Summary
Decides to extend the mandate of UNFICYP for a further period ending on 30 June 1997; deplores the violent incidents of 11 and 14 Aug., 8 Sept. and 15 Oct. 1996, which resulted in the tragic deaths of 3 Greek Cypriot civilians and 1 member of the Turkish Cypriot Security Forces, as well as injuries to civilians and UNFICYP personnel, in particular the unnecessary and disproportionate use of force by the Turkish/Turkish Cypriot side, as well as the largely passive role played by the Cypriot police in response to civilian demonstrations; reminds both sides of their obligation to prevent violence directed against UNFICYP personnel; emphasizes the need to maintain law and order and, in this context, demands that both parties prevent unauthorized incursions into the buffer zone and respond immediately and responsibly to any demonstrations which violate the buffer zone and any demonstrations near the buffer zone that might lead to an increase in tensions; calls upon the military authorities on both sides: (a) to clear all minefields and booby-trapped areas inside the buffer zone without further delay, as requested by UNFICYP; (b) to cease military construction in the immediate vicinity of the buffer zone; (c) to refrain from any military exercises alo ng the buffer zone; welcomes the efforts of the Special Representative to prepare the ground for open-ended direct negotiations in the 1st half of 1997 between the leaders of the 2 communities; calls upon the parties to cooperate with the Special Representative to that end, as well as with his intensified preparatory work in the first months of 1997 with the objective of clarifying the main elements of an overall settlement; requests the Secretary-General to keep under review the structure and strength of UNFICYP with a view to its possible restructuring.
