Contents

The Security Council deplored the numerous violations of the ceasefire, continuing hostilities and lack of dialogue. There were agreements reached to stop the fighting and the country had to support the MONUC mission. The humanitarian situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the serious consequences of the conflict on neighbouring countries concerned the council. There was also concern about the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS among women and girls by the conflict, the deployment of child soldiers and difficulty assisting refugees.

All parties to Lusaka Ceasefire Agreement were asked to cease hostilities and intensify negotiations. The Democratic Republic of the Congo was asked to co-operate with MONUC and implement the provisions of the Status of Forces Agreement. The resolution endorsed the proposal of the Secretary-General Kofi Annan to send additional military observers to the region, and he was called upon to submit a report on ways to address the situation in border areas near Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. [2]

It called for the withdrawal of Rwandan and Ugandan forces and other foreign troops from the country. Furthermore, all parties were called upon to respect human rights and to ensure that no more child soldiers were used in the armed conflict. The council also called on all parties to take forward the disarmament, demobilisation, reintegration and repatriation/settlement of all armed groups, in particular the National Council for the Defense of Democracy-Forces for the Defense of Democracy (FDD), the Rwandan ex-FAR/Interahamwe and the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF).

Finally, the parties were invited to co-operate with the panel of experts to investigate the illegal exploitation of Congolese natural resources. The adoption of the Resolution 1332 led to the return of 165 Congolese children to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). [3]

The United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or MONUSCO, an acronym based on its French name Mission de l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour la stabilisation en République démocratique du Congo, is a United Nations peacekeeping force in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) which was established by the United Nations Security Council in resolutions 1279 (1999) and 1291 (2000) to monitor the peace process of the Second Congo War, though much of its focus subsequently turned to the Ituri conflict, the Kivu conflict and the Dongo conflict. The mission was known as the United Nations Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo or MONUC, an acronym of its French name Mission de l'Organisation des Nations Unies en République démocratique du Congo, until 2010.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Operation Artemis</span>

Operation Artemis, formally European Union Force Democratic Republic of the Congo (EUFOR), was a short-term European Union-led UN-authorised military mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo during the Ituri conflict. ARTEMIS is considered the first military operation led by the EU, the first autonomous EU operation, the first rapid response mission of the EU, first operation outside Europe, first operation applying the principle of the framework nation and first example of "relay operation", conducted in cooperation between the EU and the United Nations. The deployment of EUFOR troops quickly decreased the conflict's intensity. It marked the first autonomous EU military mission outside Europe and an important milestone in development of the European Security and Defence Policy.

The Lusaka Ceasefire Agreement attempted to end the Second Congo War through a ceasefire, release of prisoners of war, and the deployment of an international peacekeeping force under the auspices of the United Nations. The heads of state of Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Namibia, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe signed the agreement in Lusaka, Zambia on July 10, 1999.
