United Nations Security Council resolution 776, adopted on 14 September 1992, after reaffirming Resolution 743 (1992) and noting offers of assistance made by Member States since the adoption of Resolution 770 (1992), the Council authorised an increase in the size and strength of the United Nations Protection Force in Bosnia and Herzegovina and other areas of the former Yugoslavia.

Under Resolution 776, the Protection Force was to provide protection to humanitarian organisations such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, and other activities as requested by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees such as scheduling convoys and negotiating safe passage. The Force would also be permitted to use self-defence if armed persons attempted to prevent it from carrying out its mandate.

The resolution was adopted by 12 votes to none, with 3 abstentions from China, India and Zimbabwe.
