On 6 October, the Secretary-General informed the Council of his discussions with the Libyan Foreign Minister on the surrender of two Libyan nationals, suspects in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which claimed 270 lives.

The Council adopted resolution 883 (1993) by a vote of 11 to none, with 4 abstentions (China, Djibouti, Morocco, Pakistan). The new sanctions took effect on 1 December. By the text, the Council specified that all States should freeze funds and financial resources owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by Libyan authorities or any Libyan undertaking. Those measures did not, however, apply to funds derived from the sale or supply of petroleum or agricultural products originating in Libya, provided that they were paid into separate bank accounts exclusively for those funds. All States, the Council said, should immediately close Libyan Arab Airlines offices within their territories, and prohibit commercial transactions with that airline. Member States should also prohibit their nationals from: supplying any materials, except emergency equipment, for the construction or maintenance of Libyan airfields; assistance to Libyan aviation personnel; and insurance for Libyan aircraft. The Council confirmed an earlier decision that all States should significantly reduce the level of staff at Libyan diplomatic posts. It expressed readiness to consider suspending sanctions if Libya ensured the appearance for trial of those charged with the Lockerbie bombing. It would lift the sanctions when Libya fully cooperated in establishing responsibility for the terrorist actions against the airliners, and ceased all forms of terrorist action or assistance to terrorists, and demonstrate its renunciation The Abandonment of a right; repudiation; rejection.
