United Nations Security Council resolution 851, adopted unanimously on 15 July 1993, after reaffirming resolutions 696 (1991), 747 (1992), 785 (1992), 793 (1992), 804 (1993), 811 (1993), 823 (1993) and 834 (1993), the Council noted the continuing deterioration of the situation in Angola and extended the mandate of the United Nations Angola Verification Mission II (UNAVEM II) until 15 September 1993, discussing further the peace process in the country.
The resolution began by welcoming statements and declarations made by the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), Portugal, Russia, the United States and the World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna, Austria. There was concern however for the suspension of peace talks, lack of a ceasefire and the deteriorating political, military and humanitarian situation in the country. The efforts of the Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali and his Special Representative Margaret Anstee to bring about an end to the crisis through negotiations were supported, emphasising the importance of a continued United Nations presence in Angola.
