Resolution 391 of the United Nations Security Council was adopted on June 15, 1976. The resolution noted a report by the Secretary-General that due to existing circumstances, the presence of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus would continue to be essential for a peaceful solution.

The report also highlighted that law enforcement and civil police were limited in the north of the island, expressing concern about actions that could increase tensions between the parties involved. The Council reaffirmed its previous resolutions on the matter, emphasizing its continued concern over the situation.

In an effort to promote peace, the Council urged all parties concerned to work together towards a peaceful settlement. Furthermore, it extended the mandate of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus until December 15, 1976, once again underscoring the need for international intervention to maintain stability on the island.
