The decision to extend MINURSO's mandate was taken after a request by Morocco to further consider the Baker Plan proposed by James Baker III, relating to the self-determination of the territory; the Polisario Front accepted the plan on 6 July 2003.[1] The Secretary-General Kofi Annan was requested to report on the situation at the end of MINURSO's mandate.[2]
