Contents

The Security Council reaffirmed the need for a durable and mutual solution to the Western Sahara problem, which would provide for the self-determination of the people of the territory. Both Morocco and the Polisario Front were urged to co-operate with the United Nations to end the political impasse and reach a solution to the long-running dispute. The Polisario Front was further called upon to release all prisoners of war in accordance with international humanitarian law while it, along with Morocco, had to co-operate with the International Committee of the Red Cross to determine the fate of missing persons. [2] All military agreements concluded with MINURSO had to be respected.

Meanwhile, the Secretary-General Kofi Annan was requested to report on the situation and MINURSO, including a review of its structure. Member States were called upon to consider contributing towards confidence-building measures to facilitate greater person-to-person contact, such as family visits.
