United Nations
Security Council Resolution
795, adopted on December 11, 1992, after expressing concern about possible developments which could undermine confidence and stability in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
and welcoming the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe
(OSCE) mission in Macedonia, the Council recalled Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter
and authorised the Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali
to deploy a presence of the United Nations Protection Force
(UNPROFOR) in the border areas of Macedonia.
The UNPROFOR "Macedonian Command" would monitor parts of the border areas with Albania
and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro); strengthen the country's stability by providing a preventative force; and reporting on developments that may constitute a threat to Macedonia.
The Council requested the Secretary-General to deploy the military, civil affairs, and administrative personnel recommended in his report immediately, upon receiving the consent of the Government of the Republic of Macedonia, urging co-operation with the OSCE mission already there. The military personnel would monitor the border to ensure the conflict in other parts of Yugoslavia
did not spill over, while the civilian police contingent would work with local police to maintain order and protect human rights
