The Security Council extended the MINURSO operation to allow Morocco and the Polisario Front time to consider proposals presented by the Secretary-General's Personal Envoy James Baker III for a political solution to the dispute.[2] The proposal provided for the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara.[3] In addition, the Secretary-General Kofi Annan was asked to submit a report by 17 March 2003 on the situation.
