The resolution went on to urge both Argentina and the United Kingdom to co-operate with the Secretary-General to achieve a ceasefire and, if necessary, to arrange a possible dispatch of United Nations observers to the region to monitor the implementation of a ceasefire. The resolution concluded by requesting the Secretary-General to submit a report on developments no later than seven days after the implementation of the resolution.
Several days before the adoption of this resolution, Peru offered a peace proposal, which was rejected by Argentina.[1][2] Argentina wished for Resolution 505 to include a reference to a possible interim administration on the islands, an idea that came up in negotiations but was not included in the final draft.[3] A further draft resolution by Panama and Spain was vetoed by Britain and the United States.[4]
