United Nations Security Council resolution 1250, adopted unanimously on 29 June 1999, after reaffirming all resolutions on the situation in Cyprus, particularly Resolution 1218 (1998), the Council addressed the Secretary-General Kofi Annan's mission of good offices in Cyprus.[1]
The Security Council reiterated its concern at the lack of progress towards a political settlement of the Cyprus dispute. It stressed its full support for the mission of good offices of the Secretary-General with the goal of reducing tension and promoting progress towards a resolution in Cyprus. Both the Republic of Cyprus and Northern Cyprus had concerns which would be addressed in the negotiations.
The resolution requested the Secretary-General to invite the two leaders of the communities on Cyprus to negotiations in the autumn of 1999. The two leaders were urged to commit themselves to the following principles:[2]
- (a) no preconditions;
- (b) all issues on the table;
- (c) continue to negotiate until a settlement is reached;
- (d) consideration of United Nations resolutions and treaties.
They were also required to create a positive climate on the island in the run-up to negotiations in autumn 1999. Finally, the Secretary-General was requested to report to the Council by 1 December 1999 concerning developments in Cyprus. Resolution 1251 adopted the same day extended the mandate of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus.
