United Nations Security Council Resolution 1703, adopted unanimously on August 18, 2006, after reaffirming previous resolutions on East Timor (Timor-Leste), particularly resolutions 1599 (2005), 1677 (2006) and 1690 (2006), the Council renewed the mandate of the United Nations Office in Timor-Leste (UNOTIL) until August 25, 2006.[1]
The technical resolution was adopted to allow more time for discussions on a new peacekeeping mission, which would later become known as the United Nations Integrated Mission in East Timor, adopted in Resolution 1704 (2006).
