At the same time, the sanctions would be reimposed if at any point the council is informed by the secretary-general that the parties to the agreement or any other authorities in Haiti had not complied in good faith with the agreement. All measures would be reviewed with a view to lifting them definitively when the secretary-general, having regard for the views of the Secretary General of the Organization of American States, informed the security council that all parties have fully implemented the agreement.

The agreement would not be fully implemented which led the Security Council to reimpose sanctions in Resolution 875.
