United Nations Security Council resolution 1309, adopted unanimously on 25 July 2000, after recalling all previous resolutions on the question of the Western Sahara, in particular resolutions 1108 (1997), 1292 (2000), 1301 (2000) and 1308 (2000), the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) until 31 October 2000. [1]

Contents

The Security Council reiterated its support for MINURSO to implement the Settlement Plan and agreements by the parties to hold a referendum on self-determination for the people of Western Sahara. It noted that fundamental differences remained between Morocco and the Polisario Front over interpretations of the main provisions of the Settlement Plan, and regretted that no progress was made at meeting in June 2000 held in London.

The mandate of MINURSO was extended on the expectation that would meet under the auspicies of the Secretary-General's Personal Envoy for further discussions to resolve the areas of disagreement. [2] The Secretary-General was asked to provide an assessment of the situation before the end of MINURSO's mandate.
