Summary
Decides to extend the mandate of MINURSO until 31 Jan. 1999 to allow for further consultations in the hope that those consultations will lead to agreement on the various protocols without undermining the integrity of the Secretary-General's proposed package or calling into question its main elements; calls upon the parties and the interested States to sign as soon as possible the proposed refugee repatriation protocol with the Office of UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), urges the Government of Morocco to formalize the presence of UNHCR in the Territory, and requests both parties to take concrete action to enable UNHCR to carry out the necessary preparatory work for the repatriation of Saharan refugees eligible to vote, and their immediate families, according to the Settlement Plan; urges the Government of Morocco promptly to sign a status-of-forces agreement with the Secretary-General as an indispensable condition for the full and timely deployment of MINURSO-formed military units; requests the Secretary-General to report to the Council by 22 Jan. 1999 on the implementation of this resolution and on the progress in the implementation of the Settlement Plan and the agreements reached between the parties, and further requests him to keep the Council regularly informed of all significant developments including, as appropriate, a reassessment by the Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General of the continuing viability of the mandate of MINURSO.
