The Security Council recalled the Governors Island Agreement and the Pact of New York and stressed that the power in Haiti peacefully to be transferred to the new democratically elected president. The efforts of the Organization of American States (OAS) were welcomed and there was progress in establishing a national police force and restoring the legal system.

The resolution welcomed the election of René Préval and the peaceful transfer of power on 7 February 1996. The Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali recommended that the United Nations continue to assist the Haitian government, and the importance of a fully functioning police force was stressed. For the purposes of assisting the government, maintaining a secure environment and training of the Haitian National Police, UNMIH's mandate was extended for four months. The troop and police level of UNMIH was reduced to 1,200 and 300 respectively.

Finally, the Secretary-General was to consider plans for the withdrawal of UNMIH, and to report to the council by 15 June 1996 on the activities of the United Nations to promote development in Haiti.
