The United Nations, African Union and Assessment and Evaluation Commission would continue to support dialogue between the National Congress government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement in South Sudan regardless of the results of the independence referendum. All acts of violence perpetrated by any party and the effects on the civilian population were condemned. UNMIS and other United Nations Missions in the region were urged to continue to co-operate against threats of local militia and armed groups, not limited to the Lord's Resistance Army as noted in Resolution 1663 (2006).
