The Resolution 1703 of the UN Security Council is a resolution on the situation in East Timor , by the United Nations Security Council adopted unanimously at its 5514th meeting, on 20 August of 2006.

The Security Council relied on its previous resolutions 1599 , 1677 and 1690 .

The resolution extended the mandate of the United Nations Office in Timor-Leste (UNOTIL) by five days until August 25, 2006. This step was taken to give the Security Council more time to deliberate on the proposal of the UN Secretary-General . Kofi Annan had proposed a new mission for East Timor, which would include military units, police forces and civil servants, and would be set up for an initial twelve months with the prospect of an extension. The Secretary General had made the suggestions in his report of August 8, 2006 on the role of the United Nations in East Timor after the mission ended. Resolution 1690 of the UN Security Council of June 20, 2006 asked him to draw up the report.

At the same time, the mandate had to be extended, as otherwise the mandate would have expired on August 20, 2006. With resolution 1704 , the Security Council then decided on August 25 to replace the United Nations Office in Timor-Leste (UNOTIL) with the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT).
