The resolution cited cases of "mass forcible expulsion" and deportation of civilians, abuse in detention centres, deliberate attacks on non-combatants, hospitals and ambulances which impeded the delivery of humanitarian aid to affected areas. The Council strongly condemned the violations, including that of ethnic cleansing (the first such resolution to do so),[1] demanding all parties cease and desist from violating international law. It further demanded international organisations, particularly the International Committee of the Red Cross, be given immediate and unrestricted access to camps, prisons and detention centres.
