United Nations Security Council resolution 833, adopted unanimously on 27 May 1993, after recalling resolutions687 (1991),689 (1991),773 (1992) and806 (1993) in addition to a report by the Secretary-GeneralBoutros Boutros-Ghali, the council noted the continuing work of the United NationsIraq-Kuwait Boundary Demarcation Commission.
The resolution recalled that the United Nations Iraq–Kuwait Boundary Demarcation Commission was not to reallocate territory, but for the first time mark the precise coordinates of the border between Kuwait and Iraq on the basis of the agreement between the two countries in 1963. Iraq was reminded of its obligations under Resolution 687 which formed the basis of theceasefire. The council also welcomed the secretary-general's decision requiring theUnited Nations Iraq–Kuwait Observation Mission (UNIKOM) to finalise the boundary of thedemilitarised zone demarcated by the commission.
Acting underChapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the security council welcomed and appreciated the work of the Boundary Demarcation Commission on its completion.[1] It also reaffirmed that the decisions of the commission on the boundary were final and demanded that Iraq and Kuwait respect the inviolability of international borders.
