The Security Council expressed concern at the effects of the civil war on the humanitarian situation, determining that the situation remained a threat to international peace and security. It welcomed the ceasefire agreement on 4 April 2002 and declared that the monitoring mechanism would be in place as long as necessary. Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Council extended the monitoring mechanism for an additional period of six months and requested it to report periodically to the Committee established in Resolution 864 with an additional report by 15 October 2002.
