The Resolution 658 of the UN Security Council is a resolution that the United Nations Security Council at its 2929th meeting, on 27 June 1990 unanimously decided. Recalling resolution 621 ( 1988 ) and having regard to a report by the Secretary-General on the situation in Western Sahara , the Council approved the Secretary-General's recommendations for resolving the problem.
Although it was not established until resolution 690 ( 1991 ), the agreement from resolution 658 concerned a plan according to which the United Nations should monitor a ceasefire between Morocco and the Polisario Front and hold a referendum in which the people of Western Sahara should decide on self-determination or decide to incorporate into Morocco, later known as the United Nations mission for the referendum in Western Sahara . This was proposed under the 1988 Settlement Plan Agreement between Morocco and the Polisario Front.
The resolution calls on both parties to work with the Secretary-General and the Organization for African Unity in their efforts to find a solution in Western Sahara, and welcomes the Secretary-General's decision to deploy a technical mission to Western Sahara and neighboring countries to help complete administrative aspects of the United Nations plan. In this regard, he asked the Secretary-General to report back when the proceedings were concluded.
