Noting from the report of the Secretary-General of 10 June 19664 that in the present circumstances the
United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus is still needed if peace is to be maintained in the island,

is necessary to continue the Force beyond 26 June 1966,
1. Reaffirms its resolutions 186(1964) of 4 March, 187 (1964) of 13 March, 192 (1964) of 20 June, 193 (1964)

the consensus expressed by the President at the 1143rd meeting, on 11 August 1964;
2. Urges the parties concerned to act with the utmost restraint and to make determined efforts with a view to
achieving the objectives of the Security Council;
3. Extends the stationing in Cyprus of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force, established under Security
Council resolution 186 (1964), for a period of six months ending 26 December 1966, in the firm hope that by

possible a withdrawal or a substantial reduction of the Force.
