on 16 August 1996
The Security Council,
Recalling its resolutions 1044 (1996) of 31 January 1996
and 1054 (1996) of
26 April 1996,
Having considered the report of the Secretary-General
of 10 July 1996
(S/1996/541 and Add.1, 2 and 3),
Taking note of the letters of 31 May 1996 (S/1996/402),
24 June 1996
(S/1996/464) and 2 July 1996 (S/1996/513) from the Permanent Representative
of
the Sudan,
Taking note also of the letter of 10 July 1996 (S/1996/538)
from the
Permanent Representative of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia,
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 Central Organ
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,
________________________
*Reissued for technical reasons.

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

Reaffirming that the suppression of acts of international
terrorism,

Determining that the non-compliance by the Government
of Sudan with the

in
paragraph 1 of resolution 1054 (1996) constitutes a threat to international
peace and security,

end
acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,

give effect to the

possible on the steps they have taken to that end;
3.Decides that all States shall deny aircraft permission
to take off

of a report
presented by the Secretary-General, on the compliance of Sudan with
the demand
in paragraph 1 above;
