- UNAVEM II was established by Security
Council
resolution 696 (1991) of 30 May 1991 with the following mandate:
to verify the arrangements agreed by the Angolan parties for the monitoring
of the ceasefire and for the monitoring of the Angolan police during
the ceasefire period.
- On 24 March 1992, the Security Council, by its resolution
747 (1992), decided to enlarge the mandate of UNAVEM II to include
observation and verification of the presidential and legislative elections
in Angola.
- After renewed fighting in October 1992 between the Government of
Angola and UNITA forces, UNAVEM II's mandate was adjusted, in accordance
with Security Council resolutions 804
(1993) of 20 January 1993, 811
(1993) of 12 March 1993 and
834 (1993) of 1 June 1993, in order to help the two sides reach
agreement on modalities for completing the peace process and, at the
same time, to broker and help implement ceasefires at the national or
local level.
- In connection with the signing on 20 November 1994 by the Government
of Angola and UNITA of the Lusaka Protocol, the Security Council, by
its resolution
952 (1994) of 27 October 1994 and resolution
966 (1994) of 8 December 1994, authorized UNAVEM II to verify
the initial stages of the peace agreement.
