The Resolution 1713 of the UN Security Council is a resolution to the conflict in Darfur , which the United Nations Security Council has adopted unanimously at its 5543rd meeting, on 29 September, 2006. With the resolution, which was passed under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations , the mandate of a four-person expert group with an observer function was extended by one year to September 29, 2007.

The Security Council relied on its previous resolutions 1556 , 1591 , 1651 and 1665 . The panel underlined the obligation to implement the General Peace Agreement of January 9, 2005 , as well as to end the violence and persecution in Darfur, and urged those parties to the conflict who had not yet signed the agreement to do so immediately. At the same time, the parties to the conflict were asked to stop hostilities immediately and to refrain from further violent attacks.

With the resolution, the Security Council recognized the sovereignty, unity, territorial integrity and independence of Sudan and recalled the principles of good neighborliness, non-interference and cooperation between states in the region and noted that the situation in Sudan was a threat to peace and represents the stability in the region.

The resolution expands the expert group to five members and calls on all states, the relevant United Nations agencies, and the African Union to cooperate fully with the group and to provide all information relating to the implementation of the measures set out in resolutions 1556 and 1591 were ordered.
