Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali was requested to report to the Council by 14 December 1995 on proposals for a transitional authority and peacekeeping force in the aforementioned regions to implement the Basic Agreement. It was also decided that, in order for the transitional authority to be established, UNCRO's mandate would end on 15 January 1996 or when the Security Council decided on the deployment of the authority and peacekeeping force.
