United Nations Security Council resolution 1305, adopted on 21 June 2000, after recalling resolutions 1031 (1995), 1035 (1995), 1088 (1996), 1103 (1997), 1107 (1997), 1144 (1997), 1168 (1998), 1174 (1998), 1184 (1998) and 1247 (1999), the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNMIBH) for a period terminating on 19 June 2001 and authorised states participating in the NATO-led Stabilisation Force (SFOR) to continue to do so for a further twelve months.[1]
The security council underlined the importance of the Dayton Agreement (General Framework Agreement) and the importance that Croatia, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) and other states had to play in the peace process in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The situation continued to constitute a threat to peace and security and the council was determined to promote a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Council reminded the authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and others of their responsibility to implement the Dayton Agreement. It emphasised the role of the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina to monitor its implementation. It also attached importance to co-operation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.[2]
The Security Council commended the countries participating in SFOR to continue their operations for an additional twelve months; it would be extended beyond this date if warranted by the situation in the country. It also authorised the use of necessary measures, including that of the use of force and self-defense, to ensure compliance with the agreements and the safety and freedom of movement of SFOR personnel. At the same time, the mandate of UNMIBH, which included that of the International Police Task Force (IPTF), was extended until 21 June 2001. Countries were urged to provide training, equipment and support to local police forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Russia abstained from the voting on Resolution 1305, which was approved by the other 14 members of the council. The Russian representative had felt that amendments were not included in the resolution, and opposed participation in the Peace Implementation Conference in Brussels as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, one of the signatories to the Dayton Agreement, had not been invited.[1]
