The resolution reiterated the commitment of the Council to hold a referendum for self-determination of the people of Western Sahara. Since the adoption of Resolution 1002, the concerned parties had made insufficient progress towards the fulfilment of the Settlement Plan with regards to the identification process, the code of conduct, the release of political prisoners, the confinement of Polisario troops and arrangements for a reduction in Moroccan troops.[1] The parties were asked to co-operate with the United Nations plan and the Secretary-General was requested to make proposals to solve such problems.
