United Nations Security Council resolution 1528, adopted unanimously on 27 February 2004, after recalling resolutions 1464 (2003), 1479 (2003), 1498 (2003), 1514 (2003) and 1527 (2004) on the situation in Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), the Council established the United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire (UNOCI) for an initial period of twelve months.
The Security Council endorsed the Linas-Marcoussis Agreement and welcomed progress relating to disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR), and the return of the Forces Nouvelles to the government, including dialogue. It called on all parties to refrain from violations of human rights and international humanitarian law and an end to impunity. There was concern over the deteriorating economic situation in the country and the consequences on the subregion.
The preamble of the resolution welcomed efforts by the African Union in supporting the peace and reconciliation process in Côte d'Ivoire, including those of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and French forces. It noted requests by the President of Côte d'Ivoire Laurent Gbagbo and ECOWAS to transform the United Nations Mission in Côte d'Ivoire (MINUCI) into a peacekeeping mission. Lasting stability in the country would depend on peace in the subregion according to the Council, particularly in Liberia.
