United Nations Security Council resolution 958, adopted unanimously on 19 November 1994, after recalling all resolutions on the situation in the former Yugoslavia including Resolution 836 (1993), the council, acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, determined that the situation in the former Yugoslavia continued to constitute a threat to international peace and security and in its support of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR), authorised the use of air strikes in Croatia in addition to Bosnia and Herzegovina by member states, in order for UNPROFOR to carry out its mandate.[1][2] UNPROFOR was authorised to use air force independently, via direct member states support or via regional organizations.[2] Subsequent air force interventions in Udbina airfield and other locations in Croatia and Bosnia, were conducted with NATO support.[2]
