On 3 April 1998, the UN Security Council concurred with the Secretary General's recommendation and decided to maintain UNIKOM for a further six months. 3, record 1, English, - United%20Nations%20Iraq%2DKuwait%20Observation%20Mission

À la fin de la guerre du Golfe en 1991, l'ONU a fixé les conditions d'un cessez-le-feu et créé la MONUIK, pour s'assurer que l'Iraq respectait ces conditions. Le mandat de la MONUIK consiste à surveiller la voie navigable de Knor Abdullah, entre l'Iraq et le Koweït, et à patrouiller la zone démilitarisée de 15 kilomètres qui sépare les deux pays. Le 3 avril 1998, le Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU a approuvé la recommandation du Secrétaire général et décidé de prolonger le mandat de la MONUIK de six mois. 2, record 1, French, - Mission%20d%27observation%20des%20Nations%20Unies%20pour%20l%27Iraq%20et%20le%20Koweit
