The UN Security Council, acting under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, adopted Resolution 1244 on 10 June 1999, which among other things, authorised the establishment and deployment of an international security presence in Kosovo, known as KFOR, with all necessary means to fulfil its responsibilities.
The Security Council envisages that KFOR, with substantial North Atlantic Treaty Organisation participation, must be deployed under a unified command and control with the aim of establishing a safe environment for all people in Kosovo and facilitating the safe return to their homes of all displaced persons and refugees.
UN Security Council Resolution 1244 marks a welcome re-engagement by the UN with the Kosovo issue and is the result of diplomacy and negotiations which Ireland has constantly seen as essential to finding a solution to the Kosovo problem.
