United Nations Security Council resolution 1374, adopted unanimously on 19 October 2001, after reaffirming Resolution 864 (1993) and all subsequent resolutions on Angola, particularly resolutions 1127 (1997), 1173 (1998), 1237 (1999), 1295 (2000), 1336 (2001) and 1348 (2001), the council extended the monitoring mechanism of sanctions against UNITA for a further six months until 19 April 2002.[1]

The security council expressed concern at the effects of the civil war on the humanitarian situation, determining that the situation remained a threat to international peace and security. It also declared that the monitoring mechanism would be in place as long as necessary. Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Council extended the monitoring mechanism for an additional period of six months and requested it to report periodically to the committee established in Resolution 864 with a final report by 19 April 2002. The committee was further instructed to undertake a review by 31 December 2001 on future improvements to the monitoring mechanism.

The Secretary-General Kofi Annan was asked to appoint four experts to serve on the monitoring mechanism and make financial arrangements to this effect.[2] Finally, all countries were called upon to co-operate with the mechanism during the course of its mandate.
