Moreover it recognizes that the continued operation of UNIKOM in the demilitarized zone established under resolution 687 (1991) is no longer necessary to protect against threats to international security posed by Iraqi actions against Kuwait; the Council therefore decided to end the above-mentioned demilitarized zone, as well as the mandate of UNIKOM, on 6 October 2003.
En conséquence, le Conseil a décidé de supprimer, à l'expiration du mandat de la MONUIK, le 6 octobre 2003, la zone démilitarisée.
