Summary
Decides to extend the mandate of UNAVEM until 28 Feb. 1997; authorizes the Secretary-General to commence the gradual and progressive withdrawal of its formed military units prior to Feb. 1997 and to accelerate the withdrawal schedule subsequently, without putting at risk the successful completion of the peace process; calls upon the Uniao Nacional para a Independencia Total de Angola (UNITA) to cooperate with the Government of Angola in creating integrated Angolan Armed Forces (FAA) and police units which would begin the extension of State administration into areas formerly occupied by UNITA; urges the 2 parties to reach agreement on the special status of the President of UNITA as the President of the largest opposition party before 31 Dec. 1996, without linkage of that issue to the formation of a Government of National Unity and Reconciliation; requests the Secretary-General to continue planning for a follow-on UN presence which would include military observers, police observers, a political component, human rights monitors and a Special Representative, with the aim of maintaining a limited UN presence in Angola; and expresses its readiness to consider the possibility of sending a Security Council mission to Angola before the expiry of the mandate of UNAVEM III.
