Security Council Resolution
807, adopted unanimously on February 19, 1993, after reaffirming Resolution 743
(1992) and all subsequent relevant resolutions concerning the United Nations Protection Force
(UNPROFOR), the Council determined that the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina
and Croatia
continued to constitute a threat to international peace and security and therefore extended the mandate of UNPROFOR for an interim period ending March 31, 1993.
The current resolution demanded that all parties and others concerned co-operate with UNPROFOR and adhere to commitments to the ceasefire
, as well as asking parties not to position their forces close to UNPROFOR units or in the United Nations Protected Areas (UNPAs) and pink zones. It also demanded that all the parties respect the freedom of movement
of the United Nations peacekeepers
so it can carry out necessary operations.
The Council concluded by urging the parties to co-operate with the Co-Chairmen of the Steering Committee of the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia; invited the Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali
to ensure rapid implementation of Resolution 802
(1993), including proposals to increase the strength and a further extension of UNPROFOR's mandate.
