United Nations Security Council Resolution 1118, adopted unanimously on June 30, 1997, after reaffirming Resolution 696 (1991) and all subsequent resolutions on Angola, the Council established the United Nations Observer Mission in Angola (MONUA) to supersede the United Nations Angola Verification Mission III (UNAVEM III).[1]
The Security Council recognised the important contribution that UNAVEM III peacekeepers had made to the peace process in Angola. Meanwhile, a government of national unity and reconciliation was formed in which UNITA was included. Both parties had to continue with the implementation of the remaining political and military tasks, while concern was expressed at UNITA attacks on UNAVEM III personnel and tension in the northeastern provinces.
It was then decided that, from July 1, 1997, MONUVA would be established for an initial period ending on October 31, 1997, with the expectation that the mission would terminate by February 1, 1998. MONUA was also given responsibility for all components of UNAVEM III that still remained in Angola. Both the Government of Angola and UNITA were called upon to refrain from violence and inform MONUA of all troop movements.[2] It also demanded that UNITA provide the Joint Commission complete information with regard to its military forces, including the security detachment of the leader of the largest opposition party, the so-called "mining police", armed UNITA personnel returning from outside the national boundaries, and any other armed UNITA personnel not previously reported to the United Nations, so that they could be disarmed and demobilised.
The Secretary-General Kofi Annan was requested to report on the situation by August 15, 1997.
