Areas controlled by Morocco and the Polisario Front in Western Sahara

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1394, adopted unanimously on February 27, 2002, after reaffirming all previous resolutions on Western Sahara and its commitment to achieve a lasting solution to the dispute, the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) until April 30, 2002.[1]

The Security Council pledged to consider the Secretary-General Kofi Annan's "four options" for the future of the Western Sahara peace process described in his report, noting that both Morocco and Polisario Front had not fully co-operated with the United Nations in the settlement of their dispute.[2] The four options were:[3]

  1. The resumption of the implementation of the Settlement Plan without requiring agreements from both parties;
  2. The Secretary-General's Personal Envoy James A. Baker III would revise the framework agreement which would be presented to the parties on a non-negotiable basis;
  3. The Secretary-General's Personal Envoy James A. Baker III would determine if the parties would discuss a division of Western Sahara;
  4. The termination of the MINURSO operation.
