Adopted by the Security Council at its 3660th meeting,
on 26 April 1996
The Security Council,
Reaffirming its resolution 1044 (1996) of 31 January
1996,
Taking note of the report of the Secretary- General of
11 March 1996
(S/1996/179) submitted pursuant to paragraph 7 of resolution 1044 (1996)
and the
conclusions contained therein,
Gravely alarmed at the terrorist assassination attempt
on the life of the
President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on
26 June 1995, and convinced that those responsible for that
act must be brought
to justice,
Taking note that the statements of the Organization of
African Unity (OAU)
Mechanism for Conflict Prevention, Management and Resolution of
11 September 1995, and of 19 December 1995 (S/1996/10, annexes I and
II)
considered the attempt on the life of President Mubarak as aimed, not
only at
the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, and not only at the sovereignty,
integrity and stability of Ethiopia, but also at Africa as a whole,
Regretting the fact that the Government of Sudan has
not yet complied with
the requests of the Central Organ of the OAU set out in those statements,
Taking note of the continued effort of the OAU Secretary-General
to ensure
Sudan's compliance with the requests of the Central Organ of the OAU,

Sudan has not
responded adequately to the efforts of the OAU,

to comply with the
requests set out in paragraph 4 of resolution 1044 (1996),

terrorism,
including those in which States are involved is essential for the maintenance
of
international peace and security,

of Sudan with the
requests set out in paragraph 4 of resolution 1044 (1996) constitutes
a threat
to international peace and security,
