Deeply concerned by the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Haiti, and
stressing the need for increased assistance from the international community to
meet the humanitarian needs of the Haitian people,
Noting with concern that the situation in Haiti continues to constitute a
threat to peace and security in the region,
1. Decides to extend the present mandate of UNMIH until 31 July 1994;
2. Strongly deplores the refusal of the military authorities to implement
the Governors Island Agreement;
3. Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Council as soon as
possible, but no later than 15 July 1994, with specific recommendations on the
strength, composition, cost and duration of UNMIH, appropriate to its expansion
and deployment, as recommended by the Secretary-General, after the departure of
the senior Haitian military leadership as called for in resolution 917 (1994);
such recommendations should include, inter alia, means by which UNMIH could, in
due course, assist the democratic Government of Haiti in fulfilling its
responsibility to provide security for the international presence, senior
Haitian government officials and key installations, and in assisting Haitian
authorities to assure public order and in the holding of legislative elections
to be called by the legitimate constitutional authorities;

5. Invites Member States to prepare to provide promptly the troops,
police, civilian personnel, equipment and logistical support required for the
appropriate configuration of UNMIH;
6. Decides to keep the situation in Haiti under constant review, and
expresses its readiness to consider promptly any recommendations for a future
UNMIH that the Secretary-General, as requested, may make concerning the
deployment of UNMIH in the light of developments;
