									| Adopted by the Security Council at its 2941st meeting on 20 September 1990
 
 
 The Security Council,
 
 Convinced of the need to find an early, just and lasting peaceful
 solution of the Cambodia conflict,
 
 Noting that the Paris International Conference on Cambodia (PICC,) which
 met from 30 July to 30 August 1989, made progress in elaborating a wide
 variety of elements necessary for reaching a comprehensive political
 settlement,
 
 Taking note with appreciation of the continuing efforts of China,
 France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great
 Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America which have
 resulted in the Framework for a comprehensive political settlement of the
 Cambodia conflict as contained in Security Council document S/21689,
 
 Taking note with appreciation also the efforts of the ASEAN countries
 and other countries involved in promoting the search for a comprehensive
 political settlement,
 
 Taking note further with appreciation the efforts of Indonesia and
 France as Co-Chairmen of the PICC and of all participants in this Conference
 to facilitate the restoration of peace to Cambodia,
 
 Noting that these efforts are aimed at enabling the Cambodian people to
 exercise their inalienable right to self-determination through free and fair
 elections organized and conducted by the United Nations in a neutral political
 environment with full respect for the national sovereignty of Cambodia,
 
 1.  Endorses the Framework for a comprehensive political settlement of
 the Cambodia conflict (S/21689) and encourages the continuing efforts of

 Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America in this
 regard;

 Cambodian parties, as the basis for settling the Cambodia conflict, at the

 co-operation with all other participants in the PICC, to elaborating this
 Framework into a comprehensive political settlement through the processes of

 embodied;
 
 5.  Urges the members of the Supreme National Council, in full accord
 with the framework document (S/21689), to elect the Chairman of the Council as
 soon as possible, so as to implement the agreement referred to in paragraph 4;

 Cambodia externally and it is to designate its representatives to occupy the
 seat of Cambodia at the United Nations, in the United Nations specialized
 agencies, and in other international institutions and international
 conferences;
 
 7.  Urges all parties to the conflict to exercise maximum self-restraint
 so as to create the peaceful climate required to facilitate the achievement
 and the implementation of a comprehensive political settlement;

 parties to the conflict to co-operate fully in this process;
