Council commends the Commission for the follow-up steps taken, notably the establishment of the Abyei Area Joint Investigation Committee (AAJIC). Council notes with deep regret that, in spite of the efforts made by the Commission, the AAJIC has not be able to proceed as planned in undertaking the investigation, and reiterates its demand that full cooperation be extended to the AAJIC to enable it to fulfill its mandate, recalling the imperative of ensuring a credible, transparent and independent investigation; 14. Decides that, should the Chair of the AAJIC determine within a maximum period of 15 days from the date of this communiqué that the AAJIC is unable to proceed with the implementation of its mandate due to the current difficulties, it shall review the situation to determine the best course of action, including the possibility of reconstituting the AAJIC to comprise only representatives of the AU and the UN. Council urges the UN Security Council to endorse this course of action, bearing in mind the fact that a UNISFA peacekeeper was also murdered in the incident, and this incident continues to pose a grave threat to peace and security in the Abyei Area and to the region as a whole; 15. Expresses grave concern over delays in implementing the Agreement on the Temporary Administrative and Security Arrangements for the Abyei Area signed on 20 June 2011.

Council strongly urges that the two Governments meet immediately in order to resolve any outstanding differences over the above-mentioned Agreement; 16. Recalls its earlier decision on the AUHIP Proposal on the final settlement of Abyei of 21 September 2012, which has been accepted by the Government of South Sudan, and calls on the Presidents of Sudan and South Sudan to meet, with the Facilitation of the AUHIP, to resolve their differences in this regard, with a view urgently to establish the Abyei Referendum Commission (ARC).
