United Nations Security Council resolution 1227, adopted unanimously on 10 February 1999, after reaffirming resolutions 1177 (1998) and 1226 (1999) on the situation between Eritrea and Ethiopia, the Council demanded an immediate cessation of hostilities between the two countries.[1]
In the preamble of the resolution, the Council expressed concern at the border conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea, and recalled the commitment of both countries to a moratorium on the threat of and use of air strikes. It stressed that the current situation posed a threat to peace and security.[2]
The Security Council condemned the resumption of hostilities by both countries and demanded an immediate halt to air strikes. Furthermore, it demanded that both countries resume diplomatic efforts towards a peaceful settlement of the conflict and noted that the Framework Agreement proposed by the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) remained a basis for a settlement.
