United Nations Security Council resolution 794, adopted unanimously on 3 December 1992, after reaffirming resolutions 733 (1992), 746 (1992), 751 (1992), 767 (1992) and 775 (1992), the Council expressed grave concern at the deteriorating situation in Somalia and authorised the creation of the Unified Task Force (UNITAF) to create a "secure environment" in order to provide humanitarian assistance to the civilian population. The current resolution determined that "the magnitude of human tragedy caused by the conflict in Somalia, further exacerbated by the obstacles being created to the distribution of humanitarian assistance" constituted a threat to international peace and security.
