United Nations Security Council resolution 1101, adopted on 28 March 1997, after reiterating its
concern over the situation in Albania, the council established a multinational protection force in the
country to create conditions to facilitate humanitarian assistance.[1]

The security council noted that the situation in Albania, triggered by the failure of large-scale Ponzi
scheme, had deteriorated, and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the
European Union were attempting to find a peaceful resolution to the situation. It was convinced that the
situation in Albania posed a threat to the peace and security of the region, reflecting concerns by
diplomats of the unrest spilling into other ethnically Albanian areas of the Balkans.[2]

The resolution, drafted by Italy, condemned the outbreak of violence and called for an immediate
cessation of hostilities. Some countries had offered to establish a temporary and limited multinational
protection force to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance and create a secure environment
for international humanitarian organisations. Italy, which was particularly worried about an outflow of
Albanians to Italy, as had occurred in 1991, proposed to lead the force.[3][4] The Council then
authorised states in that operation (Operation Alba)[5] to conduct the operation in a neutral and
impartial way and, under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, further directed the states to ensure
the freedom of movement and security of the multinational force.[6]

It was decided that the operation would last for a period of three months, and that its cost will be borne
by countries participating in it. The contributing states were requested to report to the Council every
two weeks on consultations between it and the Government of Albania and to co-operate with the
authorities in the country.

Resolution 1101 was adopted by 14 votes to none against, with one abstention from China, which stated
that the situation was an internal affair of Albania, but, given Albania's request for assistance, did not
veto the resolution.[1]
