The Resolution 858 of the UN Security Council is a resolution that the United Nations Security Council unanimously decided at its 3268th meeting, on 24 August 1993rd After reaffirming resolutions 849 (1993) and 854 (1993) and with reference to a ceasefire between Abkhazia and Georgia and the commitments to withdraw the armed forces, the Council appointed the United Nations Observer Mission to Georgia (UNOMIG) for an initial period of 90 days set up until a further extension should this be necessary.

According to a report by Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali , the peacekeeping force would consist of 88 military observers and the personnel necessary to support UNOMIG. She would uphold the ceasefire and report violations of it to the Secretary General, paying close attention to the city of Sukhumi and trying to resolve any violations with the parties involved.

UNOMIG would be established for an initial period of 90 days, extended to six months depending on progress in implementing peacekeeping. Meanwhile, the Secretary General has been requested to report on developments within three months.
