Recognizing the efforts of the international community and the
Government of Nicaragua to provide relief and emergency assistance to persons
affected by the aftermath of the war, the floods, the volcanic eruption, the
tidal wave and the recent hurricane,
Recognizing also that the intensive efforts of the Government of
Nicaragua to promote economic reactivation within the framework of a process
of adjustment with economic growth and development with equity have been

by the needs of thousands of displaced persons, refugees and unemployed
persons who must be integrated into the economic life of the country, as well
as by the effects of natural disasters,
Recognizing further that the Government of Nicaragua is making
considerable progress in securing a broad social consensus by means of a
process of national dialogue for the adoption of measures to lay the
foundations for reconstruction and economic and social development,

stimulate the process of reconstruction, social investment, stabilization and
development;

Requests the Secretary-General, in cooperation with the relevant
organs and organizations of the United Nations system and in close cooperation

those activities for the consolidation of peace;
