UNITA

The United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, has re-appointed four experts to serve on a panel monitoring sanctions against the rebel National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA).

Voicing deep concern about the continued conflict in Angola, Security Council members today agreed with the recommendation of United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan to extend the mandate of the UN office in that country for another six months, until mid-April 2002.
