The need for consultations among all parties to achieve national reconciliation and the establishment of democratic institutions was recognised, in particular stressing that the people of Somalia are responsible for achieving these objectives. The Council noted proposals for the establishment of an impartial Commission of Inquiry from the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) and went on to establish the Inquiry, while the Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali was requested to appoint the Commission at the earliest possible time.
