Resolution 748 (1992)
SOURCE:
United Nations Security Council, January 21, 1992
S/RES/748 (1992)
31 March 1992
Adopted by the Security Council at its 3063rd meeting, on 31 March 1992
Reaffirming its resolution 731 (1992) of 21 January 1992,
Noting the reports of the Secretary-General (S/23574) and S/23672),
Deeply concerned that the Libyan Government has still not provided a full and effective response to the requests in its resolution 731 of 21 January 1992,
Convinced that the suppression of acts of international terrorism,including those in which States are directly or indirectly involved, is essential for the maintenance of international peace and security,
Recalling that in the statement issued on 31 January 1992 on the occasion of the meeting of the Security Council at the levels of Heads of State and Government the members of the Council expressed their deep concern over acts of international terrorism and emphasized the need for the international community to deal effectively with all such acts,
Reaffirming that, in accordance with the principle in Article 2, paragraph 4, of the Charter of the United Nations, every State has the duty to refrain from organizing, instigating, assisting or participating in terrorist acts in another State or acquiescing in organized activities within its territory directed towards the commission of such acts, when such acts involve a threat or use of force,
Determining in this context that the failure by the Libyan Government to demonstrate, by concrete actions its renunciation of terrorism and in particular its continued failure to respond fully and effectively to the requests in resolution 731 (1992), constitute a threat to international peace and security,
Determined to eliminate international terrorism,
Recalling the right of States, under Article 50 of the Charter, to consult the Security Council where they find themselves confronted with special economic problems arising from the carrying out of preventive or enforcement measures,
Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,

(a) Prohibit any provision to Libya by their nationals or from their
territory of arms and related material of all types, including the sale or transfer
