Resolution

Observations

The Security Council welcomed the stabilising security situation in Sierra Leone and noted that its stability would depend on peace in the region, particularly in Liberia which was experiencing its second civil war.[3] It stressed the importance of establishing authority throughout Sierra Leone, including the diamond fields in addition to the reintegration of ex-combatants, the return of refugees and internally displaced persons and respect for human rights and the rule of law.[4]

Acts

Extending UNAMSIL's mandate for an additional six months, the Council thanked countries contributing to the force and UNAMSIL for adjustments to its size, composition and deployment in accordance with resolutions 1436 (2002) and 1492 (2003).

The resolution stressed that the development of administrative capabilities of the Sierra Leonean government was essential to long-term peace. Additionally, the government was urged to increase control of diamond mining. Meanwhile, the Council expressed concern at the serious financial situation of the Special Court for Sierra Leone and countries were asked to contribute generously to both the Court and Truth and Reconciliation Commission.[3] The presidents of the Mano River Union to resume dialogue and commitments aimed at strengthening regional peace and security.[2]

The Council welcomed the deployment of forces from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to Liberia, supported by UNAMSIL. It demanded that armed groups in Liberia end incursions into Sierra Leone, urging the Sierra Leone Armed Forces and UNAMSIL to patrol the border. Finally, the Secretary-General was to keep the situation in Sierra Leone under review.
