United Nations Security Council resolution 1108, adopted unanimously on 22 May 1997, after reaffirming all previous resolutions on the Western Sahara, the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) until 30 September 1997.[1]
The security council welcomed the intention of the Secretary-General Kofi Annan to evaluate the situation in Western Sahara based on recommendations by the designated Personal Envoy. It reiterated its commitment to the holding of a free and fair referendum for the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara in accordance with the Settlement Plan.
By extending the mandate until 30 September 1997, the resolution urged both parties to co-operate with James A. Baker III, the Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General and demonstrate political will to resolve the stalemate in the dispute between Morocco and the Polisario Front. The Personal Envoy was tasked with mandate to recommend whether the Settlement Plan could be implemented in its present form, whether mutually acceptable adjustments could be made or whether another way of resolving the conflict could be found.[1] Finally, the Secretary-General was required to submit a report by 15 September 1997 to the council with his evaluations on all aspects of the situation in Western Sahara.
