United Nations Security Council resolution 740, adopted unanimously on 7 February 1992, after reaffirming resolutions 713 (1991), 721 (1991), 724 (1991) and 727 (1992) and considering a report by the Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the Council approved plans for a peacekeeping mission in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
The Council expressed its desire to deploy the force after the "remaining obstacle in the way" is removed, calling on the Serbian leaders to accept the United Nations peace plan.[1] Then Croatian President Franjo Tuđman had accepted the plan. It also approved the increase of the military liaison commission to a total of 75 officers, up from 50.[2]
The resolution went on to call on all parties to co-operate with the Conference on Yugoslavia to reach a settlement of the issue consistent with the principles of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, and also to all states to continue to observe the arms embargo on the country.
