United Nations Security Council resolution 1324, adopted unanimously on 30 October 2000, after recalling all previous resolutions on the question of the Western Sahara, in particular resolutions 1108 (1997), 1292 (2000), 1301 (2000), 1308 (2000), and 1309 (2000), the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) until 28 February 2001.^[1]

The Security Council welcomed the efforts of the Secretary-General's Personal Envoy James Baker and MINURSO to implement the Settlement Plan and agreements adopted by Morocco and the Polisario Front to hold a free and fair referendum on self-determination for the people of Western Sahara. At the same time it noted that fundamental differences between the parties still remained.

The mandate of MINURSO was extended in order to resolve areas of disagreement and find a mutually acceptable solution. The Secretary-General, Kofi Annan was requested to provide an assessment of the situation before the end of MINURSO's mandate on 28 February 2001.^[2]
