The initial mandate of MINURCA was to last for three months until 15 July 1998, and was headed by a Special Representative of the Secretary-General. The Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who had established a trust fund in order to finance the operation, was directed to keep the Council informed and to submit a report by 20 June 1998 on the mandate of MINURCA and the implementation of the current resolution. Finally, the Central African Republic was asked to conclude a Status of Forces Agreement with Secretary-General before 25 April 1998.
