United Nations Security Council resolution 821, adopted on 28 April 1993, after reaffirming Resolution 713 (1991) and all subsequent resolutions, the Council also recalled resolutions 757 (1992), 777 (1992) and General Assembly Resolution 47/1 (1992) which stated that the state formerly known as the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia had declared to exist and that it should apply for membership in the United Nations and until then should not participate in the General Assembly.

Resolution 821 stated that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) cannot automatically continue the membership of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the United Nations, and therefore recommends to the General Assembly that it decide that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) shall not participate in the work of the United Nations Economic and Social Council, deciding to consider the matter again before the end of the 47th session of the General Assembly.

The resolution was approved by 13 votes to none, with two abstentions from China and Russia.[1]
