Recalling the statement made by the President of the Security Council on 12 June 1992 (S/24091),

Taking note of the report of the Secretary-General dated 14 July 1992 (S/24286), and in particular of the fact that CPP, FUNCINPEC and KPNLF have agreed to proceed with phase II of the cease-fire as laid down in annex 2 of the first Paris Agreement and that the Party of Democratic Kampuchea has so far refused to do so,

Taking note also of the declaration on the Cambodia Peace Process adopted in Tokyo on 22 June 1992 (S/24183), and the other efforts made there by the countries and parties concerned for the implementation of the Paris Agreements,

3.

8. Urges all States, in particular neighbouring countries, to provide assistance to UNTAC to ensure the effective implementation of the Paris Agreements;

9. Approves the efforts of the Secretary-General and his Special Representative to continue to implement the Agreements despite the difficulties;

11. Demands that the Party that has failed so far to do so permit without delay the deployment of UNTAC in the areas under its control, and implement fully Phase II of the Plan as well as the other aspects of the Paris Agreements;

12. Requests the Secretary-General and his Special Representative to ensure that international assistance to the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Cambodia from now on only benefits the parties which are fulfilling their obligations under the Paris Agreements and cooperating fully with UNTAC;
