Resolution

Observations

The Security Council reaffirmed its support for the Linas-Marcoussis Agreement and its full implementation. It commended the African Union, Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and French forces for their efforts to promote a peaceful settlement in Côte d'Ivoire, but noted existing challenges to the stability of the country and its threat to international peace and security in the region.

There was concern that some peacekeeping troops deployed in African countries had engaged in misconduct.

Acts

Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Council demanded that all signatories to the Pretoria Agreement implement it fully, threatening sanctions against those who did not comply as described in Resolution 1572 (2004). The role of former South African President Thabo Mbeki in the mediation efforts was praised.

The Council was satisfied that the Ivorian parties had agreed to hold presidential elections in October 2005 and demanded that the elections should be free, fair and transparent. The Secretary-General Kofi Annan was asked to appoint a Special Representative to monitor the conduct of these elections.

The resolution also extended the mandate of UNOCI and supporting French forces until 24 June 2005, and for the Secretary-General to make arrangements for an increase in the strength of UNOCI.[2] Finally, the Secretary-General, African Union and France were asked to keep the Council updated on the situation in Côte d'Ivoire.

gollark: Not phrased that way, but you know.
gollark: I made a hatchery which stopped sickness (kind of) by taking out eggs at unsafe view levels, and TJ09 just decided "this goes against the grand vision, I must stop it".
gollark: Removing sickness is probably *easier* than keeping it, but it goes against the Grand TJ09 Vision.
gollark: As long as DC has sickness and a system of view-an-image-to-hatch/sicken-stuff, it will not be possible to prevent viewbombing, outside of weird edge cases.
gollark: I mean, it'd be *possible* to stick logins on hatcheries; that wouldn't actually fix it all though.
