United Nations Security Council Resolution 550, adopted on May 11, 1984, after hearing representations from the Republic of Cyprus and reaffirming resolutions 365 (1974), 367 (1975), 541 (1983) and Resolution 544 (1983), the Council condemned the illegal secessionist activities in the Northern part of Cyprus from Turkey, in violation of the previous resolutions.

The Council then called on other Member States not to recognise Northern Cyprus, condemning the exchange of ambassadors between Turkey and Northern Cyprus and considering all attempts to interfere with the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus contrary to Security Council resolutions. Finally, the resolution also called for the Secretary-General to promote the implementation of the current resolution.

The resolution was adopted by 13 votes to one against (Pakistan) and one abstention from the United States.
