(1994), the Council noted the deteriorating situation in Haiti
and extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission in Haiti
(UNMIH) until July 31, 1994.
The Council was deeply concerned that the UNMIH mission's deployment was still being obstructed and the failure of the Haitian army
to carry out its responsibilities to allow it to function. It was noted that the Organization of American States
had adopted a resolution requesting the mandate of UNMIH to be strengthened. It was important that the mission was deployed as soon as possible.
The recent escalation of violence, violations of international humanitarian law
and the appointment of the so-called de facto government-III were condemned. Concern was expressed at the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Haiti and the international community
was urged to assist in this regard.
The Council regretted the Haitian military authorities refusal to implement the Governors Island peace agreement, and extended the mandate of UNAVEM II until July 31, 1994. The Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali
was requested to report back to the Security Council by July 15 with recommendations on the strength, composition, cost and duration of UNMIH, also detailing the assistance that the mission could provide to help restore the democratic
government of Haiti and issues relating to security, law enforcement and elections.
Member States were requested to provide troops, police, personnel, equipment and logistical support. The situation in Haiti would be kept under review and any recommendations in the light of new developments would be considered.
