The Security Council has renewed the mandate for the UN Peacekeeping
Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) until July 31, but expressed serious concerns
about several issues, including the continued violations of the military
status quo along the ceasefire lines.
Unanimously
adopting resolution 2618, the Council called on the leaders of the two
Cypriot communities and all involved parties to refrain from any actions
and rhetoric that might damage the settlement process and that could
raise tensions on the island, reports Xinhua news agency.
It also
expressed concern over tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean, and
underlined that disputes should be resolved peacefully, in accordance
with applicable international law.
The Council expressed serious
concern at the reported encroachment by both sides into the buffer zone
separating Greek and Turkish communities in the northern and southern
regions of the Mediterranean island since 1974 and the increase in
unauthorised construction.
It called on the sides to reduce
existing barriers to inter-communal contact and welcomed the
continuation of the regular dialogue between them and the UN.
By
other terms, the Council expressed deep regret over the lack of progress
on an effective mechanism for direct military contacts between the
sides and the relevant involved parties.
It urged flexibility and
engagement by the sides and the relevant involved parties, facilitated
by UNFICYP, to develop an acceptable proposal on the establishment of
such a tool, and its timely implementation.
