Nations Angola Verification Mission III (UNAVEM III). [1]

Contents

The security council recognised the important contribution that UNAVEM III peacekeepers had made to the peace process in Angola. Meanwhile, a government of national unity and reconciliation was formed in which UNITA was included. Both parties had to continue with the implementation of the remaining political and military tasks, while concern was expressed at UNITA attacks on UNAVEM III personnel and tension in the northeastern provinces.

It was then decided that, from 1 July 1997, MONUVA would be established for an initial period ending on 31 October 1997, with the expectation that the mission would terminate by 1 February 1998. MONUA was also given responsibility for all components of UNAVEM III that still remained in Angola. Both the Government of Angola and UNITA were called upon to refrain from violence and inform MONUA of all troop movements. [2] It also demanded that UNITA provide the Joint Commission complete information with regard to its military forces, including the security detachment of the leader of the largest opposition party, the so-called "mining police", armed UNITA personnel returning from outside the national boundaries, and any other armed UNITA personnel not previously reported to the United Nations, so that they could be disarmed and demobilised.

The Secretary-General Kofi Annan was requested to report on the situation by 15 August 1997.

The United Nations Angola Verification Mission II, established May 1991 and lasting until February 1995, was the second United Nations peacekeeping mission, of a total of four, deployed to Angola during the course of the Angolan Civil War, the longest war in modern African history. Specifically, the mission was established to oversee and maintain the multilateral ceasefire of 1990 and the subsequent Bicesse Accords in 1991, which instituted an electoral process for the first time including the two rival factions of the civil war, the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), the de facto government of Angola, with control of Luanda and most of the country since independence in 1975, and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA).
