United Nations Security Council resolution 1423, adopted unanimously on 12 July 2002, after recalling resolutions 1031 (1995), 1035 (1995), 1088 (1996), 1103 (1997), 1107 (1997), 1144 (1997), 1168 (1998), 1174 (1998), 1184 (1998), 1247 (1999), 1305 (2000), 1357 (2001) and 1396 (2002), the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNMIBH) for a period until on 31 December 2002 and authorised states participating in the NATO-led Stabilisation Force (SFOR) to continue to do so for a further twelve months.[1]

The adoption of the resolution was delayed due to a veto from the United States concerning immunity for its peacekeepers from the International Criminal Court (ICC), whose Statute entered into force on 1 July 2002.[2] The current resolution was approved following the adoption of Resolution 1422 (2002) granting immunity to nationals of countries who were not party to the ICC Statute.
