(UNMIBH) for a period until 21 June 2002 and authorised states participating in the
NATO
-led
Stabilisation Force
(SFOR) to continue to do so for a further twelve months.
[1]
The security council underlined the importance of the
Dayton Agreement
(General Framework Agreement) and the importance that
Croatia
, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (
Serbia and Montenegro
) and other states had to play in the peace process in
Bosnia and Herzegovina
. The situation continued to constitute a threat to peace and security and the council was determined to promote a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
Acting under
Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter
, the council reminded the authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and others of their responsibility to implement the Dayton Agreement.
[2]
It emphasised the role of the
High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina
to monitor its implementation. It also attached importance to co-operation with the
International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
.
The security council commended the countries participating in SFOR to continue their operations for an additional twelve months; it would be extended beyond this date if warranted by the situation in the country. It also authorised the use of necessary measures, including that of the use of force and
self-defense
, to ensure compliance with the agreements and the safety and
freedom of movement
of SFOR personnel. At the same time, the
mandate
of UNMIBH, which included that of the
International Police Task Force
(IPTF), was extended until 21 June 2002. Countries were urged to provide training, equipment and support to local police forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Secretary-General
Kofi Annan
was requested to submit reports from the
High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina
.
