The need to prevent a resumption of fighting in Rwanda–among majority Hutus, minority Tutsis, the government of Juvénal Habyarimana and Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) was emphasised, as was the need for a negotiated political solution in the framework of agreements to be signed in Arusha, Tanzania. At the same time, the Council praised the efforts of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) and Government of Tanzania to find a solution.
