Resolution

Observations

The Security Council reaffirmed its support for the peace process between the two countries and the full implementation of the Algiers Agreement and decision of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) which was important for lasting peace in the region.

It reaffirmed the integrity of and respect for the Temporary Security Zone (TSZ), and commended UNMEE for operating under difficult circumstances.

Acts

The mandate of UNMEE was extended by four months. The Council demanded that Eritrea comply with Resolution 1640 by lifting restrictions on UNMEE's movement and operations while Ethiopia had to accept the ruling of the Ethiopia-Eritrea Boundary Commission decision on the mutual border. Furthermore, both Ethiopia and Eritrea had to exercise maximum restraint and refrain from threats and the use of force.

Meanwhile, the Council called on all parties to fully co-operate with the EEBC in the demarcation process and to provide UNMEE with the necessary assistance, support, protection and access required. If Ethiopia and Eritrea had not complied with the Council's demands by January 31, 2007, UNMEE would be transformed or reconfigured if necessary; in this regard, the situation would be reviewed by November 30, 2006 in order to prepare for possible changes.

The international community was requested to provide continued support for UNMEE and contributions towards the trust fund established in Resolution 1177 (1998).
