The Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali had reported that the peace process in El Salvador had advanced, an announcement welcomed by the Council. However, concern was expressed at the delay in issues relating to the transfer of land, reintegration of ex-combatants, deployment of new police and the recommendations of the Commission on the Truth. There was also concern about recent violence and its implications for the peace process and the elections of March 1994, which may negatively affect the peace process if left unchecked.[2]
