The Security Council,
Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 8 March
1990 (S/21183) on the recent meeting between the leaders of the
two communities in Cyprus and on his assessment of the current
situation,
Recalling its relevant resolutions on Cyprus,
Recalling the statement of the President of the Security Council
of 22 February 1990 (S/21160) calling upon the leaders of the
two communities to demonstrate the necessary goodwill and flexibility
and to cooperate with the Secretary-General so that the talks
will result in a major step forward toward the resolution of the
Cyprus problem,
Expressing its regret that, in the more than 25 years since the
establishment of UNFICYP, it has not been possible to achieve
a negotiated settlement of all aspects of the Cyprus problem,
Concerned that at the recent meeting in New York it has not been
possible to achieve results in arriving at an agreed outline of
an overall agreement,
1. Reaffirms in particular its resolution 367 (1975) as well as
its support for the 1977 and 1979 high-level agreements between
the leaders of the two communities in which they pledged themselves
to establish a bi-communal Federal Republic of Cyprus that will
safeguard its independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity
and non-alignment, and exclude union in whole or in part with
any other country and any form of partition or secession;
2. Expresses its full support for the current effort of the Secretary
General in carrying out his mission of good offices concerning
Cyprus;
3. Calls upon the leaders of the two communities to pursue their
efforts to reach freely a mutually acceptable solution providing
for the establishment of a federation that will be bi-communal
as regards the constitutional aspects and bi-zonal as regards
the territorial aspects in line with the present resolution and
their 1977 and 1979 high-level agreements, and to cooperate, on
an equal footing, with the Secretary General in completing, in
the first instance and on an urgent basis, an outline of an overall
agreement, as agreed in June 1989;
4. Requests the Secretary-General to pursue his mission of good
offices in order to achieve the earliest possible progress and,
toward this end, to assist the two communities by making suggestions
to facilitate the discussions;
5. Calls on the parties concerned to refrain from any action that
could aggravate the situation;
6. Decides to remain actively seized of the situation and the
current effort;
7. Requests the Secretary-General to inform the Council in his
report due by 31 May 1990 of the progress made in resuming the
intensive talks and in developing an agreed outline of an overall
agreement in line with the present resolution.
