"Having read the special report of the SecretaryGeneral of 12 June 1992 on the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia,128 the Security Council is deeply concerned by the difficulties that the Authority is encountering in the implementation of the agreements on a comprehensive political settlement of the Cambodia conflict signed in Paris on 23 October 1991,no on the eve of moving to phase 11 of the cease-fire.
