The decision to extend MINURSO's mandate was taken after a request by James Baker III for further discussions with Morocco concerning the Baker Plan, relating to the self-determination of the territory; the Polisario Front accepted the plan on 6 July 2003.[2] The Secretary-General Kofi Annan was requested to report on the situation at the end of MINURSO's mandate.
