The Security Council expressed concern at the continuing crisis in Côte d'Ivoire, obstacles to the peace process from all sides and its threat to the region.

Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Council noted the recommendations of the Secretary-General Kofi Annan and authorised an increase in the strength of UNOCI until December 15, 2006 of up to 1,500 additional personnel, including 1,025 military and 475 police personnel.[2]

The resolution declared the Council's readiness to keep the situation under review.[3]
