The Council decided that security arrangements were to remain in effect and for both countries to refrain from unilateral troop or population movements including new settlements near the border. It demanded that UNMEE be allowed full freedom of movement and expressed disappointment that an air corridor had not been established between the capitals of Asmara and Addis Ababa. Furthermore, both Eritrea and Ethiopia were requested to release prisoners of war and adopt confidence-building measures to promote reconciliation.
