Description

Resolution 1057 (1996), Adopted Unanimously, Calls for Implementation of Resolution 338 (1973).

The Security Council this morning renewed the mandate of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) for six months, until 30 November. The Force was established in May 1974 to supervise the cease-fire called for by the Council and the agreement on disengagement between Israeli and Syrian forces of 31 May 1974.

Through its unanimous adoption of resolution 1057 (1996), the Council called on the parties to implement immediately its resolution 338 (1973), and asked the Secretary-General to report on measures taken to implement that text.

Also, through a statement read out by its President, Qin Huasun (China), the Council stated that, despite the present quiet in the Israel-Syria sector, the situation in the Middle East continued to be potentially dangerous and was likely to remain so unless there was a comprehensive settlement of the Middle East problem.
