The Security Council,
Noting that the present situation with regard to Cyprus is likely to

unless additional measures are promptly taken to maintain peace and to seek
out a durable solution.
Considering the positions taken by the parties in relation to the Treaties
signed at Nicosia on 16 August 1960,
Having in mind the relevant provisions of the Charter of the United
Nations and its Article 2, paragraph 4, which reads: "All Members
shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of
force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any
State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United
Nations."

obligations under the Charter of the United Nations, to refrain from any
action or threat of action to worsen the situation in the sovereign
Republic of Cyprus, or to endanger international peace;

Secretary-General and report to him. The Secretary-General, who shall keep
the Governments providing the Force fully informed, shall report
periodically to the Security Council on its operation;

interest of preserving international peace and security, to use its best
efforts to prevent a recurrence of fighting and, as necessary, to
contribute to the maintenance and restoration of law and order and a return
to normal conditions;
6. Recommends that the stationing of the Force shall be for a period
of three months, all costs pertaining to it being met, in a manner to be
agreed upon by them, by the Governments providing the contingents and by
the Government of Cyprus. The Secretary-General may also accept voluntary
contributions for the purpose;
7. Recommends further that the Secretary-General designate, in
agreement with the Government of Cyprus and the Governments of Greece,
Turkey and United Kingdom a mediator who shall use his best endeavours with
the representatives of the communities and also with the aforesaid four
Governments, for the purpose of promoting a peaceful solution and an agreed
settlement of the problem confronting Cyprus, in accordance with the
Charter of the United Nations, having in mind the well- being of the people
