The Security Council pledged to consider the Secretary-General Kofi Annan's "four options" for the future of the Western Sahara peace process described in his report, noting that both Morocco and Polisario Front had not fully co-operated with the United Nations in the settlement of their dispute.[2] The four options were:[3]
- The resumption of the implementation of the Settlement Plan without requiring agreements from both parties;
- The Secretary-General's Personal Envoy James A. Baker III would revise the framework agreement which would be presented to the parties on a non-negotiable basis;
- The Secretary-General's Personal Envoy James A. Baker III would determine if the parties would discuss a division of Western Sahara;
- The termination of the MINURSO operation.
