UNMOVIC Documents
UNMOVIC was created through the adoption of Security Council resolution 1284 in December 1999. One of the first requirements was the appointment of an Executive Chairman and a College of Commissioners. The Executive Chairman was appointed in January 2000. The Commissioners were appointed in March 2000. One of the first tasks of the Executive Chairman was to draw up an organizational plan for UNMOVIC. This was submitted to the Security Council on 6 April and approved on 14 April 2000. The Commission produced its first report on the implementation of its mandate on 1 June 2000. It reports quarterly to the Security Council.
