The Secretary-General's proposals included the deployment of observers to strengthen mechanisms established in the National Peace Accord. The observers would be stationed in agreed locations across South Africa.[1] If necessary, the Observer Mission could be supplemented by appropriate international organisations such as the Organisation of African Unity, the Commonwealth and European Community. 50 observers were dispatched by September.[2]

The Council requested the Secretary-General to report quarterly or more frequently on the implementation of the current resolution, and asked for the full co-operation of the Government of South Africa, parties and organisations.
