The resolution noted with concern that MONUC was unable to carry out its full mandate due to lack of access, co-operation and security conditions. The council would work with parties to the Lusaka Ceasefire Agreement to create conditions necessary for MONUC's deployment. The Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo was called upon to lift all obstacles to its deployment.

The mandate of MONUC was extended to allow time for further diplomatic efforts and reflection on the future mandate of the operation and any necessary adjustments.[2] The Secretary-General Kofi Annan was required to make recommendations on further action to be taken by the Security Council and on the implementation of the Ceasefire Agreement by 21 September 2000.[3]
