United Nations Security Council Resolution 211 was adopted on September 20, 1965. After the calls for a cease-fire in resolutions 209 and 210 went unheeded, the Council demanded that a cease-fire take effect at 0700 hours GMT on September 22 and that both forces withdraw to the positions held before August 5. The Council requested the Secretary-General ensure the supervision of the cease-fire and called on all states to refrain from any action which might aggravate the situation.{{Cite web|title=Security Council Resolution 211: The India-Pakistan Question {{!}} UN Peacemaker|url=https://peacemaker.un.org/indiapakistan-resolution211|access-date=2021-03-09|website=peacemaker.un.org}} The Council also decided that as soon as a cease-fire could be reached it would consider what steps could be taken to assist towards a settlement of the political problem underlying the conflict.

The resolution was adopted by ten votes to none, with Jordan abstaining.
