United Nations Security Council resolution 1493, adopted unanimously on 28 July 2003, after recalling all resolutions on the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the council extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUC) until 30 July 2004 and raised its troop level from 8,700 to 10,800.[1]
Under previous mandates, MONUC was allowed to use force only in self-defense; the current resolution expanded this to include "all necessary means" to fulfill its mandate.[2] The MONUC mission had difficulties implementing Resolution 1493 due to ambiguous references in the text, an issue later addressed by the secretary-general who criticised the lack of specific tasks given to the operation under this resolution.[3]
