The Security Council reaffirmed the need for a durable and mutual solution to the Western Sahara problem, which would provide for the self-determination of the people of the territory. Both Morocco, the Polisario Front and regional states were urged to co-operate with the United Nations to end the political impasse and reach a solution to the long-running dispute.
The preamble of the resolution also welcomed "serious and credible" efforts by Morocco to resolve the dispute, and also a proposal presented by the Polisario Front.

All parties were called upon to respect military agreements reached with MINURSO regarding a ceasefire, and to enter into negotiations without preconditions.[2][3] Member States were called upon to consider contributing towards confidence-building measures to facilitate greater person-to-person contact, such as family visits.
The mandate of MINURSO was extended and the Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon instructed to report on the situation in Western Sahara by June 30, 2007. Furthermore, he was also instructed to ensure greater compliance with the zero-tolerance sexual exploitation policy among MINURSO personnel.
