UN Security Council Resolution 773, adopted on 26 August 1992, followed earlier Gulf War resolutions (687 and 689). It considered the work of the Iraq–Kuwait Boundary Demarcation Commission, created in May 1991. The Council said the commission should not reallocate border territory but should mark the boundary as described in the 1963 Agreed Minutes between Kuwait and Iraq. It reaffirmed that it would enforce any ceasefire violations in the demilitarised zone. The resolution welcomed the commission’s plan to review the eastern part of the boundary at its next session and urged that demarcation be done as soon as possible. The commission completed its work in November 1992. The resolution passed 14 votes in favor, with Ecuador abstaining and none against.
