The findings of the report by the Special Mission were examined in Resolution 405.
The incident was brought to the attention of the Council by the People's Republic of Benin on January 26, 1977, after foreign mercenaries attacked the airport and the city of Cotonou but were later forced to retreat.[1]
No details were of the voting were given, other than that it was adopted "by consensus".
