Why?

• UN Resolution started out of treaties between
  Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot parties in 1960
  
• UN saw the Cyprus conflict as a threat to the
  international peace and security

The Resolution

1. UN called upon its member States to conform in
   their obligations and UN Charter whereby they
   should not worsen the situation or endanger
   international peace
2. Gvt of Cyprus was asked to actively participate
   to stop violence
3. UN required cooperation from Cypriot communities
   and leaders
4. UN recommended the creation of a United Nations
   Peace Keeping Force in Cyprus (with periodical
   reports to UNSC)
5. The Force will contribute to the restoration of
   law and order, international peace and security
6. 3 months period funded by Gvts, Gvt of Cyprus and
   voluntary contributions
7. UN proposed a facilitated mediation (with
   periodical reports to UNSC)
8. Mediator and staff paid by UN (? they represent
   UN!)

  of the origin of the funds

  and Cyprus contribution, no money from the
  Turkish part
• Intervention of UNDP into a secure scenario
