United Nations Security Council resolution 1342 was adopted unanimously on 27 February 2001. After recalling all previous resolutions on Western Sahara, in particular resolutions 1108 (in 1997), 1292, 1301,1309 and 1324 (all in 2000), the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) until 30 April 2001.[1]
The Security Council reiterated its support for efforts by MINURSO and the United Nations, as well as agreements adopted by Morocco and the Polisario Front, to hold a free and fair referendum on self-determination for the people of Western Sahara. As with previous resolutions, the Council noted that fundamental differences remained between the parties on some aspects concerning the implementation of the Settlement Plan.
The mandate of MINURSO was extended on the condition that remaining differences between the parties would be resolved to reach a mutually acceptable solution.[2] At the end of its mandate on 30 April 2001, the Secretary-General Kofi Annan was required to submit a report on the situation.
