United Nations Security Council Resolution 839

Adoption

United Nations Security Council resolution 839 was adopted unanimously on 11 June 1993.

Background

The resolution noted a report of the Secretary-General that, due to existing circumstances, the presence of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) would continue to be essential for a peaceful settlement.

Implementation and Follow-up

The Council asked the Secretary-General to report back again before 15 November 1993, to follow the implementation of the resolution. The provisions of Resolution 831 (1993), concerning the restructuring of the Force, were recalled, and both sides were urged to take reciprocal measures to lower tension and carry forward intercommunal talks between the Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish Cypriot community.

Reaffirmation of Previous Resolutions

The Council reaffirmed its previous resolutions, including Resolution 365 (1974), which expressed concern over the situation and urged the parties involved to work together for peace. The mandate of the force in Cyprus, established in Resolution 186 (1964), was extended until 15 December 1993.
