Summary
Decides to extend the mandate of UNFICYP for a further period ending on 31 Dec. 1997; underlines the importance of agreement by both sides to the reciprocal measures for the reduction of tension along the ceasefire lines proposed by UNFICYP as set forth in its resolution 1092 (1996), deeply regrets the fact that, in spite of the efforts of UNFICYP, neither side has so far accepted such measures as a package, and reiterates its call on both sides to do so without further delay or preconditions; calls again upon all concerned to commit themselves to a reduction in defence spending and a reduction in the number of foreign troops in the Republic of Cyprus to help restore confidence between the parties, stresses the importance of eventual demilitarization of the Republic of Cyprus as a objective in the context of an overall comprehensive settlement, and calls upon the Secretary-General to promote efforts in this direction; welcomes the decision of the Secretary-General to launch a sustained process of direct negotiations between the leaders of the 2 Cypriot communities with the aim of securing such a settlement; calls upon those leaders to commit themselves to this process of negotiations, including participation in the 1st session of such negotiations to be held 9-13 July 1997, urges them to cooperate actively and constructively with the Secretary-General and his Special Adviser on Cyprus, Diego Cordovez, to that end, and stresses that full support of all concerned is necessary for this process to produce results; requests the Secretary-General to keep under review the structure and strength of UNFICYP with a view to its possible restructuring, and to present any new considerations he may have in this regard and to submit a report by 10 Dec. 1997 on the implementation of this resolution.
