'''United Nations Security Council resolution 811''', adopted unanimously on 12 March 1993, after reaffirming resolutions [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 696|696]] (1991), [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 747|747]] (1992), [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 785|785]] (1992), [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 793|793]] (1992) and [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 804|804]] (1993), the Council expressed its concern at recent fighting and condemned the violations of the "Acordos de Paz" peace agreement in [[Angola]] by [[UNITA]], including its rejection of election results and negotiations in addition to its resumption of hostilities.

The resolution demanded UNITA accept the election results and that both it and the [[Government of Angola]] produce evidence that they, particularly UNITA, have implemented the "Acordos de Paz", by 30 March 1993. It also demanded a [[ceasefire]] throughout the country and to enter into dialogue, reaffirming that it will hold responsible any party which refuses to take part in such a dialogue.

The Council then condemned verbal and physical attacks against [[Margaret Anstee]], Special Representative of the Secretary-General [[Boutros Boutros-Ghali]] and the [[United Nations Angola Verification Mission II]] (UNAVEM II), including the kidnapping of one member of UNAVEM II in [[Cabinda Province]], further demanding that all parties ensure the safety of all United Nations personnel.<ref>{{cite book|last=Hampson|first=Fen Olser|title=Nurturing peace: why peace settlements succeed or fail|publisher=US Institute of Peace Press|date=1996|page=[https://archive.org/details/nurturingpeacewh0000hamp/page/118 118]|isbn=978-1-878379-55-9|url=https://archive.org/details/nurturingpeacewh0000hamp/page/118}}</ref>

The resolution invited Boutros-Ghali to organise a meeting at the highest level between the two parties before 30 April 1993, and to consider the future of the United Nations in Angola as a whole. It concluded by calling on all United Nations agencies, Member States and international humanitarian organisations to provide economic, material and technical assistance in addition to [[humanitarian aid]] to the civilian population. This provision was added to the resolution after concerns about the humanitarian situation in Angola by Margaret Anstee.<ref>{{cite book|last=Kukkuk|first=Leon|title=Letters to Gabriella: Angola's Last War for Peace, What the UN Did And Why|publisher=FLF Press|date=2005|page=233|isbn=978-1-891855-67-2}}</ref>
