The Security Council strongly condemned the attacks in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania and regarded the incidents as a threat to international peace and security. It expressed sympathy and condolences to the victims and their families and the United States government.

It was proposed by the French ambassador to the UN Jean-David Levitte.

The resolution called on all countries to co-operate in bringing the perpetrators, organisers and sponsors of the attacks to justice and that those responsible for supporting or harbouring the perpetrators, organisers and sponsors would be held accountable.{{cite news|title=Members of Security Council condemn 'horrifying' terror attacks on US|url=https://www.un.org/apps/news/storyAr.asp?NewsID=1470&Cr=terror&Cr1=attack|publisher=United Nations News Centre|date=11 September 2001}} The international community was called upon to increase efforts to suppress and prevent terrorist activities through co-operation and implementation of anti-terrorist conventions and Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolution 1269 (1999).
