United Nations Security Council Resolution 1029, adopted unanimously on December 12, 1995, after recalling previous resolutions on Rwanda, including Resolution 872 (1993), Resolution 912 (1994), Resolution 918 (1994), Resolution 925 (1994), Resolution 955 (1994), Resolution 965 (1994), Resolution 978 (1995) and Resolution 997 (1995), the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) for a final time, ending March 8, 1996, and adjusted its mandate.[1]

The Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali was then requested to:
Humanitarian assistance to Rwanda was welcomed and urged, and the Secretary-General was asked to report to the Council by February 1, 1996 on the withdrawal of UNAMIR. The resolution was adopted amid calls from Rwanda that the mission leave, and that it had done "nothing to prevent the massacres and they [UNAMIR] did not even assist people in danger".[3]
