Established in 1993 under UN Security Council resolution 846, UNOMUR was given the mandate to monitor the border between Uganda and Rwanda and verify that no military assistance-lethal weapons, ammunition and other material of possible military use-was being provided across this border. While the tragic turn of events in Rwanda in April 1994 prevented UNOMUR from fully implementing its mandate, the Observer Mission played a useful role as a confidence-building mechanism in the months following the conclusion of the Arusha Peace Agreement and during UNAMIR's initial efforts to defuse tensions between the Rwandese parties and to facilitate the implementation of that agreement. 1, record 10, English, - United%20Nations%20Observer%20Mission%20Uganda%2DRwanda

Même si les tragiques événements survenus au Rwanda en avril 1994 ont empêché la MONUOR de remplir pleinement son mandat, la Mission d'observation a joué un rôle utile comme mécanisme d'instauration de la confiance dans les mois qui ont suivi la conclusion de l'Accord de paix d'Arusha et durant les efforts initiaux de la MINUAR en vue de désamorcer les tensions entre les parties rwandaises et de faciliter la mise en œuvre de l'accord. 1, record 10, French, - Mission%20d%27observation%20des%20Nations%20Unies%20Ouganda%2DRwanda
