United Nations Operation in Mozambique

Following the signing of the General Peace Agreement between the
government of Mozambique and the Resistencia Nacional Mocambicana
(RENAMO) in Rome on 4 October 1992, the United Nations was given
the central role in implementing the accords. On 13 October
1992, the United Nations Security Council adopted resolution 782
(1992), by which it established the United Nations Operation in
Mozambique (ONUMOZ). The four major areas of responsibility of
ONUMOZ are Political, Military, Electoral and Humanitarian.
