I have the honour to refer to my letter of 27 September 1996 (S/1996/816) regarding the activities undertaken by the International Commission of Inquiry (Rwanda), in pursuance of resolution 1053 (1996) of 23 April. In that letter I stated, inter alia, that, with the concurrence of the Security Council, it was my intention to request the Commission to submit its report by 31 October 1996. That report is attached herewith.
