United Nations Security Council resolution 953, adopted unanimously on 31 October 1994, after recalling Resolution 783 (1992) and all relevant resolutions on the situation in Somalia, the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Operation in Somalia II (UNOSOM II) for an interim period ending 4 November 1994.
