United Nations Security Council Resolution 1063, adopted unanimously on June 28, 1996, after recalling all Security Council and General Assembly resolutions on Haiti and the termination of the United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH) on June 30, 1996 in accordance with Resolution 1048 (1996), the Council decided to establish the United Nations Support Mission in Haiti (UNSMIH) to train a national police force and maintain a stable environment.[1]
The Security Council affirmed the importance of a fully operational professional Haitian police force and a the revitalisation of the legal system. In this regard, UNSMIH was established to maintain a stable environment and assist in the training of a new police force, initially until November 30, 1996.[2] The mission would initially consist of 300 policemen and 600 troops. Haiti also had to quickly receive additional financial support from international institutions for the reconstruction of the country.
Finally, the Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali requested by September 30, 1996 to report on the implementation of the current resolution and to seek further opportunities to reduce the operational costs of UNSMIH.
