The Council welcomed the political agreement, which the four parties decided to create "a system of liberal democracy, on the basis of pluralism."[1] It went on to authorise the Secretary-General to designate a special representative for Cambodia to act on his behalf, welcoming his decision to send a survey mission to the country to prepare plans for implementing the mandate agreed at the Paris Conference. The resolution also called for the co-operation of the Supreme National Council of Cambodia and all parties with the Mission regarding the implementation of the agreements in the political settlement, and for all parties to observe a ceasefire.
The Secretary-General's report was examined in Resolution 745.[2]
