UNOL mandate extended

    ABIDJAN

    The UN Security Council has extended by one year the mandate of the United Nations Office in Liberia (UNOL), a statement from the UN said on Monday. The office will thus operate until 31 December 2002. The Security Council's decision follows a recommendation by UN secretary-General Kofi Annan. UNOL, an offspring of the former UN Observer Mission in Liberia (UNOMIL), has been "a useful political link between Liberia and the international community" and has contributed to promoting the rule of law, human rights, and peace and security in the country, the UN said.
