continuation of\nUNOSOM II beyond March 1995 cannot be justified,\n\n     Recognizing further that termination of the mandate of UNOSOM II by the end\nof March 1995 implies a secure and orderly

Reminds both sides of their obligation to prevent violence directed\nagainst UNFICYP personnel, particularly those involving firearms, which inhibit\nUNFICYP from carrying out its mandated responsibilities, and demands that they\nensure UNFICYP complete freedom of movement and extend their full cooperation to\nUNFICYP;\n\n     4.

Calls upon the parties to accept as a package, without delay or\npreconditions, the reciprocal measures proposed by UNFICYP, namely: (a) to\nextend the 1989 unmanning agreement to other areas where the two sides remain in\nclose proximity to each other; (b) to prohibit loaded weapons along the\nceasefire lines; and (c) to adopt a code of conduct, based on the concept of\nminimal force and proportional response, to be followed by troops on both sides\nalong the ceasefire lines, and expresses its disappointment that no progress has\nbeen made towards implementing these measures thus far;\n\n        6.

Expresses its intention, in this context, taking into account the views of\n               the Government of Sierra Leone, the Economic Community of West African States\n               (ECOWAS) and the troop-contributing countries, to strengthen the mandate of\n               UNAMSIL as established in its resolutions 1270 (1999) of 22 October 1999 and\n               1289 (2000) of 7 February 2000 with the following priority tasks:\n                    (a) To maintain the security of the Lungi and Freetown peninsulas, and their\n               major approach routes;\n                     (b) To deter and, where necessary, decisively counter the threat of RUF\n               attack by responding robustly to any hostile actions or threat of imminent and direct\n               use of force;\n\n\n\n00-59196 (E)\n`````````\n\nS/RES/1313 (2000)\n\n\n                     (c) To deploy progressively in a coherent operational structure and in\n               sufficient numbers and density at key strategic locations and main population\n               centres and, in coordination with the Government of Sierra Leone to assist, through\n               its presence and within the framework of its mandate, the efforts of the Government\n               of Sierra Leone to extend state authority, restore law and order and further stabilize\n               the situation progressively throughout the entire country, and, within its capabilities\n               and areas of deployment, to afford protection to civilians under threat of imminent\n               physical violence;\n                    (d) To patrol actively on strategic lines of communication, specifically main\n               access routes to the capital in order to dominate ground, ensure freedom of\n               movement and facilitate the provision of humanitarian assistance;\n                    (e) To assist in the promotion of the political process leading, inter alia, to a\n               renewed disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme where possible;\n                     4.   Considers that, in order to allow the restructuring of the force and\n               provide the additional capability required for the achievement of the priority tasks\n               set out in paragraph 3 above, the military component of UNAMSIL should be\n               reinforced through accelerated troop rotations, as appropriate, and with, inter alia,\n               further aviation and maritime assets, a strengthened force reserve, upgraded\n               communications and specialist combat and logistic support assets;\n                    5.    Recognizes that the RUF offensive against UNAMSIL since May 2000\n               revealed serious inherent weaknesses in the mission’s structure, command and\n               control and resources, as referred to in paragraph 54 of the report of the Secretary-General of 31 July 2000, reflecting findings of the United Nations Assessment\n               Mission which visited Sierra Leone from 31 May to 8 June 2000, welcomes the\n               recommendations made and action already taken to address these deficiencies, and\n               requests the Secretary-General to take further urgent steps to implement these\n               recommendations to improve the performance and capacity of the mission;\n                    6.     Stresses that the successful achievement of the objectives of the mission,\n               including the priority tasks set out in paragraph 3 above, will depend on the\n               provision to UNAMSIL of fully equipped, complete units, with the required\n               capabilities, effective command and control structure and capacity, a single chain of\n               command, adequate resources and the commitment to implement the mandate of the\n               mission in full as authorized by the Security Council;\n                     7.    Requests the Secretary-General, after further consultations with troop\n               contributing countries, to provide a further report to the Council as soon as possible\n               on the proposals in paragraphs 2 to 6 above with recommendations for the\n               restructuring and strengthening of UNAMSIL, and expresses its intention to take a\n               decision on those recommendations expeditiously;\n                    8.

Reaffirms its strong condemnation of the deliberate targeting of children\n               in situations of armed conflict and the harmful and widespread impact of armed\n               conflict on children, and the long-term consequences this has for durable peace,\n               security and development;\n                    2.    Emphasizes the responsibility of all States to put an end to impunity and\n               to prosecute those responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity and war\n               crimes, and, in this regard, stresses the need to exclude these, where feasible, from\n               amnesty provisions and relevant legislation;\n                     3.   Urges all parties to armed conflict to respect fully international law\n               applicable to the rights and protection of children in armed conflict, in particular the\n               Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the obligations applicable to them under the\n               Additional Protocols thereto of 1977, the United Nations Convention on the Rights\n               of the Child of 1989 and the Optional Protocol thereto of 25 May 2000, and to bear\n               in mind the relevant provisions of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal\n               Court;\n                    4.

Expresses its grave concern at the linkages between the illicit trade in\n               natural resources and armed conflict, as well as the linkages between the illicit\n               trafficking in small arms and light weapons and armed conflict, which can prolong\n               armed conflict and intensify its impact on children, and in this regard expresses its\n               intention to consider taking appropriate steps, in accordance with the Charter of the\n               United Nations;\n                     9.

Underlines the importance of giving consideration to the special needs\nand particular vulnerabilities of girls affected by armed conflict, including, inter\nalia, those heading households, orphaned, sexually exploited and used as\ncombatants, and urges that their human rights, protection and welfare be\nincorporated in the development of policies and programmes, including those for\nprevention, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration;\n      14.

          subregional organizations and arrangements, to coordinate and cooperate fully with\n               the United Nations from an early stage in negotiations, bearing in mind the need for\n               any provisions for a peacekeeping operation to meet minimum conditions, including\n               the need for a clear political objective, the practicability of the designated tasks and\n               timelines, and compliance with the rules and principles of international law, in\n               particular international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law;\n                    Requests the Secretary-General, in this regard, to make necessary\n               arrangements for the appropriate involvement of the United Nations in peace\n               negotiations that are likely to provide for the deployment of United Nations\n               peacekeepers;\n                    Further requests the Secretary-General to keep it regularly and fully informed\n               of the progress in such negotiations with his analysis, assessment and\n               recommendations, and to report to the Council on the conclusion of any such peace\n               agreement, on

Commander or the Force Commander-designate, both\n               prior to the establishment of a peacekeeping operation and in the implementation\n               phase, and requests that these

             S/RES/1327 (2000)\n\n\n      Recognizes that the problem of the commitment gap with regard to personnel\nand equipment for peacekeeping operations requires the assumption by all

capability of their peacekeepers to fulfil the mandates\nassigned to them, underlines the importance of international cooperation in this\nregard, including the training of peacekeepers, and invites

the\ntroop-contributing countries, the Secretary-General and the Security Council, in\norder to foster a common understanding of the situation on the ground, of the\nmission’s mandate and of its implementation;\n      Agrees, in this regard, to strengthen significantly the existing system of\nconsultations through the holding of private meetings with troop-contributing\ncountries, including at their request, and without prejudice to the provisional rules of\nprocedure of the Security Council, in particular when the Secretary-General has\nidentified potential troop-contributing countries for a new or ongoing peacekeeping\noperation, during the implementation phase of an operation, when considering a\nchange in, or renewal or completion of a peacekeeping mandate, or when a rapid\ndeterioration in the situation on the ground threatens the safety and security of\nUnited Nations peacekeepers;\n\nII\n     Undertakes to ensure that the mandated tasks of peacekeeping operations are\nappropriate to the situation on the ground, including such factors as the prospects for\nsuccess, the potential need to protect civilians and the possibility that some parties\nmay seek to undermine peace through violence;\n      Emphasizes that the rules of engagement for United Nations peacekeeping\nforces should be fully consistent with the legal basis of the operation and any\nrelevant Security Council resolutions and clearly set out the circumstances in which\nforce may be used to protect all mission components and personnel, military or\ncivilian, and that the rules of engagement should support the accomplishment of the\nmission’s mandate;\n     Requests the Secretary-General, following full consultations with the United\nNations membership, in particular troop-contributing countries, to prepare a\ncomprehensive operational doctrine for the military component of United Nations\npeacekeeping operations and submit it to the Security Council and the General\nAssembly;\n\nIII\n      Stresses the need to improve the information gathering and analysis capacity of\nthe Secretariat, with a view to improving the quality of advice to both the

rapidly upon the adoption by the Security Council\n               of a resolution establishing its mandate, and notes that rapid deployment is a\n               comprehensive concept that will require improvements in a number of areas;\n                     Calls on all relevant parties to work towards the objective of meeting the\n               timelines for United Nations peacekeeping operations of deployment of a traditional\n               peacekeeping operation within 30 days and of a complex operation within 90 days\n               of the adoption of a Security Council resolution establishing its mandate;\n                    Welcomes the Secretary-General’s intention to use these timelines as the basis\n               for evaluating the capacity of existing systems to provide field missions with the\n               human, material, financial and information assets that they require;\n                     Welcomes the proposal of the Panel on United Nations Peace Operations to\n               create integrated mission task forces, and urges the Secretary-General to pursue this\n               or any other related capabilities that would improve United Nations planning and\n               support capacities;\n                    Emphasizes the need for the Secretariat to provide the leadership of a\n               peacekeeping operation with strategic guidance and plans for anticipating and\n               overcoming any challenges to the implementation of a mandate, and stresses that\n               such guidance should be formulated in cooperation with the mission leadership;\n                     Welcomes the proposals of the Panel on United Nations Peace Operations on\n               improving the capacity of the United Nations to deploy military, civilian police and\n               other personnel rapidly, including through the United Nations standby arrangements\n               system, and urges the Secretary-General to consult current and potential troopcontributing countries on how best to achieve this important objective;\n                    Undertakes to consider the possibility of using the Military Staff Committee as\n               one of the means of enhancing the United Nations peacekeeping capacity.\n\n               V\n                    Emphasizes that the biggest deterrent to violent conflict is addressing the root\n               causes of conflict, including through the promotion of sustainable development and\n               a democratic society based on a strong rule of law and civic institutions, including\n               adherence to all human rights — civil, political, economic, social and cultural;\n                    Concurs with the Secretary-General that every step taken towards reducing\n               poverty and achieving broad-based economic growth is a step towards conflict\n               prevention;\n                     Stresses the important role of the Secretary-General in the prevention of armed\n               conflicts, and looks forward to his report on this issue, which is to be submitted to\n               Member States by May 2001;\n                     Expresses its continued willingness to consider the use of Council missions,\n               with the consent of host countries, in order to determine whether any dispute, or\n               situation which might lead to international tension or give rise to a dispute, is likely\n               to endanger the maintenance of international peace and security, and to make\n               recommendations for action by the Council where appropriate;\n\n\n\n\n4\n\n                                                                                   S/RES/1327 (2000)\n\n\n      Recalls the statements of its President of 20 July 2000 (PRST/2000/25) and 30\nNovember 1999 (PRST/1999/34) on the prevention of armed conflict and welcomes,\nin this context, the Secretary-General’s intention to send fact-finding missions to\nareas of tension more frequently;\n     Recalls resolution 1296 (2000) of 19 April 2000 on the protection of civilians\nin armed conflict, and looks forward to receiving the Secretary-General’s follow-up\nreport in this context;\n      Reaffirms the important role of women in the prevention and resolution of\nconflicts and in post-conflict peace-building, and fully endorses the urgent need to\nmainstream a gender perspective into peacekeeping operations;\n     Calls for the full implementation of its resolution 1325 (2000) of 31 October\n2000;\n\nVI\n      Welcomes the decision by the Secretary-General to instruct the Executive\nCommittee on Peace and Security to formulate a plan on the strengthening of the\nUnited Nations capacity to develop peace-building strategies and to implement\nprogrammes in support of them, and requests the Secretary-General to submit\nrecommendations to the Security Council and the General Assembly on the basis of\nthis plan;\n     Recognizes that stronger measures to reduce poverty and promote economic\ngrowth are important for the success of peace-building;\n     Emphasizes, in this regard, the need for more effective coordination of\ndisarmament, demobilization and reintegration programmes, and reaffirms that\nadequate and timely funding for these programmes is critical to the success of peace\nprocesses;\n      Welcomes the Secretary-General’s intention to spell out more clearly, when\npresenting future concepts of operations, what the United Nations system can do to\nhelp strengthen local rule of law and human rights

(1999) of 15\n               October 1999 and the statements of its President on the situation in Afghanistan,\n                     Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial\n               integrity and national unity of Afghanistan, and its respect for Afghanistan’s cultural\n               and historical heritage,\n                    Recognizing the critical humanitarian needs of the Afghan people,\n                     Supporting the efforts of the Personal Representative of the Secretary-General\n               for Afghanistan to advance a

     emphasized that the situation in Afghanistan is a complex one that requires a\n               comprehensive, integrated approach to a peace process and issues of narcotics\n               trafficking, terrorism, human rights, and international humanitarian and\n               development aid,\n                     Recalling the relevant international counter-terrorism conventions and

is essential for the maintenance of\n               international peace and security,\n                    Noting the importance of the Taliban acting in accordance with the 1961\n

production and indirectly benefits from the processing and\n               trafficking of such opium, and recognizing that these substantial resources\n               strengthen the Taliban’s capacity to harbour terrorists,\n                     Deploring the fact that the Taliban continues to provide safehaven to Usama\n               bin Laden and to allow him and others associated with him to operate a network of\n               terrorist training camps from Taliban-controlled territory and to use Afghanistan as a\n               base from which to sponsor international terrorist

opium,\n                    Stressing that the capture by the Taliban of the Consulate-General of the\n               Islamic Republic of Iran and the murder of Iranian diplomats and a journalist in\n               Mazar-e-Sharif constituted flagrant violations of established international law,\n                    Determining that the failure of the Taliban authorities to respond to the\n               demands in paragraph 13 of resolution 1214 (1998) and in paragraph 2 of resolution\n               1267 (1999) constitutes a threat to international peace and security,\n                    Stressing its determination to ensure respect for its resolutions,\n                    Reaffirming the necessity for sanctions to contain adequate and effective\n               exemptions to avoid adverse humanitarian consequences on the people of\n               Afghanistan, and that they be structured in a way that will not impede, thwart or\n               delay the work of international humanitarian assistance organizations or\n               governmental relief agencies providing humanitarian assistance to the civilian\n               population in the country,\n                      Underlining the responsibility of the Taliban for the well-being of the\n               population in the areas of Afghanistan under its control, and in this context calling\n               on the Taliban to ensure the safe and unhindered access of relief personnel and aid\n               to all those in need in the territory under their control,\n                     Recalling the relevant principles contained in the Convention on the Safety of\n               United Nations and Associated Personnel adopted by the General Assembly in its\n               resolution 49/59 of 9 December 1994,\n                    Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                     1.

Regrets the deterioration of the situation in the zone of conflict due to the\n               ongoing violence, hostage-taking incidents, the rise in criminality and the activities\n               of illegal armed groups in the conflict zone, which constitutes a constant threat to\n               the peace process;\n                     3.

Stresses the importance of early submission to the parties of the paper as\n               a starting point and significant catalyst for negotiations on a comprehensive political\n               settlement, and deeply regrets that the Special Representative of the Secretary-General has not been in a position to do so;\n                     6.

Further urges the parties, in this context, to address urgently and in a\n               concerted manner, as a first step, the undefined and insecure status of spontaneous\n               returnees to the Gali district, which remains an issue of serious concern;\n\n\n\n\n2\n\n                                                                                        S/RES/1364 (2001)\n\n\n      13.

Applications for each export of commodities and products should be\n          forwarded to the Office of the Iraq Programme (OIP) by the exporting States\n          through permanent or observer missions, or by United Nations agencies and\n          programmes. Each application should include technical specifications and end-user\n          information in order for a determination to be made on whether the contract contains\n          any item referred to in paragraph 24 of resolution 687 (1991) or any item on the\n          Goods Review List (GRL). A copy of the concluded contractual arrangements\n          should be attached to the application.\n                2.   Each application and the concluded contractual arrangements will be\n          reviewed by customs experts in the OIP and experts from UNMOVIC, consulting\n          the IAEA as necessary, in order to determine whether the contract contains any item\n          referred to in paragraph 24 of resolution 687 (1991) or included on the GRL. The\n          OIP will identify an official to act as a contact point on each contract.\n                3.  In order to verify that the conditions set out in paragraph 2 above are\n          met, the experts may request additional information from the exporting States or\n          Iraq. The exporting States or Iraq should provide the additional information\n          requested within a period of 60 days. If the experts do not require any additional\n          information within four working days, the procedure under paragraphs 5, 6 and 7\n          below applies.\n               4.    If the experts determine that the exporting State or Iraq has not provided\n          the additional information within the period set out in paragraph 3 above, the\n          application will not proceed further until the necessary information has been\n          provided.\n                5.   If the UNMOVIC experts, consulting the IAEA as necessary, determine\n          that the contract contains any item referred to in paragraph 24 of resolution 687\n          (1991), the application shall be considered lapsed and returned to mission or agency\n          which submitted it.\n                6.    If the UNMOVIC experts, consulting the IAEA as necessary, determine\n          that the contract contains any item referred to in the GRL, they will forward to the\n          Committee full details of the GRL listed items, including the technical\n          specifications of the items and the associated contract. In addition, OIP and\n          UNMOVIC, consulting the IAEA as necessary, shall provide to the Committee an\n          assessment of the humanitarian, economic and security implications, of the approval\n          or denial of the GRL listed items, including the viability of the whole contract in\n          which the GRL listed item appears and the risk of diversion of the item for military\n          purposes. OIP shall also provide information on the possible end-use monitoring of\n          such items. OIP will immediately inform the missions or agencies concerned. The\n          remaining items in the contract, which are determined as not included in the GRL,\n          will be processed according to the procedure in paragraph 7 below.\n                7.    If the UNMOVIC experts, consulting the IAEA as necessary, determine\n          that the contract does not contain any item referred to in paragraph 2 above, the\n          Office of the Iraq Programme will inform immediately the Government of Iraq and\n          the exporting State in written form. The exporter will be eligible for payment upon\n          verification by Cotecna that the goods have arrived as contracted in Iraq.\n\n\n                                                                                                            13\n\nS/RES/1382 (2001)\n\n\n                     8.    If the mission or agency submitting a contract disagrees with the decision\n               to refer the contract to the Committee, it may appeal against this decision within two\n               business days to the Executive Director of OIP. In that event, the Executive Director\n               of OIP, in consultation with the Executive Chairman of UNMOVIC, will appoint\n               experts to reconsider the contract in accordance with the procedures set out above.\n               Their decision, endorsed by the Executive Director and Executive Chairman, will be\n               final and no further appeals will be permitted. The application shall not be\n               forwarded to the Committee until the appeal period has expired without an appeal\n               being filed.\n                    9.    Experts from OIP and UNMOVIC who review contracts should be drawn\n               from the broadest possible geographical base.\n                    10. The Secretariat will report to the Committee at the end of each 180-day\n               phase on the contracts submitted and approved for export to Iraq during this period\n               and provide to any member of the Committee at the member’s request copies of\n               applications for information purposes only.\n                    11. Any Committee member may call for an urgent meeting of the\n               Committee to consider revising or revoking these procedures. The Committee will\n               keep these procedures under review and, in light of experience, will amend them as\n               appropriate.\n\n\n\n\n14\n", "text_length": 34208, "title": "Security Council resolution 1382 (2001) [on improvement of the humanitarian programme for Iraq]", "agenda_information": "S/56 [120] IRAQ-KUWAIT SITUATION", "subjects": "UN.

Decides to remain seized of the matter.\n\n\n\n\n2\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/1409 (2002)\n\n\nProcedures\n1 – The following procedures replace paragraphs 29 to 34 of document S/1996/636* and other existing\n    procedures, notably for the implementation of the relevant provisions of paragraphs 17, 18 and 25 of\n    resolution 1284 (1999) related to the processing of applications to be financed from the escrow account\n    established pursuant to paragraph 7 of resolution 986 (1995).\n2 – Each application (the “Notification or Request to Ship Goods to Iraq,” as attached to these procedures,\n    hereafter referred to as “the application,”) for the sale or supply of commodities or products, to include\n    services ancillary to the supply of such commodities and products, to Iraq to be financed from the escrow\n    account established pursuant to paragraph 7 of resolution 986 (1995) must be forwarded to the Office of\n    the Iraq Programme (OIP) by the exporting States through permanent or observer Missions, or by United\n    Nations agencies and programmes. Each application should include complete technical specifications, as\n    requested in the standard application form, concluded arrangements (e.g., contracts), and other relevant\n    information, including, if known, whether the application contains any item(s) covered by the Goods\n    Review List (GRL), in order for a determination to be made on whether the application contains any item\n    referred to in paragraph 24 of resolution 687 (1991) as it relates to military commodities and products, or\n    military-related commodities or products covered by the GRL.\n3 – Each application will be reviewed and registered by OIP within 10 working days. In the case of a\n    technically incomplete application, OIP may request additional information before transmitting the\n    application to the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) and\n    the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). If OIP determines that the requested information is not\n    provided within 90 days, the application will be considered supplier-inactive and no further action on the\n    application will be taken until the information is provided. If the requested information is not received\n    within a further 90 days, the application will lapse. OIP should notify the submitting Mission or United\n    Nations agency in writing of any change in the status of the application. The OIP will identify an official\n    to act as a contact point on each application.\n4 – After OIP registration of the application, each application will be evaluated by technical experts from\n    UNMOVIC and IAEA in order to determine whether the application contains any item referred to in\n    paragraph 24 of resolution 687 (1991) as it relates to military commodities and products, or militaryrelated commodities or products covered by the GRL (“GRL item(s)”). At their discretion and subject to\n    the approval of the 661 Committee, UNMOVIC and IAEA may issue guidance regarding what categories\n    of applications do not contain any item(s) covered by paragraph 24 of resolution 687 (1991) as it relates\n    to military commodities and products, or military-related commodities or products covered by the GRL.\n    UNMOVIC, IAEA and OIP, working in consultation, may develop a procedure whereby OIP may evaluate\n    and approve applications that, based on this guidance, fall within these categories.\n5 – Military goods and services are prohibited for sale or supply to Iraq under paragraph 24 of resolution 687\n    (1991) and are not subject to review under the GRL. For consideration of dual-use goods and services\n    referred to in paragraph 24 of resolution 687 (1991), UNMOVIC and IAEA should process these goods\n    and services pursuant to paragraph 9 of these procedures.\n6 – Upon receipt of a registered application from OIP, UNMOVIC and/or IAEA will have 10 working days to\n    evaluate an application as set forth in paragraphs 4 and 5. Absent action by UNMOVIC and/or IAEA\n    within the 10-working-day period, the application will be considered approved. In the course of\n    conducting the technical evaluation as set out in paragraphs 4 and 5 above, UNMOVIC and/or IAEA may\n    request additional information from the submitting Mission or United Nations agency. The submitting\n    Mission or United Nations agency should provide the additional information requested within a period of\n    90 days. Once UNMOVIC and/or IAEA receive the requested information, UNMOVIC and/or IAEA will\n    have 10 working days to evaluate the application under the procedure set forth in paragraphs 4 and 5.\n\n\n\n\n                                                                                                                  3\n\nS/RES/1409 (2002)\n\n\n    7 – If UNMOVIC and/or IAEA determine that the submitting Mission or United Nations agency has not\n        provided the requested additional information within the 90-day period set out in paragraph 6 above, the\n        application will be considered supplier-inactive and no further action on the application will be taken until\n        the information is provided. If the requested information is not provided within a further 90 days, the\n        application will lapse. OIP should notify the submitting Mission or United Nations agency in writing of\n        any change in the status of the application.\n    8 – If UNMOVIC and/or IAEA determine that the application contains any item referred to in paragraph 24 of\n        resolution 687 (1991) as it relates to military commodities and products, the application shall be\n        considered ineligible for approval for the sale or supply to Iraq. UNMOVIC and/or IAEA will provide to\n        the submitting Mission or United Nations agency through OIP a written explanation of this determination.\n    9 – If UNMOVIC and/or IAEA determine that the application contains any GRL item(s), they will\n        immediately inform through OIP the submitting Mission or United Nations agency. Pursuant to paragraph\n        11 below, absent a request by the submitting Mission or United Nations agency for reconsideration within\n        10 working days, OIP will forward the application containing the GRL item(s) to the 661 Committee for\n        the purpose of evaluating whether the GRL item(s) may be sold or supplied to Iraq. UNMOVIC and/or\n        IAEA will provide to the 661 Committee through OIP a written explanation of this determination. In\n        addition, OIP, UNMOVIC and/or IAEA, at the request of the submitting Mission or United Nations\n        agency, will provide to the 661 Committee an assessment of the humanitarian, economic and security\n        implications, of the approval or denial of the GRL item(s), including the viability of the whole contract in\n        which the GRL item(s) appears and the risk of diversion of the item(s) for military purposes. The\n        assessment provided by OIP to the Committee should be transmitted in parallel by OIP to the submitting\n        Mission or United Nations agency. OIP will immediately inform appropriate United Nations agents of the\n        finding of a GRL item(s) in the application and that the GRL item(s) may not be sold or supplied to Iraq\n        unless otherwise notified by OIP that the procedures set forth in paragraphs 11 or 12 have resulted in\n        approval for sale or supply of the GRL item(s) to Iraq. The remaining items in the application, which are\n        determined as not covered by the GRL, will be considered approved for sale or supply to Iraq and, at the\n        discretion of the submitting Mission or United Nations agency, and with the consent of the contracting\n        parties, will be processed according to the procedure in paragraph 10 below. The relevant approval letter\n        may be issued for such approved items under request from the submitting Mission or United Nations\n        agency.\n10 – If UNMOVIC and/or IAEA determine that the application does not contain any item referred to in\n     paragraph 4 above, OIP will inform immediately the Government of Iraq and the submitting Mission or\n     United Nations agency in written form. The exporter will be eligible for payment from the escrow account\n     established pursuant to paragraph 7 of resolution 986 (1995) upon verification by United Nations agents\n     that the items in the application have arrived in Iraq as contracted. OIP and the United Nations Treasury\n     will inform the banks within five working days that the items in the application have arrived in Iraq.\n11 – If the Mission or United Nations agency submitting an application disagrees with the determination that\n     an application contains an item(s) covered by paragraph 24 of resolution 687 (1991) as it relates to\n     military commodities and products, or military-related commodities or products covered by the GRL, it\n     may request a reconsideration of this decision, based on the provision of technical information and/or\n     explanations not previously included in the application, within 10 working days to OIP. In that event,\n     UNMOVIC and/or IAEA will reconsider the item(s) in accordance with the procedures set out in\n     paragraphs 4 to 6 above. The decision of UNMOVIC and/or IAEA will be final and no further\n     reconsideration will be permitted. UNMOVIC and/or IAEA will provide to the 661 Committee through\n     OIP a written explanation of the final decision of the reconsideration process. Applications shall not be\n     forwarded to the 661 Committee until the reconsideration period has expired without a request being\n     filed.\n\n\n\n\n4\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/1409 (2002)\n\n\n12 – Upon receipt of an application pursuant to paragraphs 9 or 11 above, the 661 Committee will have 10\n     working days to determine under existing procedures whether the item(s) may be sold or supplied to Iraq.\n     The Committee may take a decision on an item(s) according to the following options: (a) Approval;\n     (b) Approval subject to conditions as stipulated by the Committee; (c) Denial; (d) Request for additional\n     information. Absent action by the Committee within the 10-working-day period, the application will be\n     considered approved. A Committee member may request additional information. If the additional\n     information is not provided in a 90-day period, the item(s) will be considered supplier-inactive and no\n     further action on the application will be taken until the information is provided. If the requested\n     information is not provided within a further 90 days, the application will be considered lapsed. OIP\n     should notify the submitting Mission or United Nations agency in writing of any change in the status of\n     the application. The Committee will have 20 working days to evaluate the requested additional\n     information once provided by the submitting Mission or United Nations agency. Absent action by the\n     Committee during the 20-working-day period, the item will be considered approved.\n13 – Where the 661 Committee does not approve an item(s) for sale or supply to Iraq, the Committee will\n     notify the submitting Mission or United Nations agency with an explanation through OIP accordingly. The\n     submitting Mission or United Nations agency will have 30 working days to petition OIP to have the 661\n     Committee reconsider its decision based on new information not previously included in the application as\n     reviewed by the 661 Committee. A decision by the 661 Committee on a petition received during this\n     period shall be made within five working days and shall be considered final. Absent such a petition within\n     30 working days, the item will be considered ineligible for sale or supply to Iraq and OIP will notify the\n     submitting Mission or United Nations agency accordingly.\n14 – If an item(s) is found ineligible for sale or supply to Iraq or is considered lapsed, the supplier may submit\n     a new application based on either a new or an amended contract, and the new application will be\n     evaluated under the procedures enumerated in this document and will append the original application (for\n     information purposes only and to facilitate review).\n15 – If an item(s) is substituted for an item(s) that is either found ineligible for sale or supply to Iraq or is\n     considered lapsed, the new item(s) will be submitted as a new application under the procedures\n     enumerated in this document and will append the original application (for information purposes only and\n     to facilitate review).\n16 – Experts from OIP, UNMOVIC and IAEA who evaluate applications should be drawn from the broadest\n     possible geographical base.\n17 – The United Nations Secretariat will report to the 661 Committee at the end of each phase on the status of\n     all applications submitted during this period, including contracts recirculated pursuant to paragraph 18\n     below. The Secretariat will provide to members of the 661 Committee at their request copies of\n     applications approved by OIP, UNMOVIC and IAEA, within three working days after their approval, for\n     information purposes only.\n\n\n\n\n                                                                                                                     5\n\nS/RES/1409 (2002)\n\n\n18 – OIP will divide contracts currently on hold into two categories — category A and category B. Category A\n     will contain contracts on hold that have been designated by UNMOVIC as containing item(s) on one or\n     more of the UNSCR resolution 1051 lists. Category A will also contain contracts that were both processed\n     before the Security Council adopted UNSCR resolution 1284 and assessed by one or more members of the\n     Sanctions Committee as containing item(s) on one or more of the UNSCR resolution 1051 lists. OIP will\n     consider contracts in category A to be “returned to the submitting Mission or United Nations agency” and\n     will notify the submitting Mission or United Nations agency accordingly, including national comments if\n     possible. The submitting Mission or United Nations agency may submit a contract in category A as a new\n     application under the GRL procedures. In category B will be all other contracts currently on hold.\n     Contracts in category B will be recirculated by OIP under the GRL procedures. OIP will append the\n     original committee registration number and national comments, for information purposes only, to any\n     recirculated contracts. OIP should start this recirculation procedure within 60 days of adoption of this\n     resolution and should complete the recirculation process within 60 days thereafter.\n\n\n\n\n6\n\n                                                                                                                         S/RES/1409 (2002)\n\n                                                                                                              May 2002 - REVISED\n\n                             SECURITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED BY RESOLUTION 661 (1990)\n                                   CONCERNING THE SITUATION BETWEEN IRAQ AND KUWAIT\n                             NOTIFICATION OR REQUEST TO SHIP GOODS TO IRAQ\n           For further guidance regarding completion of application please consult OIP web site (www.un.org/Depts/oip/index)\n                                            (TO BE COMPLETED BY THE SECRETARIAT)\nCOMM.

Stresses the urgent need for progress on the question of the refugees and\n               internally displaced persons, calls on both sides to display a genuine commitment to\n               make returns the focus of special attention and to undertake this task in close\n\n\n\n2\n\n                                                                                     S/RES/1427 (2002)\n\n\ncoordination with UNOMIG, reaffirms the unacceptability of the demographic\nchanges resulting from the conflict, reaffirms also the inalienable right of all\nrefugees and internally displaced persons affected by the conflict to return to their\nhomes in secure and dignified conditions, in accordance with international law and\nas set out in the Quadripartite Agreement of 4 April 1994 (S/1994/397, annex II) and\nthe Yalta Declaration, recalls that the Abkhaz side bears a particular responsibility\nto protect the returnees and to facilitate the return of the remaining displaced\npopulation, and requests further measures to be undertaken inter alia by the United\nNations Development Programme, the Office of the United Nations High\nCommissioner for Refugees and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian\nAffairs to create conditions conducive to the return of refugees and internally\ndisplaced persons, including through quick-impact projects, to develop their skills\nand to increase their self-reliance, with full respect for their inalienable right to\nreturn to their homes in secure and dignified conditions;\n      13. Urges once again the parties to implement the recommendations of the\njoint assessment mission to the Gali district, carried out under the aegis of the\nUnited Nations, welcomes the agreement of the parties in this regard to explore the\npossibility of enhancing support for local law enforcement agencies, and calls in\nparticular on the Abkhaz side to improve law enforcement involving the local\npopulation and to address the lack of instruction in their mother tongue for the\nethnic Georgian population;\n      14. Calls on both parties publicly to dissociate themselves from militant\nrhetoric and demonstrations of support for military options and for the activities of\nillegal armed groups, and reminds the Georgian side in particular to uphold its\ncommitment to put an end to the activities of illegal armed groups;\n     15.

Deploring the fact that Iraq has not provided an accurate, full, final, and\n               complete disclosure, as required by resolution 687 (1991), of all aspects of its\n               programmes to develop weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles with a\n               range greater than one hundred and fifty kilometres, and of all holdings of such\n               weapons, their

resolutions, of\n               weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles, in spite of the Council’s repeated\n               demands that Iraq provide immediate, unconditional, and unrestricted access to the\n               United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC),\n               established in resolution 1284 (1999) as the successor organization to UNSCOM,\n               and the IAEA, and regretting the consequent prolonging of the crisis in the region\n               and the suffering of the Iraqi people,\n                     Deploring also that the Government of Iraq has failed to comply with its\n               commitments pursuant to resolution 687 (1991) with regard to terrorism, pursuant to\n               resolution 688 (1991) to end repression of its civilian population and to provide\n               access by international humanitarian organizations to all those in need of assistance\n               in Iraq, and pursuant to resolutions 686 (1991), 687 (1991), and 1284 (1999) to\n               return or cooperate in accounting for Kuwaiti and third country nationals wrongfully\n               detained by Iraq, or to return Kuwaiti property wrongfully seized by Iraq,\n                    Recalling that in its resolution 687 (1991) the Council declared that a ceasefire\n               would be based on acceptance by Iraq of the provisions of that resolution, including\n               the obligations on Iraq contained therein,\n                    Determined to ensure full and immediate compliance by Iraq without\n               conditions or restrictions with its obligations under resolution 687 (1991) and other\n               relevant resolutions and recalling that the resolutions of the Council constitute the\n               governing standard of Iraqi compliance,\n                    Recalling that the effective operation of UNMOVIC, as the successor\n               organization to the Special Commission, and the IAEA is essential for the\n               implementation of resolution 687 (1991) and other relevant resolutions,\n                     Noting that the letter dated 16 September 2002 from the Minister for Foreign\n               Affairs of Iraq addressed to the Secretary-General is a necessary first step toward\n               rectifying Iraq’s continued failure to comply with relevant Council resolutions,\n                     Noting further the letter dated 8 October 2002 from the Executive Chairman of\n               UNMOVIC and the Director-General of the IAEA to General Al-Saadi of the\n               Government of Iraq laying out the practical arrangements, as a follow-up to their\n               meeting in Vienna, that are prerequisites for the resumption of inspections in Iraq by\n               UNMOVIC and the IAEA, and expressing the gravest concern at the continued\n               failure by the Government of Iraq to provide confirmation of the arrangements as\n               laid out in that letter,\n                     Reaffirming the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty and\n               territorial integrity of Iraq, Kuwait, and the neighbouring States,\n                     Commending the Secretary-General and members of the League of Arab States\n               and its Secretary-General for their efforts in this regard,\n                    Determined to secure full compliance with its decisions,\n                    Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n\n\n\n\n2\n\n                                                                                     S/RES/1441 (2002)\n\n\n     1.    Decides that Iraq has been and remains in material breach of its\nobligations under relevant resolutions, including resolution 687 (1991), in particular\nthrough Iraq’s failure to cooperate with United Nations inspectors and the IAEA,\nand to complete the actions required under paragraphs 8 to 13 of resolution 687\n(1991);\n      2.   Decides, while acknowledging paragraph 1 above, to afford Iraq, by this\nresolution, a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations under\nrelevant resolutions of the Council; and accordingly decides to set up an enhanced\ninspection regime with the aim of bringing to full and verified completion the\ndisarmament process established by resolution 687 (1991) and subsequent\nresolutions of the Council;\n      3.

Decides that false statements or omissions in the declarations submitted\nby Iraq pursuant to this resolution and failure by Iraq at any time to comply with,\nand cooperate fully in the implementation of, this resolution shall constitute a\nfurther material breach of Iraq’s obligations and will be reported to the Council for\nassessment in accordance with paragraphs 11 and 12 below;\n      5.    Decides that Iraq shall provide UNMOVIC and the IAEA immediate,\nunimpeded, unconditional, and unrestricted access to any and all, including\nunderground, areas, facilities, buildings, equipment, records, and means of transport\nwhich they wish to inspect, as well as immediate, unimpeded, unrestricted, and\nprivate access to all officials and other persons whom UNMOVIC or the IAEA wish\nto interview in the mode or location of UNMOVIC’s or the IAEA’s choice pursuant\nto any aspect of their mandates; further decides that UNMOVIC and the IAEA may\nat their discretion conduct interviews inside or outside of Iraq, may facilitate the\ntravel of those interviewed and family members outside of Iraq, and that, at the sole\ndiscretion of UNMOVIC and the IAEA, such interviews may occur without the\npresence of observers from the Iraqi Government; and instructs UNMOVIC and\nrequests the IAEA to resume inspections no later than 45 days following adoption of\nthis resolution and to update the Council 60 days thereafter;\n       6.    Endorses the 8 October 2002 letter from the Executive Chairman of\nUNMOVIC and the Director-General of the IAEA to General Al-Saadi of the\nGovernment of Iraq, which is annexed hereto, and decides that the contents of the\nletter shall be binding upon Iraq;\n     7.    Decides further that, in view of the prolonged interruption by Iraq of the\npresence of UNMOVIC and the IAEA and in order for them to accomplish the tasks\n\n\n\n                                                                                                    3\n\nS/RES/1441 (2002)\n\n\n               set forth in this resolution and all previous relevant resolutions and notwithstanding\n               prior understandings, the Council hereby establishes the following revised or\n               additional authorities, which shall be binding upon Iraq, to facilitate their work in\n               Iraq:\n                    – UNMOVIC and the IAEA shall determine the composition of their inspection\n                      teams and ensure that these teams are composed of the most qualified and\n                      experienced experts available;\n                    – All UNMOVIC and IAEA personnel shall enjoy the privileges and immunities,\n                      corresponding to those of experts on mission, provided in the Convention on\n                      Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations and the Agreement on the\n                      Privileges and Immunities of the IAEA;\n                    – UNMOVIC and the IAEA shall have unrestricted rights of entry into and out\n                      of Iraq, the right to free, unrestricted, and immediate movement to and from\n                      inspection sites, and the right to inspect any sites and buildings, including\n                      immediate, unimpeded, unconditional, and unrestricted access to Presidential\n                      Sites equal to that at other sites, notwithstanding the provisions of resolution\n                      1154 (1998) of 2 March 1998;\n                    – UNMOVIC and the IAEA shall have the right to be provided by Iraq the\n                      names of all personnel currently and formerly associated with Iraq’s chemical,\n                      biological, nuclear, and ballistic missile programmes and the associated\n                      research, development, and production facilities;\n                    – Security of UNMOVIC and IAEA facilities shall be ensured by sufficient\n                      United Nations security guards;\n                    – UNMOVIC and the IAEA shall have the right to declare, for the purposes of\n                      freezing a site to be inspected, exclusion zones, including surrounding areas\n                      and transit corridors, in which Iraq will suspend ground and aerial movement\n                      so that nothing is changed in or taken out of a site being inspected;\n                    – UNMOVIC and the IAEA shall have the free and unrestricted use and landing\n                      of fixed- and rotary-winged aircraft, including manned and unmanned\n                      reconnaissance vehicles;\n                    – UNMOVIC and the IAEA shall have the right at their sole discretion verifiably\n                      to remove, destroy, or render harmless all prohibited weapons, subsystems,\n                      components, records, materials, and other related items, and the right to\n                      impound or close any facilities or equipment for the production thereof; and\n                    – UNMOVIC and the IAEA shall have the right to free import and use of\n                      equipment or materials for inspections and to seize and export any equipment,\n                      materials, or documents taken during inspections, without search of\n                      UNMOVIC or IAEA personnel or official or personal baggage;\n                    8.

As you recall, at the end of our meeting in\nVienna we agreed on a statement which listed some of the principal results achieved, particularly Iraq’s\nacceptance of all the rights of inspection provided for in all of the relevant Security Council resolutions. This\nacceptance was stated to be without any conditions attached.\n\n     During our 3 October 2002 briefing to the Security Council, members of the Council suggested that we\nprepare a written document on all of the conclusions we reached in Vienna. This letter lists those conclusions and\nseeks your confirmation thereof. We shall report accordingly to the Security Council.\n\n     In the statement at the end of the meeting, it was clarified that UNMOVIC and the IAEA will be granted\nimmediate, unconditional and unrestricted access to sites, including what was termed “sensitive sites” in the past.\nAs we noted, however, eight presidential sites have been the subject of special procedures under a Memorandum\nof Understanding of 1998. Should these sites be subject, as all other sites, to immediate, unconditional and\nunrestricted access, UNMOVIC and the IAEA would conduct inspections there with the same professionalism.\n\n\n\n\nH.E. General Amir H. Al-Saadi\nAdvisor\nPresidential Office\nBaghdad\nIraq\n\n\n\n\n6\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/1441 (2002)\n\n\n      We confirm our understanding that UNMOVIC and the IAEA have the right to determine the number of\ninspectors required for access to any particular site. This determination will be made on the basis of the size and\ncomplexity of the site being inspected. We also confirm that Iraq will be informed of the designation of additional\nsites, i.e. sites not declared by Iraq or previously inspected by either UNSCOM or the IAEA, through a\nNotification of Inspection (NIS) provided upon arrival of the inspectors at such sites.\n\n     Iraq will ensure that no proscribed material, equipment, records or other relevant items will be destroyed\nexcept in the presence of UNMOVIC and/or IAEA inspectors, as appropriate, and at their request.\n\n     UNMOVIC and the IAEA may conduct interviews with any person in Iraq whom they believe may have\ninformation relevant to their mandate. Iraq will facilitate such interviews. It is for UNMOVIC and the IAEA to\nchoose the mode and location for interviews.\n\n     The National Monitoring Directorate (NMD) will, as in the past, serve as the Iraqi counterpart for the\ninspectors. The Baghdad Ongoing Monitoring and Verification Centre (BOMVIC) will be maintained on the same\npremises and under the same conditions as was the former Baghdad Monitoring and Verification Centre. The\nNMD will make available services as before, cost free, for the refurbishment of the premises.\n\n      The NMD will provide free of cost: (a) escorts to facilitate access to sites to be inspected and\ncommunication with personnel to be interviewed; (b) a hotline for BOMVIC which will be staffed by an English\nspeaking person on a 24 hour a day/seven days a week basis; (c) support in terms of personnel and ground\ntransportation within the country, as requested; and (d) assistance in the movement of materials and equipment at\ninspectors’ request (construction, excavation equipment, etc.). NMD will also ensure that escorts are available in\nthe event of inspections outside normal working hours, including at night and on holidays.\n\n     Regional UNMOVIC/IAEA offices may be established, for example, in Basra and Mosul, for the use of their\ninspectors. For this purpose, Iraq will provide, without cost, adequate office buildings, staff accommodation, and\nappropriate escort personnel.\n\n     UNMOVIC and the IAEA may use any type of voice or data transmission, including satellite and/or inland\nnetworks, with or without encryption capability. UNMOVIC and the IAEA may also install equipment in the field\nwith the capability for transmission of data directly to the BOMVIC, New York and Vienna (e.g. sensors,\nsurveillance cameras). This will be facilitated by Iraq and there will be no interference by Iraq with UNMOVIC\nor IAEA communications.\n\n     Iraq will provide, without cost, physical protection of all surveillance equipment, and construct antennae for\nremote transmission of data, at the request of UNMOVIC and the IAEA. Upon request by UNMOVIC through the\nNMD, Iraq will allocate frequencies for communications equipment.\n\n      Iraq will provide security for all UNMOVIC and IAEA personnel. Secure and suitable accommodations will\nbe designated at normal rates by Iraq for these personnel. For their part, UNMOVIC and the IAEA will require\nthat their staff not stay at any accommodation other than those identified in consultation with Iraq.\n\n      On the use of fixed-wing aircraft for transport of personnel and equipment and for inspection purposes, it\nwas clarified that aircraft used by UNMOVIC and IAEA staff arriving in Baghdad may land at Saddam\nInternational Airport. The points of departure of incoming aircraft will be decided by UNMOVIC. The Rasheed\nairbase will continue to be used for UNMOVIC and IAEA helicopter operations. UNMOVIC and Iraq will\nestablish air liaison offices at the airbase. At both Saddam International Airport and Rasheed airbase, Iraq will\nprovide the necessary support premises and facilities. Aircraft fuel will be provided by Iraq, as before, free of\ncharge.\n\n\n\n                                                                                                                  7\n\nS/RES/1441 (2002)\n\n\n       On the wider issue of air operations in Iraq, both fixed-wing and rotary, Iraq will guarantee the safety of air\noperations in its air space outside the no-fly zones. With regard to air operations in the no-fly zones, Iraq will take\nall steps within its control to ensure the safety of such operations.\n\n     Helicopter flights may be used, as needed, during inspections and for technical activities, such as gamma\ndetection, without limitation in all parts of Iraq and without any area excluded. Helicopters may also be used for\nmedical evacuation.\n\n     On the question of aerial imagery, UNMOVIC may wish to resume the use of U-2 or Mirage overflights.\nThe relevant practical arrangements would be similar to those implemented in the past.\n\n      As before, visas for all arriving staff will be issued at the point of entry on the basis of the UN Laissez-Passer or UN Certificate; no other entry or exit formalities will be required. The aircraft passenger manifest will\nbe provided one hour in advance of the arrival of the aircraft in Baghdad. There will be no searching of\nUNMOVIC or IAEA personnel or of official or personal baggage. UNMOVIC and the IAEA will ensure that their\npersonnel respect the laws of Iraq restricting the export of certain items, for example, those related to Iraq’s\nnational cultural heritage. UNMOVIC and the IAEA may bring into, and remove from, Iraq all of the items and\nmaterials they require, including satellite phones and other equipment. With respect to samples, UNMOVIC and\nIAEA will, where feasible, split samples so that Iraq may receive a portion while another portion is kept for\nreference purposes. Where appropriate, the organizations will send the samples to more than one laboratory for\nanalysis.\n\n     We would appreciate your confirmation of the above as a correct reflection of our talks in Vienna.\n\n     Naturally, we may need other practical arrangements when proceeding with inspections. We would expect in\nsuch matters, as with the above, Iraq’s co-operation in all respect.\n\n                                                                                Yours sincerely,\n\n(Signed)                                                                        (Signed)\nHans Blix                                                                       Mohamed ElBaradei\nExecutive Chairman                                                              Director General\nUnited Nations Monitoring,                                                      International Atomic Energy Agency\nVerification and Inspection Commission\n\n\n\n\n8\n", "text_length": 24882, "title": "Security Council resolution 1441 (2002) [on decision to set up an enhanced inspection regime to ensure Iraq's compliance of its disarmament obligations]", "agenda_information": "S/57 [120] IRAQ-KUWAIT SITUATION", "subjects": "UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission|IAEA|UN.

The following procedures replace paragraphs 29 to 34 of document\nS/1996/636* and other existing procedures, notably for the implementation of the\nrelevant provisions of paragraphs 17, 18, and 25 of resolution 1284 (1999) related to\nthe processing of applications to be financed from the escrow account established\npursuant to paragraph 7 of resolution 986 (1995).\n\n2. Each application (the \"Notification or Request to Ship Goods to Iraq,\" as\nattached to these procedures, hereafter referred to as \"the application,\") for the sale\nor supply of commodities or products to include services ancillary to the supply of\nsuch commodities and products, to Iraq to be financed from the escrow account\nestablished pursuant to paragraph 7 of resolution 986 (1995) must be forwarded to\nthe Office of the Iraq Programme (OIP) by the exporting States through permanent\nor observer missions, or by United Nations agencies and programmes. Each\napplication should include complete technical specifications, as requested in the\nstandard application form, concluded arrangements (e.g., contracts), and other\nrelevant information, including, if known, whether the application contains any\nitem(s) covered by the Goods Review List (GRL), in order for a determination to be\nmade on whether the application contains any item referred to in paragraph 24 of\nresolution 687 (1991) as it relates to military commodities and products, or militaryrelated commodities or products covered by the GRL.\n\n3. Each application will be reviewed and registered by OIP within ten working\ndays. In the case of a technically incomplete application, OIP may request additional\ninformation before transmitting the application to the United Nations Monitoring,\nVerification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) and the International Atomic\nEnergy Agency (IAEA). If OIP determines that the requested information is not\nprovided within 90 days, the application will be considered supplier-inactive and no\nfurther action on the application will be taken until the information is provided. If\nthe requested information is not received within a further 90 days, the application\nwill lapse. OIP should notify the submitting mission or United Nations agency in\nwriting of any change in the status of the application. The OIP will identify an\nofficial to act as a contact point on each application.\n\n4. After OIP registration of the application, each application will be evaluated by\ntechnical experts from UNMOVIC and IAEA in order to determine whether the\napplication contains any item referred to in paragraph 24 of resolution 687 (1991) as\nit relates to military commodities and products, or military-related commodities or\nproducts covered by the GRL (GRL item(s)). At their discretion and subject to the\napproval of the 661 Committee, UNMOVIC and IAEA may issue guidance\nregarding what categories of applications do not contain any item(s) covered by\nparagraph 24 of resolution 687 (1991) as it relates to military commodities and\nproducts, or military-related commodities or products covered by the GRL.\nUNMOVIC, IAEA and OIP, working in consultation, may develop a procedure\nwhereby OIP may evaluate and approve applications that, based on this guidance,\nfall within these categories.\n\nUNMOVIC and IAEA should put into their records the information about the\napplications mentioned in subparagraphs a, b, c and d below, without prejudice to\nthe review of these applications under the current procedures, and this information\n\fS/RES/1454 (2002)\n\n10\n\nshould be subject to review, together with the reviews of the GRL and its procedures\nas set forth in paragraph 2 of this resolution, when:\n\n(a) An application contains information about an item reviewed by\nUNMOVIC and IAEA that can be applied to weapons of mass destruction or\nmissiles systems, or increase conventional military capabilities; or,\n\n(b) The technical review of an application by UNMOVIC and IAEA yields\nambiguity as to whether the technical specifications of any item included in such\napplication are items covered by the GRL; or,\n\n(c) The technical evaluation of any application conducted by UNMOVIC or\nIAEA determines that the amount of any item included in an application exceeds\nrequirements typically associated with the civilian end use and the item is deemed to\nhave potential military applications;\n\n(d) The 661 Committee may request that Iraq explain the apparent\nstockpiling of an item through its purchases, and may request that OIP conduct an\nindependent investigation.\n\nIn general, when experience under resolution 1409 (2002) and this resolution\nindicates to OIP, UNMOVIC, and the IAEA a need for adjustment of the Goods\nReview List and its procedures with a view to facilitating the flow of humanitarian\ngoods to Iraq, then OIP, UNMOVIC, and the IAEA shall recommend appropriate\nadjustments for consideration by the Council in the context of regular reviews of the\nGoods Review List and its procedures.\n\n5. Military goods and services are prohibited for sale or supply to Iraq under\nparagraph 24 of resolution 687 (1991) and are not subject to review under the GRL.\nFor consideration of dual-use goods and services referred to in paragraph 24 of\nresolution 687 (1991), UNMOVIC and IAEA should process these goods and\nservices pursuant to paragraph 9 of these procedures.\n\n6. Upon receipt of a registered application from OIP, UNMOVIC and/or IAEA\nwill have ten working days to evaluate an application as set forth in paragraphs 4\nand 5. Absent action by UNMOVIC and/or IAEA within the ten working day period,\nthe application will be considered approved. In the course of conducting the\ntechnical evaluation as set out in paragraphs 4 and 5 above, UNMOVIC and/or\nIAEA may request additional information from the submitting missions or United\nNations agency. The submitting mission or United Nations agency should provide\nthe additional information requested within a period of 90 days. Once UNMOVIC\nand/or IAEA receive the requested information, UNMOVIC and/or IAEA will have\nten working days to evaluate the application under the procedure set forth in\nparagraphs 4 and 5.\n\n7. If UNMOVIC and/or IAEA determine that the submitting mission or United\nNations agency has not provided the requested additional information within the 90-\nday period set out in paragraph 6 above, the application will be considered supplierinactive and no further action on the application will be taken until the information\nis provided. If the requested information is not provided within a further 90 days,\nthe application will lapse. OIP should notify the submitting mission or United\nNations agency in writing of any change in the status of the application.\n\n8. If UNMOVIC and/or the IAEA determine that the application contains any\nitem referred to in paragraph 24 of resolution 687 (1991) as it relates to military\n\fS/RES/1454 (2002)\n\ncommodities and products, the application shall be considered ineligible for\napproval for the sale or supply to Iraq. UNMOVIC and/or IAEA will provide to the\nsubmitting mission or United Nations agency through OIP a written explanation of\nthis determination.\n\n9. If UNMOVIC and/or IAEA determine that the application contains any GRL\nitem(s), they will immediately inform through OIP the submitting mission or United\nNations agency. Pursuant to paragraph 11 below, absent a request by the submitting\nmission or United Nations agency for reconsideration within ten working days, OIP\nwill forward the application containing the GRL item(s) to the 661 Committee for\nthe purpose of evaluating whether the GRL item(s) may be sold or supplied to Iraq.\nUNMOVIC and/or IAEA will provide to the 661 Committee through OIP a written\nexplanation of this determination. In addition, OIP, UNMOVIC and/or IAEA, at the\nrequest of the submitting mission or United Nations agency, will provide to the 661\nCommittee a complete and thorough assessment of the humanitarian, economic and\nsecurity implications, of the approval or denial of the GRL item(s), including the\nviability of the whole contract in which the GRL item(s) appears and the risk of\ndiversion of the item(s) for military purposes. The assessment provided by OIP to\nthe 661 Committee should be transmitted in parallel by OIP to the submitting\nmission or United Nations agency. OIP will immediately inform appropriate United\nNations agents of the finding of a GRL item(s) in the application and that the GRL\nitem(s) may not be sold or supplied to Iraq unless otherwise notified by OIP that the\nprocedures set forth in paragraphs 11 or 12 have resulted in approval for sale or\nsupply of the GRL item to Iraq. The remaining items in the application, which are\ndetermined as not covered by the GRL, will be considered approved for sale or\nsupply to Iraq and, at the discretion of the submitting mission or United Nations\nagency, and with the consent of the contracting parties, will be processed according\nto the procedure in paragraph 10 below. The relevant approval letter may be issued\nfor such approved items under request from the submitting mission or United\nNations agency.\n\n10. If UNMOVIC and/or IAEA determine that the application does not contain any\nitem referred to in paragraph 4 above, OIP will inform immediately the Government\nof Iraq and the submitting mission or United Nations agency in written form. The\nexporter will be eligible for payment from the escrow account established pursuant\nto paragraph 7 of resolution 986 (1995) upon verification by United Nations agents\nthat the items in the application have arrived in Iraq as contracted. OIP and the\nUnited Nations Treasury will inform the banks within five working days that the\nitems in the application have arrived in Iraq.\n\n11. If the mission or United Nations agency submitting an application disagrees\nwith the determination that an application contains an item(s) covered by paragraph\n24 of resolution 687 as it relates to military commodities and products, or militaryrelated commodities or products covered by the GRL, it may request a\nreconsideration of this decision, based on the provision of technical information\nand/or explanations not previously included in the application, within ten working\ndays to OIP. In that event, UNMOVIC and/or IAEA, will appoint experts to\nreconsider the item(s) in accordance with the procedures set out in paragraphs 4 to 6\nabove. The decision of UNMOVIC and/or TAEA will be final and no further\nreconsideration will be permitted. UNMOVIC and/or IAEA will provide to the 661\nCommittee through OIP a written explanation of the final decision of the\n\n11\n\fS/RES/1454 (2002)\n\n12\n\nreconsideration process. Applications shall not be forwarded to the 661 Committee\nuntil the reconsideration period has expired without a request being filed.\n\n12. Upon receipt of an application pursuant to paragraphs 9 or 11 above, the 661\nCommittee will have 10 working days to determine under existing procedures\nwhether the item(s) may be sold or supplied to Iraq. The Committee may take a\ndecision on an item(s) according to the following options: (a) Approval;\n(b) Approval subject to conditions as stipulated by the 661 Committee; (c) Denial;\n(d) Request for additional information. Absent action by the Committee within the\n10 working day period, the application will be considered approved. A Committee\nmember may request additional information. If the additional information is not\nprovided in the 90-day period, the item(s) will be considered supplier-inactive and\nno further action on the application will be taken until the information is provided.\nIf the requested information is not provided within a further 90 days, the application\nwill be considered lapsed. OIP should notify the submitting mission or United\nNations agency in writing of any change in the status of the application. The 661\nCommittee will have 20 working days to evaluate the requested additional\ninformation once provided by the submitting mission or United Nations agency.\nAbsent action by the Committee during the 20 working day period, the item will be\nconsidered approved.\n\n13. Where the 661 Committee does not approve an item(s) for sale or supply to\nIraq, the Committee will notify the submitting mission or United Nations agency\nwith an explanation through OIP accordingly. The submitting mission or United\nNations agency will have 30 working days to petition OIP to have the 661\nCommittee reconsider its decision based on new information not previously included\nin the application as reviewed by the 661 Committee. A decision by the 661\nCommittee on a petition received during this period shall be made within five\nworking days and shall be considered final. Absent such a petition within 30\nworking days, the item will be considered ineligible for sale or supply to Iraq and\nOIP will notify the submitting mission or United Nations agency accordingly.\n\n14. If an item(s) is found ineligible for sale or supply to Iraq or if an application is\nconsidered lapsed, the supplier may submit a new application based on either a new\nor an amended contract or donation documentation, and the new application will be\nevaluated under the procedures enumerated in this document and will append the\noriginal application (for information purposes only and to facilitate review).\n\n15. If an item(s) is substituted for an item(s) that is either found ineligible for sale\nor supply to Iraq or is considered lapsed, the new item(s) will be submitted as a new\napplication under the procedures enumerated in this document and will append the\noriginal application (for information purposes only and to facilitate review).\n\n16. Experts from OIP, UNMOVIC and IAEA who evaluate applications should be\ndrawn from the broadest possible geographical base.\n\n17. The United Nations Secretariat will report to the 661 Committee at the end of\neach phase on the status of all applications submitted during this period, including\ncontracts recirculated pursuant to paragraph 18 below. The Secretariat will provide\nto members of the 661 Committee, at their request, copies of applications approved\nby OIP, UNMOVIC, and IAEA, within three working days after their approval, for\ninformation purposes only.\n\fS/RES/1454 (2002)\n\n18. Notwithstanding provisions of paragraph 17 above, all technical information\ntransmitted to OIP, UNMOVIC and/or IAEA by the submitting missions or United\nNations agency in accordance with these procedures is totally confidential.\n\n19. OIP will divide contracts currently on hold into two categories: category A and\ncategory B. Category A will contain contracts on hold that have been designated by\nUNMOVIC as containing item(s) on one or more of the United Nations Security\nCouncil resolution 1051 lists. Category A will also contain contracts that were both\nprocessed before the Security Council adopted United Nations Security Council\nresolution 1284 and assessed by one or more members of the 661 Committee as\ncontaining item(s) on one or more of the United Nations Security Council resolution\n1051 lists. OIP will consider contracts in category A to be \"returned to the\nsubmitting mission or United Nations agency\" and will notify the submitting\nmission or United Nations agency accordingly, including national comments if\npossible. The submitting mission or United Nations agency may submit a contract in\ncategory A as a new application under the GRL procedures. In category B will be all\nother contracts currently on hold. Contracts in category B will be recirculated by\nOIP under the GRL procedures. OIP will append the original committee registration\nnumber and national comments, for information purposes only, to any recirculated\ncontracts. OIP should start this recirculation procedure within 60 days of adoption of\nthis resolution and should complete the recirculation process within 60 days\nthereafter.\n\n20. OIP shall approve humanitarian consumption rates and use levels for each\nchemical and medication specified in items 1, 2, 4, 5 and 8, Chemical Section and\nitem 1 and 4, Biological Section of Annex A to the resolution. In establishing\nconsumption rates, OIP shall be guided by information of typical civilian utilization\nof each item specified as appropriate for different periods of the year. OIP shall be\nguided further by the Council's central objective to facilitate and expedite the flow\nof medicines and medicinal chemicals for the benefit of the Iraqi people while\nproviding the Council an opportunity to prevent stockpiling of such items to support\nmilitary and weapons of mass destruction/missile applications. Proposed purchases\nby Iraq of these items that do not exceed the consumption rates established for each\nitem shall be approved by the Secretariat; proposed purchases of these items that\nexceed the established consumption rates shall be referred to the 661 Committee for\nreview consistent with these procedures. OIP shall process applications for these\nmaterials in the interim 60-day period prior to the implementation of this paragraph\nunder the procedures established pursuant to resolution 1409 (2002).\n\n13\n\f\fS/RES/1454 (2002)\n\nDecember 2002 - REVISED FORM\n\nSECURITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED BY RESOLUTION 661 (1990)\nCONCERNING THE SITUATION BETWEEN IRAQ AND KUWAIT\n\nNOTIFICATION OR REQUEST TO SHIP GOODS TO IRAQ\n\nFor further guidance regarding completion of application please consult OIP website (www.un.org/Depts/oip)\n(TO BE COMPLETED BY THE UN SECRETARIAT)\n\nCOMM.

The Counter-Terrorism Committee must intensify its efforts to promote the\n     implementation by Member States of all aspects of resolution 1373 (2001), in\n     particular through reviewing States’ reports and facilitating international\n     assistance and cooperation, and through continuing to operate in a transparent\n     and effective manner, and in that regard the Council;\n           (i)    stresses the obligation on States to report to the CTC, according to\n                  the timetable set by the CTC, calls on the 13 States who have not\n                  yet submitted a first report and on the 56 States who are late in\n                  submitting further reports to do so by 31 March, and requests the\n                  CTC to report regularly on progress;\n           (ii)   calls on States to respond promptly and fully to the CTC’s requests\n                  for information, comments and questions in full and on time, and\n                  instructs the CTC to inform the Council of progress, including any\n                  difficulties it encounters;\n           (iii) requests the CTC in monitoring the implementation of resolution\n                 1373 (2001) to bear in mind all international best practices, codes\n                 and standards which are relevant to the implementation of\n                 resolution 1373 (2001), and underlines its support for the CTC’s\n                 approach in constructing a dialogue with each State on further\n                 action required to fully implement resolution 1373 (2001);\n5.   States should assist each other to improve their capacity to prevent and fight\n     terrorism, and notes that such cooperation will help facilitate the full and\n     timely implementation of resolution 1373 (2001), and invites the CTC to step\n     up its efforts to facilitate the provision of technical and other assistance by\n     developing targets and priorities for global action;\n6.   States must ensure that any measure taken to combat terrorism comply with all\n     their obligations under international law, and should adopt such measures in\n     accordance with international law, in particular international human rights,\n     refugee, and humanitarian law;\n7.   International organizations should evaluate ways in which they can enhance\n     the effectiveness of their action against terrorism, including by establishing\n     dialogue and exchanges of information with each other and with other relevant\n     international actors, and directs this appeal in particular to those technical\n     agencies and organizations whose activities relate to the control of the use of\n\n\n                                                                                                    3\n\nS/RES/1456 (2003)\n\n\n                     or access to nuclear, chemical, biological and other deadly materials; in this\n                     context the importance of fully complying with existing legal obligations in\n                     the field of disarmament, arms limitation and non-proliferation and, where\n                     necessary, strengthening international instruments in this field should be\n                     underlined;\n               8.    Regional and subregional organizations should work with the CTC and other\n                     international organizations to facilitate sharing of best practice in the fight\n                     against terrorism, and to assist their members in fulfilling their obligation to\n                     combat terrorism;\n               9.    Those participating in the Special Meeting of the Counter-Terrorism\n                     Committee with international regional and subregional organizations on 7\n                     March 2003 should use that opportunity to make urgent progress on the\n                     matters referred to in this declaration which involve the work of such\n                     organizations;\n                                                          * * *\n                     The Security Council also:\n               10.   emphasizes that continuing international efforts to enhance dialogue and\n                     broaden the understanding among civilizations, in an effort to prevent the\n                     indiscriminate targeting of different religions and cultures, to further\n                     strengthen the campaign against terrorism, and to address unresolved regional\n                     conflicts and the full range of global issues, including development issues, will\n                     contribute to international cooperation and collaboration, which by themselves\n                     are necessary to sustain the broadest possible fight against terrorism;\n               11.   reaffirms its strong determination to intensify its fight against terrorism in\n                     accordance with its responsibilities under the Charter of the United Nations,\n                     and takes note of the contributions made during its meeting on 20 January\n                     2003 with a view to enhancing the role of the United Nations in this regard,\n                     and invites Member States to make further contributions to this end;\n               12.   invites the Secretary General to present a report within 28 days summarizing\n                     any proposals made during its ministerial meeting and any commentary or\n                     response to these proposals by any Security Council member;\n               13.   encourages Member States of the United Nations to cooperate in resolving all\n                     outstanding issues with a view to the adoption, by consensus, of the draft\n                     comprehensive convention on international terrorism and the draft\n                     international convention for the suppression of acts of nuclear terrorism;\n               14.   decides to review actions taken towards the realization of this declaration at\n                     further meetings of the Security Council.\n\n\n\n\n4\n", "text_length": 11133, "title": "Security Council resolution 1456 (2003) [on combating terrorism]", "agenda_information": "S/58 [31] TERRORISM", "subjects": "UN.

Strongly condemns the illegal exploitation of the natural resources of the\n               Democratic Republic of the Congo;\n                    3.   Notes with concern that the plundering of the natural resources and other\n               forms of wealth of the Democratic Republic of the Congo continues and is one of\n               the main elements fuelling the conflict in the region, and in this regard, demands\n\n\n03-22255 (E)\n*0322255*\n\nS/RES/1457 (2003)\n\n\n               that all States concerned take immediate steps to end these illegal activities, which\n               are perpetuating the conflict, impeding the economic development of the\n               Democratic Republic of the Congo, and exacerbating the suffering of its people;\n                    4.

Stresses that the completion of the withdrawal of all foreign troops from\n               the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo as well as the early\n               establishment of an all-inclusive transitional government in the country, which will\n               ensure that central government control is reinstated and that viable administrations\n               are empowered to protect and regulate the exploitation activities, are important steps\n               towards ending the plundering of the natural resources of the Democratic Republic\n               of the Congo;\n                    6.    Stresses also that the possible convening of an international conference\n               on peace, security, democracy and development in the Great Lakes region at the\n               appropriate time could help the States of the region in promoting a sound regional\n               economic integration, to the benefit of all the States in the region;\n                     7.

Stresses the importance of following up the independent findings of the\n               Panel regarding the link between the illegal exploitation of the natural resources of\n               the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the continuation of the conflict, stresses\n               the importance of exerting the necessary pressure to put an end to such exploitation,\n               notes that the reports of the Panel to date have made a useful contribution to the\n               peace process in this regard, and therefore requests the Secretary-General to give a\n               new mandate to the Panel for a period of six months at the end of which the Panel\n               should provide a report to the Council;\n                     9.

Urges all States, especially those in the region to conduct their own\ninvestigations, including as appropriate through judicial means, in order to clarify\ncredibly the findings of the Panel, taking into account the fact that the Panel, which\nis not a judicial body, does not have the resources to carry out an investigation\nwhereby these findings can be considered as established facts;\n     16. In this regard, notes with satisfaction the decision of the Attorney\nGeneral of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to start a judicial procedure,\ncommends the decision of the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo\nto suspend momentarily the officials named in the reports pending further\n\n\n\n                                                                                                     3\n\nS/RES/1457 (2003)\n\n\n               clarification, and requests the Panel to cooperate fully with the Office of the\n               Attorney General and to provide to this Office information it may need to conduct\n               its investigations, subject to the Panel’s duty to preserve the safety of its sources,\n               and in accordance with United Nations established practice in consultation with the\n               United Nations Office of Legal Affairs;\n                     17.

in trafficking in small arms and\n               light weapons and provide support for mercenary activities in West Africa.\n                     “The Security Council acknowledges the need to involve

small\n               arms and light weapons adopted by the Economic Community of West African\n               States (ECOWAS) on 31 October 1998 and of the Programme of Action adopted on\n

calls on the States of West Africa to consider the\n               following recommendations that might contribute to the more effective\n               implementation of the ECOWAS Moratorium on Small Arms:\n                     “(a) Broadening of the Moratorium to include an information exchange\n               mechanism for all types of small arms procured by ECOWAS member States as well\n               as for arms transfers by supplier countries;\n                     “(b) Enhancement of transparency in armaments, including through the\n               establishment of an ECOWAS register that would record national inventories of\n               small arms and light weapons;\n                     “(c) Strengthening national Commissions set up to oversee implementation of\n               the Moratorium, in terms of staffing and equipment, and developing national plans\n               of action;\n                     “(d) Taking necessary measures to build the capacity of the ECOWAS\n               secretariat;\n                     “(e) Computerization of aircraft registration lists to ensure better monitoring\n               of airspace, in accordance with the provisions of the Convention on International\n               Civil Aviation, signed at Chicago on 7 December 1944;\n                    “(f) Introduction of a standardized end-user certificate for imported weapons.\n                    “The Security Council expresses concern at the serious violations of the arms\n               embargoes in West Africa and calls on Member States to comply fully with the\n               relevant resolutions of the Council.\n\n\n\n\n2\n\n                                                                                     S/RES/1467 (2003)\n\n\n      “The Security Council expresses its concern at links between mercenary\nactivities, illicit arms trafficking and the violation of arms embargoes that help to\nfoster and prolong conflicts in West Africa.\n      “The Security Council emphasizes the need to make peoples and entities of the\nsubregion aware of the danger and consequences of the illicit trade in small arms\nand light weapons and of mercenary activities.\n      “The Security Council encourages all ECOWAS States, especially those most\naffected by the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons, to submit, as did other\nStates, national reports on actions undertaken to implement the United Nations\nprogramme of action for small arms and light weapons to the Secretary-General in\nadvance of the 2003 biennial review meeting.\n     “The Security Council appeals to the donor community to assist States of the\nsubregion in implementing and strengthening measures relating to the proliferation\nof small arms and light weapons and mercenary activities.\n      “The Security Council calls on relevant parties to conflicts in West Africa to\nrecognize the importance of activities related to disarmament, demobilization and\nreintegration in post-conflict situations, and of including such measures in the text\nof negotiated agreements, as well as specific measures for the collection and\ndisposal of illicit and/or surplus small arms.\n      “The Security Council calls on all States in the subregion to cease military\nsupport for armed groups in neighbouring countries, and to take action to prevent\narmed individuals and groups from using their territory to prepare and launch\nattacks on neighbouring countries.\n      “The Security Council calls on arms-producing and exporting countries that\nhave not yet done so to enact stringent laws, regulations and administrative\nprocedures in order to ensure, through their implementation, more effective control\nover the transfer to West Africa of small arms by manufacturers, suppliers, brokers,\nand shipping and transit agents, including a mechanism that would facilitate the\nidentification of illicit arms transfers, as well as careful scrutiny of end-user\ncertificates.\n      “The Security Council reiterates its call to regional and subregional\norganizations to develop policies, activities and advocacy for the benefit of waraffected children in their regions. In this regard, the Council welcomes the Accra\nDeclaration and Programme of Action on war-affected children and the subsequent\nestablishment of a Child Protection Unit at the ECOWAS secretariat.”\n\n\n\n\n                                                                                                    3\n", "text_length": 7216, "title": "Security Council resolution 1467 (2003) [on adoption of the declaration on the item entitled \"Proliferation of small arms and light weapons and mercenary activities : threats to peace and security in West Africa\"]", "agenda_information": "S/58 [100] AFRICA--REGIONAL SECURITY\nS/58 [193] SMALL ARMS", "subjects": "Economic Community of West African States|Declaration on Proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons and Mercenary Activities : Threat to Peace and Security in West Africa (2003)|Declaration of a Moratorium on the Importation, Exportation and Manufacture of Small Arms and Light Weapons in West Africa (1998)|Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects (2001)|SMALL ARMS|ILLICIT ARMS TRAFFICKING|MERCENARIES|REGIONAL SECURITY|WEST AFRICA|DECLARATIONS (TEXT)|HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS|HUMAN RIGHTS IN ARMED CONFLICTS|INFORMATION EXCHANGE|TRANSPARENCY IN ARMAMENTS|ARMS TRANSFERS|CAPACITY BUILDING|AUTOMATION|ARMS EMBARGO|REPORT PREPARATION|DISARMAMENT|LAWS AND REGULATIONS", "vote_yes": 15, "vote_no": 0, "vote_abstention": 0, "vote_total": 15, "is_unanimous": true, "voting_countries": [{"country": "ANGOLA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "BULGARIA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "CAMEROON", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "CHILE", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "CHINA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "FRANCE", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "GERMANY", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "GUINEA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "MEXICO", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "PAKISTAN", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "RUSSIAN FEDERATION", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "SPAIN", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "UNITED KINGDOM", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "UNITED STATES", "vote": "yes"}], "has_veto": false, "vetoed_by": [], "p5_abstentions": 0, "chapter6": false, "chapter7": false, "chapter8": false, "peace_threat": true, "peace_breach": false, "aggression": false, "self_defence": false, "human_rights": false, "enforcement_level": "threat", "m49_region": null, "m49_region_sub": null, "iso_alpha3": null, "iso_name": null, "cited_resolutions": ["1467"], "pdf_url_en": null, "meeting_record_url": null, "unified_id": 1655}

Strongly encourages the Congolese parties forming the transitional\n               government to establish as soon as possible a Truth and Reconciliation Commission\n               charged with determining responsibility for serious violations of international\n               humanitarian and human rights law, as set forth in the resolutions adopted in the\n               framework of the Inter-Congolese Dialogue in Sun City in April 2002;\n                     6.

Expresses its deep concern over the heavy fighting in Bunia, demands\n               that all parties to the conflict in Ituri immediately cease the hostilities and that all\n               parties sign an unconditional ceasefire agreement, stresses that they must cooperate\n               with MONUC to set up without further delay the Ituri Pacification Commission, and\n               also stresses that the necessary steps must be taken to restore public order in Bunia,\n               in accordance with the agreements reached among Congolese parties and within the\n               framework of the Ituri Pacification Commission;\n                     9.    Requests the Secretary-General to increase MONUC’s presence in the\n               Ituri area, as security conditions permit, in particular military observers and human\n               rights personnel, to monitor developments on the ground, including the use of\n\n\n2\n\n                                                                                     S/RES/1468 (2003)\n\n\nairfields in the Ituri area, and also requests MONUC to provide further support and\nassistance to humanitarian efforts as well as to facilitate the formation of the Ituri\nPacification Commission and assist the work of this commission as consistent with\nMONUC’s current mandate, in consultation with all the Congolese parties to the\nconflict;\n     10.

Expresses its deep concern at the rising tensions between Rwanda and\nUganda and their proxies on the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo,\nand stresses that the governments of these two countries must take steps to build\nmutual confidence, must settle their concerns through peaceful means, and without\nany interference in Congolese affairs, and must refrain from any action that could\nundermine the peace process;\n     14.

Regrets that, as described in the Secretary-General’s report, due to the\n               negative approach of the Turkish Cypriot leader, culminating in the position taken at\n               the 10-11 March 2003 meeting in The Hague, it was not possible to reach agreement\n               to put the plan to simultaneous referenda as suggested by the Secretary-General, and\n               thus that the Turkish Cypriots and the Greek Cypriots have been denied the\n               opportunity to decide for themselves on a plan that would have permitted the\n               reunification of Cyprus and as a consequence it will not be possible to achieve a\n               comprehensive settlement before 16 April 2003;\n                    4.   Gives its full support to the Secretary-General’s carefully balanced plan\n               of 26 February 2003 as a unique basis for further negotiations, and calls on all\n               concerned to negotiate within the framework of the Secretary-General’s Good\n               Offices, using the plan to reach a comprehensive settlement as set forth in\n               paragraphs 144-151 of the Secretary-General’s report;\n\n\n03-32310 (E)\n*0332310*\n\nS/RES/1475 (2003)\n\n\n                    5.    Stresses its full support for the Secretary-General’s mission of Good\n               Offices as entrusted to him in resolution 1250 (1999) and asks the Secretary-General\n               to continue to make available his Good Offices for Cyprus as outlined in his report;\n                    6.   Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.\n\n\n\n\n2\n", "text_length": 3385, "title": "Security Council resolution 1475 (2003) [on negotiations for a political settlement in Cyprus within the framework of the Secretary-General's mission of good offices]", "agenda_information": "S/58 [42] CYPRUS QUESTION", "subjects": "UN.

Reaffirms that an international conference on peace, security, democracy\nand development in the Great Lakes region of Africa, with participation by all the\nGovernments of the region and all the other parties concerned, should be organized\nat the appropriate time under the aegis of the United Nations and the African Union\n\n\n                                                                                                      5\n\nS/RES/1493 (2003)\n\n\n               with a view to strengthening stability in the region and working out conditions that\n               will enable everyone to enjoy the right to live peacefully within national borders;\n                    31.

Welcomes the report of the Secretary-General of 21 July 2003\n               (S/2003/751);\n                    2.   Reaffirms the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty,\n               independence and territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally\n\n\n03-44649 (E)\n*\n034\n  464\n    9*\n\nS/RES/1494 (2003)\n\n\n               recognized borders, and the necessity to define the status of Abkhazia within the\n               State of Georgia in strict accordance with these principles;\n                     3.   Commends and strongly supports the sustained efforts of the Secretary-General and his Special Representative, with the assistance of the Russian\n               Federation in its capacity as facilitator as well as of the Group of Friends of the\n               Secretary-General and of the OSCE, to promote the stabilization of the situation and\n               the achievement of a comprehensive political settlement, which must include a\n               settlement of the political status of Abkhazia within the State of Georgia;\n                      4.    Stresses, in particular, its strong support for the document on “Basic\n               Principles for the Distribution of Competences between Tbilisi and Sukhumi” and\n               for its letter of transmittal, finalized by, and with the full support of, all members of\n               the Group of Friends;\n                     5.   Deeply regrets the continued refusal of the Abkhaz side to agree to a\n               discussion on the substance of this document, again strongly urges the Abkhaz side\n               to receive the document and its transmittal letter, urges both parties thereafter to\n               give them full and open consideration, and to engage in constructive negotiations on\n               their substance, and urges those having influence with the parties to promote this\n               outcome;\n                     6.    Regrets the lack of progress on the initiation of political status\n               negotiations, and recalls, once again, that the purpose of these documents is to\n               facilitate meaningful negotiations between the parties, under the leadership of the\n               United Nations, on the status of Abkhazia within the State of Georgia, and is not an\n               attempt to impose or dictate any specific solution to the parties;\n                     7.    Underlines further that the process of negotiation leading to a lasting\n               political settlement acceptable to both sides will require concessions from both\n               sides;\n                     8.   Welcomes the convening of two meetings of senior representatives of the\n               Group of Friends in Geneva and particularly welcomes the participation in a\n               positive spirit of representatives of the two parties at the second meeting;\n                     9.    Welcomes also the identification in the first Geneva meeting of three sets\n               of issues as key to advancing the peace process (economic cooperation, the return of\n               internally displaced persons and refugees, political and security matters) and the\n               following work on the substance of those issues, including in bilateral working\n               groups by Russia and Georgia as agreed by the two Presidents in their meeting in\n               Sochi in March 2003, and also in the initial high-level meeting of the parties on 15\n               July 2003, chaired by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and with\n               the participation of the Group of Friends;\n                     10. Further welcomes the commitment of the parties to continue their\n               dialogue on economic cooperation, refugee returns as well as political and security\n               matters regularly and in a structured manner and their agreement to join the Group\n               of Friends again towards the end of the year to review progress and explore future\n               steps and encourages them to act upon that commitment;\n                    11.    Calls on the parties to spare no efforts to overcome their ongoing mutual\n               mistrust;\n\n\n\n\n2\n\n                                                                                       S/RES/1494 (2003)\n\n\n     12. Calls again on the parties to ensure the necessary revitalization of the\npeace process in all its major aspects, including their work in the Coordinating\nCouncil and its relevant mechanisms, to build on the results of the Yalta meeting on\nconfidence-building measures in March 2001 (S/2001/242), to implement the\nproposals agreed on that occasion in a purposeful and cooperative manner, and to\nconsider holding a fourth conference on confidence-building measures;\n     13. Reminds all concerned to refrain from any action that might impede the\npeace process;\n      14. Stresses the urgent need for progress on the question of the refugees and\ninternally displaced persons, calls on both sides to display a genuine commitment to\nmake returns the focus of special attention and to undertake this task in close\ncoordination with UNOMIG and consultations with UNHCR and the Group of\nFriends and recalls the understanding in Sochi by Georgia and the Russian\nFederation that the reopening of the Sochi-Tbilisi railway will be undertaken in\nparallel with the return of refugees and displaced persons, starting in the Gali\ndistrict, reaffirms the unacceptability of the demographic changes resulting from the\nconflict, reaffirms also the inalienable right of all refugees and IDPs affected by the\nconflict to return to their homes in secure and dignified conditions, in accordance\nwith international law and as set out in the Quadripartite Agreement of 4 April 1994\n(S/1994/397, annex II) and the Yalta Declaration;\n      15. Recalls that the Abkhaz side bears a particular responsibility to protect\nthe returnees and to facilitate the return of the remaining displaced population, and\nrequests further measures to be undertaken inter alia by the United Nations\nDevelopment Programme, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for\nRefugees and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs to create\nconditions conducive to the return of refugees and internally displaced persons,\nincluding through quick-impact projects, to develop their skills and to increase their\nself-reliance, with full respect for their inalienable right to return to their homes in\nsecure and dignified conditions;\n      16. Welcomes the positive consideration by the parties given to the\nrecommendations of the joint assessment mission to the Gali district, urges them\nonce again to implement those recommendations and in particular calls upon the\nAbkhaz side to agree to the opening as soon as possible of the Gali branch of the\nhuman rights office in Sukhumi and to provide security conditions for its unhindered\nfunctioning;\n      17. Endorses the recommendations by the Secretary-General in his report of\n21 July 2003 (S/2003/751, para. 30) that a civilian police component of 20 officers\nbe added to UNOMIG, to strengthen its capacity to carry out its mandate and in\nparticular contribute to the creation of conditions conducive to the safe and dignified\nreturn of internally displaced persons and refugees, and welcomes the commitment\nof the parties to implement the recommendations by the security assessment mission\nof October to December 2002;\n     18. Calls in particular on the Abkhaz side to improve law enforcement\ninvolving the local population and to address the lack of instruction in their mother\ntongue for the ethnic Georgian population;\n    19. Condemns any violations of the provisions of the Moscow Agreement of\n14 May 1994 on a Ceasefire and Separation of Forces (S/1994/583, annex I);\n\n\n                                                                                                      3\n\nS/RES/1494 (2003)\n\n\n                     20. Calls on both parties publicly to dissociate themselves from militant\n               rhetoric and demonstrations of support for military options and for the activities of\n               illegal armed groups, and encourages the Georgian side in particular to continue its\n               efforts to put an end to the activities of illegal armed groups;\n                     21. Welcomes the relative calm in the Kodori Valley and the intention\n               reaffirmed by the parties to resolve the situation peacefully, recalls its strong support\n               to the protocol signed by the two sides on 2 April 2002 regarding the situation in the\n               Kodori Valley, calls on both sides, and in particular the Georgian side, to continue to\n               fully implement this protocol, and recognizes the legitimate security concerns of the\n               civilian populations in the area, calls on the political leaders in Tbilisi and Sukhumi\n               to observe security agreements, and calls on both sides to spare no efforts to agree to\n               a mutually acceptable arrangement for security of the population in, and in the\n               vicinity of, the Kodori Valley;\n                    22. Strongly condemns, however, the abduction of four UNOMIG personnel\n               of 5 June 2003, which is the sixth hostage taking since the establishment of the\n               mission, deeply deplores that none of the perpetrators have ever been identified or\n               brought to justice and supports the Secretary-General’s call that this impunity must\n               end;\n                     23.

Requests the Presidents of the ICTY and the ICTR and their Prosecutors,\nin their annual reports to the Council, to explain their plans to implement the ICTY\nand ICTR Completion Strategies;\n      7.

Reaffirms the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty,\n               independence and territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally\n               recognized borders, and the necessity to define the status of Abkhazia within the\n               State of Georgia in strict accordance with these principles;\n                     3.   Commends and strongly supports the sustained efforts of the Secretary-General and his Special Representative, with the assistance of the Russian\n               Federation in its capacity as facilitator as well as of the Group of Friends of the\n               Secretary-General and of the OSCE, to promote the stabilization of the situation and\n               the achievement of a comprehensive political settlement, which must include a\n               settlement of the political status of Abkhazia within the State of Georgia;\n                      4.    Stresses, in particular, its strong support for the document on “Basic\n               Principles for the Distribution of Competences between Tbilisi and Sukhumi” and\n               for its letter of transmittal, finalized by, and with the full support of, all members of\n               the Group of Friends;\n                     5.   Deeply regrets, the continued refusal of the Abkhaz side to agree to a\n               discussion on the substance of this document, again strongly urges the Abkhaz side\n               to receive the document and its transmittal letter, urges both parties thereafter to\n               give them full and open consideration, and to engage in constructive negotiations on\n               their substance, and urges those having influence with the parties to promote this\n               outcome;\n                     6.    Regrets the lack of progress on the initiation of political status\n               negotiations, and recalls, once again, that the purpose of these documents is to\n               facilitate meaningful negotiations between the parties, under the leadership of the\n               United Nations, on the status of Abkhazia within the State of Georgia, and is not an\n               attempt to impose or dictate any specific solution to the parties;\n                     7.    Underlines further that the process of negotiation leading to a lasting\n               political settlement acceptable to both sides will require concessions from both\n               sides;\n                     8.    Welcomes the convening of regular meetings of senior representatives of\n               the Group of Friends in Geneva and the intention expressed by the parties to accept\n               the invitation to participate in the forthcoming meeting and calls upon them to\n               participate again in a positive spirit;\n                      9.   Urges the parties to participate in a more active, regular and structured\n               manner in the task forces established in the first Geneva meeting (to address issues\n               in the priority areas of economic cooperation, the return of internally displaced\n               persons and refugees, and political and security matters) and complemented by the\n               working groups established in Sochi, and stresses that results oriented activities in\n               these three priority areas remain key to building common ground between the\n               Georgian and Abkhaz sides and ultimately for concluding meaningful negotiations\n               on a comprehensive political settlement based on the paper entitled “Basic\n               Principles for the Distribution of Competences between Tbilisi and Sukhumi” and\n               its transmittal letter;\n                    10. Welcomes the joint Georgian-Abkhaz high-level visit to Bosnia and\n               Herzegovina and to Kosovo, Serbia and Montenegro, led by the Special\n               Representative of the Secretary-General, as agreed in the second Geneva meeting;\n\n\n\n\n2\n\n                                                                                       S/RES/1524 (2004)\n\n\n     11.    Calls on the parties to spare no efforts to overcome their ongoing mutual\nmistrust;\n     12. Calls again on the parties to ensure the necessary revitalization of the\npeace process in all its major aspects, including their work in the Coordinating\nCouncil and its relevant mechanisms, to build on the results of the Yalta meeting on\nconfidence-building measures in March 2001 (S/2001/242), to implement the\nproposals agreed on that occasion in a purposeful and cooperative manner, and to\nconsider holding a fourth conference on confidence-building measures;\n     13. Reminds all concerned to refrain from any action that might impede the\npeace process;\n      14. Stresses the urgent need for progress on the question of the refugees and\ninternally displaced persons, calls on both sides to display a genuine commitment to\nmake returns the focus of special attention and to undertake this task in close\ncoordination with UNOMIG and consultations with UNHCR and the Group of\nFriends and recalls the understanding in the Sochi summit that the reopening of the\nSochi-Tbilisi railway will be undertaken in parallel with the return of refugees and\ndisplaced persons, starting in the Gali district;\n      15. Reaffirms the unacceptability of the demographic changes resulting from\nthe conflict, reaffirms also the inalienable right of all refugees and IDPs affected by\nthe conflict to return to their homes in secure and dignified conditions, in\naccordance with international law and as set out in the Quadripartite Agreement of 4\nApril 1994 (S/1994/397, annex II) and the Yalta Declaration;\n      16. Recalls that the Abkhaz side bears a particular responsibility to protect\nthe returnees and to facilitate the return of the remaining displaced population;\n      17. Welcomes the mission led by the United Nations Development\nProgramme to the Gali region (December 2003) to assess the feasibility of a\nsustainable recovery process for the local population and potential returnees and to\nidentify further actions to improve the overall security conditions and ensure\nsustainable return and looks forward to the publication of the resulting report;\n      18. Welcomes the positive consideration by the parties given to the\nrecommendations of the joint assessment mission to the Gali district, urges them\nonce again to implement those recommendations and in particular calls upon the\nAbkhaz side to agree to the opening as soon as possible of the Gali branch of the\nhuman rights office in Sukhumi and to provide security conditions for its unhindered\nfunctioning;\n      19. Welcomes the start of the deployment of a civilian police component as\npart of UNOMIG, as endorsed in resolution 1494 (2003) and agreed by the parties,\nlooks forward to an early confirmation by the Abkhaz side that the deployment in\nthe Gali district of the remaining police officers can proceed, and calls on the parties\nto cooperate and actively support the police component;\n     20. Calls in particular on the Abkhaz side to improve law enforcement\ninvolving the local population and to address the lack of instruction in their mother\ntongue for the ethnic Georgian population;\n      21. Calls on both parties further to publicly dissociate themselves from any\nmilitant rhetoric and demonstrations of support for military options or for the\n\n\n\n                                                                                                      3\n\nS/RES/1524 (2004)\n\n\n               activities of illegal armed groups, notes the efforts undertaken by the Georgian side\n               to put an end to the activities of illegal armed groups and encourages the parties, in\n               particular the Georgian side, to maintain their efforts;\n                   22. Condemns any violations of the provisions of the Moscow Agreement of\n               14 May 1994 on a Ceasefire and Separation of Forces (S/1994/583, annex I);\n                     23. Welcomes the continuing relative calm in the Kodori Valley and the\n               intention reaffirmed by the parties to resolve the situation peacefully, recalls its\n               strong support to the protocol signed by the two sides on 2 April 2002 regarding the\n               situation in the valley and calls on the sides to continue to fully implement this\n               protocol;\n                    24. Deplores the deterioration in the security environment in the Gali sector\n               including repeated killings and abductions;\n                     25. Welcomes the holding of a Quadripartite meeting with high-level\n               representation by the parties on 19 January 2004, and their signing of a protocol on\n               security issues and urges the parties to abide by the provisions of that protocol and\n               the protocol signed by them on 8 October 2003 and to cooperate more closely with\n               each other to improve security in the Gali sector;\n                    26. Calls on the Georgian side to continue to improve security for joint\n               UNOMIG and CIS peacekeeping force patrols in the Kodori Valley to enable them\n               to resume monitoring of the situation independently and regularly when road\n               conditions permit;\n                     27.

Urges the parties, once again, to take all necessary steps to identify those\n               responsible for the shooting down of a UNOMIG helicopter on 8 October 2001, to\n               bring them to justice, and to inform the Special Representative on the steps taken;\n                     29.

Calls on the parties to cooperate fully and promptly with the Boundary\n               Commission, and to create the necessary conditions for demarcation to proceed\n               expeditiously, including through the unequivocal restating of Ethiopia’s acceptance\n               of the Boundary Commission’s decision, the appointment by Ethiopia of field\n               liaison officers, and the payment of its dues to the Boundary Commission;\n                    5.    Reaffirms the crucial importance of a political dialogue between the two\n               countries for the completion of the peace process and the consolidation of progress\n               achieved so far, and urges both parties to normalize their relations, including\n               through confidence-building measures, and to refrain from any threat or use of force\n               against each other;\n                    6.    Reiterates its support for the initiative of the Secretary-General to\n               exercise his good offices by appointing a Special Envoy, in order to facilitate the\n               implementation of the Algiers Agreements, the decision of the Boundary\n               Commission, and the relevant resolutions and decisions of the Security Council, and\n               to encourage the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries,\n               and emphasizes that this appointment does not constitute an alternative mechanism;\n                    7.

Powell to the President of\n               the Council\n                                                                                       5 June 2004\n\n               Republic of Iraq\n               Prime Minister Office\n               Excellency:\n                     On my appointment as Prime Minister of the Interim Government of Iraq, I am\n               writing to express the commitment of the people of Iraq to complete the political\n               transition process to establish a free, and democratic Iraq and to be a partner in\n               preventing and combating terrorism. As we enter a critical new stage, regain full\n               sovereignty and move towards elections, we will need the assistance of the\n               international community.\n                     The Interim Government of Iraq will make every effort to ensure that these\n               elections are fully democratic, free and fair. Security and stability continue to be\n               essential to our political transition. There continue, however, to be forces in Iraq,\n               including foreign elements, that are opposed to our transition to peace, democracy,\n               and security. The Government is determined to overcome these forces, and to\n               develop security forces capable of providing adequate security for the Iraqi people.\n               Until we are able to provide security for ourselves, including the defence of Iraq’s\n               land, sea and air space, we ask for the support of the Security Council and the\n               international community in this endeavour. We seek a new resolution on the\n               Multinational Force (MNF) mandate to contribute to maintaining security in Iraq,\n               including through the tasks and arrangements set out in the letter from Secretary of\n               State Colin Powell to the President of the United Nations Security Council. The\n               Government requests that the Security Council review the mandate of the MNF at\n               the request of the Transitional Government of Iraq, or twelve months from the date\n               on which such a resolution is adopted.\n                     In order to discharge the Iraqi Government’s responsibility for security, I\n               intend to establish appropriate security structures that will allow my Government\n               and Iraqi security forces to progressively take on that responsibility. One such\n               structure is the Ministerial Committee for National Security, consisting of myself as\n               the Chair, the Deputy Prime Minister, and the Minister of Defense, Interior, Foreign\n               Affairs, Justice, and Finance. The National Security Advisor, and Director of the\n               Iraqi National Intelligence Service will serve as permanent advisory members of the\n               committee. This forum will set the broad framework for Iraqi security policy. I\n               intend to invite, as appropriate, the MNF commander, his Deputy, or the MNF\n\n               His Excellency\n               Mr. Lauro L. Baja, Jr.\n               President of the Security Council\n               United Nations\n               New York, New York\n\n\n8\n\n                                                                                        S/RES/1546 (2004)\n\n\nCommander’s designative representative, and other appropriate individuals, to\nattend and participate as well, and will stand ready to discuss mechanisms of\ncoordination and cooperation with the MNF. Iraqi armed forces will be responsible\nto the Chief of Staff and Minister of Defense. Other security forces (the Iraqi police,\nborder guards and Facilities Protection Service) will be responsible to the Minister\nof the Interior or other government ministers.\n      In addition, the relevant ministers and I will develop further mechanisms for\ncoordination with the MNF. Intend to create with the MNF coordination bodies at\nnational, regional, and local levels, that will include Iraqi security forces\ncommanders and civilian leadership, to ensure that Iraqi security forces will\ncoordinate with the MNF on all security policy and operations issues in order to\nachieve unity of command of military operations in which Iraqi forces are engaged\nwith MNF. In addition, the MNF and Iraqi government leaders will keep each other\ninformed of their activities, consult regularly to ensure effective allocation and use\nof personnel, resources and facilities, will share intelligence, and will refer issues up\nthe respective chains of command where necessary, Iraqi security forces will take on\nprogressively greater responsibility as Iraqi capabilities improve.\n      The structures I have described in this letter will serve as the fora for the MNF\nand the Iraqi government to reach agreement on the full range of fundamental\nsecurity and policy issues, including policy on sensitive offensive operations, and\nwill ensure full partnership between Iraqi forces and the MNF, through close\ncoordination and consultation. Since these are sensitive issues for a number of\nsovereign governments, including Iraq and the United States, they need to be\nresolved in the framework of a mutual understanding on our strategic partnership.\nWe will be working closely with the MNF leadership in the coming weeks to ensure\nthat we have such an agreed strategic framework.\n      We are ready to take sovereign responsibility for governing Iraq by June 30.\nWe are well aware of the difficulties facing us, and of our responsibilities to the\nIraqi people. The stakes are great, and we need the support of the international\ncommunity to succeed. We ask the Security Council to help us by acting now to\nadopt a Security Council resolution giving us necessary support.\n      I understand that the Co-sponsors intend to annex this letter to the resolution\non Iraq under consideration. In the meantime, I request that you provide copies of\nthis letter to members of the Council as quickly as possible.\n\n                                                              (Signed) Dr. Ayad Allawi\n\n\n\n\n                                                                                                       9\n\nS/RES/1546 (2004)\n\n\n               The Secretary of State\n               Washington\n\n                                                                                          5 June 2004\n\n               Excellency:\n                     Recognizing the request of the government of Iraq for the continued presence\n               of the Multi-National Force (MNF) in Iraq, and following consultations with Prime\n               Minister Ayad Allawi of the Iraqi Interim Government, I am writing to confirm that\n               the MNF under unified command is prepared to continue to contribute to the\n               maintenance of security in Iraq, including by preventing and deterring terrorism and\n               protecting the territory of Iraq. The goal of the MNF will be to help the Iraqi people\n               to complete the political transition and will permit the United Nations and the\n               international community to work to facilitate Iraq’s reconstruction.\n                     The ability of the Iraqi people to achieve their goals will be heavily influenced\n               by the security situation in Iraq. As recent events have demonstrated, continuing\n               attacks by insurgents, including former regime elements, foreign fighters, and illegal\n               militias challenge all those who are working for a better Iraq.\n                     Development of an effective and cooperative security partnership between the\n               MNF and the sovereign Government of Iraq is critical to the stability of Iraq. The\n               commander of the MNF will work in partnership with the sovereign Government of\n               Iraq in helping to provide security while recognizing and respecting its sovereignty.\n               To that end, the MNF stands ready to participate in discussions of the Ministerial\n               Committee for National Security on the broad framework of security policy, as\n               referred to in the letter from Prime Minister of the Interim Government of Iraq\n               Allawi dated June 5, 2004. On the implementation of this policy, recognizing that\n               Iraqi security forces are responsible to the appropriate Iraqi ministers, the MNF will\n               coordinate with Iraqi security forces at all levels — national, regional, and local —\n               in order to achieve unity of command of military operations in which Iraqi forces\n               are engaged with the MNF. In addition, the MNF and the Iraqi government leaders\n               will keep each other informed of their activities, consult regularly to ensure effective\n               allocation and use of personnel, resources, and facilities, will share intelligence, and\n               will refer issues up the respective chains of command where necessary. We will\n               work in the fora described by Prime Minister Allawi in his\n               June 5 letter to reach agreement on the full range of fundamental security and policy\n               issues, including policy on sensitive offensive operations, and will ensure full\n               partnership between MNF and Iraqi forces, through close coordination and\n               consultation.\n\n\n\n\n               His Excellency\n               Mr. Lauro L. Baja, Jr.\n               President of the Security Council\n               United Nations\n               New York, New York\n\n\n\n\n10\n\n                                                                                        S/RES/1546 (2004)\n\n\n      Under the agreed arrangement, the MNF stands ready to continue to undertake\na broad range of tasks to contribute to the maintenance of security and to ensure\nforce protection. These include activities necessary to counter ongoing security\nthreats posed by forces seeking to influence Iraq’s political future through violence.\nThis will include combat operations against members of these groups, internment\nwhere this is necessary for imperative reasons of security, and the continued search\nfor and securing of weapons that threaten Iraq’s security. A further objective will be\nto train and equip Iraqi security forces that will increasingly take responsibility for\nmaintaining Iraq’s security. The MNF also stands ready as needed to participate in\nthe provision of humanitarian assistance, civil affairs support, and relief and\nreconstruction assistance requested by the Iraqi Interim Government and in line with\nprevious Security Council Resolutions.\n     In addition, the MNF is prepared to establish or support a force within the\nMNF to provide for the security of personnel and facilities of the United Nations.\nWe have consulted closely with UN officials regarding the United Nations’ security\nrequirements and believe that a brigade-size force will be needed to support the\nUnited Nations’ security effort. This force will be under the command and control of\nthe MNF commander, and its missions will include static and perimeter security at\nUN facilities, and convoy escort duties for the UN mission’s travel requirements.\n      In order to continue to contribute to security, the MNF must continue to\nfunction under a framework that affords the force and its personnel the status that\nthey need to accomplish their mission, and in which the contributing states have\nresponsibility for exercising jurisdiction over their personnel and which will ensure\narrangements for, and use of assets by, the MNF. The existing framework governing\nthese matters is sufficient for these purposes. In addition, the forces that make up the\nMNF are and will remain committed at all times to act consistently with their\nobligations under the law of armed conflict, including the Geneva Conventions.\n      The MNF is prepared to continue to pursue its current efforts to assist in\nproviding a secure environment in which the broader international community is\nable to fulfil its important role in facilitating Iraq’s reconstruction. In meeting these\nresponsibilities in the period ahead, we will act in full recognition of and respect for\nIraqi sovereignty. We look to other member states and international and regional\norganizations to assist the people of Iraq and the sovereign Iraqi government in\novercoming the challenges that lie ahead to build a democratic, secure and\nprosperous country.\n     The co-sponsors intend to annex this letter to the resolution on Iraq under\nconsideration. In the meantime, I request that you provide copies of this letter to\nmembers of the Council as quickly as possible.\n\n                                                                             Sincerely,\n                                                              (Signed) Colin L.

Reaffirms the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty,\n               independence and territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally\n               recognized borders, and the necessity to define the status of Abkhazia within the\n               State of Georgia in strict accordance with these principles;\n                    2.

Deeply regrets the continued refusal of the Abkhaz side to agree to a\n               discussion on the substance of this document, again strongly urges the Abkhaz side\n               to receive the document and its transmittal letter, urges both parties thereafter to\n               give them full and open consideration, and to engage in constructive negotiations on\n               their substance, and urges those having influence with the parties to promote this\n               outcome;\n                     5.    Regrets also the lack of progress on the initiation of political status\n               negotiations, and recalls, once again, that the purpose of these documents is to\n               facilitate meaningful negotiations between the parties, under the leadership of the\n               United Nations, on the status of Abkhazia within the State of Georgia, and is not an\n               attempt to impose or dictate any specific solution to the parties;\n                     6.   Calls on the parties to spare no efforts to overcome their ongoing mutual\n               mistrust and underlines that the process of negotiation leading to a lasting political\n               settlement acceptable to both sides will require concessions from both sides;\n                    7.    Welcomes the commitment by the Georgian side to a peaceful resolution\n               of the conflict and calls on both parties further to publicly dissociate themselves\n               from all militant rhetoric and demonstrations of support for military options;\n                    8.   Reminds all concerned to refrain from any action that might impede the\n               peace process;\n                     9.    Welcomes the convening of regular meetings of senior representatives of\n               the Group of Friends and the United Nations in Geneva and, while regretting that the\n               Abkhaz side did not participate in the last meeting, looks forward to the constructive\n               participation of the parties in the forthcoming meetings;\n                     10. Urges the parties to participate in a more active, regular and structured\n               manner in the task forces established in the first Geneva meeting (to address issues\n               in the priority areas of economic cooperation, the return of internally displaced\n               persons and refugees, and political and security matters) and complemented by the\n               working groups established in Sochi in March 2003, and reiterates that resultsoriented activities in these three priority areas remain key to building common\n               ground between the Georgian and Abkhaz sides and ultimately for concluding\n               meaningful negotiations on a comprehensive political settlement based on the paper\n               entitled “Basic Principles for the Distribution of Competences between Tbilisi and\n               Sukhumi” and its transmittal letter;\n                    11. Encourages the sides in that respect to continue their discussion on\n               security guarantees and welcomes the meeting in Sukhumi on 20 May on this issue;\n                    12. Calls again on the parties to take concrete steps to revitalize the peace\n               process in all its major aspects, including their work in the Coordinating Council\n               and its relevant mechanisms, to build on the results of the Yalta meeting on\n\n\n\n2\n\n                                                                                      S/RES/1554 (2004)\n\n\nconfidence-building measures in March 2001 (S/2001/242) and to implement the\nproposals agreed on that occasion in a purposeful and cooperative manner, with a\nview to holding a fourth conference on confidence-building measures;\n      13. Stresses the urgent need for progress on the question of the refugees and\ninternally displaced persons, calls on both sides to display a genuine commitment to\nmake returns the focus of special attention and to undertake this task in close\ncoordination with UNOMIG and consultations with UNHCR and the Group of\nFriends;\n      14. Calls for the rapid finalization and signature of the letter of intent on\nreturns proposed by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and\nwelcomes the recent meetings with the participation of the SRSG and UNHCR of the\nSochi working group on refugees and internally displaced persons;\n      15.

Takes note of positive developments in some areas of relations between\n               UNMEE and both parties, welcomes in this regard particularly the recent decision by\n               Ethiopia to allow a direct high-altitude flight route between Asmara and Addis\n               Ababa without any deviation, urges Ethiopia and Eritrea to take immediate steps, in\n               consultation with UNMEE, towards implementing the direct flights between the two\n               capitals; and also in this regard calls upon Eritrea to reopen the Asmara to Barent\n               road;\n                     5.   Stresses that Ethiopia and Eritrea have the primary responsibility for the\n               implementation of the Algiers Agreement and the decision of the Eritrea-Ethiopia\n               Boundary Commission and calls upon both parties to show political leadership to\n               achieve a full normalization of their relationship, including through the adoption of\n               further confidence-building measures;\n                    6.

Urges Ethiopia to show the political will to reaffirm unequivocally its\n               acceptance of the Boundary Commission’s decision, and take the necessary steps to\n               enable the Commission to demarcate the border without further delay;\n                     8.   Reiterates its full support for the Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for\n               Ethiopia and Eritrea, Lloyd Axworthy, in his efforts to facilitate the implementation\n               of the Algiers Agreements, the decision of the Boundary Commission and\n               normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries through his good\n               offices, and emphasizes that this appointment does not constitute an alternative\n               mechanism;\n                   9.     Calls on Eritrea to enter into dialogue and cooperation with the Secretary\n               General’s Special Envoy for Ethiopia and Eritrea;\n                    10.

Reaffirms the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty,\n               independence and territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally\n               recognized borders, and the necessity to define the status of Abkhazia within the\n               State of Georgia in strict accordance with these principles;\n                    2.   Commends and strongly supports the sustained efforts of the Secretary-General and his Special Representative, with the assistance of the Russian\n               Federation in its capacity as facilitator as well as of the Group of Friends of the\n\n05-22315 (E)\n*0522315*\n\nS/RES/1582 (2005)\n\n\n               Secretary-General and of the OSCE, to promote the stabilization of the situation and\n               the achievement of a comprehensive political settlement, which must include a\n               settlement of the political status of Abkhazia within the State of Georgia;\n                    3.     Reiterates its strong support for the document on “Basic Principles for\n               the Distribution of Competences between Tbilisi and Sukhumi” and for its letter of\n               transmittal, finalized by, and with the full support of, all members of the Group of\n               Friends;\n                     4.   Deeply regrets the continued refusal of the Abkhaz side to agree to a\n               discussion on the substance of this document, again strongly urges the Abkhaz side\n               to receive the document and its transmittal letter, urges both parties thereafter to\n               give them full and open consideration, and to engage in constructive negotiations on\n               their substance, and urges those having influence with the parties to promote this\n               outcome;\n                     5.    Regrets also the lack of progress on the initiation of political status\n               negotiations, and recalls, once again, that the purpose of these documents is to\n               facilitate meaningful negotiations between the parties, under the leadership of the\n               United Nations, on the status of Abkhazia within the State of Georgia, and is not an\n               attempt to impose or dictate any specific solution to the parties;\n                    6.    Notes its position on Abkhaz elections as expressed in resolution 1255 of\n               30 July 1999 (S/RES/1255);\n                     7.    Calls on both sides to participate in constructive negotiations towards a\n               political settlement of the conflict and to spare no efforts to overcome their ongoing\n               mutual mistrust and underlines that the process of negotiation leading to a lasting\n               political settlement acceptable to both sides will require concessions from both\n               sides;\n                    8.    Welcomes the commitment by the Georgian side to a peaceful resolution\n               of the conflict and calls on both parties further to publicly dissociate themselves\n               from all militant rhetoric and demonstrations of support for military options;\n                    9.   Reminds all concerned to refrain from any action that might impede the\n               peace process;\n                     10. Welcomes the convening of regular meetings of senior representatives of\n               the Group of Friends and the United Nations in Geneva and encourages both sides to\n               participate actively in the next meeting;\n                     11. Urges the parties to participate in a more active, regular and structured\n               manner in the task forces established in the first Geneva meeting (to address issues\n               in the priority areas of economic cooperation, the return of internally displaced\n               persons and refugees, and political and security matters) and complemented by the\n               working groups established in Sochi in March 2003, and reiterates that resultsoriented activities in these three priority areas remain key to building common\n               ground between the Georgian and Abkhaz sides and ultimately for concluding\n               meaningful negotiations on a comprehensive political settlement based on the paper\n               entitled “Basic Principles for the Distribution of Competences between Tbilisi and\n               Sukhumi” and its transmittal letter;\n                    12. Encourages the sides in that respect to continue their discussion on\n               security guarantees with the participation of the Group of Friends;\n\n\n\n2\n\n                                                                                      S/RES/1582 (2005)\n\n\n     13. Calls again on the parties to take concrete steps to revitalize the peace\nprocess in all its major aspects, including their work in the Coordinating Council\nand its relevant mechanisms, to build on the results of the Yalta meeting on\nconfidence-building measures in March 2001 (S/2001/242) and to implement the\nproposals agreed on that occasion in a purposeful and cooperative manner, with a\nview to holding a fourth conference on confidence-building measures, and\nwelcomes the intention expressed by Germany to host such a conference pending\nprogress in the conflict resolution process;\n     14. Notes that contacts at the level of civil society can reinforce mutual\nconfidence and calls on both sides to facilitate such contacts;\n      15. Stresses the urgent need for progress on the question of the refugees and\ninternally displaced persons, calls on both sides to display a genuine commitment to\nmake returns the focus of special attention and to undertake this task in close\ncoordination with UNOMIG and consultations with UNHCR and the Group of\nFriends;\n      16. Calls for the rapid finalization and signature of the letter of intent on\nreturns proposed by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and\nwelcomes the meetings with the participation of the SRSG and UNHCR of the Sochi\nworking group on refugees and internally displaced persons;\n      17.

Welcomes the continuing activities of UNDP in the Gali, Ochamchira and\nTkvarcheli districts and the opening of offices by UNDP in Sukhumi and Gali;\n      20. Urges the parties once again to implement the recommendations of the\nJoint Assessment Mission to the Gali sector (November 2000), regrets that there has\nbeen no progress to that effect despite the positive consideration by the parties given\nto those recommendations in the first Geneva meeting and calls again upon the\nAbkhaz side to agree to the opening as soon as possible of the Gali branch of the\nhuman rights office in Sukhumi and to provide security conditions for its\nunhindered functioning;\n      21. Reiterates its concern that despite the start of the deployment of a\ncivilian police component as part of UNOMIG, as endorsed in resolution 1494\n(2003) and agreed by the parties, the deployment of the remaining officers in the\nGali sector is still outstanding and calls on the Abkhaz side to allow for a swift\ndeployment of the police component in that region;\n     22. Calls in particular on the Abkhaz side to improve law enforcement\ninvolving the local population and to address the lack of instruction in their mother\ntongue for the ethnic Georgian population;\n\n\n\n\n                                                                                                     3\n\nS/RES/1582 (2005)\n\n\n                     23.

Urges the parties to abide by the provisions of the protocols on security\n               issues in the Gali district signed on 19 January 2004 and 8 October 2003, to\n               continue their regular meetings and to cooperate more closely with each other to\n               improve security in the Gali sector, and takes note of the resumption of Abkhaz\n               participation in the Quadripartite meetings and the Joint Fact Finding Group;\n                     27. Reiterates its call on the Georgian side to provide comprehensive\n               security guarantees to allow for independent and regular monitoring of the situation\n               in the upper Kodori valley by joint UNOMIG and CIS peacekeeping force patrols;\n                    28.

Strongly condemns in that respect the repeated abductions of personnel of\n               those missions in the past, deeply deplores that none of the perpetrators have ever\n               been identified or brought to justice, reiterates that it is the responsibility of the\n               parties to end this impunity and calls upon them to take action;\n                     30. Also calls upon the parties, once again, to take all necessary steps, to\n               identify those responsible for the shooting down of a UNOMIG helicopter on\n               8 October 2001, to bring them to justice, and to inform the SRSG of the steps taken\n               in particular in the criminal investigation;\n                     31.

Recognizing the linkage between the illegal exploitation of natural resources\n               such as diamonds and timber, illicit trade in such resources, and the proliferation\n               and trafficking of arms and the recruitment and use of mercenaries as one of the\n               sources of fuelling and exacerbating conflicts in West Africa, particularly in Liberia,\n                     Recalling that the measures imposed under resolution 1521 (2003) were\n               designed to prevent such illegal exploitation from fuelling a resumption of the\n               conflict in Liberia, as well as to support the implementation of the Comprehensive\n               Peace Agreement and the extension of the authority of the National Transitional\n               Government throughout Liberia,\n                    Expressing its concern that, while the deployment of the United Nations\n               Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) has contributed to the improvement of security\n               throughout Liberia, the National Transitional Government has not yet established its\n               authority throughout Liberia,\n                     Emphasizing the need for the international community to help the National\n               Transitional Government increase its capacity to establish its authority throughout\n               Liberia, particularly to establish its control over the diamond- and timber-producing\n               areas and Liberia’s borders,\n                    Expressing deep concern at information that former President Charles Taylor\n               and others still closely associated with him continue to engage in activities that\n               undermine peace and stability in Liberia and the region,\n                     Having reviewed the measures imposed by paragraphs 2, 4, 6 and 10 of\n               resolution 1521 (2003) and paragraph 1 of resolution 1532 (2004) and the progress\n\n\n05-39326 (E)\n*0539326*\n\nS/RES/1607 (2005)\n\n\n               towards meeting the conditions set forth in paragraphs 5, 7 and 11 of resolution\n               1521 (2003),\n                     Welcoming the assessment of the Panel of Experts that there is no evidence of\n               illegal timber being exported from Liberia, but noting with concern that few of the\n               reforms in the National Transitional Government of Liberia road map necessary to\n               meet the conditions set forth in paragraph 11 of resolution 1521 (2003) for lifting\n               the measures on timber imposed by paragraph 10 of resolution 1521 (2003) have\n               been implemented,\n                    Acknowledging the recent completion of the Forest Concession Review and\n               welcoming the report of the Forest Concession Review Committee,\n                     Welcoming the progress made by the National Transitional Government of\n               Liberia with training for diamond mining officials, but noting with serious concern\n               the increase in unlicensed mining and illegal exports of diamonds and the National\n               Transitional Government of Liberia’s agreement to, and lack of transparency in,\n               granting exclusive mining rights to a single company,\n                     Noting with concern the limited progress made by the National Transitional\n               Government of Liberia towards establishing transparent financial management\n               systems that will help ensure that government revenues are not used to fuel conflict\n               or otherwise used in violation of the Council’s resolutions but are used for\n               legitimate purposes for the benefit of the Liberian people, including development,\n                    Taking note of the ongoing discussions regarding a Liberia Economic\n               Governance Action Plan, designed to ensure prompt implementation of the\n               Comprehensive Peace Agreement and to expedite the lifting of measures imposed\n               by resolution 1521 (2003), and expressing its intention to consider, as appropriate,\n               the Action Plan,\n                     Emphasizing that, despite completion of demobilization and disarmament,\n               significant challenges remain in completing reintegration and repatriation of excombatants and restructuring of the security sector, as well as establishing and\n               maintaining stability in Liberia and the subregion,\n                     Determining that the situation in Liberia continues to constitute a threat to\n               international peace and security in the region,\n                    Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                      1.   Decides, on the basis of its assessments above of progress made by the\n               National Transitional Government of Liberia towards meeting the conditions for\n               lifting the measures imposed by resolution 1521 (2003), to renew the measures on\n               diamonds imposed by paragraph 6 of resolution 1521 (2003) for a further period of\n               six months from the date of adoption of this resolution;\n                     2.   Urges the National Transitional Government of Liberia to intensify its\n               efforts, with the support of UNMIL, to establish its authority over the diamondproducing areas, and to work towards establishing an official Certificate of Origin\n               regime for trade in rough diamonds that is transparent and internationally verifiable,\n               with a view to joining the Kimberley Process;\n                     3.   Reiterates the Council’s readiness to terminate all measures imposed by\n               resolution 1521 (2003) once the conditions set forth in paragraphs 5, 7 and 11 of\n               resolution 1521 (2003) have been met;\n\n\n2\n\n                                                                                       S/RES/1607 (2005)\n\n\n      4.    Calls on the National Transitional Government of Liberia urgently to\nintensify its efforts to reform the Forestry Development Authority, to implement the\nLiberia Forest Initiative and to implement the Forest Concession Review\nCommittee’s recommendations for reform, which will ensure transparency,\naccountability and sustainable forest management and contribute towards the lifting\nof the measures on timber set forth in paragraph 10 of resolution 1521 (2003);\n      5.    Invites the National Transitional Government of Liberia to consider, with\nthe assistance of international partners and for a specific time period, the possibility\nof commissioning independent external advice on the management of Liberia’s\ndiamond and timber resources, in order to increase investor confidence and attract\nadditional donor support;\n      6.    Notes that the measures imposed by paragraph 1 of resolution 1532\n(2004) remain in force to prevent former President Charles Taylor, his immediate\nfamily members, senior officials of the former Taylor regime, or other close allies or\nassociates from using misappropriated funds and property to interfere in the\nrestoration of peace and stability in Liberia and the subregion, and reconfirms its\nintention to review these measures at least once a year;\n      7.   Reiterates its intention to consider whether and how to make available to\nthe Government of Liberia the funds, other financial assets and economic resources\nfrozen pursuant to paragraph 1 of resolution 1532 (2004), once that Government has\nestablished transparent accounting and auditing mechanisms to ensure the\nresponsible use of government revenue to benefit directly the people of Liberia;\n      8.   Emphasizes its concern that the National Transitional Government of\nLiberia has taken no action to implement its obligations under paragraph 1 of\nresolution 1532 (2004), and calls on the Government to take such action\nimmediately, particularly through adopting the necessary domestic legislation, with\ntechnical support provided by Member States;\n     9.   Notes also that the measures on arms, travel and timber imposed by\nparagraphs 2, 4 and 10 respectively of resolution 1521 (2003) and renewed by\nparagraph 1 of resolution 1579 (2004) remain in force until 21 December 2005;\n      10. Urges UNMIL to intensify its efforts, as mandated in resolution 1509\n(2003), to assist the National Transitional Government of Liberia in re-establishing\nits authority throughout Liberia, including diamond-producing and timber-producing\nareas, and restoring proper administration of natural resources;\n     11. Reiterates the importance of UNMIL’s continuing assistance to the\nNational Transitional Government of Liberia, the Committee established by\nparagraph 21 of resolution 1521 (2003) (“the Committee”) and the Panel of Experts,\nwithin its capabilities and areas of deployment, and without prejudice to its\nmandate, in the following areas:\n      (a) monitoring the implementation of the measures in paragraphs 2, 4, 6 and\n10 of resolution 1521 (2003) in accordance with paragraph 23 of that resolution;\n      (b) supporting efforts by the Transitional Government to prevent violations\nof those measures, and reporting any such violations;\n     (c) collecting, as appropriate, arms and any related materiel brought into\nLiberia in violation of the measures taken by States to implement paragraph 2 of\n\n\n\n                                                                                                      3\n\nS/RES/1607 (2005)\n\n\n               resolution 1521 (2003), and disposing of such arms and related materiel as\n               appropriate;\n                    (d) assisting the National Transitional Government of Liberia in monitoring\n               the recruitment and movement of ex-combatants, and reporting any relevant\n               information to the Panel and the Committee, in order to reduce the opportunity for\n               ex-combatants to undermine the peace process or provoke renewed instability in\n               Liberia and the subregion;\n                     (e) developing a strategy, in conjunction with the Economic Community of\n               West African States and other international partners, to consolidate a national legal\n               framework as mandated in resolution 1509 (2003), including the implementation by\n               the National Transitional Government of Liberia of the measures in paragraph 1 of\n               resolution 1532 (2004);\n                     12. Calls upon UNMIL and the United Nations Missions in Sierra Leone and\n               Côte d’Ivoire to intensify their cooperation, within their capabilities and areas of\n               deployment and without prejudice to their mandates, to monitor arms trafficking and\n               recruitment of mercenaries within the subregion;\n                    13. Reiterates its call on the international donor community to continue to\n               provide assistance to the peace process, including for reintegration of ex-combatants\n               and reconstruction, to contribute generously to consolidated humanitarian appeals,\n               to disburse as soon as possible the pledges made at the Liberia Reconstruction\n               Conference in New York on 5-6 February 2004 and to respond to the financial,\n               administrative and technical needs of the National Transitional Government of\n               Liberia, in particular to assist the Government to meet the conditions referred to in\n               paragraph 3 above, so that the measures can be lifted as soon as possible;\n                     14. Decides to re-establish the Panel of Experts appointed pursuant to\n               resolution 1579 (2004) for a further period until 21 December 2005 to undertake the\n               following tasks:\n                     (a) to conduct a follow-up assessment mission to Liberia and neighbouring\n               States, in order to investigate and compile a report on the implementation, and any\n               violations, of the measures imposed by resolution 1521 (2003), including any\n               information relevant to the designation by the Committee of the individuals\n               described in paragraph 4 (a) of resolution 1521 (2003) and paragraph 1 of resolution\n               1532 (2004), and including the various sources of financing, such as from natural\n               resources, for the illicit trade of arms;\n                    (b) to assess the impact and effectiveness of the measures imposed by\n               paragraph 1 of resolution 1532 (2004);\n                   (c) to assess the progress made towards meeting the conditions for lifting the\n               measures imposed by resolution 1521 (2003);\n                   (d) to assess the humanitarian and socio-economic impact of the measures\n               imposed by paragraphs 2, 4, 6 and 10 of resolution 1521 (2003);\n                     (e) to report to the Council through the Committee by 7 December 2005 on\n               all the issues listed in this paragraph, and to provide informal updates to the\n               Committee as appropriate before that date, especially on progress towards meeting\n               the conditions for lifting the measures imposed by paragraphs 6 and 10 of resolution\n               1521 (2003);\n\n\n\n4\n\n                                                                                S/RES/1607 (2005)\n\n\n      (f) to cooperate with other relevant groups of experts, in particular that\nestablished on Côte d’Ivoire by resolution 1584 of 1 February 2005;\n     15.

Takes note of the action plan presented by the Secretary-General relating\n               to the establishment of a monitoring and reporting mechanism on children and\n               armed conflict as called for in paragraph 2 of its resolution 1539 (2004) and, in this\n               regard:\n                     (a) Underlines that the mechanism is to collect and provide timely, objective,\n               accurate and reliable information on the recruitment and use of child soldiers in\n               violation of applicable international law and on other violations and abuses\n               committed against children affected by armed conflict, and the mechanism will\n               report to the working group to be created in accordance with paragraph 8 of this\n               resolution;\n                     (b) Underlines further that this mechanism must operate with the\n               participation of and in cooperation with national Governments and relevant United\n               Nations and civil society actors, including at the country level;\n                    (c) Stresses that all actions undertaken by United Nations entities within the\n               framework of the monitoring and reporting mechanism must be designed to support\n               and supplement, as appropriate, the protection and rehabilitation roles of national\n               Governments;\n                    (d) Also stresses that any dialogue established under the framework of the\n               monitoring and reporting mechanism by United Nations entities with non-State\n               armed groups in order to ensure protection for and access to children must be\n               conducted in the context of peace processes where they exist and the cooperation\n               framework between the United Nations and the concerned Government;\n                     3.    Requests the Secretary-General to implement without delay, the abovementioned monitoring and reporting mechanism, beginning with its application,\n               within existing resources, in close consultation with countries concerned, to parties\n               in situations of armed conflict listed in the annexes to the Secretary-General’s report\n               (S/2005/72) that are on the agenda of the Security Council, and then, in close\n               consultation with countries concerned, to apply it to parties in other situations of\n               armed conflict listed in the annexes to the Secretary-General’s report (S/2005/72),\n               bearing in mind the discussion of the Security Council and the views expressed by\n               Member States, in particular during the annual debate on Children and Armed\n               Conflict, and also taking into account the findings and recommendations of an\n               independent review on the implementation of the mechanism to be reported to the\n               Security Council by 31 July 2006.

Calls on both sides to participate in constructive negotiations towards a\n               political settlement of the conflict and to spare no efforts to overcome their ongoing\n               mutual mistrust and underlines that the process of negotiation leading to a lasting\n               political settlement acceptable to both sides will require concessions from both\n               sides;\n                    7.    Welcomes the commitment by the Georgian side to a peaceful resolution\n               of the conflict and calls on both parties further to publicly dissociate themselves\n               from all militant rhetoric and demonstrations of support for military options;\n                    8.

  accountable all those who bear responsibility in its planning, sponsoring,\n               organization and perpetration,\n                     Mindful of the demand of the Lebanese people that all those responsible for the\n               terrorist bombing that killed former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri and\n               others be identified and held accountable,\n                     Acknowledging in this connection the letter of the Prime Minister of Lebanon\n               to the Secretary-General of 13 October 2005 (S/2005/651) requesting that the\n               mandate of the Commission be extended to enable the Commission to continue to\n               assist the competent Lebanese authorities in any further investigation of the various\n               dimensions of the terrorist crime,\n                     Acknowledging also the concurrent recommendation of the Commission that\n               continued international assistance is needed to help the Lebanese authorities get\n               right to the bottom of this terrorist act, and that a sustained effort on the part of the\n               international community to establish an assistance and cooperation platform\n               together with the Lebanese authorities in the field of security and justice is essential,\n                    Willing to continue to assist Lebanon in the search for the truth and in holding\n               those responsible for this terrorist act accountable for their crime,\n                    Calling upon all States to extend to the Lebanese authorities and to the\n               Commission the assistance they may need and request in connection with the\n               inquiry, and in particular to provide them with all relevant information they may\n               possess pertaining to this terrorist attack,\n                     Reaffirming its profound commitment to the national unity and stability of\n               Lebanon, emphasizing that the future of Lebanon should be decided through\n               peaceful means by the Lebanese themselves, free of intimidation and foreign\n               interference, and warning in this regard that attempts to undermine the stability of\n               Lebanon will not be tolerated,\n                    Taking note of the Commission’s conclusions that, given the infiltration of\n               Lebanese institutions and society by the Syrian and Lebanese intelligence services\n               working in tandem, it would be difficult to envisage a scenario whereby such a\n               complex assassination plot could have been carried out without their knowledge,\n               and that there is probable cause to believe that the decision to assassinate former\n               Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri could not have been taken without the approval of topranked Syrian security officials,\n                      Mindful of the Commission’s conclusion that while the Syrian authorities, after\n               initial hesitation, have cooperated to a limited degree with the Commission, several\n               Syrian officials have tried to mislead the investigation by giving false or inaccurate\n               statements,\n                    Convinced that it is unacceptable in principle that anyone anywhere should\n               escape accountability for an act of terrorism for any reason, including because of his\n               own obstruction of the investigation or failure to cooperate in good faith,\n\n\n\n\n2\n\n                                                                                        S/RES/1636 (2005)\n\n\n      Determining that this terrorist act and its implications constitute a threat to\ninternational peace and security,\n      Emphasizing the importance of peace and stability in the region, and the need\nfor peaceful solutions,\n     Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                                        == I ==\n     1.    Welcomes the report of the Commission;\n     2.    Takes note with extreme concern of the Commission’s conclusion that,\nthere is converging evidence pointing at the involvement of both Lebanese and\nSyrian officials in this terrorist act, and that it is difficult to envisage a scenario\nwhereby such complex assassination could have been carried out without their\nknowledge;\n      3.    Decides as a step to assist in the investigation of this crime and without\nprejudice to the ultimate judicial determination of the guilt or innocence of any\nindividual;\n      (a) that all individuals designated by the Commission or the Government of\nLebanon as suspected of involvement in the planning, sponsoring, organizing or\nperpetrating of this terrorist act, upon notification of such designation to and\nagreement of the Committee established in subparagraph (b) below, shall be subject\nto the following measures:\n   – All States shall take the measures necessary to prevent entry into or transit\n     through their territories of such individuals, provided that nothing in this\n     paragraph shall obligate a state to refuse entry into its territory to its own\n     nationals, or, if such individuals are found within their territory, shall ensure in\n     accordance with applicable law that they are available for interview by the\n     Commission if it so requests;\n   – All States shall: freeze all funds, financial assets and economic resources that\n     are on their territories that are owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by\n     such individuals, or that are held by entities owned or controlled, directly or\n     indirectly, by such individuals or by persons acting on their behalf or at their\n     direction; ensure that no funds, financial assets or economic resources are\n     made available by their nationals or by any persons within their territories to\n     or for the benefit of such individuals or entities; and cooperate fully in\n     accordance with applicable law with any international investigations related to\n     the assets or financial transactions of such individuals, entities or persons\n     acting on their behalf, including through sharing of financial information;\n     (b) to establish, in accordance with rule 28 of its provisional rules of\nprocedure, a Committee of the Security Council consisting of all the members of the\nCouncil to undertake the tasks described in the annex to this resolution;\n      (c) that the Committee and any measures still in force under\nsubparagraph (a) will terminate when the Committee reports to the Security Council\nthat all investigative and judicial proceedings relating to this terrorist attack have\nbeen completed, unless otherwise decided by the Security Council;\n\n\n\n\n                                                                                                       3\n\nS/RES/1636 (2005)\n\n\n                     4.   Determines that the involvement of any State in this terrorist act would\n               constitute a serious violation by that State of its obligations to work to prevent and\n               refrain from supporting terrorism, in accordance in particular with\n               resolutions 1373 (2001) and 1566 (2004) and that it would amount also to a serious\n               violation of its obligation to respect the sovereignty and political independence of\n               Lebanon;\n                     5.   Takes note with extreme concern also of the Commission’s conclusion\n               that, while the Syrian authorities have cooperated in form but not in substance with\n               the Commission, several Syrian officials tried to mislead the Commission by giving\n               false or inaccurate information, and determines that Syria’s continued lack of\n               cooperation to the inquiry would constitute a serious violation of its obligations\n               under relevant resolutions, including 1373 (2001), 1566 (2004) and 1595 (2005);\n                      6.  Takes note of the recent statement by Syria regarding its intention now to\n               cooperate with the Commission and expects the Syrian Government to implement in\n               full the commitments it is now making;\n                                                       == II ==\n                     7.    Acknowledges that continued assistance from the Commission to\n               Lebanon, as requested by its Government in its letter to the Secretary-General of\n               13 October 2005 and recommended by the Commission in its report, remains\n               necessary to elucidate fully all aspects of this heinous crime, thus enabling that all\n               those involved in the planning, sponsoring, organizing and perpetrating of this\n               terrorist act, as well as their accomplices, be identified and brought to justice;\n                    8.   Welcomes in this regard the decision of the Secretary-General to extend\n               the mandate of the Commission until 15 December 2005, as authorized by the\n               Security Council in its resolution 1595 (2005), and decides that it will extend the\n               mandate further if recommended by the Commission and requested by the Lebanese\n               Government;\n                     9.    Commends the Lebanese authorities for the courageous decisions they\n               have already taken in relation to the inquiry, including upon recommendation of the\n               Commission, in particular the arrest and indictment of former Lebanese security\n               officials suspected of involvement in this terrorist act, and encourages the Lebanese\n               authorities to persist in their efforts with the same determination in order to get right\n               to the bottom of this crime;\n                                                      == III ==\n                    10. Endorses the Commission’s conclusion that it is incumbent upon the\n               Syrian authorities to clarify a considerable part of the questions which remain\n               unresolved;\n                    11.   Decides in this context that:\n                    (a) Syria must detain those Syrian officials or individuals whom the\n               Commission considers as suspected of involvement in the planning, sponsoring,\n               organizing or perpetrating of this terrorist act, and make them fully available to the\n               Commission;\n                     (b) the Commission shall have vis-à-vis Syria the same rights and authorities\n               as mentioned in paragraph 3 of resolution 1595 (2005), and Syria must cooperate\n               with the Commission fully and unconditionally on that basis;\n\n\n4\n\n                                                                                    S/RES/1636 (2005)\n\n\n     (c) the Commission shall have the authority to determine the location and\nmodalities for interview of Syrian officials and individuals it deems relevant to the\ninquiry;\n      12. Insists that Syria not interfere in Lebanese domestic affairs, either\ndirectly or indirectly, refrain from any attempt aimed at destabilizing Lebanon, and\nrespect scrupulously the sovereignty, territorial integrity, unity and political\nindependence of this country;\n                                     == IV ==\n      13. Requests the Commission to report to the Council on the progress of the\ninquiry by 15 December 2005, including on the cooperation received by the\nCommission from the Syrian authorities, or anytime before that date if the\nCommission deems that such cooperation does not meet the requirements of this\nresolution, so that the Council, if necessary, could consider further action;\n      14. Expresses its readiness to consider any additional request for assistance\nfrom the Lebanese Government to ensure that all those responsible for this crime are\nheld accountable;\n     15.   Decides to remain seized of the matter.\n\n\n\n\n                                                                                                   5\n\nS/RES/1636 (2005)\n\n\nAnnex\n                    The following are the functions of the Committee established pursuant to\n               paragraph 3 of this resolution:\n               1.

the particular importance of UNAMI\n               assistance for the upcoming election by 15 December 2005 of a government\n               pursuant to a newly adopted Constitution, and affirming that

advising and supporting\n               the Government of Iraq, as well as the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq,\n               contributing to coordination and delivery of reconstruction,

           S/RES/1637 (2005)\n\n\n                 Recognizing that the Government of Iraq will continue to have the primary\n           role in coordinating international assistance to Iraq and reaffirming the importance\n           of international assistance and development of the Iraqi economy and the\n           importance of coordinated donor assistance,\n                 Recognizing the significant role of the Development Fund for Iraq and the\n           International Advisory and Monitoring Board in helping the Government of Iraq to\n           ensure that Iraq’s resources are being used transparently and equitably for the\n           benefit of the people of Iraq,\n                 Determining that the situation in Iraq continues to constitute a threat to\n           international peace and security,\n                Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                 1.    Notes that the presence of the multinational force in Iraq is at the request\n           of the Government of Iraq and, having regard to the letters annexed to this\n           resolution, reaffirms the authorization for the multinational force as set forth in\n           resolution 1546 (2004) and decides to extend the mandate of the multinational force\n           as set forth in that resolution until 31 December 2006;\n                 2.

Requests that the Secretary-General continue to report to the Council on\n           UNAMI’s operations in Iraq on a quarterly basis;\n                6.    Requests that the United States, on behalf of the multinational force,\n           continue to report to the Council on the efforts and progress of this force on a\n           quarterly basis;\n                7.    Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.\n\n\n\n\n05-59277                                                                                                         3\n\nS/RES/1637 (2005)\n\n\nAnnex I\n               Letter dated 27 October 2005 from the Prime Minister\n               of Iraq addressed to the President of the Security Council\n                                                                                   [Original: Arabic]\n\n               Sir,\n                     On 15 October 2005 Iraq voted in a general referendum held at the national\n               level for the purpose of approving a new Constitution for Iraq. The country thus\n               took another important step towards building a strong democratic future and\n               establishing a Government elected in accordance with a permanent Constitution. At\n               the same time, Iraq is approaching the completion of its political transformation\n               through the process of electing its future legislative authority and forming a new\n               Government, which is to take place in December 2005. There still remains an\n               extensive agenda for reconstruction and political development, the realization of\n               which will require security and stability.\n                     We are proceeding towards political stability and economic prosperity and\n               taking fundamental steps towards restoring security and stability. Yet Iraq is still\n               confronted by forces of terrorism that incorporate foreign elements which carry out\n               horrific attacks and terrorist acts in an attempt to thwart political and economic\n               development in Iraq. The Iraqi security forces, which are growing in size, capacity\n               and experience day by day, need more time to fill out their ranks, fully equip\n               themselves and complete their training with a view to assuming responsibility for all\n               security matters and providing adequate security for the Iraqi people. Until such\n               time as the Iraqi security forces assume full responsibility for Iraq’s security, we\n               need the continued support of the international community, including the\n               participation of the Multinational Force, in order to establish lasting peace and\n               security in Iraq. We understand that the Multinational Force is willing to continue its\n               efforts. We therefore request the Security Council to extend, for a period of 12\n               months starting 31 December 2005, the mandate of the Multinational Force, as\n               provided in Council resolution 1546 (2004), including the tasks and arrangements\n               specified in the letters annexed thereto, with the proviso that the Council shall\n               review that mandate upon being so requested by the Government of Iraq or at the\n               end of a period of eight months from the date of the resolution and declare, in the\n               extension, that it will terminate the mandate before the expiry of that period should\n               the Government of Iraq so request.\n                     The Government of Iraq believes that the provisions of resolution 1546 (2004)\n               relating to the deposit of proceeds into the Development Fund for Iraq and the role\n               of the International Advisory and Monitoring Board will help to ensure that Iraq’s\n               natural resources are used for the benefit of the Iraqi people. We understand that the\n               funds deposited in the Development Fund for Iraq belong to Iraq and will continue\n               to enjoy the immunities and privileges of the Fund, given the importance of those\n               terms for the Iraqi people during this critical period. We request the Security\n               Council to extend the validity of those terms for an additional 12 months and to\n               review them upon being so requested by the Government of Iraq or at the end of a\n               period of eight months from the date of the resolution.\n                   The Iraqi people are determined to establish for themselves a stable, peaceful\n               democracy, which will provide the basis for the establishment of a vibrant economy.\n\n\n\n4                                                                                                        05-59277\n\n                                                                                              S/RES/1637 (2005)\n\n\n           This vision of Iraq’s future can become a reality with the help of the international\n           community.\n                It is my understanding that the sponsors intend to have the present letter\n           annexed to the resolution on Iraq currently being drafted.

This partnership plays a critical role in\n               the daily efforts to improve security throughout Iraq. In the context of this\n               partnership, the MNF is prepared to continue to undertake a broad range of tasks to\n               contribute to the maintenance of security and stability and to ensure force\n               protection, acting under the authorities set forth in resolution 1546 (2004), including\n               the tasks and arrangements set out in the letters annexed thereto, and in close\n               cooperation with the Government of Iraq. The forces that make up the MNF will\n               remain committed to acting consistently with their obligations under international\n               law, including the law of armed conflict.\n                     Substantial progress has already been made in helping to build and train the\n               Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), allowing them to take on increasing security\n               responsibilities. The Government of Iraq and the MNF are developing a security\n               plan to set forth the conditions necessary for transfer of security responsibility from\n               the MNF to the ISF. Conditions permitting, we look forward to notable progress in\n               the next year. Together, we will build towards the day when the Iraqi forces assume\n               full responsibility for the maintenance of security and stability in Iraq.\n                    The co-sponsors intend to annex the present letter to the resolution on Iraq\n               under consideration.

Decides, on the basis of its assessment of progress made to date towards\n               meeting the conditions for lifting the measures imposed by resolution 1521 (2003):\n                    (a) To renew the measures on arms and travel imposed by paragraphs 2 and\n               4 of resolution 1521 (2003) for a further period of 12 months from the date of\n               adoption of this resolution;\n\n\n\n05-65399 (E)\n*0565399*\n\nS/RES/1647 (2005)\n\n\n                    (b) To renew the measures on diamonds and timber imposed by paragraphs 6\n               and 10 of resolution 1521 (2003) for a further period of six months from the date of\n               adoption of this resolution;\n                    (c) To review any of the above measures at the request of the new\n               Government of Liberia, once the Government reports to the Council that the\n               conditions set out in resolution 1521 (2003) for terminating the measures have been\n               met, and provides the Council with information to justify its assessment;\n                    2.    Reiterates the Council’s readiness to terminate these measures once the\n               conditions set forth in paragraphs 5, 7 and 11 of resolution 1521 (2003) have been\n               met;\n                     3.   Welcomes the determination of the President-elect of Liberia, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, to meet the conditions for terminating the measures thus renewed, and\n               encourages the new Government of Liberia:\n                    (a) To reform the Forestry Development Authority, to implement the Liberia\n               Forest Initiative and to implement the Forest Concession Review Committee’s\n               recommendations for reform and cancellation of existing logging concessions,\n               which will ensure transparency, accountability and sustainable forest management\n               and contribute towards the lifting of the measures on timber in accordance with\n               paragraphs 11 and 12 of resolution 1521 (2003);\n                    (b) To consider, with the assistance of international partners and for a\n               specific time period, the possibility of commissioning independent external advice\n               on the management of Liberia’s diamond resources, in order to increase revenue and\n               investor confidence and to attract additional donor support;\n                      4.    Encourages the new Government of Liberia to implement the\n               Governance and Economic Management Assistance Program, designed to ensure\n               prompt implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and expedite the\n               lifting of the measures imposed by resolution 1521 (2003);\n                    5.   Welcomes the assistance provided by UNMIL to the Government of\n               Liberia in re-establishing its authority throughout the country, and encourages\n               UNMIL to continue its joint patrols with the Forestry Development Authority;\n                    6.

However, terrorists and forces hostile to democracy\n               continue to target innocent citizens and the various State institutions.\n                     Security and stability in Iraq are the responsibility of the Iraqi Government.\n               The Security Council affirmed in its resolution 1546 (2004) that Iraqi security forces\n               would play a progressively greater role in enabling the Iraqi Government to assume\n               that responsibility, diminishing and thereby ending the role of the multinational\n               force, when the responsibility for security of the Iraqi security forces increases and\n               expands. From the experience of the past two and a half years, it was established\n               that the Iraqi security forces, which operated under the command of the Iraqi\n               Government, had acquired new experiences and responsibilities and had grown in\n               size, experience and capacity, demonstrated by their increased ability to assume full\n               responsibility in the fields of security and defence.\n                     We started to reap the fruits of success when our forces assumed responsibility\n               for security in the governorates of Al Muthanna and Dhi Qar. In September 2006,\n               the Ministry of Defence assumed the operational command and control of the\n               ground, naval and air force commands. It also assumed operational command and\n               control over two military divisions, indicating an increase in the ability of the Iraqi\n               Army to assume the leadership in providing security to the Iraqi people. The Iraqi\n               Government is also relentlessly working on building the necessary administrative\n               and logistics system to make our Iraqi forces self-sufficient.\n                     It is the intention of the Iraqi Government to continue increasing the number\n               of governorates that fall fully under the control of the Iraqi authorities during 2006,\n               until all 18 are under their control. When the responsibilities for security are\n               transferred to the Iraqi authorities in a certain governorate, the multinational force\n               will be present in its bases and can provide support to Iraqi security forces at the\n               request of the Iraqi authorities, in accordance with an agreement that allocates the\n               authorities and responsibilities between the two sides.\n                     We have agreed on three common goals: first, assumption by Iraq of\n               recruiting, training, equipping and arming of Iraqi security forces; second,\n               assumption by Iraq of command and control over Iraqi forces; and third, transferring\n               responsibility for security to the Government of Iraq. We have formed a high-level\n               working group that will provide recommendations on how best to achieve these\n\n\n4                                                                                                        06-63235\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/1723 (2006)\n\n\n           goals. It has also been agreed to work towards the Iraqi authorities’ assuming the\n           apprehension, detention and imprisonment tasks on the basis of an agreement to be\n           reached between the Government of Iraq and the multinational force.\n                Hence, the Iraqi Government requests the extension of the mandate of the\n           multinational force in accordance with Security Council resolutions 1546 (2004)\n           and 1637 (2005) and the letters attached thereto for another 12 months starting on\n           31 December 2006, provided that the extension is subject to a commitment by the\n           Council to end the mandate at an earlier date if the Iraqi Government so requests\n           and that the mandate is subject to periodic review before 15 June 2007. The Iraqi\n           Government requests the termination of the UNMOVIC mission due to the\n           completion of its tasks. The Iraqi Government believes that the time has come to\n           terminate the war compensations that were imposed on Iraq.\n                 The Iraqi Government realizes that the provisions of resolution 1546 (2004)\n           relating to the depositing of revenues in the Development Fund for Iraq and the role\n           of the International Advisory and Monitoring Board help to ensure the use of the\n           natural resources of Iraq for the benefit of the people of Iraq. We recognize that the\n           fund plays an important role in convincing donors and creditors that Iraq is\n           managing its resources and debts in a responsible way for the Iraqi people. This role\n           is vital, especially since Iraq is seeking to form a new partnership with the\n           international community to build a vital network for economic transformation and\n           integration in the economies of the region and the world through the International\n           Compact with Iraq. We ask the Security Council to extend the mandate of the\n           Development Fund for Iraq and the International Advisory and Monitoring Board\n           for another 12 months and to review this mandate based on the request of the Iraqi\n           Government before 15 June 2007.\n                 The people of Iraq are determined to establish a stable and peaceful democracy\n           for themselves and a proper basis for building a vital economy. This vision for the\n           future of Iraq cannot become a reality without the help of the international\n           community.\n                We realize that the Security Council intends to append the present letter to the\n           special resolution concerning Iraq that is being prepared. Meanwhile, I ask that the\n           present letter be distributed to the members of the Security Council as soon as\n           possible.\n\n                                                                (Signed) Nuri Kamel al-Maliki\n                                                          Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq\n\n\n\n\n06-63235                                                                                                       5\n\nS/RES/1723 (2006)\n\n\nAnnex II\n               Letter dated 17 November 2006 from the Secretary of State of the\n               United States of America to the President of the Security Council\n\n                     Having reviewed the request of the Government of Iraq to extend the mandate\n               of the Multinational Force (MNF) in Iraq and following consultations with the\n               Government of Iraq, I am writing to confirm, consistent with this request, that MNF\n               under unified command stands ready to continue to fulfil its mandate as set out in\n               Security Council resolution 1546 (2004) and extended by Security Council\n               resolution 1637 (2005).\n                     The Government of Iraq and MNF in Iraq continue to improve their\n               cooperation through a security partnership to combat the challenges that threaten\n               Iraq’s security and stability. This partnership has evolved over time to incorporate\n               the increasing leadership by Iraqi security forces in fighting and deterring terrorism\n               and other violent acts throughout Iraq’s 18 provinces. In the context of this\n               partnership, MNF is prepared to continue to undertake a broad range of tasks to\n               contribute to the maintenance of security and stability and to ensure force\n               protection, acting under the authorities set forth in resolution 1546 (2004), including\n               the tasks and arrangements set out in the letters annexed thereto, and in close\n               cooperation with the Government of Iraq. The forces that make up MNF will remain\n               committed to acting consistently with their obligations and rights under\n               international law, including the law of armed conflict.\n                    Iraqi security forces have already made substantial progress this year in\n               developing their capabilities and, as a result, they are shouldering a greater portion\n               of the responsibility for Iraq’s security. This progress is most notable in their\n               assumption of security responsibility in Dhi Qar and Muthana and the assumption of\n               operational command and control over the Ground, Naval, and Air Force Commands\n               and two Iraqi military divisions by the Ministry of Defense.\n                     The Government of Iraq and MNF have agreed on three common goals: Iraqi\n               assumption of recruiting, training, equipping and arming of the Iraqi security forces;\n               Iraqi assumption of command and control over Iraqi forces; and transferring\n               responsibility for security to the Government of Iraq. We look forward to\n               recommendations from the newly formed high-level working group on how these\n               goals can best be achieved. The strong partnership between the Government of Iraq\n               and MNF is a vital factor in fulfilling these goals. Together we will build towards\n               the day when the Iraqi forces assume full responsibility for the maintenance of\n               security and stability in Iraq.\n                    The co-sponsors intend to annex this letter to the resolution on Iraq that is\n               under consideration. In the meantime, I request that you provide copies of the\n               present letter to members of the Council as quickly as possible.\n\n                                                                          (Signed) Condoleezza Rice\n\n\n\n\n6                                                                                                        06-63235\n", "text_length": 22519, "title": "Security Council resolution 1723 (2006) [on extension of the mandate of the Multinational Force in Iraq]", "agenda_information": "S/61 [119] IRAQ SITUATION", "subjects": "Multinational Force in Iraq|Development Fund for Iraq|Development Fund for Iraq.

to keep UNFICYP beyond 15 December\n               2006,\n                     Taking note of the assessment of the Secretary-General that the security\n               situation on the island

July agreement and welcoming the principles and\n               decisions enshrined therein, including recognition that the status quo is unacceptable\n               and that a comprehensive settlement based on a bicommunal, bizonal federation and\n               political equality, as set out in the relevant Security Council resolutions, is both\n               desirable and possible and

implementation of any of those decisions, underlining the need\n               to implement the 8 July agreement without further delay, and expressing the hope\n               that the recent positive reaction of the leaders of both communities to suggestions\n               by the United Nations will result in the finalisation of the preparatory phase as soon\n               as possible in order

Persons since August\n               2004, and the progress which has since been made, as well as the appointment by\n               the Secretary-General of a third member,\n

contacts and events, including,\n               inter alia, on the part of the United Nations, and urging the two sides to promote\n               further bicommunal contacts and to remove any obstacles to such contacts,\n                     Expressing concern, in this respect, that opportunities for constructive public\n               debate about the future of the island, within and between the communities, are\n               becoming fewer, and that this atmosphere is hampering, in particular, efforts to\n               foster bicommunal activities intended to benefit Greek Cypriots and Turkish\n               Cypriots, and to promote reconciliation and build trust in order to facilitate a\n               comprehensive settlement,\n                     Noting the primary role of the United Nations in assisting the parties to bring\n               the Cyprus conflict and division of the island to a comprehensive and durable\n               settlement,\n

developments on the ground and the views of the parties, and reverting to the\n               Council with recommendations as appropriate for further adjustments to\n               UNFICYP’s mandate,

their voluntary contributions to the funding of\n               UNFICYP, and his request for further voluntary contributions from other countries\n               and organizations,\n                    Welcoming and encouraging efforts by the United Nations to sensitize\n               peacekeeping personnel in the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS and other\n               communicable diseases in all its peacekeeping operations,\n                    1.

To this end, they may approach the focal point,\n                which, if the designating state(s) so agree(s), will put them in contact with the\n                designating state(s).\n                6.      (a) If, after these consultations, any of these governments recommend\n                de-listing, that government will forward its recommendation, either through the\n                focal point or directly to the Chairman of the Sanctions Committee, accompanied by\n                that government’s explanation. The Chairman will then place the de-listing request\n                on the Committee’s agenda.\n                        (b) If any of the governments, which were consulted on the de-listing\n                request under paragraph 5 above oppose the request, the focal point will so inform\n                the Committee and provide copies of the de-listing request. Any member of the\n                Committee, which possesses information in support of the de-listing request, is\n                encouraged to share such information with the governments that reviewed the\n                de-listing request under paragraph 5 above.\n                        (c) If, after a reasonable time (3 months), none of the governments which\n                reviewed the de-listing request under paragraph 5 above comment, or indicate that\n                they are working on the de-listing request to the Committee and require an\n                additional definite period of time, the focal point will so notify all members of the\n                Committee and provide copies of the de-listing request. Any member of the\n                Committee may, after consultation with the designating government(s), recommend\n                de-listing by forwarding the request to the Chairman of the Sanctions Committee,\n                accompanied by an explanation. (Only one member of the Committee needs to\n                recommend de-listing in order to place the issue on the Committee’s agenda.) If\n                after one month, no Committee member recommends de-listing, then it shall be\n         __________________\n              1 A State can decide, that as a rule, its citizens or residents should address their de-listing requests\n\n                directly to the focal point. The State will do so by a declaration addressed to the Chairman of the\n                Committee that will be published on the Committee’s website.\n\n\n2                                                                                                                        06-67131\n\n                                                                                         S/RES/1730 (2006)\n\n\n           deemed rejected and the Chairman of the Committee shall inform the focal point\n           accordingly.\n           7.

Stressing, in this regard, the need to adopt a broad strategy of\n               conflict prevention, which addresses the root causes of armed conflict in a\n               comprehensive manner in order to enhance the protection of civilians on a long-term\n               basis, including by promoting sustainable development, poverty eradication,\n               national reconciliation, good governance, democracy, the rule of law and respect for\n               and protection of human rights,\n                     Deeply concerned at the frequency of acts of violence in many parts of the\n               world against journalists, media professionals and associated personnel in armed\n               conflict, in particular deliberate attacks in violation of international humanitarian\n               law,\n                     Recognizing that the consideration of the issue of protection of journalists in\n               armed conflict by the Security Council is based on the urgency and importance of\n               this issue, and recognizing the valuable role that the Secretary-General can play in\n               providing more information on this issue,\n                     1.    Condemns intentional attacks against journalists, media professionals and\n               associated personnel, as such, in situations of armed conflict, and calls upon all\n               parties to put an end to such practices;\n                     2.    Recalls in this regard that journalists, media professionals and associated\n               personnel engaged in dangerous professional missions in areas of armed conflict\n               shall be considered as civilians and shall be respected and protected as such,\n               provided that they take no action adversely affecting their status as civilians. This is\n               without prejudice to the right of war correspondents accredited to the armed forces\n               to the status of prisoners of war provided for in article 4.A.4 of the Third Geneva\n               Convention;\n                     3.   Recalls also that media equipment and installations constitute civilian\n               objects, and in this respect shall not be the object of attack or of reprisals, unless\n               they are military objectives;\n                     4.    Reaffirms its condemnation of all incitements to violence against\n               civilians in situations of armed conflict, further reaffirms the need to bring to\n               justice, in accordance with applicable international law, individuals who incite such\n               violence, and indicates its willingness, when authorizing missions, to consider,\n               where appropriate, steps in response to media broadcast inciting genocide, crimes\n               against humanity and serious violations of international humanitarian law;\n                    5.    Recalls its demand that all parties to an armed conflict comply fully with\n               the obligations applicable to them under international law related to the protection\n               of civilians in armed conflict, including journalists, media professionals and\n               associated personnel;\n\n\n\n\n2                                                                                                         06-68160\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/1738 (2006)\n\n\n                6.     Urges States and all other parties to an armed conflict to do their utmost\n           to prevent violations of international humanitarian law against civilians, including\n           journalists, media professionals and associated personnel;\n                7.    Emphasizes the responsibility of States to comply with the relevant\n           obligations under international law to end impunity and to prosecute those\n           responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law;\n                8.    Urges all parties involved in situations of armed conflict to respect the\n           professional independence and rights of journalists, media professionals and\n           associated personnel as civilians;\n                 9.   Recalls that the deliberate targeting of civilians and other protected\n           persons, and the commission of systematic, flagrant and widespread violations of\n           international humanitarian and human rights law in situations of armed conflict\n           may constitute a threat to international peace and security, and reaffirms in this\n           regard its readiness to consider such situations and, where necessary, to adopt\n           appropriate steps;\n                10. Invites States which have not yet done so to consider becoming parties to\n           the Additional Protocols I and II of 1977 to the Geneva Conventions at the earliest\n           possible date;\n                 11. Affirms that it will address the issue of protection of journalists in armed\n           conflict strictly under the agenda item “protection of civilians in armed conflict”;\n                12. Requests the Secretary-General to include as a sub-item in his next\n           reports on the protection of civilians in armed conflict the issue of the safety and\n           security of journalists, media professionals and associated personnel.\n\n\n\n\n06-68160                                                                                                       3\n", "text_length": 9338, "title": "Security Council resolution 1738 (2006) [on protection of civilians in armed conflict]", "agenda_information": "S/61 [189] CIVILIAN PERSONS--ARMED CONFLICTS", "subjects": "Geneva Conventions (1949)|Geneva Conventions (1949).

              and its resolution 1696 (2006) of 31 July 2006,\n                     Reaffirming its commitment to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear\n                Weapons, and recalling the right of States Party, in conformity with Articles I and II\n                of that Treaty, to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for\n                peaceful purposes without discrimination,\n                      Reiterating its serious concern over the many reports of the IAEA Director\n                General and resolutions of the IAEA Board of Governors

activities in Iran,\n                      Reiterating its serious concern over the IAEA Director General’s report of\n                28 April 2006 (GOV/2006/27) and its findings, including that, after more than three\n                years of Agency efforts to seek clarity about all aspects of Iran’s nuclear\n                programme, the existing gaps in knowledge continue to be a matter of concern, and\n                that the IAEA is unable to make progress in its efforts to provide assurances about\n                the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran,\n

  14 November 2006 (GOV/2006/64), Iran has not established full and sustained\n                suspension of all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities as set out in\n                resolution 1696 (2006), nor resumed its cooperation with the IAEA under the\n                Additional Protocol, nor taken the other steps required of it by the IAEA Board of\n

(2006) and which are essential to build confidence, and deploring Iran’s\n               refusal to take these steps,\n                     Emphasizing the importance of political and diplomatic efforts to find a\n               negotiated solution guaranteeing that Iran’s nuclear programme is exclusively for\n               peaceful purposes, and noting that such a solution would benefit nuclear nonproliferation elsewhere, and welcoming the continuing commitment of China,\n               France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United\n               States, with the support of the European Union’s High Representative to seek a\n               negotiated solution,\n                    Determined to give effect to its decisions by adopting appropriate measures to\n               persuade Iran to comply with resolution 1696 (2006) and with the requirements of\n               the IAEA, and also to constrain Iran’s development of sensitive technologies in\n               support of its nuclear and missile programmes, until such time as the Security\n               Council determines that the objectives of this resolution have been met,\n                    Concerned by the proliferation risks presented by the Iranian nuclear\n               programme and, in this context, by Iran’s continuing failure to meet the\n               requirements of the IAEA Board of Governors and to comply with the provisions of\n               Security Council resolution 1696 (2006), mindful of its primary responsibility under\n               the Charter of the United Nations for the maintenance of international peace and\n               security,\n                    Acting under Article 41 of Chapter VII of the Charter of the United

Affirms that Iran shall without further delay take the steps required by the\n               IAEA Board of Governors in its resolution GOV/2006/14, which are essential to\n               build confidence in the exclusively peaceful purpose of its nuclear programme and\n               to resolve outstanding questions;\n                    2.    Decides, in this context, that Iran shall without further delay suspend the\n               following proliferation sensitive nuclear activities:\n                    (a) all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities, including research and\n               development, to be verified by the IAEA; and\n                    (b) work on all heavy water-related projects, including the construction of a\n               research reactor moderated by heavy water, also to be verified by the IAEA;\n                    3.

In the\n           course of their investigation, Iraq Survey Group analysts visited suspected weaponsrelated sites and searched through documents. The report and its addenda are available\n           from the following website: https://www.cia.gov/library/reports/general-reports-1/iraq_wmd_2004/index.html.\n                 The letter dated 24 April 2007 from the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Iraq to the\n           President of the Security Council (S/2007/236, annex) outlines additional actions that Iraq\n           has taken and other actions that it intends to take in the near future to demonstrate and\n           affirm to the international community its belief that it is now in full compliance with its\n           disarmament obligations under the relevant Council resolutions.\n\n                                                                         (Signed) Condoleezza Rice\n                                                                                  Secretary of State\n                                                                           United States of America\n                                                                                Signed 27 June 2007\n                                                                      (Signed) Margaret Beckett\n                                                                             Secretary of State for\n                                                             Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs\n                                             United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland\n                                                                               Signed 22 June 2007\n\n\n07-40560                                                                                                            3\n\nS/RES/1762 (2007)\n\n\nAnnex II\n               Letter dated 8 April 2007 from the Minister for\n               Foreign Affairs of Iraq addressed to the President\n               of the Security Council\n                                                                                 [Original: Arabic]\n\n                     I have the honour to address the present letter to you, and through you to the\n               other members of the Security Council, requesting, on behalf of the Government of\n               Iraq, that the Council consider terminating the mandates of the United Nations\n               Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) and the Iraq\n               Action Team of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) established by the\n               Security Council resolutions on the elimination and removal of former Iraqi\n               weapons of mass destruction, as there are no longer any legal or technical grounds\n               for continuing their mandate and we are certain that Iraq currently has none of the\n               programmes or weapons in question. In this connection, please note the following:\n                     1.    Today Iraq has a democratically elected Government and a new\n               Parliament in addition to a Constitution that has been approved by the Iraqis. Today\n               it declares that it is joining the global democratic community in its support for the\n               international non-proliferation regime.\n                     2.    Article 9 (e) of the Permanent Constitution of the Government of Iraq\n               states that: “The Iraqi Government shall respect and implement Iraq’s international\n               obligations regarding the non-proliferation, non-development, non-production and\n               non-utilization of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, and shall prohibit\n               associated equipment, materiel, technologies and communication systems for use in\n               the development, manufacture, production and utilization of such weapons”. This\n               Constitution was approved by the Iraqi people in the national referendum held in\n               2005.\n                    3.   As Security Council members know, the Iraqi Government has\n               cooperated fully with the Iraq Survey Group (ISG) in respect of the former regime’s\n               weapons programme.\n                     4.  Today the Iraqi Government affirms its full commitment to the relevant\n               Security Council resolutions and, in that connection, reiterates the request that it\n               made to the President of the Council in March 2005, as well as the letter from the\n               Iraqi Prime Minister of 11 November 2006 calling for the termination of the\n               mandates of UNMOVIC and the IAEA Iraq Action Team.\n                     5.    The Iraqi Government reiterates its commitment to the Treaty on the\n               Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the safeguards agreement of the\n               International Atomic Energy Agency, the Biological Weapons Convention and the\n               1925 Geneva Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating,\n               Poisonous or Other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare. The\n               provisional Iraqi Government announced previously in July 2004 its commitment to\n               all the agreements and conventions on the prevention of proliferation. The Iraqi\n               technical authorities have elaborated a draft law on Iraq’s accession to the Chemical\n               Weapons Convention, which is currently before the Parliament — the country’s\n               legislative branch — with a view to its adoption and preparations are under way for\n\n\n\n\n4                                                                                                      07-40560\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/1762 (2007)\n\n\n           accession to the Model Additional Protocol of the International Atomic Energy\n           Agency’s safeguards regime.\n                 6.    With regard to coordination with IAEA on a code of conduct on the\n           safety and security of radioactive sources in Iraq, Iraq has set up an agency\n           responsible for identifying radioactive sources in Iraq and guaranteeing their\n           security, namely, the Iraqi Radioactive Sources Regulatory Authority. Since the fall\n           of the previous regime, IAEA has made four successful verification visits to the\n           Tuwaitha site — in June 2003, August 2004, September 2005 and, most recently, in\n           November 2006.\n                 7.    The Iraqi National Monitoring Directorate is overseeing the transfer of\n           dual-use substances and is now making every effort to harmonize Iraqi export\n           legislation with international standards.

region to support and cooperate with\n               AMISOM,\n                    Underlining that the full deployment of AMISOM will help avoid a security\n               vacuum and help create the conditions for full withdrawal of other foreign forces\n               from Somalia,\n                     Determining that the situation in Somalia continues to constitute a threat to\n               international peace and security in the region,\n                    Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                     1.    Stresses the need for broad-based and representative institutions reached\n               through an all-inclusive political process in Somalia, as envisaged in the\n               Transitional Federal Charter, in order to consolidate stability, peace and\n               reconciliation in the country and to ensure that international assistance is as\n               effective as possible;\n                     2.    Welcomes the convening of the National Reconciliation Congress (NRC)\n               at the initiative of the Transitional Federal Institutions, and urges all parties to\n               support the NRC and participate in the political process;\n                    3.   Stresses the need for the NRC to be an all-inclusive intra-Somali political\n               process involving all stakeholders including all political leaders, clan leaders,\n\n\n\n2                                                                                                        07-48562\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/1772 (2007)\n\n\n           religious leaders, the business community, and representatives of civil society such\n           as women’s groups;\n                 4.   Urges the Transitional Federal Institutions and all parties in Somalia to\n           respect the conclusions of the NRC and to sustain an equally inclusive ongoing\n           political process thereafter, and encourages them to unite behind the efforts to\n           promote such an inclusive dialogue;\n                5.   Reiterates the need for the ongoing political process to both agree on a\n           comprehensive and lasting cessation of hostilities and to produce a road map for a\n           comprehensive peace process, including democratic elections at the local, regional\n           and national levels as set out in Somalia’s Transitional Federal Charter;\n                 6.    Requests the Secretary-General to continue and intensify his efforts to\n           strengthen the NRC and, more widely, promote an ongoing all-inclusive political\n           process, including by assisting the Transitional Federal Institutions’ role in\n           delivering both and by working together with the African Union, the League of Arab\n           States, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the European Union, and\n           the International Contact Group on Somalia, and requests the Secretary-General to\n           report, pursuant to the timetable set out in paragraph 17 below, on the efforts of the\n           Transitional Federal Institutions, on progress made in the NRC and the subsequent\n           political process, and on any obstacles to the success of either;\n                7.   Requests the Secretary-General to provide in the same reports an\n           assessment of further measures that may be required to strengthen the ability of the\n           United Nations Political Office for Somalia (UNPOS) to fulfil the role envisaged in\n           paragraph 6 above, including the possibility of relocation from Nairobi to\n           Mogadishu and any security measures that might be necessary for such a move;\n                8.    States its intention, following the Secretary-General’s reports referred to\n           in paragraph 6 above, to take measures against those who seek to prevent or block\n           the NRC or a peaceful political process, or those who threaten the Transitional\n           Federal Institutions or AMISOM by force, or take action that undermines stability in\n           Somalia or the region;\n                 9.

Urges Member States to provide financial resources, personnel,\n               equipment and services for the full deployment of AMISOM;\n                    15.

Decides further that the mandate for the multinational force shall be\n               reviewed at the request of the Government of Iraq or no later than 15 June 2008, and\n               declares that it will terminate this mandate earlier if requested by the Government\n               of Iraq;\n                     3.   Decides to extend until 31 December 2008 the arrangements established\n               in paragraph 20 of resolution 1483 (2003) for the depositing into the Development\n               Fund for Iraq of proceeds from export sales of petroleum, petroleum products, and\n               natural gas and the arrangements referred to in paragraph 12 of resolution 1483\n               (2003) and paragraph 24 of resolution 1546 (2004) for the monitoring of the\n               Development Fund for Iraq by the International Advisory and Monitoring Board and\n               further decides that, subject to the exception provided for in paragraph 27 of\n               resolution 1546 (2004), the provisions of paragraph 22 of resolution 1483 (2003)\n               shall continue to apply until that date, including with respect to funds and financial\n               assets and economic resources described in paragraph 23 of that resolution;\n                     4.   Decides further that the provisions in the above paragraph for the deposit\n               of proceeds into the Development Fund for Iraq and for the role of the International\n               Advisory and Monitoring Board and the provisions of paragraph 22 of resolution\n               1483 (2003) shall be reviewed at the request of the Government of Iraq or no later\n               than 15 June 2008;\n                    5.    Requests that the United States, on behalf of the multinational force,\n               continue to report to the Council on the efforts and progress of this force on a\n               quarterly basis;\n                    6.    Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.\n\n\n\n\n4                                                                                                       07-65072\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/1790 (2007)\n\n\nAnnex I\n           Letter dated 7 December 2007 from the Prime Minister of Iraq\n           addressed to the President of the Security Council\n\n                                                                  [Original: Arabic and English]\n                 Iraq has now finished building its constitutional and legal institutions. It now\n           has a permanent constitution, which was voted on by the Iraqi people, and a\n           parliament, which represents the various components of Iraqi society. Iraq also has a\n           Government of national unity that includes all political factions. Today, despite the\n           efforts of terrorists and hostile forces to prevent us from developing our young and\n           vital democracy, we are determined to build a democratic, federal and unified Iraq.\n                 The Government of Iraq continues to act expeditiously to guarantee the\n           security of Iraqi citizens and the stability of the country. It is continuing to act\n           expeditiously to promote national reconciliation in order to ensure broad political\n           participation by all national forces, to protect human rights and strengthen the rule\n           of law, to achieve economic growth and to provide its citizens with basic services.\n                 Achieving security and stability in the country is a matter of the utmost\n           priority for the Iraqi Government. That is why it has devoted special attention to the\n           task of building and strengthening the capacities of the Iraqi Army and the internal\n           security forces, given that those are the two institutions that can guarantee security,\n           maintain order and confront terrorist and other outlaw groups. Our national forces\n           have successfully taken over the security functions of the multinational force in Iraq\n           (MNF-I) in eight governorates. It is our intention that our national forces will\n           continue to take over those security functions until all 18 governorates are under the\n           full security control of our troops in 2008. Our ground force command has assumed\n           control of all the divisions of the Iraqi Army. The effective coordination between the\n           command and MNF-I has had a positive effect on the security situation.\n                 The Government of Iraq stresses that MNF-I, working alongside our national\n           forces, has made an important and significant contribution to efforts to establish\n           security and the rule of law. The Government of Iraq requests that the Security\n           Council should consider extending the mandate of MNF-I in light of Iraq’s\n           achievements over the past few years, namely, the strengthened capacity of its Army\n           and security forces and its significant successes in the security, political and\n           economic spheres. A review of the role and authority of MNF-I will thus be required\n           in order to strike a balance between, on the one hand, the need to extend, one last\n           time, the mandate of the force and, on the other hand, progress made by Iraq in the\n           area of security. In this regard, it is important for Iraq to be treated as an\n           independent and fully sovereign State and, in seeking the aforementioned balance,\n           the following objectives should be highlighted:\n           1.   The Government of Iraq requests the extension of the mandate of MNF-I in\n                accordance with Security Council resolutions 1546 (2004), 1637 (2005) and\n                1723 (2006) and the letters annexed thereto for a period of 12 months\n                beginning on 31 December 2007, provided that the extension is subject to a\n                commitment by the Security Council to end the mandate at an earlier date if\n                the Government of Iraq so requests and that the mandate is subject to periodic\n                review before June 2008;\n\n\n\n\n07-65072                                                                                                        5\n\nS/RES/1790 (2007)\n\n\n               2.   The functions of recruiting, training, arming and equipping the Iraqi Army and\n                    Iraq’s security forces are the responsibility of the Government of Iraq;\n               3.   The Government of Iraq will assume responsibility for command and control\n                    of all Iraqi forces, and MNF-I, in coordination with the Government of Iraq,\n                    will provide support and backing to those forces;\n               4.   The Government of Iraq will be responsible for arrest, detention and\n                    imprisonment tasks. When those tasks are carried out by MNF-I, there will be\n                    maximum levels of coordination, cooperation and understanding with the\n                    Government of Iraq;\n               5.   The Government of Iraq considers this to be its final request to the Security\n                    Council for the extension of the mandate of MNF-I and expects, in future, that\n                    the Security Council will be able to deal with the situation in Iraq without the\n                    need for action under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations;\n               6.   The Government of Iraq requests that the resolution to be adopted by the\n                    Security Council should reaffirm respect for the independence, sovereignty,\n                    unity and territorial integrity of Iraq and also reaffirm the commitment of\n                    Member States to the principle of non-intervention in its internal affairs.\n                     The Government of Iraq wishes to inform the Security Council that it has\n               signed a declaration of principles with the United States of America with a view to\n               establishing a long-term cooperative and friendly relationship.\n                     The Government of Iraq reaffirms the importance of the work of the Security\n               Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1518 (2003) in order to\n               restore the Iraqi funds and assets deposited outside Iraq by the previous regime. The\n               Government of Iraq urges the members of the Security Council to support the\n               Committee’s ongoing work in accordance with paragraph 19 of resolution 1483\n               (2003) concerning the identification of individuals and entities referred to in\n               paragraph 23 of that resolution, including the updating of the list of individuals and\n               entities identified by the Committee established pursuant to paragraph 6 of\n               resolution 661 (1990). The Government of Iraq looks forward to the Committee’s\n               report to the Security Council on its activities.\n                     The Government of Iraq recognizes the importance of the provisions of\n               paragraph 22 of resolution 1483 (2003) in ensuring that Iraq’s natural resources, the\n               proceeds from sales thereof and other funds deposited in the Development Fund for\n               Iraq are used for reconstruction activities and other efforts to benefit the people of\n               Iraq. Iraq therefore requests that, taking account of the exception provided for in\n               paragraph 27 of resolution 1546 (2004), the Security Council should continue to\n               apply the provisions of paragraph 22 of resolution 1483 (2003) until\n               31 December 2008, including in respect of the funds, financial assets and economic\n               resources described in paragraph 23 of resolution 1483 (2003).\n                     The Government of Iraq is of the opinion that the provisions of Security\n               Council resolution 1546 (2004) on the deposit of proceeds into the Development\n               Fund for Iraq will help to ensure that proceeds from Iraq’s natural resources are\n               used to serve the interests of the Iraqi people. The role played by the International\n               Advisory and Monitoring Board serves the same purpose. The Government of Iraq\n               understands that the Development Fund for Iraq plays an important role in helping\n               Iraq to convince donors and creditors that it is managing its resources and debts in a\n\n\n\n6                                                                                                       07-65072\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/1790 (2007)\n\n\n           responsible way in the interests of the Iraqi people. It should be pointed out that Iraq\n           is striving to form a new partnership with the international community in order to\n           build a dynamic network designed to transform its economy and integrate it with\n           other world economies through the International Compact with Iraq. We are\n           therefore requesting that the mandate of the Development Fund for Iraq and the\n           International Advisory and Monitoring Board be extended for a further 12 months.\n           We are also requesting that the mandate should be reviewed, based on the request of\n           the Iraqi Government, before 15 June 2008.\n                 The Government of Iraq is asking the Security Council to review its\n           resolutions relating to the deposit of 5 per cent of Iraq’s proceeds from oil into the\n           Compensation Fund established in accordance with Security Council resolution 687\n           (1991) and subsequent relevant resolutions, with a view to reducing that percentage\n           as much as possible, since the deposit of such a high percentage creates a financial\n           burden for Iraq at a time when it is in dire need of those funds to rebuild its\n           infrastructure, which was destroyed during the wars waged by the previous regime.\n           Furthermore, the increase in the price of oil means that the real amount represented\n           by that 5 per cent is at least five times greater than it was.\n                 The people of Iraq are determined to establish a stable and peaceful\n           democracy. They are determined to develop a dynamic economy built on solid\n           foundations and a creative vision. The people of Iraq need the support of the\n           international community to make that vision a reality.\n                It is our understanding that the Security Council intends to include this letter\n           as an annex to the resolution concerning Iraq that is currently being drafted. In the\n           meantime, I should be grateful if you would have this letter circulated to the\n           members of the esteemed Security Council as soon as possible.\n\n                                                                 (Signed) Nuri Kamel al-Maliki\n                                                           Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq\n\n\n\n\n07-65072                                                                                                         7\n\nS/RES/1790 (2007)\n\n\nAnnex II\n               Letter dated 10 December 2007 from the Secretary of State of the\n               United States of America to the President of the Security Council\n\n                     Having reviewed the request of the Government of Iraq to extend the mandate\n               of the Multinational Force (MNF) in Iraq and following consultations with the\n               Government of Iraq, I am writing to confirm, consistent with this request, that the\n               MNF under unified command stands ready to continue to fulfil its mandate as set\n               out in Security Council resolution 1546 (2004) and extended by Security Council\n               resolutions 1637 (2005) and 1723 (2006).\n                     Together, the Government of Iraq and MNF in Iraq combat the challenges that\n               threaten Iraq’s security and stability through a security partnership that has\n               continued to improve and that has resulted in progress in the past year. This\n               effective, cooperative partnership continues to evolve, as Iraqi security forces take\n               leadership in fighting and deterring terrorism and other violent acts throughout Iraq.\n               In the context of this partnership, MNF is prepared to continue to undertake a broad\n               range of tasks to contribute to the maintenance of security and stability and to\n               ensure force protection, acting under the authorities set forth in resolution 1546\n               (2004), including the tasks and arrangements set out in the letters annexed thereto,\n               and in close cooperation with the Government of Iraq. The forces that make up\n               MNF will remain committed to acting consistently with their obligations and rights\n               under international law, including the law of armed conflict.\n                     Iraqi security forces continue to make progress in developing their capabilities\n               as they move into the lead in taking responsibility for Iraq’s security. This year, the\n               Iraqi Ground Forces Command has assumed control of all Iraqi Army divisions.\n               Iraqi authorities and local security forces have assumed primary security\n               responsibility in eight of Iraq’s provinces, and we are working together for\n               continued progress in transition of security responsibility in all of Iraq’s eighteen\n               provinces. Together we will build towards the day when the Iraqi forces assume full\n               responsibility for the maintenance of security and stability in Iraq.\n                     In the coming year, the MNF is ready to continue to participate in the\n               maintenance of security and stability in Iraq, within the context of the growth in the\n               capabilities of the Iraqi Security Forces and Iraq’s successes in security, politics,\n               and the economy. The MNF is prepared to work with the Government of Iraq to help\n               it achieve the objectives it has set for itself as an independent and sovereign state.\n                    The co-sponsors intend to annex this letter to the resolution on Iraq that is\n               under consideration. In the meantime, I request that you provide copies of this letter\n               to members of the Council as quickly as possible.\n\n                                                                          (Signed) Condoleezza Rice\n\n\n\n\n8                                                                                                        07-65072\n", "text_length": 28773, "title": "Security Council resolution 1790 (2007) [on extension of the mandate of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI)]", "agenda_information": "S/62 [119] IRAQ SITUATION\nS/62 [124] UN ASSISTANCE MISSION FOR IRAQ", "subjects": "UN Assistance Mission for Iraq|Development Fund for Iraq.

(S/2006/521), and noting the\n               confirmation by these countries that once the confidence of the international\n               community in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear programme is\n               restored, it will be treated in the same manner as that of any Non-Nuclear Weapon\n               State party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons,\n                    Having regard to States’ rights and obligations relating to international trade,\n                     Welcoming the guidance issued by the Financial Actions Task Force

IAEA, and also to constrain\n               Iran’s development of sensitive technologies in support of its nuclear and missile\n               programmes, until such time as the Security Council determines that the objectives\n               of these resolutions have been met,\n                    Concerned by the proliferation risks presented by the Iranian nuclear\n               programme and, in this context, by Iran’s continuing failure to meet the\n               requirements of the IAEA Board of Governors and to comply with the provisions of\n               Security Council resolutions 1696 (2006), 1737 (2006) and 1747 (2007), mindful of\n               its primary responsibility under the Charter of the United Nations for the\n               maintenance of international

Summit to expand, as appropriate, the involvement of regional organizations in the\n               work of the Security Council, and to ensure that regional organizations that have a\n

Requests UNMIS, acting within its current mandate and within its current\n               means and capabilities, to provide technical and logistical support, as requested, to\n               help the parties in the process of demarcation of the 1956 North/South border, in\n               accordance with the CPA;\n\n\n\n\n2                                                                                                      08-32527\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/1812 (2008)\n\n\n                 9.

Expresses concern at the persistence of localized conflict and violence,\n               especially in the border area, mostly affecting civilians and with the potential for\n               escalation; urges in this regard full cooperation of the NCP and the SPLM in\n               carrying out the obligations of the GNU for the protection of civilians in armed\n               conflict, in accordance with resolution 1674; and supports UNMIS’s intent to\n               strengthen its conflict management capacity by developing and executing an\n               integrated strategy to support local conflict resolution mechanisms, in order to\n               maximize protection of civilians;\n                    20. Notes that conflict in one area of Sudan affects conflict in other areas in\n               Sudan and in the region, and therefore urges UNMIS to coordinate closely with\n               UNAMID, the AU-UN Joint Mediation Support Team and other stakeholders, to\n               ensure complementary implementation of these bodies’ mandates in support of the\n               implementation of the CPA and of the overall objective of peace in Sudan;\n                     21. Further requests UNMIS to coordinate with humanitarian, recovery and\n               development agencies, within its capabilities and areas of deployment, to facilitate\n               the provision of recovery and development assistance, which is essential to deliver a\n               peace dividend to the people of Sudan;\n                    22. Calls upon the GNU to cooperate fully with all the United Nations\n               operations within its territory in the implementation of their mandates;\n                    23.

Reiterates its concern over the restrictions and all impediments placed on\n               the movements of UNMIS personnel and materiel in Sudan, and the adverse impact\n               such restrictions and impediments have on UNMIS’s ability to perform its mandate\n               effectively and on the ability of the humanitarian community to reach affected\n               persons; and calls in this regard for all parties to cooperate fully with UNMIS and to\n               facilitate the performance of its mandate, and to abide by their obligations under\n               international humanitarian law;\n                     25. Requests the Secretary-General to continue to take the necessary\n               measures to ensure full compliance in UNMIS with the United Nations zerotolerance policy on sexual exploitation and abuse and to keep the Council informed,\n               and urges troop-contributing countries to take appropriate preventive action\n               including predeployment awareness training, and other action to ensure full\n               accountability in cases of such conduct involving their personnel;\n                    26.

view to such persons being prosecuted,\n                     Reaffirming its respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political\n                independence and unity of Somalia,\n                      Taking into account the crisis situation in Somalia, and the lack of capacity of\n                the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) to interdict pirates or patrol and secure\n                either the international sea lanes off the coast of Somalia or Somalia’s territorial\n                waters,\n\n\n\n\n            * Reissued for technical reasons.\n\n\n08-36177*

September 2007 regarding the piracy problems off\n               the coast of Somalia and the IMO Assembly resolution A.1002 (25), which strongly\n               urged Governments to increase their

Requests that cooperating states take appropriate steps to ensure that the\n           activities they undertake pursuant to the authorization in paragraph 7 do not have\n           the practical effect of denying or impairing the right of innocent passage to the ships\n           of any third State;\n                 9.

Stresses that sexual violence, when used or commissioned as a tactic of\n               war in order to deliberately target civilians or as a part of a widespread or\n               systematic attack against civilian populations, can significantly exacerbate\n               situations of armed conflict and may impede the restoration of international peace\n               and security, affirms in this regard that effective steps to prevent and respond to\n               such acts of sexual violence can significantly contribute to the maintenance of\n               international peace and security, and expresses its readiness, when considering\n               situations on the agenda of the Council, to, where necessary, adopt appropriate steps\n               to address widespread or systematic sexual violence;\n                     2.    Demands the immediate and complete cessation by all parties to armed\n               conflict of all acts of sexual violence against civilians with immediate effect;\n\n\n\n2                                                                                                         08-39144\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/1820 (2008)\n\n\n                  3.   Demands that all parties to armed conflict immediately take appropriate\n           measures to protect civilians, including women and girls, from all forms of sexual\n           violence, which could include, inter alia, enforcing appropriate military disciplinary\n           measures and upholding the principle of command responsibility, training troops on\n           the categorical prohibition of all forms of sexual violence against civilians,\n           debunking myths that fuel sexual violence, vetting armed and security forces to take\n           into account past actions of rape and other forms of sexual violence, and evacuation\n           of women and children under imminent threat of sexual violence to safety; and\n           requests the Secretary-General, where appropriate, to encourage dialogue to address\n           this issue in the context of broader discussions of conflict resolution between\n           appropriate UN officials and the parties to the conflict, taking into account, inter\n           alia, the views expressed by women of affected local communities;\n                 4.    Notes that rape and other forms of sexual violence can constitute a war\n           crime, a crime against humanity, or a constitutive act with respect to genocide,\n           stresses the need for the exclusion of sexual violence crimes from amnesty\n           provisions in the context of conflict resolution processes, and calls upon Member\n           States to comply with their obligations for prosecuting persons responsible for such\n           acts, to ensure that all victims of sexual violence, particularly women and girls, have\n           equal protection under the law and equal access to justice, and stresses the\n           importance of ending impunity for such acts as part of a comprehensive approach to\n           seeking sustainable peace, justice, truth, and national reconciliation;\n                 5.   Affirms its intention, when establishing and renewing state-specific\n           sanctions regimes, to take into consideration the appropriateness of targeted and\n           graduated measures against parties to situations of armed conflict who commit rape\n           and other forms of sexual violence against women and girls in situations of armed\n           conflict;\n                6.    Requests the Secretary-General, in consultation with the Security\n           Council, the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations and its Working Group\n           and relevant States, as appropriate, to develop and implement appropriate training\n           programs for all peacekeeping and humanitarian personnel deployed by the United\n           Nations in the context of missions as mandated by the Council to help them better\n           prevent, recognize and respond to sexual violence and other forms of violence\n           against civilians;\n                7.   Requests the Secretary-General to continue and strengthen efforts to\n           implement the policy of zero tolerance of sexual exploitation and abuse in United\n           Nations peacekeeping operations; and urges troop and police contributing countries\n           to take appropriate preventative action, including pre-deployment and in-theater\n           awareness training, and other action to ensure full accountability in cases of such\n           conduct involving their personnel;\n                 8.   Encourages troop and police contributing countries, in consultation with\n           the Secretary-General, to consider steps they could take to heighten awareness and\n           the responsiveness of their personnel participating in UN peacekeeping operations\n           to protect civilians, including women and children, and prevent sexual violence\n           against women and girls in conflict and post-conflict situations, including wherever\n           possible the deployment of a higher percentage of women peacekeepers or police;\n                 9.    Requests the Secretary-General to develop effective guidelines and\n           strategies to enhance the ability of relevant UN peacekeeping operations, consistent\n\n\n\n08-39144                                                                                                        3\n\nS/RES/1820 (2008)\n\n\n               with their mandates, to protect civilians, including women and girls, from all forms\n               of sexual violence and to systematically include in his written reports to the Council\n               on conflict situations his observations concerning the protection of women and girls\n               and recommendations in this regard;\n                     10. Requests the Secretary-General and relevant United Nations agencies,\n               inter alia, through consultation with women and women-led organizations as\n               appropriate, to develop effective mechanisms for providing protection from\n               violence, including in particular sexual violence, to women and girls in and around\n               UN managed refugee and internally displaced persons camps, as well as in all\n               disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration processes, and in justice and\n               security sector reform efforts assisted by the United Nations;\n                     11. Stresses the important role the Peacebuilding Commission can play by\n               including in its advice and recommendations for post-conflict peacebuilding\n               strategies, where appropriate, ways to address sexual violence committed during and\n               in the aftermath of armed conflict, and in ensuring consultation and effective\n               representation of women’s civil society in its country-specific configurations, as\n               part of its wider approach to gender issues;\n                     12. Urges the Secretary-General and his Special Envoys to invite women to\n               participate in discussions pertinent to the prevention and resolution of conflict, the\n               maintenance of peace and security, and post-conflict peacebuilding, and encourages\n               all parties to such talks to facilitate the equal and full participation of women at\n               decision-making levels;\n                     13. Urges all parties concerned, including Member States, United Nations\n               entities and financial institutions, to support the development and strengthening of\n               the capacities of national institutions, in particular of judicial and health systems,\n               and of local civil society networks in order to provide sustainable assistance to\n               victims of sexual violence in armed conflict and post-conflict situations;\n                    14. Urges appropriate regional and sub-regional bodies in particular to\n               consider developing and implementing policies, activities, and advocacy for the\n               benefit of women and girls affected by sexual violence in armed conflict;\n                     15. Also requests the Secretary-General to submit a report to the Council by\n               30 June 2009 on the implementation of this resolution in the context of situations\n               which are on the agenda of the Council, utilizing information from available United\n               Nations sources, including country teams, peacekeeping operations, and other\n               United Nations personnel, which would include, inter alia, information on situations\n               of armed conflict in which sexual violence has been widely or systematically\n               employed against civilians; analysis of the prevalence and trends of sexual violence\n               in situations of armed conflict; proposals for strategies to minimize the\n               susceptibility of women and girls to such violence; benchmarks for measuring\n               progress in preventing and addressing sexual violence; appropriate input from\n               United Nations implementing partners in the field; information on his plans for\n               facilitating the collection of timely, objective, accurate, and reliable information on\n               the use of sexual violence in situations of armed conflict, including through\n               improved coordination of UN activities on the ground and at Headquarters; and\n               information on actions taken by parties to armed conflict to implement their\n               responsibilities as described in this resolution, in particular by immediately and\n\n\n\n\n4                                                                                                        08-39144\n\n                                                                                              S/RES/1820 (2008)\n\n\n           completely ceasing all acts of sexual violence and in taking appropriate measures to\n           protect women and girls from all forms of sexual violence;\n                16.

          Reaffirming that international law, as reflected in the United Nations\n               Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 (“the Convention”), sets\n               out the

        supporting the surveillance and protection activities carried out by some member\n               States of the European Union off the coast of Somalia, and the ongoing planning\n

concept of\n               operations for a feasible United Nations peacekeeping operation,\n                    Emphasizing that peace and stability, the strengthening of State institutions,\n               economic and social development and respect for human rights and the rule of law\n               are necessary to create the conditions for a full eradication of piracy and armed\n               robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia,\n                     Determining that the incidents of piracy and armed robbery against vessels in\n               the territorial waters of Somalia and the

Calls upon States whose naval vessels and military aircraft operate on the\n               high seas and airspace off the coast of Somalia to use on the high seas and airspace\n               off the coast of Somalia the necessary means, in conformity with international law,\n               as reflected in the Convention, for the repression of acts of piracy;\n                     4.    Urges States that have the capacity to do so to cooperate with the TFG in\n               the fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea in conformity with the provisions\n               of resolution 1816 (2008);\n                    5.

Urges States, as requested in particular by International Maritime\n           Organization resolution (“IMO”) A-1002(25), to issue to ships entitled to fly their\n           flag, as necessary, advice and guidance on appropriate precautionary measures to\n           protect themselves from attack or actions to take if under attack or the threat of\n           attack when sailing in waters off the coast of Somalia;\n                7.    Calls upon States and regional organizations to coordinate their actions\n           pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 above;\n                 8.   Affirms that the provisions in this resolution apply only with respect to\n           the situation in Somalia and shall not affect the rights or obligations or\n           responsibilities of member States under international law, including any rights or\n           obligations under the Convention, with respect to any situation, and underscores in\n           particular that this resolution shall not be considered as establishing customary\n           international law;\n                 9.   Looks forward to the report of the Secretary-General requested in\n           paragraph 13 of resolution 1816 (2008) and expresses its intention to review the\n           situation with respect to piracy and armed robbery at sea against vessels off the\n           coast of Somalia with a view, in particular, upon the request of the TFG, to renewing\n           the authority provided in paragraph 7 of resolution 1816 (2008) for an additional\n           period;\n                10.

its resolution 1838 (2008) it commended the contribution\n               made by some States since November 2007 to protect (WFP) maritime convoys, and\n               the establishment by the

          rule of law are necessary to create the conditions for a full eradication of piracy and\n               armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia,\n                    Welcoming the

as their signing of a joint ceasefire agreement on\n               26 October 2008, noting that the Djibouti Agreement calls for the United Nations to\n               authorize and deploy an international stabilization force, and further noting the\n               Secretary-General’s report on Somalia of 17 November 2008, including his\n               recommendations in this regard,\n

       international community has the proper authorities and tools at its disposal to assist\n               it in these efforts,\n                     Determining that the incidents of piracy and armed robbery against vessels in\n               the territorial waters of Somalia and the high seas off the coast of Somalia\n               exacerbate the situation in Somalia which continues to constitute a threat to\n               international peace and security in the region,\n                    Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                    1.

Expresses its concern over the finding contained in the 20 November\n           2008 report of the Monitoring Group on Somalia that escalating ransom payments\n           are fuelling the growth of piracy off the coast of Somalia;\n                 3.   Welcomes the efforts of the International Maritime Organization (“IMO”)\n           to update its guidance and recommendations to the shipping industry and to\n           Governments for preventing and suppressing piracy and armed robbery at sea and to\n           provide this guidance as soon as practicable to all Member States and to the\n           international shipping community operating off the coast of Somalia;\n                4.

Further calls upon States and interested organizations, including the\n           IMO, to provide technical assistance to Somalia and nearby coastal States upon their\n           request to enhance the capacity of these States to ensure coastal and maritime\n           security, including combating piracy and armed robbery at sea off the Somali and\n           nearby coastlines;\n                 6.   Welcomes initiatives by Canada, Denmark, France, India, the\n           Netherlands, the Russian Federation, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States\n           of America, and by regional and international organizations to counter piracy off the\n           coast of Somalia pursuant to resolutions 1814 (2008), 1816 (2008) and 1838 (2008),\n           the decision by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to counter piracy off\n           the Somalia coast, including by escorting vessels of the WFP, and in particular the\n           decision by the EU on 10 November 2008 to launch, for a period of 12 months from\n           December 2008, a naval operation to protect WFP maritime convoys bringing\n           humanitarian assistance to Somalia and other vulnerable ships, and to repress acts of\n           piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia;\n                 7.    Calls upon States and regional organizations to coordinate, including by\n           sharing information through bilateral channels or the United Nations, their efforts to\n           deter acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia in cooperation\n           with each other, the IMO, the international shipping community, flag States, and the\n           TFG;\n                 8.    Requests the Secretary-General to present to it a report, no later than\n           three months after the adoption of this resolution, on ways to ensure the long-term\n           security of international navigation off the coast of Somalia, including the long-term\n           security of WFP maritime deliveries to Somalia and a possible coordination and\n           leadership role for the United Nations in this regard to rally Member States and\n           regional organizations to counter piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of\n           Somalia;\n                 9.

Requests that cooperating States take appropriate steps to ensure that the\n               activities they undertake pursuant to the authorization in paragraph 10 do not have\n               the practical effect of denying or impairing the right of innocent passage to the ships\n               of any third State;\n                     14. Calls upon all States, and in particular flag, port and coastal States,\n               States of the nationality of victims and perpetrators of piracy and armed robbery,\n               and other States with relevant jurisdiction under international law and national\n               legislation, to cooperate in determining jurisdiction, and in the investigation and\n               prosecution of persons responsible for acts of piracy and armed robbery off the\n               coast of Somalia, consistent with applicable international law including\n               international human rights law, and to render assistance by, among other actions,\n               providing disposition and logistics assistance with respect to persons under their\n               jurisdiction and control, such victims and witnesses and persons detained as a result\n               of operations conducted under this resolution;\n                     15.

especially resolutions 1814 (2008), 1816 (2008), 1838 (2008), 1844 (2008), and\n               1846 (2008),\n                     Continuing to be gravely concerned by the dramatic increase in the incidents\n               of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia in the last six months,\n               and by the threat that piracy and armed robbery at sea against vessels pose to the\n               prompt, safe and effective delivery of humanitarian aid to Somalia, and noting that\n               pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia have become more sophisticated and daring\n               and have expanded in their geographic scope, notably evidenced by the hijacking of\n               the M/V Sirius Star 500 nautical miles off the coast of Kenya and subsequent\n               unsuccessful attempts well east of Tanzania,\n                    Reaffirming its respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political\n               independence and unity of Somalia, including Somalia’s rights with respect to\n               offshore natural resources, including fisheries, in accordance with international law,\n                     Further reaffirming that international law, as reflected in the United Nations\n               Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 (UNCLOS), sets out the\n               legal framework applicable to combating piracy and armed robbery at sea, as well as\n               other ocean activities,\n                     Again taking into account the crisis situation in Somalia, and the lack of\n               capacity of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) to interdict, or upon\n               interdiction to prosecute pirates or to patrol and secure the waters off the coast of\n               Somalia, including the international sea lanes and Somalia’s territorial waters,\n                     Noting the several requests from the TFG for international assistance to\n               counter piracy off its coast, including the letter of 9 December 2008 from the\n               President of Somalia requesting the international community to assist the TFG in\n               taking all necessary measures to interdict those who use Somali territory and\n               airspace to plan, facilitate or undertake acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea, and\n               the 1 September 2008 letter from the President of Somalia to the Secretary-General\n               of the UN expressing the appreciation of the TFG to the Security Council for its\n               assistance and expressing the TFG’s willingness to consider working with other\n\n08-65501 (E)\n*0865501*\n\nS/RES/1851 (2008)\n\n\n               States and regional organizations to combat piracy

protect vulnerable ships bound for Somalia, as well as the\n               efforts by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and other States acting in a\n               national capacity in cooperation with the TFG to suppress piracy off the coast of\n               Somalia,\n                     Also welcoming the recent initiatives of the Governments of Egypt, Kenya, and\n               the Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Somalia, and the United Nations\n               Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to achieve effective measures to remedy the\n               causes, capabilities, and incidents of piracy and armed robbery off the coast of\n               Somalia, and emphasizing the need for current and future counter-piracy operations\n               to effectively coordinate their activities,\n                     Noting with concern that the lack of capacity, domestic legislation, and clarity\n               about how to dispose of pirates after their capture, has hindered more robust\n               international action against the pirates off the coast of Somalia and in some cases\n               led to pirates being released without facing justice, and reiterating that the 1988\n               Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Maritime\n               Navigation (“SUA Convention”) provides for parties to create criminal offences,\n               establish jurisdiction, and accept delivery of persons responsible for or suspected of\n               seizing or exercising control over a ship by force or threat thereof or any other form\n               of intimidation,\n                     Welcoming the report of the Monitoring Group on Somalia of 20 November\n               2008 (S/2008/769), and noting the role piracy may play in financing embargo\n               violations by armed groups,\n                     Determining that the incidents of piracy and armed robbery at sea in the waters\n               off the coast of Somalia exacerbate the situation in Somalia which continues to\n               constitute a threat to international peace and security in the region,\n                    Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                    1.   Reiterates that it condemns and deplores all acts of piracy and armed\n               robbery against vessels in waters off the coast of Somalia;\n                     2.    Calls upon States, regional and international organizations that have the\n               capacity to do so, to take part actively in the fight against piracy and armed robbery\n               at sea off the coast of Somalia, in particular, consistent with this resolution,\n               resolution 1846 (2008), and international law, by deploying naval vessels and\n               military aircraft and through seizure and disposition of boats, vessels, arms and\n               other related equipment used in the commission of piracy and armed robbery at sea\n               off the coast of Somalia, or for which there are reasonable grounds for suspecting\n               such use;\n                    3.    Invites all States and regional organizations fighting piracy off the coast\n               of Somalia to conclude special agreements or arrangements with countries willing to\n               take custody of pirates in order to embark law enforcement officials (“shipriders”)\n               from the latter countries, in particular countries in the region, to facilitate the\n               investigation and prosecution of persons detained as a result of operations\n               conducted under this resolution for acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the\n               coast of Somalia, provided that the advance consent of the TFG is obtained for the\n\n\n2                                                                                                       08-65501\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/1851 (2008)\n\n\n           exercise of third state jurisdiction by shipriders in Somali territorial waters and that\n           such agreements or arrangements do not prejudice the effective implementation of\n           the SUA Convention;\n                 4.    Encourages all States and regional organizations fighting piracy and\n           armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia to establish an international\n           cooperation mechanism to act as a common point of contact between and among\n           states, regional and international organizations on all aspects of combating piracy\n           and armed robbery at sea off Somalia’s coast; and recalls that future\n           recommendations on ways to ensure the long-term security of international\n           navigation off the coast of Somalia, including the long-term security of WFP\n           maritime deliveries to Somalia and a possible coordination and leadership role for\n           the United Nations in this regard to rally Member States and regional organizations\n           to counter piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia are to be\n           detailed in a report by the Secretary-General no later than three months after the\n           adoption of resolution 1846;\n                5.    Further encourages all states and regional organizations fighting piracy\n           and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia to consider creating a centre in the\n           region to coordinate information relevant to piracy and armed robbery at sea off the\n           coast of Somalia, to increase regional capacity with assistance of UNODC to\n           arrange effective shiprider agreements or arrangements consistent with UNCLOS\n           and to implement the SUA Convention, the United Nations Convention against\n           Transnational Organized Crime and other relevant instruments to which States in the\n           region are party, in order to effectively investigate and prosecute piracy and armed\n           robbery at sea offences;\n                 6.   In response to the letter from the TFG of 9 December 2008, encourages\n           Member States to continue to cooperate with the TFG in the fight against piracy and\n           armed robbery at sea, notes the primary role of the TFG in rooting out piracy and\n           armed robbery at sea, and decides that for a period of twelve months from the date\n           of adoption of resolution 1846, States and regional organizations cooperating in the\n           fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia for which\n           advance notification has been provided by the TFG to the Secretary-General may\n           undertake all necessary measures that are appropriate in Somalia, for the purpose of\n           suppressing acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea, pursuant to the request of the\n           TFG, provided, however, that any measures undertaken pursuant to the authority of\n           this paragraph shall be undertaken consistent with applicable international\n           humanitarian and human rights law;\n                 7.    Calls on Member States to assist the TFG, at its request and with\n           notification to the Secretary-General, to strengthen its operational capacity to bring\n           to justice those who are using Somali territory to plan, facilitate or undertake\n           criminal acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea, and stresses that any measures\n           undertaken pursuant to this paragraph shall be consistent with applicable\n           international human rights law;\n                8.

Affirms that the authorization provided in this resolution apply only with\n               respect to the situation in Somalia and shall not affect the rights or obligations or\n               responsibilities of Member States under international law, including any rights or\n               obligations under UNCLOS, with respect to any other situation, and underscores in\n               particular that this resolution shall not be considered as establishing customary\n               international law, and affirms further that such authorizations have been provided\n               only following the receipt of the 9 December 2008 letter conveying the consent of\n               the TFG;\n                     11. Affirms that the measures imposed by paragraph 5 of resolution 733\n               (1992) and further elaborated upon by paragraphs 1 and 2 or resolution 1425 (2002)\n               shall not apply to weapons and military equipment destined for the sole use of\n               Member States and regional organizations undertaking measures in accordance with\n               paragraph 6 above;\n                    12. Urges States in collaboration with the shipping and insurance industries,\n               and the IMO to continue to develop avoidance, evasion, and defensive best practices\n               and advisories to take when under attack or when sailing in waters off the coast of\n               Somalia, and further urges States to make their citizens and vessels available for\n               forensic investigation as appropriate at the first port of call immediately following\n               an act or attempted act of piracy or armed robbery at sea or release from captivity;\n                    13.

illicit trade in such resources and the proliferation and trafficking of arms as one of\n               the major factors fuelling and exacerbating conflicts in the Great Lakes region of\n               Africa, and in particular in the Democratic Republic of the Congo,\n                     Expressing its extreme concern at the deteriorating humanitarian and human\n               rights situation,

           existing in Iraq is significantly different from that which existed at the time of the\n               adoption of resolution 661 (1990), and further recognizing the importance of Iraq\n

to complete this process,\n                     Recognizing the significant role of the Development Fund for Iraq and the\n               International Advisory and Monitoring Board, and the provisions of paragraph 22 of\n               resolution 1483 (2003) in helping the Government of Iraq to ensure that Iraq’s\n               resources are being used transparently and accountably for

August 2005 and other relevant resolutions\n           and international conventions with respect, inter alia, to terrorist activities in and\n           from Iraq or against its citizens,\n

Decides further that the provisions in the above paragraph for the deposit\n           of proceeds into the Development Fund for Iraq and for the role of the International\n           Advisory and Monitoring Board and the provisions of paragraph 22 of resolution\n           1483 (2003) shall be reviewed at the request of the Government of Iraq or no later\n           than 15 June 2009;\n                 3.   Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Council on a quarterly\n           basis, with the first briefing no later than 31 March 2009 and with a written report\n           on a semi-annual basis, on the activities of the Development Fund for Iraq and the\n           International Advisory and Monitoring Board, including on progress made in\n           strengthening financial and administrative oversight of the Development Fund for\n           Iraq;\n                 4.

Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.\n\n\n\n\n08-66605                                                                                                       3\n\nS/RES/1859 (2008)\n\n\n               Annex\n               Letter dated 7 December 2008 from the Prime Minister of Iraq addressed to the\n               President of the Security Council\n                     Further to our letter dated 31 December 2007 addressed to you, in which we\n               indicated that the extension of the mandate of the Multinational Forces in Iraq\n               (MNF I) would be for one final time; with appreciation for the important role and\n               efforts of those forces in assisting Iraq to achieve security and stability; and in view\n               of the fact that Iraq has signed the Agreement between the United States of America\n               and the Republic of Iraq on the Withdrawal of United States Forces from Iraq and\n               the Organization of their Activities during their Temporary Presence in Iraq, we look\n               forward to the ending of the mandate of MNF-I at the end of 31 December 2008. On\n               behalf of the Government and people of Iraq, I express my gratitude to the\n               Governments of the States that have contributed to those forces and to the forces\n               themselves for the services rendered during their presence in the territory, waters\n               and airspace of Iraq.\n                     Iraq has inherited debts and claims from the previous regime and has made\n               great progress in settling them. However, much remains to be done, and our efforts\n               to settle those claims and debts will require some time. Temporary support from the\n               international community will continue to be required during the coming phase.\n               Therefore, we hope that the international community will continue current\n               protections and arrangements for petroleum, petroleum products, and natural gas\n               from Iraq and the proceeds thereof until such time as the Government of Iraq is able\n               to take the measures necessary to settle those debts and claims inherited from the\n               previous regime. Oil revenues constitute 95 per cent of Government resources, and\n               these claims have an impact on reconstruction and the economic transformations\n               taking place in Iraq, and consequently pose a grave threat to Iraq’s stability and\n               security and by extension to international peace and security.\n                     The Iraqi Government recognizes the importance of the provisions of\n               paragraph 22 of United Nations Security Council resolution 1483 (2003) ensuring\n               that Iraq’s petroleum and natural gas resources and proceeds and obligations arising\n               from sales thereof, as well as funds deposited in the Development Fund for Iraq,\n               shall be used for reconstruction projects and other purposes benefiting the people of\n               Iraq. Therefore, bearing in mind the exception provided for in paragraph 27 of\n               United Nations Security Council resolution 1546 (2004), Iraq requests that the\n               Security Council continue to implement the provisions of paragraph 22 of United\n               Nations Security Council resolution 1483 (2003) until 31 December 2009, including\n               those relating to funds or other financial assets or economic resources mentioned in\n               paragraph 23 of that resolution.\n                     The Government of Iraq believes that the provisions of United Nations\n               Security Council resolution 1546 (2004) relating to the deposit of proceeds into the\n               Development Fund for Iraq will help to ensure that proceeds from Iraq’s natural\n               resources will be used for the benefit of the Iraqi people, as will the role played by\n               the International Advisory and Monitoring Board. The Iraqi Government recognizes\n               that the Development Fund for Iraq plays an important role in helping Iraq to\n               reassure donors and creditors that Iraq is administering its resources and debts in a\n               responsible manner in the service of the Iraqi people. It should be noted that Iraq is\n               attempting, after years of isolation under the previous regime, to form a new\n               partnership with the international community with a view to integrating its economy\n\n\n\n4                                                                                                         08-66605\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/1859 (2008)\n\n\n           into those of the region and the world through the International Compact with Iraq,\n           and its efforts were endorsed by more than 90 countries and international\n           organizations in the Stockholm Declaration of 29 May 2008. In view of this, Iraq\n           requests the Security Council to extend the mandates of the Development Fund for\n           Iraq and the International Advisory and Monitoring Board for a period of\n           12 months, with a review of the extension to be conducted before 15 June 2009 at\n           the request of the Government of Iraq.\n                 The Government of Iraq affirms that it honours its obligations under United\n           Nations Security Council resolutions and follows policies of peaceful coexistence\n           with its neighbours conducive to the security and stability of the region. The\n           Government of Iraq looks forward to recognition by the United Nations Security\n           Council that major positive developments have taken place in Iraq; that the situation\n           in Iraq is fundamentally different from that prevailing at the time of the adoption of\n           United Nations Security Council resolution 661 (1990); and that the time has come\n           for Iraq to regain its legal and international status prevailing prior to the adoption by\n           the Security Council of that resolution and the subsequent sanctions imposed on it\n           under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations.\n                 The Government of Iraq requests that the Security Council include this letter\n           as an annex to the resolution currently being drafted on Iraq, and should be grateful\n           if the President of the Security Council would circulate it to the Members of the\n           Security Council as soon as possible.\n\n                                                                 (Signed) Nuri Kamel al-Maliki\n                                                           Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq\n                                                                               7 December 2008\n\n\n\n\n08-66605                                                                                                          5\n", "text_length": 17787, "title": "Security Council resolution 1859 (2008) [on extension of the arrangements for the depositing into the Development Fund for Iraq of proceeds from export sales of petroleum, petroleum products and natural gas]", "agenda_information": "S/63 [119] IRAQ SITUATION", "subjects": "Development Fund for Iraq|Development Fund for Iraq.

the Secretary-General of\n               12 December 2008 (S/2008/837), which recognises UNMIN’s contribution and\n               requests an extension of UNMIN at a smaller scale to carry out the remainder of the\n               mandate for six months, and further taking note of the intention of the Government\n               of Nepal with regard to termination of UNMIN’s monitoring requirements by the\n               end of this six month period,\n                    Recognizing the need to pay special attention to the needs of women, children\n               and traditionally marginalized groups in the peace process, as mentioned in the\n               Comprehensive Peace Agreement and resolution 1325 (2000),\n                     Recognizing that civil society can play an important role in democratic\n               transition and conflict prevention,\n                     Expressing appreciation for the contribution of the Secretary-General’s\n               Special Representative and the efforts of his team in UNMIN, and the United\n               Nations Country Team, including the Office of the High Commissioner for Human\n               Rights which is monitoring human rights at the request of the government, and\n               stressing the need for coordination and complementarity of efforts between the\n               mission and all the United Nations actors in the mission area, particularly in order to\n               ensure continuity, as the mandate comes to an end,\n                     1.   Decides in line with the request from the Government of Nepal and the\n               Secretary-General’s recommendations, to renew the mandate of UNMIN as\n               established under resolution 1740 (2007) until 23 July 2009, taking into account the\n               completion of some elements of the mandate, the ongoing work on the monitoring\n               and the management of arms and armed personnel in line with the 25 June\n\n\n\n\n2                                                                                                        09-21771\n\n                                                                                               S/RES/1864 (2009)\n\n\n           Agreement among the political parties, which will support the completion of the\n           peace process;\n                 2.   Calls upon all parties to take full advantage of the expertise and\n           readiness of UNMIN, within its mandate, to support the peace process to facilitate\n           the completion of outstanding aspects of UNMIN’s mandate;\n                3.   Concurs with the Secretary-General’s view that the current monitoring\n           arrangements cannot be maintained indefinitely, and underlines the need for the\n           Government of Nepal to consider necessary measures to reduce UNMIN’s\n           monitoring requirements;\n                4.    Endorses the Secretary-General’s recommendations for a phased,\n           gradual, drawdown and withdrawal of UNMIN staff, including arms monitors, as\n           proposed in paragraph 62 and 63 of the Report of the Secretary-General;\n                  5.   Requests the Secretary-General to keep the Security Council informed of\n           progress towards implementation of this resolution and to submit a report on this\n           and the implications for UNMIN, with a view to further downsizing of UNMIN, no\n           later than 30 April 2009;\n                 6.   Calls upon the Government of Nepal to continue to take the necessary\n           decisions to create conditions conducive to completion of UNMIN’s activities by the\n           end of the current mandate, including through implementation of the 25 June\n           Agreement, in order to facilitate UNMIN’s withdrawal from Nepal;\n                7.    Welcomes progress achieved so far, and calls upon all political parties in\n           Nepal to expedite the peace process, and to continue to work together in a spirit of\n           cooperation, consensus and compromise in order to continue the transition to a\n           durable long-term solution to enable the country to move to a peaceful, democratic\n           and more prosperous future;\n                 8.   Requests the parties in Nepal to take the necessary steps to promote the\n           safety, security and freedom of movement of UNMIN and associated personnel in\n           executing the tasks defined in the mandate;\n                9.    Decides to remain seized of the matter.\n\n\n\n\n09-21771                                                                                                      3\n", "text_length": 9511, "title": "Security Council resolution 1864 (2009) [on renewal of the mandate of the UN Mission in Nepal (UNMIN)]", "agenda_information": "S/64 [169] NEPAL--POLITICAL CONDITIONS\nS/64 [170] UN POLITICAL MISSION IN NEPAL", "subjects": "UN Political Mission in Nepal|Comprehensive Peace Agreement between the Government of Nepal and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (2006)|POLITICAL CONDITIONS|PEACEBUILDING|SPECIAL MISSIONS|NEPAL|WEAPONS TRACING|WEAPONS SURRENDER|STAFF SECURITY|FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT", "vote_yes": 15, "vote_no": 0, "vote_abstention": 0, "vote_total": 15, "is_unanimous": true, "voting_countries": [{"country": "AUSTRIA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "BURKINA FASO", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "CHINA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "COSTA RICA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "CROATIA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "FRANCE", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "JAPAN", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "LIBYAN ARAB JAMAHIRIYA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "MEXICO", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "RUSSIAN FEDERATION", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "TURKEY", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "UGANDA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "UNITED KINGDOM", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "UNITED STATES", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "VIET NAM", "vote": "yes"}], "has_veto": false, "vetoed_by": [], "p5_abstentions": 0, "chapter6": false, "chapter7": false, "chapter8": false, "peace_threat": false, "peace_breach": false, "aggression": false, "self_defence": false, "human_rights": true, "enforcement_level": "none", "m49_region": "Asia", "m49_region_sub": "Southern Asia", "iso_alpha3": "NPL", "iso_name": "Nepal", "cited_resolutions": ["1612", "1864", "1740", "1325"], "pdf_url_en": null, "meeting_record_url": null, "unified_id": 2061}

and expressed its deep concern about a possible third consecutive delay of the\n               presidential elections since the signature of the Ouagadougou political Agreement,\n                     Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial\n               integrity and unity of Côte d’Ivoire, and recalling the importance of the principles of\n

situation, the persistence of cases of human rights violations against\n               civilians in different parts of the country, including numerous acts of sexual\n               violence, stressing that the perpetrators must be brought to justice, and reiterating\n               its firm condemnation of all violations of human rights and international\n               humanitarian law in Côte d’Ivoire,\n                    Recalling its resolution 1612 (2005) on children and armed conflict and the\n               subsequent conclusions of the Security Council Working Group on

and security and the need to increase their role in\n               decision-making with regard to conflict prevention and resolution, and encouraging\n               the Secretary-General to mainstream a gender perspective in the implementation of\n               the mandate of the United Nations Operation in Côte d’Ivoire (“UNOCI”),\n                    Emphasizing the importance of the

bodies to organize the electoral\n               process,\n                     Determining that the situation in Côte d’Ivoire continues to pose a threat to\n               international peace and

Takes note with deep concern that the presidential election scheduled for\n               the 30 November 2008 has been postponed, pursuant to the communiqué of the\n               10 November 2008 of the permanent consultative framework established by the\n               Ouagadougou political Agreement (S/2008/694);\n                     3.    Urges the Ivorian political actors to find without delay an agreement on a\n               new and realistic time frame leading quickly to free, open, fair and transparent\n               elections, recalls that this time frame should elaborate some key stages such as the\n               publication of the provisional and final versions of the electoral list, the fabrication\n               and distribution of the identity and voter’s cards and the date of the presidential\n               elections, and urges again the President of the Independent Electoral Commission to\n\n\n2                                                                                                         09-22201\n\n                                                                                               S/RES/1865 (2009)\n\n\n           share publicly such a timeline, as requested in the statement of President of the\n           Security Council dated 7 November 2008 (S/PRST/2008/42) and pursuant to the\n           communiqué of the permanent consultative framework mentioned in paragraph 2\n           above;\n                 4.

Stresses the importance of an inclusive participation of the Ivorian civil\n               society in the electoral process, and of ensuring the equal protection of and respect\n               for human rights of every Ivorian as they relate to the electoral system, and in\n               particular of removing obstacles and challenges to women’s participation and full\n               involvement in public life;\n                    14. Urges the signatories of the Ouagadougou political Agreement to take the\n               necessary steps to protect vulnerable civilian populations, including by guaranteeing\n               the voluntary return, reinstallation, reintegration and security of displaced persons,\n               with the support of the United Nations system, and to fulfil in this regard their\n               commitments in accordance with the Ouagadougou political Agreement and their\n               obligations under international humanitarian law;\n\n                    (“Renewing the mandate the United Nations Operation in Côte d’Ivoire and\n               the French forces which support it”)\n                     15.

Welcomes the continuing organized return of internally displaced persons\n           and refugees to the Three Areas and southern Sudan, and encourages the promotion\n           of efforts, including the provision of necessary resources to the Office of the United\n           Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and implementing partners, to ensure that\n           such returns are voluntary and sustainable; and requests UNMIS, within its current\n           mandate, capabilities and areas of deployment, to coordinate with partners to\n           facilitate sustainable returns, including by helping to establish and maintain the\n           necessary security conditions;\n                24.

the decision by the Government\n               of Nepal and the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) formally to launch the\n               discharge and rehabilitation process for the disqualified Maoist army personnel,\n               including minors, and calling upon all political parties to implement this process\n               fully and expeditiously, and for continued

elections, some of the elements of the mandate of UNMIN as set out in resolution\n               1740 (2007) have already been accomplished,\n                    Welcoming the action plan which the Government of Nepal has committed to\n               prepare, the implementation of which will facilitate UNMIN’s withdrawal from\n               Nepal,\n                     Taking note of the Government of Nepal’s letter to the Secretary-General of\n               7 July 2009 (S/2009/360), which recognises UNMIN’s contribution and requests an\n               extension of the mandate of UNMIN for six months, and further taking note of the\n               commitments of the Government of Nepal to reconstitute the Special Committee\n               strengthened with the support of the Ministry of Peace and Reconstruction, and also\n               for beginning the process of integration and rehabilitation of Maoist army personnel,\n                    Recognizing the need to pay special attention to the needs and the role of\n               women, children and traditionally marginalized groups in the peace process, as\n               mentioned in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and resolution 1325 (2000),\n                     Recognizing the need to address impunity and to promote and protect human\n               rights through building the capacity of independent national institutions,\n                     Recognizing that civil society can play an important role in democratic\n               transition and conflict prevention,\n                    Expressing appreciation for the contribution of the Secretary-General’s\n               Representative and the efforts of her team in UNMIN, and the United Nations\n               Country Team, including the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights\n               which is monitoring human rights at the request of the government, and stressing the\n               need for coordination and complementarity of efforts between the mission and all\n               the United Nations actors in the mission area, particularly in order to ensure\n               continuity, as the mandate comes to an end,\n\n\n2                                                                                                       09-42142\n\n

Decides in line with the request from the Government of Nepal and the\n           Secretary-General’s recommendations, to renew the mandate of UNMIN as\n           established under resolution 1740 (2007) until 23 January 2010, taking into account\n           the completion of some elements of the mandate, the ongoing work on the\n           monitoring and the management of arms and armed personnel in line with the\n           25 June Agreement 2008 among the political parties, which will support the\n           completion of the peace process;\n                 2.   Calls upon all parties to take full advantage of the expertise and\n           readiness of UNMIN, within its mandate, to support the peace process to facilitate\n           the completion of outstanding aspects of UNMIN’s mandate by 23 January 2010;\n                 3.   Concurs with the Secretary-General’s view that the current monitoring\n           arrangements were conceived as temporary measures, rather than long-term\n           solutions, and cannot be maintained indefinitely, and underlines the need for the\n           Government of Nepal to consider necessary measures to end the present monitoring\n           arrangements;\n                4.    Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Security Council by\n           30 October 2009 on the implementation of this resolution, and progress in creating\n           the conditions conducive to completion of UNMIN’s activities by the end of the\n           current mandate, including the implementation of commitments made in the\n           Government of Nepal’s letter of 7 July 2009;\n                 5.   Calls upon the Government of Nepal to continue to take the necessary\n           decisions to create conditions conducive to completion of UNMIN’s activities by the\n           end of the current mandate, including through implementation of the 25 June 2008\n           Agreement, in order to facilitate UNMIN’s withdrawal from Nepal;\n                 6.   Welcomes progress achieved so far, and calls upon all political parties in\n           Nepal to expedite the peace process, and to work together in a spirit of cooperation,\n           consensus and compromise in order to continue the transition to a durable long-term\n           solution to enable the country to move to a peaceful, democratic and more\n           prosperous future;\n                 7.   Requests the parties in Nepal to take the necessary steps to promote the\n           safety, security and freedom of movement of UNMIN and associated personnel in\n           executing the tasks defined in the mandate;\n                8.

Reiterates its determination to bring its full support to a credible\n               electoral process for the presidential and legislative elections in Côte d’Ivoire and\n               expresses its conviction that any postponement of the presidential elections of\n               29 November 2009 would be inconsistent with a credible process and with the\n               Ouagadougou Political Agreement as endorsed by the Security Council;\n                    3.    Welcomes the successful completion of registration of voters;\n                    4.

Demands that all parties to the conflict in Darfur immediately end\n           violence, attacks on civilians, peacekeepers and humanitarian personnel, and\n           comply with their obligations under human rights and international humanitarian\n           law; calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities and for all parties to commit\n           themselves to a sustained and permanent ceasefire; requests the Secretary-General\n           to consult with relevant parties with a view to developing a more effective ceasefire\n           monitoring mechanism; and underlines the need for UNAMID to report on major\n           instances of violence which undermines the parties’ full and constructive efforts\n           towards peace;\n                 8.    Reiterates there can be no military solution to the conflict in Darfur and\n           that an inclusive political settlement and the successful deployment of UNAMID are\n           essential to re-establishing peace; reaffirms its full support for the African\n           Union/United Nations led political process for Darfur and the work of Joint Chief\n           Mediator Mr. Djibrill Yipènè Bassolé; demands that all parties to the conflict,\n           including all rebel groups, immediately engage fully and constructively in the peace\n           process without preconditions, including by entering into talks under the mediation\n           of Mr. Bassolé with a view to finalizing a Framework Agreement; welcomes the\n           work of Qatar and Libya in this regard and the support of other countries in the\n           region; calls on UNAMID to support the Joint Chief Mediator and the Joint\n           Mediation Team; and underlines the need for the engagement of civil society,\n           including women and women-led organizations, community groups and tribal\n           leaders in order to create a conducive environment for peace and security through\n           constructive and open dialogue;\n                 9.   Calls on Sudan and Chad to abide by their obligations under the Doha\n           Agreement of 3 May 2009, the Dakar Agreement of 13 March 2008, and previous\n           bilateral agreements; and reaffirms the need for both countries to engage\n           constructively with the Dakar Contact Group with a view to normalizing relations,\n           ceasing support for armed groups, strengthening actions to combat armed trafficking\n           in the region, the establishment of effective joint border monitoring, and\n           cooperating through diplomatic means to establish peace and stability in Darfur and\n           the wider region;\n                10. Notes that conflict in one area of Sudan affects other areas of Sudan and\n           the wider region; and urges UNAMID to coordinate closely with other United\n           Nations missions in the region, including the United Nations Mission in Sudan\n           (UNMIS) and the United Nations Mission in the Central African Republic and Chad\n           (MINURCAT);\n\n\n\n\n09-43393                                                                                                       3\n\nS/RES/1881 (2009)\n\n\n                     11. Requests UNAMID, consistent with its current capabilities and mandate,\n               to assist and complement UNMIS efforts in preparing for credible national elections\n               through the provision of advice and assistance where required;\n                     12.

August 2000, 1379 (2001) of 20 November 2001, 1460 (2003) of 30 January\n               2003, 1539 (2004) of 22 April 2004, and 1612 (2005) of 26 July 2005, and the\n               Statements of its

(S/PRST/2009/9), which contribute to a\n               comprehensive framework for addressing the protection of children affected by\n               armed conflict,\n                     Acknowledging that the implementation of its resolution 1612 (2005) has\n               generated progress, resulting in the release and reintegration of children into their\n               families and communities and in a more systematic dialogue between the United\n               Nations country-level task forces and parties to the armed conflict on the\n               implementation of time-bound action plans, while remaining deeply concerned over\n               the lack of progress on the ground in some situations of concern, where parties to\n               conflict continue to violate with impunity the relevant provisions of applicable\n               international law relating to the rights and protection of children in armed conflict,\n                     Stressing the primary role of national Governments in providing protection and\n               relief to all children affected by armed conflicts,\n                    Reiterating that all actions undertaken by United Nations

against humanity, war crimes and other egregious\n               crimes perpetrated against children,\n                    Welcoming the fact that several individuals who are alleged to have committed\n               crimes against children in situations of armed conflict have been brought to justice\n               by national justice systems and international justice mechanisms and

an\n               important aspect of any comprehensive strategy to resolve conflict,\n                     Calling on all parties to armed conflicts to comply strictly with the obligations\n               applicable to them under international law for the protection of children in armed\n               conflict, including those contained in the Convention on the Rights of the Child and\n               its Optional Protocol on the involvement of Children in Armed Conflict, as well as\n               the Geneva Conventions of 12th August 1949 and their Additional Protocols of\n               1977,\n                    Reiterating its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international\n               peace and security and, in this connection, its commitment to address the\n               widespread impact of armed conflict on children,\n                     Stressing its determination to ensure respect for its resolutions and other\n               international obligations and applicable norms on the protection of children affected\n               by armed conflict,\n                     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 26 March 2009\n               (S/2009/158) and stressing that the present resolution does not seek to make any\n               legal determination as to whether situations which are referred to in the Secretary-General’s report are or are not armed conflicts within the context of the Geneva\n               Conventions and the Additional Protocols thereto, nor does it prejudge the legal\n               status of the non-State parties involved in these situations,\n                     Deeply concerned that children continue to account for a considerable number\n               of casualties resulting from killing and maiming in armed conflicts including as a\n               result of deliberate targeting, indiscriminate and excessive use of force,\n               indiscriminate use of landmines, cluster munitions and other weapons and use of\n               children as human shields and equally deeply concerned about the high incidence\n               and appalling levels of brutality of rape and other forms of sexual violence\n               committed against children, in the context of and associated with armed conflict\n               including the use or commissioning of rape and other forms of sexual violence in\n               some situations as a tactic of war,\n                     1.   Strongly condemns all violations of applicable international law\n               involving the recruitment and use of children by parties to armed conflict as well as\n               their re-recruitment, killing and maiming, rape and other sexual violence,\n               abductions, attacks against schools or hospitals and denial of humanitarian access by\n               parties to armed conflict and all other violations of international law committed\n               against children in situations of armed conflict;\n                    2.   Reaffirms that the monitoring and reporting mechanism will continue to\n               be implemented in situations listed in the annexes to the reports of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict in line with the principles set out in\n               paragraph 2 of its resolution 1612 (2005) and that its establishment and\n               implementation shall not prejudge or imply a decision by the Security Council as to\n               whether or not to include a situation on its agenda;\n                    3.    Recalls paragraph 16 of its resolution 1379 (2001) and requests the\n               Secretary-General also to include in the annexes to his reports on children and\n               armed conflict those parties to armed conflict that engage, in contravention of\n               applicable international law, in patterns of killing and maiming of children and/or\n               rape and other sexual violence against children, in situations of armed conflict,\n\n\n\n2                                                                                                        09-44214\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/1882 (2009)\n\n\n           bearing in mind all other violations and abuses against children, and notes that the\n           present paragraph will apply to situations in accordance with the conditions set out\n           in paragraph 16 of its resolution 1379 (2001);\n                 4.   Invites the Secretary-General through his Special Representative for\n           Children and Armed Conflict to exchange appropriate information and maintain\n           interaction from the earliest opportunity with the governments concerned regarding\n           violations and abuses committed against children by parties which may be included\n           in the annexes to his periodic report;\n                 5.

of sexual violence in situations of\n                armed conflict, and despite its calls addressed to all parties to armed conflict for the\n                cessation of such acts with immediate effect, such acts continue to occur, and in\n                some situations have become systematic or widespread,\n                     Recalling the commitments of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action\n                (A/52/231) as well as those contained in the outcome document of the twenty-third\n                Special Session of the United Nations General Assembly entitled “Women 2000:\n                Gender Equality, Development and Peace for the Twenty-First Century”\n                (A/S-23/10/Rev.1), in particular those concerning women and armed conflict,\n                      Reaffirming the obligations of States Parties to the Convention on the\n                Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Optional Protocol\n                thereto, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Optional Protocols\n                thereto, and urging states that have not yet done so to consider ratifying or acceding\n                to them,\n                     Recalling that international humanitarian law affords general protection to\n                women and children as part of the civilian population during armed conflicts and\n                special protection due to the fact that they can be placed particularly at risk,\n\n\n\n\n            * Reissued for technical reasons on 22 June 2010.\n\n\n09-53446* (E)\n*0953446*\n\nS/RES/1888 (2009)\n\n\n                     Recalling the responsibilities of States to end impunity and to prosecute those\n               responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and other egregious\n               crimes perpetrated against civilians, and in this regard, noting with concern that\n               only limited numbers of perpetrators of sexual violence have been brought to\n               justice, while recognizing that in conflict and in post conflict situations national\n               justice systems may be significantly weakened,\n                     Reaffirming that ending impunity is essential if a society in conflict or\n               recovering from conflict is to come to terms with past abuses committed against\n               civilians affected by armed conflict and to prevent future such abuses, drawing\n               attention to the full range of justice and reconciliation mechanisms to be considered,\n               including national, international and “mixed” criminal courts and tribunals and truth\n               and reconciliation commissions, and noting that such mechanisms can promote not\n               only individual responsibility for serious crimes, but also peace, truth, reconciliation\n               and the rights of the victims,\n                     Recalling the inclusion of a range of sexual violence offences in the Rome\n               Statute of the International Criminal Court and the statutes of the ad hoc\n               international criminal tribunals,\n                    Stressing the necessity for all States and non-State parties to conflicts to\n               comply fully with their obligations under applicable international law, including the\n               prohibition on all forms of sexual violence,\n                     Recognizing the need for civilian and military leaders, consistent with the\n               principle of command responsibility, to demonstrate commitment and political will\n               to prevent sexual violence and to combat impunity and enforce accountability, and\n               that inaction can send a message that the incidence of sexual violence in conflicts is\n               tolerated,\n                    Emphasizing the importance of addressing sexual violence issues from the\n               outset of peace processes and mediation efforts, in order to protect populations at\n               risk and promote full stability, in particular in the areas of pre-ceasefire\n               humanitarian access and human rights agreements, ceasefires and ceasefire\n               monitoring, Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR), Security\n               Sector Reform (SSR) arrangements, justice and reparations, post-conflict recovery\n               and development,\n                     Noting with concern the underrepresentation of women in formal peace\n               processes, the lack of mediators and ceasefire monitors with proper training in\n               dealing with sexual violence, and the lack of women as Chief or Lead peace\n               mediators in United Nations-sponsored peace talks,\n                     Recognizing that the promotion and empowerment of women and that support\n               for women’s organizations and networks are essential in the consolidation of peace\n               to promote the equal and full participation of women and encouraging Member\n               States, donors, and civil society, including non-governmental organizations, to\n               provide support in this respect,\n                     Welcoming the inclusion of women in peacekeeping missions in civil, military\n               and police functions, and recognizing that women and children affected by armed\n               conflict may feel more secure working with and reporting abuse to women in\n               peacekeeping missions, and that the presence of women peacekeepers may\n               encourage local women to participate in the national armed and security forces,\n\n\n\n2

         thereby helping to build a security sector that is accessible and responsive to all,\n           especially women,\n                 Welcoming the efforts of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations to\n           develop gender guidelines for military personnel in peacekeeping operations to\n           facilitate the implementation of resolutions 1325 (2000) and 1820 (2008), and\n           operational guidance to assist civilian, military and police components of\n           peacekeeping missions to effectively implement resolution 1820 (2008),\n                 Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 16 July 2009\n           (S/2009/362) and stressing that the present resolution does not seek to make any\n           legal determination as to whether situations that are referred to in the Secretary-General’s report are or are not armed conflicts within the context of the Geneva\n           Conventions and the Additional Protocols thereto, nor does it prejudge the legal\n           status of the non-State parties involved in these situations,\n                 Recalling the Council’s decision in resolution 1882 of 4 August 2009\n           (S/RES/1882) to expand the Annexed list in the Secretary General’s annual report\n           on Children and Armed Conflict of parties in situations of armed conflict engaged in\n           the recruitment or use of children in violation of international law to also include\n           those parties to armed conflict that engage, in contravention of applicable\n           international law, in patterns of killing and maiming of children and/or rape and\n           other sexual violence against children, in situations of armed conflict,\n                Noting the role currently assigned to the Office of the Special Adviser on\n           Gender Issues to monitor implementation of resolution 1325 and to promote gender\n           mainstreaming within the United Nations system, women’s empowerment and\n           gender equality, and expressing the importance of effective coordination within the\n           United Nations system in these areas,\n                Recognizing that States bear the primary responsibility to respect and ensure\n           the human rights of their citizens, as well as all individuals within their territory as\n           provided for by relevant international law,\n                 Reaffirming that parties to armed conflict bear the primary responsibility to\n           take all feasible steps to ensure the protection of affected civilians,\n                Reiterating its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international\n           peace and security and, in this connection, its commitment to continue to address\n           the widespread impact of armed conflict on civilians, including with regard to\n           sexual violence,\n                 1.   Reaffirms that sexual violence, when used or commissioned as a tactic of\n           war in order to deliberately target civilians or as a part of a widespread or\n           systematic attack against civilian populations, can significantly exacerbate\n           situations of armed conflict and may impede the restoration of international peace\n           and security; affirms in this regard that effective steps to prevent and respond to\n           such acts of sexual violence can significantly contribute to the maintenance of\n           international peace and security; and expresses its readiness, when considering\n           situations on the agenda of the Council, to take, where necessary, appropriate steps\n           to address widespread or systematic sexual violence in situations of armed conflict;\n                 2.    Reiterates its demand for the complete cessation by all parties to armed\n           conflict of all acts of sexual violence with immediate effect;\n\n\n\n09-53446                                                                                                         3\n\nS/RES/1888 (2009)\n\n\n                     3.   Demands that all parties to armed conflict immediately take appropriate\n               measures to protect civilians, including women and children, from all forms of\n               sexual violence, including measures such as, inter alia, enforcing appropriate\n               military disciplinary measures and upholding the principle of command\n               responsibility, training troops on the categorical prohibition of all forms of sexual\n               violence against civilians, debunking myths that fuel sexual violence and vetting\n               candidates for national armies and security forces to ensure the exclusion of those\n               associated with serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights\n               law, including sexual violence;\n                     4.   Requests that the United Nations Secretary-General appoint a Special\n               Representative to provide coherent and strategic leadership, to work effectively to\n               strengthen existing United Nations coordination mechanisms, and to engage in\n               advocacy efforts, inter alia with governments, including military and judicial\n               representatives, as well as with all parties to armed conflict and civil society, in\n               order to address, at both headquarters and country level, sexual violence in armed\n               conflict, while promoting cooperation and coordination of efforts among all relevant\n               stakeholders, primarily through the inter-agency initiative “United Nations Action\n               Against Sexual Violence in Conflict”;\n                    5.    Encourages the entities comprising UN Action Against Sexual Violence\n               in Conflict, as well as other relevant parts of the United Nations system, to support\n               the work of the aforementioned Special Representative of the Secretary-General and\n               to continue and enhance cooperation and information sharing among all relevant\n               stakeholders in order to reinforce coordination and avoid overlap at the headquarters\n               and country levels and improve system-wide response;\n                    6.    Urges States to undertake comprehensive legal and judicial reforms, as\n               appropriate, in conformity with international law, without delay and with a view to\n               bringing perpetrators of sexual violence in conflicts to justice and to ensuring that\n               survivors have access to justice, are treated with dignity throughout the justice\n               process and are protected and receive redress for their suffering;\n                     7.  Urges all parties to a conflict to ensure that all reports of sexual violence\n               committed by civilians or by military personnel are thoroughly investigated and the\n               alleged perpetrators brought to justice, and that civilian superiors and military\n               commanders, in accordance with international humanitarian law, use their authority\n               and powers to prevent sexual violence, including by combating impunity;\n                     8.    Calls upon the Secretary-General to identify and take the appropriate\n               measures to deploy rapidly a team of experts to situations of particular concern with\n               respect to sexual violence in armed conflict, working through the United Nations\n               presence on the ground and with the consent of the host government, to assist\n               national authorities to strengthen the rule of law, and recommends making use of\n               existing human resources within the United Nations system and voluntary\n               contributions, drawing upon requisite expertise, as appropriate, in the rule of law,\n               civilian and military judicial systems, mediation, criminal investigation, security\n               sector reform, witness protection, fair trial standards, and public outreach; to,\n               inter alia:\n                    (a) Work closely with national legal and judicial officials and other\n               personnel in the relevant governments’ civilian and military justice systems to\n\n\n\n\n4                                                                                                        09-53446\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/1888 (2009)\n\n\n           address impunity, including by the strengthening of national capacity, and drawing\n           attention to the full range of justice mechanisms to be considered;\n                (b) Identify gaps in national response and encourage a holistic national\n           approach to address sexual violence in armed conflict, including by enhancing\n           criminal accountability, responsiveness to victims, and judicial capacity;\n                (c) Make recommendations to coordinate domestic and international efforts\n           and resources to reinforce the government’s ability to address sexual violence in\n           armed conflict;\n                (d) Work with the United Nations Mission, Country Team, and the\n           aforementioned Special Representative of the Secretary-General as appropriate\n           towards the full implementation of the measures called for by resolution\n           1820 (2008);\n                 9.    Encourages States, relevant United Nations entities and civil society, as\n           appropriate, to provide assistance in close cooperation with national authorities to\n           build national capacity in the judicial and law enforcement systems in situations of\n           particular concern with respect to sexual violence in armed conflict;\n                 10. Reiterates its intention, when adopting or renewing targeted sanctions in\n           situations of armed conflict, to consider including, where appropriate, designation\n           criteria pertaining to acts of rape and other forms of sexual violence; and calls upon\n           all peacekeeping and other relevant United Nations missions and United Nations\n           bodies, in particular the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict, to share\n           with relevant United Nations Security Council sanctions committees, including\n           through relevant United Nations Security Council Sanction Committees’ monitoring\n           groups and groups of experts, all pertinent information about sexual violence;\n                11. Expresses its intention to ensure that resolutions to establish or renew\n           peacekeeping mandates contain provisions, as appropriate, on the prevention of, and\n           response to, sexual violence, with corresponding reporting requirements to the\n           Council;\n                 12. Decides to include specific provisions, as appropriate, for the protection\n           of women and children from rape and other sexual violence in the mandates of\n           United Nations peacekeeping operations, including, on a case-by-case basis, the\n           identification of women’s protection advisers (WPAs) among gender advisers and\n           human rights protection units, and requests the Secretary-General to ensure that the\n           need for, and the number and roles of WPAs are systematically assessed during the\n           preparation of each United Nations peacekeeping operation;\n                 13. Encourages States, with the support of the international community, to\n           increase access to health care, psychosocial support, legal assistance and socio\n           economic reintegration services for victims of sexual violence, in particular in rural\n           areas;\n                 14. Expresses its intention to make better usage of periodical field visits to\n           conflict areas, through the organization of interactive meetings with the local\n           women and women’s organizations in the field about the concerns and needs of\n           women in areas of armed conflict;\n                15.

Requests the Secretary-General to continue and strengthen efforts to\n               implement the policy of zero tolerance of sexual exploitation and abuse in United\n               Nations peacekeeping operations; and urges troop and police contributing countries\n               to take appropriate preventative action, including predeployment and in-theater\n               awareness training, and other action to ensure full accountability in cases of such\n               conduct involving their personnel;\n                     22. Requests that the Secretary-General continue to direct all relevant United\n               Nations entities to take specific measures to ensure systematic mainstreaming of\n               gender issues within their respective institutions, including by ensuring allocation of\n               adequate financial and human resources within all relevant offices and departments\n               and on the ground, as well as to strengthen, within their respective mandates, their\n               cooperation and coordination when addressing the issue of sexual violence in armed\n               conflict;\n                     23. Urges relevant Special Representatives and the Emergency Relief\n               Coordinator of the Secretary-General, with strategic and technical support from the\n               UN Action network, to work with Member States to develop joint Government-United Nations Comprehensive Strategies to Combat Sexual Violence, in\n               consultation with all relevant stakeholders, and to regularly provide updates on this\n               in their standard reporting to Headquarters;\n\n\n\n6                                                                                                         09-53446\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/1888 (2009)\n\n\n                 24. Requests that the Secretary-General ensure more systematic reporting on\n           incidents of trends, emerging patterns of attack, and early warning indicators of the\n           use of sexual violence in armed conflict in all relevant reports to the Council, and\n           encourages the Special Representatives of the Secretary-General, the Emergency\n           Relief Coordinator, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Special\n           Rapporteur on Violence against Women, and the Chairperson(s) of UN Action to\n           provide, in coordination with the aforementioned Special Representative, additional\n           briefings and documentation on sexual violence in armed conflict to the Council;\n                25. Requests the Secretary-General to include, where appropriate, in his\n           regular reports on individual peacekeeping operations, information on steps taken to\n           implement measures to protect civilians, particularly women and children, against\n           sexual violence;\n                 26. Requests the Secretary-General, taking into account the proposals\n           contained in his report as well as any other relevant elements, to devise urgently and\n           preferably within three months, specific proposals on ways to ensure monitoring and\n           reporting in a more effective and efficient way within the existing United Nations\n           system on the protection of women and children from rape and other sexual violence\n           in armed conflict and post-conflict situations, utilizing expertise from the United\n           Nations system and the contributions of national Governments, regional\n           organizations, non-governmental organizations in their advisory capacity and\n           various civil society actors, in order to provide timely, objective, accurate and\n           reliable information on gaps in United Nations entities response, for consideration\n           in taking appropriate action;\n                27.

      mutually reinforcing manner, of resolutions 1325 (2000), 1612 (2005), 1674 (2006),\n               1820 (2008), 1882 (2009), 1888 (2009) and all relevant Statements of its Presidents,\n                    Guided by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations,\n               and bearing in mind the primary responsibility of the Security Council under the\n               Charter for the maintenance of international peace and security,\n                    Recalling the resolve expressed in the 2005 United Nations General Assembly\n               World Summit Outcome Document (A/RES/60/1) to eliminate all forms of violence\n               against women and girls, the obligations of States Parties to the Convention on the\n               Elimination of All Forms of

concerning women\n               and armed conflict,\n                     Having considered the report of the Secretary General (S/2009/465) of\n               16 September 2009 and stressing that the present resolution does not seek to make\n               any legal determination as to whether situations that are referred to in the Secretary-General’s report are or are not armed conflicts within the context of the Geneva\n               Conventions and the Additional Protocols thereto, nor does it prejudge the legal\n               status of the non-State parties involved in these situations,\n                    Welcoming the efforts of Member States in implementing its resolution 1325\n               (2000) at the national level, including the development of national action plans, and\n               encouraging Member States to continue to pursue such implementation,\n                      Reiterating the need for the full, equal and effective participation of women at\n               all stages of peace processes given their vital role in the prevention and resolution of\n               conflict and peacebuilding, reaffirming the key role women can play in\n               re-establishing the fabric of recovering society and stressing the need for their\n\n09-54255 (E)\n*0954255*\n\nS/RES/1889 (2009)\n\n\n               involvement in the development and implementation of post-conflict strategies in\n               order to take into account their perspectives and needs,\n                    Expressing deep concern about the under-representation of women at all stages\n               of peace processes, particularly the very low numbers of women in formal roles in\n               mediation processes and stressing the need to ensure that women are appropriately\n               appointed at decision-making levels, as high level mediators, and within the\n               composition of the mediators’ teams,\n                     Remaining deeply concerned about the persistent obstacles to women’s full\n               involvement in the prevention and resolution of conflicts and participation in postconflict public life, as a result of violence and intimidation, lack of security and lack\n               of rule of law, cultural discrimination and stigmatization, including the rise of\n               extremist or fanatical views on women, and socio-economic factors including the\n               lack of access to education, and in this respect, recognizing that the marginalization\n               of women can delay or undermine the achievement of durable peace, security and\n               reconciliation,\n                     Recognizing the particular needs of women and girls in post-conflict\n               situations, including, inter alia, physical security, health services including\n               reproductive and mental health, ways to ensure their livelihoods, land and property\n               rights, employment, as well as their participation in decision-making and postconflict planning, particularly at early stages of post-conflict peacebuilding,\n                     Noting that despite progress, obstacles to strengthening women’s participation\n               in conflict prevention, conflict resolution and peacebuilding remain, expressing\n               concern that women’s capacity to engage in public decision making and economic\n               recovery often does not receive adequate recognition or financing in post-conflict\n               situations, and underlining that funding for women’s early recovery needs is vital to\n               increase women’s empowerment, which can contribute to effective post-conflict\n               peacebuilding,\n                     Noting that women in situations of armed conflict and post-conflict situations\n               continue to be often considered as victims and not as actors in addressing and\n               resolving situations of armed conflict and stressing the need to focus not only on\n               protection of women but also on their empowerment in peacebuilding,\n                     Recognizing that an understanding of the impact of situations of armed conflict\n               on women and girls, including as refugees and internally displaced persons,\n               adequate and rapid response to their particular needs, and effective institutional\n               arrangements to guarantee their protection and full participation in the peace\n               process, particularly at early stages of post-conflict peacebuilding, can significantly\n               contribute to the maintenance and promotion of international peace and security,\n                    Welcoming the United Nations initiative to develop a system similar to that\n               pioneered by the United Nations Development Programme to allow decision-makers\n               to track gender-related allocations in United Nations Development Group\n               Multi-Donor Trust Funds,\n                    Welcoming the efforts of the Secretary-General to appoint more women to\n               senior United Nations positions, particularly in field missions, as a tangible step\n               towards providing United Nations leadership on implementation of its resolution\n               1325 (2000),\n\n\n\n\n2                                                                                                          09-54255\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/1889 (2009)\n\n\n                Welcoming the upcoming establishment of a United Nations Steering\n           Committee to enhance visibility and strengthen coordination within the United\n           Nations system regarding the preparations for the 10th anniversary of resolution\n           1325 (2000),\n                Encouraging relevant actors to organize events during 2009-2010 at the\n           global, regional and national levels to increase awareness about resolution 1325\n           (2000), including ministerial events, to renew commitments to “Women and peace\n           and security”, and to identify ways to address remaining and new challenges in\n           implementing resolution 1325 (2000) in the future,\n                 1.  Urges Member States, international and regional organisations to take\n           further measures to improve women’s participation during all stages of peace\n           processes, particularly in conflict resolution, post-conflict planning and\n           peacebuilding, including by enhancing their engagement in political and economic\n           decision-making at early stages of recovery processes, through inter alia promoting\n           women’s leadership and capacity to engage in aid management and planning,\n           supporting women’s organizations, and countering negative societal attitudes about\n           women’s capacity to participate equally;\n                 2.   Reiterates its call for all parties in armed conflicts to respect fully\n           international law applicable to the rights and protection of women and girls;\n                3.    Strongly condemns all violations of applicable international law\n           committed against women and girls in situations of armed conflicts and\n           post-conflict situations, demands all parties to conflicts to cease such acts with\n           immediate effect, and emphasizes the responsibility of all States to put an end to\n           impunity and to prosecute those responsible for all forms of violence committed\n           against women and girls in armed conflicts, including rape and other sexual\n           violence;\n                 4.   Calls upon the Secretary-General to develop a strategy, including through\n           appropriate training, to increase the number of women appointed to pursue good\n           offices on his behalf, particularly as Special Representatives and Special Envoys,\n           and to take measures to increase women’s participation in United Nations political,\n           peacebuilding and peacekeeping missions;\n                 5.    Requests the Secretary-General to ensure that all country reports to the\n           Security Council provide information on the impact of situations of armed conflict\n           on women and girls, their particular needs in post-conflict situations and obstacles\n           to attaining those needs;\n                 6.    Requests the Secretary-General to ensure that relevant United Nations\n           bodies, in cooperation with Member States and civil society, collect data on, analyze\n           and systematically assess particular needs of women and girls in post-conflict\n           situations, including, inter alia, information on their needs for physical security and\n           participation in decision-making and post-conflict planning, in order to improve\n           system-wide response to those needs;\n                7.   Expresses its intention, when establishing and renewing the mandates of\n           United Nations missions, to include provisions on the promotion of gender equality\n           and the empowerment of women in post-conflict situations, and requests the\n           Secretary-General to continue, as appropriate, to appoint gender advisors and/or\n           women-protection advisors to United Nations missions and asks them, in\n\n\n\n09-54255                                                                                                        3\n\nS/RES/1889 (2009)\n\n\n               cooperation with United Nations Country Teams, to render technical assistance and\n               improved coordination efforts to address recovery needs of women and girls in postconflict situations;\n                    8.   Urges Member States to ensure gender mainstreaming in all post-conflict\n               peacebuilding and recovery processes and sectors;\n                     9.   Urges Member States, United Nations bodies, donors and civil society to\n               ensure that women’s empowerment is taken into account during post-conflict needs\n               assessments and planning, and factored into subsequent funding disbursements and\n               programme activities, including through developing transparent analysis and\n               tracking of funds allocated for addressing women’s needs in the post-conflict phase;\n                     10.

especially resolutions 1814 (2008), 1816 (2008), 1838 (2008), 1844 (2008),\n               1846 (2008), and 1851 (2008),\n                     Continuing to be gravely concerned by the ongoing threat that piracy and\n               armed robbery at sea against vessels pose to the prompt, safe, and effective delivery\n               of humanitarian aid to Somalia and the region, to international navigation and the\n               safety of commercial maritime routes, and to other vulnerable ships, including\n               fishing activities in conformity with international law and the extended range of the\n               piracy threat into the western Indian Ocean,\n                    Reaffirming its respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political\n               independence and unity of Somalia, including Somalia’s rights with respect to\n               offshore natural resources, including fisheries, in accordance with international law,\n                     Further reaffirming that international law, as reflected in the United Nations\n               Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 (“The Convention”), sets\n               out the legal framework applicable to combating piracy and armed robbery at sea, as\n               well as other ocean activities,\n                     Again taking into account the crisis situation in Somalia, and the limited\n               capacity of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) to interdict, or upon\n               interdiction to prosecute pirates or to patrol or secure the waters off the coast of\n               Somalia, including the international sea lanes and Somalia’s territorial waters,\n                     Noting the several requests from the TFG for international

the\n               appreciation of the TFG to the Security Council for its assistance, expressing the\n               TFG’s willingness to consider working with other States and regional organizations\n               to combat piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and requesting\n               that the provisions of resolutions 1846 (2008) and 1851 (2008) be

        Forces’ Combined Task Force 151, and other States acting in a national capacity in\n               cooperation with the TFG and each other, to suppress piracy and to protect\n               vulnerable ships transiting through the waters off the coast of Somalia,\n                     Noting with concern that the continuing limited capacity and domestic\n               legislation to facilitate the custody and prosecution of suspected pirates after their\n               capture has hindered more robust international action against the pirates off the\n               coast of Somalia, and in some cases has led to pirates being released without facing\n               justice, regardless of whether there is sufficient evidence to support prosecution,\n               reiterating that, consistent with the provisions of the Convention concerning the\n               repression of piracy, the 1988 Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts\n               Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation (“SUA Convention”) provides for parties\n               to create criminal offences, establish jurisdiction, and accept delivery of persons\n               responsible for or suspected of seizing or exercising control over a ship by force or\n               threat thereof or any other form of intimidation, and stressing the need for States to\n               criminalize piracy under their domestic law and to favourably consider the\n               prosecution, in appropriate cases, of suspected pirates, consistent with applicable\n               international law,\n                     Commending the Republic of Kenya’s efforts to prosecute suspected pirates in\n               its national courts, and noting with appreciation the assistance being provided by the\n               United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and other international\n               organizations and donors, in coordination with the Contact Group on Piracy off the\n               Coast of Somalia (“CGPCS”), to support Kenya, Somalia and other States in the\n               region, including Seychelles and Yemen, to take steps to prosecute or incarcerate in\n               a third state after prosecution elsewhere captured pirates consistent with applicable\n               international human rights law,\n                     Noting the ongoing efforts within the CGPCS to explore possible additional\n               mechanisms to effectively prosecute persons suspected of piracy and armed robbery\n               at sea off the coast of Somalia,\n                    Further noting with appreciation the ongoing efforts by UNODC and UNDP to\n               support efforts to enhance the capacity of the corrections system in Somalia,\n               including regional authorities, to incarcerate convicted pirates consistent with\n               applicable international human rights law,\n                     Welcoming the adoption of the Djibouti Code of Conduct concerning the\n               Repression of Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in the Western Indian Ocean\n               and the Gulf of Aden, and the establishment of the International Maritime\n               Organization (IMO) Djibouti Code Trust Fund (Multi-donor trust fund- Japan\n               initiated), as well as the International Trust Fund Supporting Initiatives of the\n               CGPCS, and recognizing the efforts of signatory States to develop the appropriate\n               regulatory and legislative frameworks to combat piracy, enhance their capacity to\n               patrol the waters of the region, interdict suspect vessels, and prosecute suspected\n               pirates,\n                     Emphasizing that peace and stability within Somalia, the strengthening of State\n               institutions, economic and social development and respect for human rights and the\n               rule of law are necessary to create the conditions for a durable eradication of piracy\n\n\n\n2                                                                                                       09-62465\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/1897 (2009)\n\n\n           and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and further emphasizing that\n           Somalia’s long-term security rests with the effective development by the TFG of the\n           National Security Force and Somali Police Force, in the framework of the Djibouti\n           Agreement and in line with a national security strategy,\n                 Determining that the incidents of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast\n           of Somalia exacerbate the situation in Somalia, which continues to constitute a\n           threat to international peace and security in the region,\n                Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                1.   Reiterates that it condemns and deplores all acts of piracy and armed\n           robbery against vessels in the waters off the coast of Somalia;\n                2.   Notes again its concern regarding the findings contained in the\n           20 November 2008 report of the Monitoring Group on Somalia (S/2008/769, page\n           55) that escalating ransom payments and the lack of enforcement of the arms\n           embargo established by resolution 733 (1992) are fuelling the growth of piracy off\n           the coast of Somalia, and calls upon all States to fully cooperate with the\n           Monitoring Group on Somalia;\n                 3.   Renews its call upon States and regional organizations that have the\n           capacity to do so, to take part in the fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea\n           off the coast of Somalia, in particular, consistent with this resolution and\n           international law, by deploying naval vessels, arms and military aircraft and through\n           seizures and disposition of boats, vessels, arms and other related equipment used in\n           the commission of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, or for\n           which there are reasonable grounds for suspecting such use;\n                 4.   Commends the work of the CGPCS to facilitate coordination in order to\n           deter acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, in\n           cooperation with the IMO, flag States, and the TFG and urges States and\n           international organizations to continue to support these efforts;\n                 5.   Acknowledges Somalia’s rights with respect to offshore natural resources,\n           including fisheries, in accordance with international law, and calls upon States and\n           interested organizations, including the IMO, to provide technical assistance to\n           Somalia, including regional authorities, and nearby coastal States upon their request\n           to enhance their capacity to ensure coastal and maritime security, including\n           combating piracy and armed robbery at sea off the Somali and nearby coastlines,\n           and stresses the importance of coordination in this regard through the CGPCS;\n                6.    Invites all States and regional organizations fighting piracy off the coast\n           of Somalia to conclude special agreements or arrangements with countries willing to\n           take custody of pirates in order to embark law enforcement officials (“shipriders”)\n           from the latter countries, in particular countries in the region, to facilitate the\n           investigation and prosecution of persons detained as a result of operations\n           conducted under this resolution for acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the\n           coast of Somalia, provided that the advance consent of the TFG is obtained for the\n           exercise of third state jurisdiction by shipriders in Somali territorial waters and that\n           such agreements or arrangements do not prejudice the effective implementation of\n           the SUA Convention;\n                 7.   Encourages Member States to continue to cooperate with the TFG in the\n           fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea, notes the primary role of the TFG in\n\n\n09-62465                                                                                                         3\n\nS/RES/1897 (2009)\n\n\n               the fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea, and decides that for a period of\n               twelve months from the date of this resolution to renew the authorizations as set out\n               in paragraph 10 of Resolution 1846 (2008) and paragraph 6 of Resolution\n               1851 (2008) granted to States and regional organizations cooperating with the TFG\n               in the fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, for\n               which advance notification has been provided by the TFG to the Secretary-General;\n                     8.   Affirms that the authorizations renewed in this resolution apply only with\n               respect to the situation in Somalia and shall not affect the rights or obligations or\n               responsibilities of Member States under international law, including any rights or\n               obligations under the Convention, with respect to any other situation, and\n               underscores in particular that this resolution shall not be considered as establishing\n               customary international law; and affirms further that such authorizations have been\n               renewed only following the receipt of the 2 and 6 November 2009 letters conveying\n               the consent of the TFG;\n                     9.   Affirms that the measures imposed by paragraph 5 of resolution\n               733 (1992) and further elaborated upon by paragraphs 1 and 2 of resolution\n               1425 (2002) do not apply to weapons and military equipment destined for the sole\n               use of Member States and regional organizations undertaking measures in\n               accordance with paragraph 7 above or to supplies of technical assistance to Somalia\n               solely for the purposes set out in paragraphs 5 above which have been exempted\n               from those measures in accordance with the procedure set out in paragraphs 11 (b)\n               and 12 of resolution 1772 (2007);\n                     10. Requests that cooperating States take appropriate steps to ensure that the\n               activities they undertake pursuant to the authorizations in paragraph 7 do not have\n               the practical effect of denying or impairing the right of innocent passage to the ships\n               of any third State;\n                     11. Calls on Member States to assist Somalia, at the request of the TFG and\n               with notification to the Secretary-General, to strengthen capacity in Somalia,\n               including regional authorities, to bring to justice those who are using Somali\n               territory to plan, facilitate, or undertake criminal acts of piracy and armed robbery at\n               sea, and stresses that any measures undertaken pursuant to this paragraph shall be\n               consistent with applicable international human rights law;\n                     12. Calls upon all States, and in particular flag, port, and coastal States,\n               States of the nationality of victims and perpetrators of piracy and armed robbery,\n               and other States with relevant jurisdiction under international law and national\n               legislation, to cooperate in determining jurisdiction, and in the investigation and\n               prosecution of persons responsible for acts of piracy and armed robbery off the\n               coast of Somalia, consistent with applicable international law including\n               international human rights law, to ensure that all pirates handed over to judicial\n               authorities are subject to a judicial process, and to render assistance by, among other\n               actions, providing disposition and logistics assistance with respect to persons under\n               their jurisdiction and control, such as victims and witnesses and persons detained as\n               a result of operations conducted under this resolution;\n                     13. Commends in this context the decision by the CGPCS to establish an\n               International Trust Fund to support its initiatives and encourages donors to\n               contribute to it;\n\n\n\n\n4                                                                                                         09-62465\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/1897 (2009)\n\n\n                 14.

During this period of engagement, the Ombudsperson:\n                     (a) May ask the petitioner questions or request additional information or\n               clarifications that may help the Committee’s consideration of the request, including\n               any questions or information requests received from relevant States, the Committee\n               and the Monitoring Team;\n                     (b) Shall forward replies from the petitioner back to relevant States, the\n               Committee and the Monitoring Team and follow up with the petitioner in connection\n               with incomplete responses by the petitioner; and,\n                    (c) Shall coordinate with States, the Committee and the Monitoring Team\n               regarding any further inquiries of, or response to, the petitioner;\n               7.

After the Committee has had thirty days to review the Comprehensive Report,\n               the chair of the Committee shall place the delisting request on the Committee’s\n               agenda for consideration.\n               9.   When the Committee considers the delisting request, the Ombudsperson, aided\n               by the Monitoring Team, as appropriate, shall present the Comprehensive Report in\n               person and answer Committee members’ questions regarding the request.\n\n\n14                                                                                                    09-65662\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/1904 (2009)\n\n\n           10. After the Committee consideration, the Committee shall decide whether to\n           approve the delisting request through its normal decision-making procedures.\n           11. If the Committee decides to grant the delisting request, then the Committee\n           shall inform the Ombudsperson of this decision. The Ombudsperson shall then\n           inform the petitioner of this decision and the listing shall be removed from the\n           Consolidated List.\n           12. If the Committee decides to reject the delisting request, then the Committee\n           shall convey to the Ombudsperson its decision including, as appropriate,\n           explanatory comments, any further relevant information about the Committee’s\n           decision, and an updated narrative summary of reasons for listing.\n           13. After the Committee has informed the Ombudsperson that the Committee has\n           rejected a delisting request, then the Ombudsperson shall send to the petitioner, with\n           an advance copy sent to the Committee, within fifteen days a letter that:\n                 (a)   Communicates the Committee’s decision for continued listing;\n                (b) Describes, to the extent possible and drawing upon the Ombudsperson’s\n           Comprehensive Report, the process and publicly releasable factual information\n           gathered by the Ombudsperson; and,\n                (c) Forwards from the Committee all information about the decision\n           provided to the Ombudsperson pursuant to paragraph 12 above.\n           14. In all communications with the petitioner, the Ombudsperson shall respect the\n           confidentiality of Committee deliberations and confidential communications\n           between the Ombudsperson and Member States.\n\n           Other Office of the Ombudsperson Tasks\n           15.   In addition to the tasks specified above, the Ombudsperson shall:\n                (a) Distribute publicly releasable information about Committee procedures,\n           including Committee Guidelines, fact sheets and other Committee-prepared\n           documents, to anyone who requests such information;\n                 (b) Where address is known, notify individuals or entities about the status of\n           their listing, after the Secretariat has officially notified the Permanent Mission of the\n           State or States, pursuant to paragraph 18 of this resolution; and,\n                 (c) Submit biannual reports summarizing the activities of the Ombudsperson\n           to the Security Council.\n\n\n\n\n09-65662                                                                                                         15\n", "text_length": 52329, "title": "Security Council resolution 1904 (2009) [on continuation of measures imposed against the Taliban and Al-Qaida]", "agenda_information": "S/64 [31] TERRORISM\nS/64 [38] SANCTIONS COMPLIANCE\nS/64 [47] UN ASSISTANCE MISSION IN AFGHANISTAN", "subjects": "Bin Laden, Usama|Taliban (Afghanistan)|Qaida (Organization)|UN.

Calls upon the Government of Iraq to put in place the necessary action\n               plan and timeline by 1 April 2010 and to ensure the timely and effective transition to\n               a post-Development Fund mechanism by 31 December 2010, which takes into\n               account IMF Stand-By Arrangement requirements and includes external auditing\n               arrangements and enables Iraq to meet its obligations as established in the\n               provisions of paragraph 21 of resolution 1483 (2003);\n                     5.    Requests the Government of Iraq through the head of the Committee of\n               Financial Experts (COFE) to report to the Security Council on a quarterly basis,\n               with the first report no later than 1 April 2010 to provide an action plan and timeline\n               for the transition from the Development Fund and details on the progress made in\n               strengthening financial and administrative oversight of the current Development\n               Fund for Iraq, with subsequent quarterly reports to provide an assessment of\n               progress against the action plan and oversight improvements;\n                    6.    Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.\n\n\n\n\n2                                                                                                        09-66191\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/1905 (2009)\n\n\nAnnex\n           Letter dated 13 December 2009 from the Prime Minister of Iraq\n           addressed to the President of the Security Council\n\n                 I refer to my letter dated 7 December 2008 addressed to the President of the\n           Security Council, in which I made it clear that Iraq is committed to finding a\n           satisfactory solution to the problem of the debts and claims that it inherited from the\n           previous regime. In that letter, I expressed the wish of the Government of Iraq that\n           the temporary assistance provided by the international community should continue,\n           in order to permit that goal to be achieved. I also made it clear that the Government\n           of Iraq recognizes that the Development Fund for Iraq plays an important role in\n           ensuring that oil and gas revenues are employed in the best interests of the Iraqi\n           people, and that the International Advisory and Monitoring Board helps to ensure\n           that those resources are managed in a transparent and responsible fashion. In 2010,\n           the Government of Iraq will make appropriate arrangements for the Development\n           Fund for Iraq and the International Advisory and Monitoring Board, with a view to\n           ensuring that oil revenue continues to be used fairly and in the interests of the Iraqi\n           people. Such arrangements will be in keeping with the Constitution and with\n           international best practices with respect to transparency, accountability and\n           integrity. Here, I should like to affirm that in 2009, the Government of Iraq made\n           great progress in settling the above-mentioned debts and claims, including by\n           concluding agreements on the reduction of sovereign debt and other bilateral\n           agreements concerning certain claims.\n                 During the remainder of 2009 and in 2010, we will take action to recover the\n           international financial standing of Iraq while at the same time managing oil and gas\n           revenues in order to benefit the people of Iraq.\n                 Those goals cannot be achieved without the continued assistance of the\n           international community by means of the adoption of a Security Council resolution\n           whereby the conditions and arrangements provided for in resolution 1859 (2008) are\n           extended. That resolution concerned the extension of the mandates of the\n           Development Fund for Iraq and the International Advisory and Monitoring Board\n           for a period of 12 months. A review of the new extension should be conducted\n           before 15 June 2010 at the request of the Government of Iraq.\n                I should be grateful if you would circulate this letter to the members of the\n           Security Council as soon as possible and include it as an annex to the resolution\n           currently being drafted on the extension of the mandates referred to above.\n                Accept, Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.\n\n                                                                (Signed) Nuri Kamel al-Maliki\n                                                          Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq\n                                                                              13 December 2009\n\n\n\n\n09-66191                                                                                                        3\n", "text_length": 9468, "title": "Security Council resolution 1905 (2009) [on extension of the arrangements for depositing into the Development Fund for Iraq of proceeds from export sales of petroleum, petroleum products and natural gas]", "agenda_information": "S/64 [119] IRAQ SITUATION", "subjects": "Development Fund for Iraq|Development Fund for Iraq.

Reiterates, consistent with paragraphs 3 (g) and 14 of resolution\n               1856 (2008) that the support of MONUC to FARDC-led military operations against\n               foreign and Congolese armed groups is strictly conditioned on FARDC’s compliance\n               with international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law and on an effective\n               joint planning of these operations, decides that MONUC military leadership shall\n               confirm, prior to providing any support to such operations that sufficient joint\n               planning has been undertaken, especially regarding the protection of the civilian\n               population, calls upon MONUC to intercede with the FARDC command if elements\n               of a FARDC unit receiving MONUC’s support are suspected of having committed\n               grave violations of such laws, and if the situation persists, calls upon MONUC to\n               withdraw support from these FARDC units;\n                     23. Notes in this regard the development by MONUC of a Policy Paper\n               setting out the conditions under which the Mission can provide support to FARDC\n               units, and requests the Secretary-General to establish an appropriate mechanism to\n               regularly assess the implementation of this Policy;\n                     24.

mechanisms to more effectively prosecute persons suspected of piracy and armed\n               robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia,\n                     Emphasizing that peace and stability

conditions for a durable eradication of piracy\n               and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and further emphasizing that\n               Somalia’s long-term security rests with

security strategy,\n                     Being concerned over cases when persons suspected of piracy are released\n               without facing justice and determined to create conditions to ensure that pirates are\n               held accountable,\n                     1.    Affirms that the failure to prosecute persons responsible for acts of piracy\n               and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia undermines anti-piracy efforts of\n               the international community;\n\n\n2                                                                                                         10-33139\n\n                                                                                               S/RES/1918 (2010)\n\n\n                2.    Calls on all States, including States in the region, to criminalize piracy\n           under their domestic law and favourably consider the prosecution of suspected, and\n           imprisonment of convicted, pirates apprehended off the coast of Somalia, consistent\n           with applicable international human rights law;\n                3.   Welcomes in this context the progress being made to implement the IMO\n           Djibouti Code of Conduct, and calls upon its participants to implement it fully as\n           soon as possible;\n                 4.   Requests the Secretary-General to present to the Security Council within\n           3 months a report on possible options to further the aim of prosecuting and\n           imprisoning persons responsible for acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the\n           coast of Somalia, including, in particular, options for creating special domestic\n           chambers possibly with international components, a regional tribunal or an\n           international tribunal and corresponding imprisonment arrangements, taking into\n           account the work of the CGPCS, the existing practice in establishing international\n           and mixed tribunals, and the time and the resources necessary to achieve and sustain\n           substantive results;\n                5.

Expresses its concern for the health and welfare of the civilian\n               populations in Sudan; calls upon the parties to the CPA and the communiqué signed\n               between the United Nations and the GNU in Khartoum on 28 March 2007 to support\n               and protect all humanitarian personnel and facilitate all humanitarian operations in\n               the Sudan; and urges the Government of Sudan to continue working with the United\n               Nations to ensure continuity of humanitarian assistance throughout Sudan;\n                    14. Notes that conflict in one area of Sudan affects conflict in other areas of\n               the country, and therefore urges UNMIS, consistent with its current mandate, to\n               cooperate closely with all United Nations entities operating in the region, including\n               the AU-UN Joint Mediation Support Team and other stakeholders, so that\n               implementation of these bodies’ mandates supports the overall objective of peace in\n               Sudan and the region;\n                     15. Recognizes the detrimental impact of the proliferation of arms, in\n               particular small arms, on the security of civilians by fuelling armed conflict,\n               encourages UNMIS to continue its efforts in providing assistance to the\n               Government of South Sudan with regard to the civilian disarmament process, in\n               particular by strengthening the capacity of local authorities to deter inter-communal\n               conflicts and by monitoring forced civilian disarmament initiatives in an effort to\n               avert disarmament operations that could exacerbate insecurity in Southern Sudan;\n                     16. Requests UNMIS, acting within its current mandate and within its current\n               means and capabilities, to continue to provide technical and logistical support to the\n               Technical ad hoc Border Committee, as requested, to help the parties urgently\n               conclude the process of demarcation of the 1956 North/South border, in accordance\n               with the CPA;\n                     17.

Corps (IRGC, also known as “Army of the Guardians of the Islamic\n               Revolution”), including those specified in Annex D and E of resolution 1737 (2006),\n               Annex I of resolution 1747 (2007) and Annex II of this resolution, in Iran’s\n               proliferation sensitive nuclear activities and the development of nuclear weapon\n               delivery systems,\n                     Noting with serious concern that Iran has constructed an enrichment facility at\n               Qom in breach of its obligations to suspend all enrichment-related activities, and\n               that Iran failed to notify it to the IAEA until September 2009, which is inconsistent\n               with its obligations under the Subsidiary Arrangements to its Safeguards Agreement,\n                     Also noting the resolution of the IAEA Board of Governors (GOV/2009/82),\n               which urges Iran to suspend immediately construction at Qom, and to clarify the\n               facility’s purpose, chronology of design and construction, and calls upon Iran to\n               confirm, as requested by the IAEA, that it has not taken a decision to construct, or\n               authorize construction of, any other nuclear facility which has as yet not been\n               declared to the IAEA,\n                    Noting with serious concern that Iran has enriched uranium to 20 per cent, and\n               did so without notifying the IAEA with sufficient time for it to adjust the existing\n               safeguards procedures,\n                      Noting with concern that Iran has taken issue with the IAEA’s right to verify\n               design information which had been provided by Iran pursuant to the modified\n               Code 3.1, and emphasizing that in accordance with Article 39 of Iran’s Safeguards\n               Agreement Code 3.1 cannot be modified nor suspended unilaterally and that the\n               IAEA’s right to verify design information provided to it is a continuing right, which\n               is not dependent on the stage of construction of, or the presence of nuclear material\n               at, a facility,\n                      Reiterating its determination to reinforce the authority of the IAEA, strongly\n               supporting the role of the IAEA Board of Governors, and commending the IAEA for\n               its efforts to resolve outstanding issues relating to Iran’s nuclear programme,\n                     Expressing the conviction that the suspension set out in paragraph 2 of\n               resolution 1737 (2006) as well as full, verified Iranian compliance with the\n               requirements set out by the IAEA Board of Governors would contribute to a\n               diplomatic, negotiated solution that guarantees Iran’s nuclear programme is for\n               exclusively peaceful purposes,\n                    Emphasizing the importance of political and diplomatic efforts to find a\n               negotiated solution guaranteeing that Iran’s nuclear programme is exclusively for\n               peaceful purposes and noting in this regard the efforts of Turkey and Brazil towards\n               an agreement with Iran on the Tehran Research Reactor that could serve as a\n               confidence-building measure,\n\n\n\n2

    Emphasizing also, however, in the context of these efforts, the importance of\n           Iran addressing the core issues related to its nuclear programme,\n                Stressing that China, France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United\n           Kingdom and the United States are willing to take further concrete measures on\n           exploring an overall strategy of resolving the Iranian nuclear issue through\n           negotiation on the basis of their June 2006 proposals (S/2006/521) and their June\n           2008 proposals (INFCIRC/730), and noting the confirmation by these countries that\n           once the confidence of the international community in the exclusively peaceful\n           nature of Iran’s nuclear programme is restored it will be treated in the same manner\n           as that of any Non-Nuclear Weapon State Party to the Treaty on the\n           Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons,\n                 Welcoming the guidance issued by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to\n           assist States in implementing their financial obligations under resolutions 1737\n           (2006) and 1803 (2008), and recalling in particular the need to exercise vigilance\n           over transactions involving Iranian banks, including the Central Bank of Iran, so as\n           to prevent such transactions contributing to proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities,\n           or to the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems,\n                 Recognizing that access to diverse, reliable energy is critical for sustainable\n           growth and development, while noting the potential connection between Iran’s\n           revenues derived from its energy sector and the funding of Iran’s proliferationsensitive nuclear activities, and further noting that chemical process equipment and\n           materials required for the petrochemical industry have much in common with those\n           required for certain sensitive nuclear fuel cycle activities,\n                Having regard to States’ rights and obligations relating to international trade,\n                 Recalling that the law of the sea, as reflected in the United Nations Convention\n           on the Law of the Sea (1982), sets out the legal framework applicable to ocean\n           activities,\n                 Calling for the ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty by\n           Iran at an early date,\n                 Determined to give effect to its decisions by adopting appropriate measures to\n           persuade Iran to comply with resolutions 1696 (2006), 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007)\n           and 1803 (2008) and with the requirements of the IAEA, and also to constrain Iran’s\n           development of sensitive technologies in support of its nuclear and missile\n           programmes, until such time as the Security Council determines that the objectives\n           of these resolutions have been met,\n                Concerned by the proliferation risks presented by the Iranian nuclear\n           programme and mindful of its primary responsibility under the Charter of the United\n           Nations for the maintenance of international peace and security,\n                 Stressing that nothing in this resolution compels States to take measures or\n           actions exceeding the scope of this resolution, including the use of force or the\n           threat of force,\n                Acting under Article 41 of Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                1.   Affirms that Iran has so far failed to meet the requirements of the IAEA\n           Board of Governors and to comply with resolutions 1696 (2006), 1737 (2006), 1747\n           (2007) and 1803 (2008);\n\n\n10-36979                                                                                                          3\n\nS/RES/1929 (2010)\n\n\n                     2.   Affirms that Iran shall without further delay take the steps required by the\n               IAEA Board of Governors in its resolutions GOV/2006/14 and GOV/2009/82, which\n               are essential to build confidence in the exclusively peaceful purpose of its nuclear\n               programme, to resolve outstanding questions and to address the serious concerns\n               raised by the construction of an enrichment facility at Qom in breach of its\n               obligations to suspend all enrichment-related activities, and, in this context, further\n               affirms its decision that Iran shall without delay take the steps required in\n               paragraph 2 of resolution 1737 (2006);\n                     3.

President (S/PRST/2010/16) of 25 August 2010,\n                     Continuing to be gravely concerned by the ongoing threat that piracy and\n               armed robbery at sea against vessels pose to the prompt, safe, and effective delivery\n               of humanitarian aid to Somalia and the region, to the safety of seafarers and other\n               persons, to international navigation and the safety of commercial maritime routes,\n               and to other vulnerable ships, including fishing activities in conformity with\n               international law, and also gravely concerned by the extended range of the piracy\n               threat into the western Indian Ocean and the increase in pirate capacities,\n                     Expressing concern about the reported involvement of children in piracy off\n               the coast of Somalia,\n                     Recognizing that the ongoing instability in Somalia contributes to the problem\n               of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and stressing the need\n               for a comprehensive response to tackle piracy and its underlying causes by the\n               international community,\n                     Reaffirming its respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political\n               independence and unity of Somalia, including Somalia’s rights with respect to\n               offshore natural resources, including fisheries, in accordance with international law,\n               and stressing the importance of preventing, in accordance with international law,\n               illegal fishing and illegal dumping, including toxic substances,\n                     Further reaffirming that international law, as reflected in the United Nations\n               Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 (“The Convention”), sets\n               out the legal framework applicable to combating piracy and armed robbery at sea, as\n               well as other ocean activities,\n                    Again taking into account the crisis situation in Somalia, and the limited\n               capacity of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) to interdict, or upon\n\n\n\n10-64902 (E)\n*1064902*\n\nS/RES/1950 (2010)\n\n\n               interdiction to prosecute pirates or to patrol or secure the waters off the coast of\n               Somalia, including the international sea lanes and Somalia’s territorial waters,\n                     Noting the several requests from the TFG for international assistance to\n               counter piracy off its coast, including the letter of 20 October 2010 from the\n               Permanent Representative of Somalia to the United Nations expressing the\n               appreciation of the TFG to the Security Council for its assistance, expressing the\n               TFG’s willingness to consider working with other States and regional organizations\n               to combat piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and requesting\n               that the provisions of resolution 1897 (2009) be renewed for an additional twelve\n               months,\n                     Commending the efforts of the EU operation Atalanta, North Atlantic Treaty\n               Organization operations Allied Protector and Ocean Shield, Combined Maritime\n               Forces’ Combined Task Force 151, and other States acting in a national capacity in\n               cooperation with the TFG and each other, to suppress piracy and to protect\n               vulnerable ships transiting through the waters off the coast of Somalia, and\n               welcoming the efforts of individual countries, including China, India, Islamic\n               Republic of Iran, Japan, Malaysia, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, Saudi\n               Arabia, and Yemen, which have deployed ships and/or aircraft in the region, as\n               stated in the Secretary-General’s report (S/2010/394),\n                     Welcoming the capacity building efforts made by the International Maritime\n               Organization (IMO) Djibouti Code Trust Fund (Multi-donor trust fund — Japan\n               initiated), and the Trust Fund Supporting Initiatives of States Countering Piracy off\n               the Coast of Somalia, and recognizing the need for all engaged international and\n               regional organizations to cooperate fully,\n                     Noting with concern that the continuing limited capacity and domestic\n               legislation to facilitate the custody and prosecution of suspected pirates after their\n               capture has hindered more robust international action against the pirates off the\n               coast of Somalia, and in some cases has led to pirates being released without facing\n               justice, regardless of whether there is sufficient evidence to support prosecution, and\n               reiterating that, consistent with the provisions of the Convention concerning the\n               repression of piracy, the 1988 Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts\n               Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation (“SUA Convention”) provides for parties\n               to create criminal offences, establish jurisdiction, and accept delivery of persons\n               responsible for or suspected of seizing or exercising control over a ship by force or\n               threat thereof or any other form of intimidation,\n                     Underlining the importance of continuing to enhance the collection,\n               preservation and transmission to competent authorities of evidence of acts of piracy\n               and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and welcoming the ongoing work\n               of IMO, INTERPOL and industry groups to develop guidance to seafarers on\n               preservation of crime scenes following acts of piracy, and noting the importance for\n               the successful prosecution of acts of piracy of enabling seafarers to give evidence in\n               criminal proceedings,\n                    Commending the Republic of Kenya and the Republic of Seychelles’ efforts to\n               prosecute suspected pirates in their national courts, welcoming the engagement of\n               the Republic of Mauritius, and noting with appreciation the assistance being\n               provided by the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the Trust\n               Fund Supporting Initiatives of States Countering Piracy off the Coast of Somalia,\n\n\n\n2                                                                                                        10-64902\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/1950 (2010)\n\n\n           and other international organizations and donors, in coordination with the Contact\n           Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia (“CGPCS”), to support Kenya,\n           Seychelles, Somalia, and other States in the region, including Yemen, to take steps\n           to prosecute, or incarcerate in a third state after prosecution elsewhere, captured\n           pirates consistent with applicable international human rights law, and emphasizing\n           the need for States and international organizations to further enhance international\n           efforts in this regard,\n                 Welcoming the readiness of the national and regional administrations of\n           Somalia to cooperate with each other and with States who have prosecuted\n           suspected pirates with a view to enabling convicted pirates to be repatriated back to\n           Somalia under suitable prisoner transfer arrangements, consistent with applicable\n           international law including international human rights law,\n                 Welcoming the report of the Secretary General (S/2010/394), as requested by\n           resolution 1918 (2010), and the ongoing efforts within the CGPCS and the United\n           Nations Secretariat to explore possible additional mechanisms to effectively\n           prosecute persons suspected of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of\n           Somalia,\n                 Stressing the need for States to consider possible methods to assist the\n           seafarers who are victims of pirates, and welcoming in this regard the ongoing work\n           within the CGPCS and the International Maritime Organization on developing\n           guidelines for the care of seafarers and other persons who have been subjected to\n           acts of piracy,\n                 Further noting with appreciation the ongoing efforts by UNODC and UNDP to\n           support efforts to enhance the capacity of the corrections system in Somalia,\n           including regional authorities notably with the support of the Trust Fund Supporting\n           Initiatives of States Countering Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, to incarcerate\n           convicted pirates consistent with applicable international human rights law,\n                 Bearing in mind the Djibouti Code of Conduct concerning the Repression of\n           Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in the Western Indian Ocean and the Gulf\n           of Aden, and recognizing the efforts of signatory States to develop the appropriate\n           regulatory and legislative frameworks to combat piracy, enhance their capacity to\n           patrol the waters of the region, interdict suspect vessels, and prosecute suspected\n           pirates,\n                 Emphasizing that peace and stability within Somalia, the strengthening of State\n           institutions, economic and social development and respect for human rights and the\n           rule of law are necessary to create the conditions for a durable eradication of piracy\n           and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and further emphasizing that\n           Somalia’s long-term security rests with the effective development by the TFG of the\n           National Security Force and Somali Police Force, in the framework of the Djibouti\n           Agreement and in line with a national security strategy,\n                 Determining that the incidents of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast\n           of Somalia exacerbate the situation in Somalia, which continues to constitute a\n           threat to international peace and security in the region,\n                Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                1.   Reiterates that it condemns and deplores all acts of piracy and armed\n           robbery against vessels in the waters off the coast of Somalia;\n\n\n10-64902                                                                                                       3\n\nS/RES/1950 (2010)\n\n\n                     2.   Recognizes that the ongoing instability in Somalia is one of the\n               underlying causes of the problem of piracy and contributes to the problem of piracy\n               and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and stresses the need for a\n               comprehensive response to tackle piracy and its underlying causes by the\n               international community;\n                    3.    Notes again its concern regarding the findings contained in the\n               20 November 2008 report of the Monitoring Group on Somalia (S/2008/769, page\n               55) that escalating ransom payments and the lack of enforcement of the arms\n               embargo established by resolution 733 (1992) are fuelling the growth of piracy off\n               the coast of Somalia, and calls upon all States to fully cooperate with the Somalia\n               and Eritrea Monitoring Group including on information sharing regarding possible\n               arms embargo violations;\n                     4.   Renews its call upon States and regional organizations that have the\n               capacity to do so, to take part in the fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea\n               off the coast of Somalia, in particular, consistent with this resolution and\n               international law, by deploying naval vessels, arms and military aircraft and through\n               seizures and disposition of boats, vessels, arms and other related equipment used in\n               the commission of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, or for\n               which there are reasonable grounds for suspecting such use;\n                     5.   Commends the work of the CGPCS to facilitate coordination in order to\n               deter acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, in\n               cooperation with the IMO, flag States, and the TFG and urges States and\n               international organizations to continue to support these efforts;\n                    6.     Acknowledges Somalia’s rights with respect to offshore natural resources,\n               including fisheries, in accordance with international law, recalls the importance of\n               preventing, in accordance with international law, illegal fishing and illegal dumping,\n               including toxic substances, and calls upon States and interested organizations,\n               including the IMO, to provide technical assistance to Somalia, including regional\n               authorities, and nearby coastal States upon their request to enhance their capacity to\n               ensure coastal and maritime security, including combating piracy and armed robbery\n               at sea off the Somali and nearby coastlines, and stresses the importance of\n               coordination in this regard through the CGPCS;\n                     7.    Encourages Member States to continue to cooperate with the TFG in the\n               fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea, notes the primary role of the TFG in\n               the fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea, and decides that for a further\n               period of twelve months from the date of this resolution to renew the authorizations\n               as set out in paragraph 10 of resolution 1846 (2008) and paragraph 6 of resolution\n               1851 (2008), as renewed by resolution 1897 (2009), granted to States and regional\n               organizations cooperating with the TFG in the fight against piracy and armed\n               robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, for which advance notification has been\n               provided by the TFG to the Secretary-General;\n                    8.    Affirms that the authorizations renewed in this resolution apply only with\n               respect to the situation in Somalia and shall not affect the rights or obligations or\n               responsibilities of Member States under international law, including any rights or\n               obligations, under the Convention, with respect to any other situation, and\n               underscores in particular that this resolution shall not be considered as establishing\n               customary international law; and affirms further that such authorizations have been\n\n\n\n4                                                                                                       10-64902\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/1950 (2010)\n\n\n           renewed only following the receipt of the 20 October 2010 letter conveying the\n           consent of the TFG;\n                 9.   Further affirms that the measures imposed by paragraph 5 of resolution\n           733 (1992) and further elaborated upon by paragraphs 1 and 2 of resolution 1425\n           (2002) do not apply to weapons and military equipment destined for the sole use of\n           Member States and regional organizations undertaking measures in accordance with\n           paragraph 7 above or to supplies of technical assistance to Somalia solely for the\n           purposes set out in paragraph 6 above which have been exempted from those\n           measures in accordance with the procedure set out in paragraphs 11 (b) and 12 of\n           resolution 1772 (2007);\n                 10. Requests that cooperating States take appropriate steps to ensure that the\n           activities they undertake pursuant to the authorizations in paragraph 7 do not have\n           the practical effect of denying or impairing the right of innocent passage to the ships\n           of any third State;\n                 11. Calls on Member States to assist Somalia, at the request of the TFG and\n           with notification to the Secretary-General, to strengthen capacity in Somalia,\n           including regional authorities, to bring to justice those who are using Somali\n           territory to plan, facilitate, or undertake criminal acts of piracy and armed robbery at\n           sea, and stresses that any measures undertaken pursuant to this paragraph shall be\n           consistent with applicable international human rights law;\n                 12. Calls upon all States, and in particular flag, port, and coastal States,\n           States of the nationality of victims, and perpetrators of piracy and armed robbery,\n           and other States with relevant jurisdiction under international law and national\n           legislation, to cooperate in determining jurisdiction, and in the investigation and\n           prosecution of all persons responsible for acts of piracy and armed robbery off the\n           coast of Somalia, including anyone who incites or facilitates an act of piracy,\n           consistent with applicable international law including international human rights\n           law to ensure that all pirates handed over to judicial authorities are subject to a\n           judicial process, and to render assistance by, among other actions, providing\n           disposition and logistics assistance with respect to persons under their jurisdiction\n           and control, such as victims and witnesses and persons detained as a result of\n           operations conducted under this resolution;\n                 13. Calls upon all States to criminalize piracy under their domestic law and\n           to favourably consider the prosecution of suspected, and imprisonment of convicted,\n           pirates apprehended off the coast of Somalia, consistent with applicable\n           international law including international human rights law;\n                 14. Reaffirms its interest in the continued consideration of all seven options\n           for prosecuting suspected pirates described in the Secretary-General’s report\n           (S/2010/394) which provide for different levels of international participation, taking\n           into account further new information and observations from the Secretary-General\n           based on the consultations being conducted by his Special Adviser on Legal Issues\n           Related to Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, with a view to taking further steps to\n           ensure that pirates are held accountable, emphasizing the need for strengthened\n           cooperation of States, regional, and international organizations in achieving this\n           goal, and encourages the CGPCS to continue its discussions in this regard;\n\n\n\n\n10-64902                                                                                                         5\n\nS/RES/1950 (2010)\n\n\n                    15. Urges all States to take appropriate actions under their existing domestic\n               law to prevent the illicit financing of acts of piracy and the laundering of its\n               proceeds;\n                    16. Urges States, in cooperation with INTERPOL and Europol, to further\n               investigate international criminal networks involved in piracy off the coast of\n               Somalia, including those responsible for illicit financing and facilitation;\n                     17. Stresses in this context the need to support the investigation and\n               prosecution of those who illicitly finance, plan, organize, or unlawfully profit from\n               pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia;\n                     18. Commends the establishment of the Trust Fund Supporting the Initiatives\n               of States Countering Piracy off the Coast of Somalia and the International Maritime\n               Organization (IMO) Djibouti Code Trust Fund (Multi-donor trust fund — Japan\n               initiated) and urges both state and non-state actors affected by piracy, most notably\n               the international shipping community, to contribute to them;\n                     19.

    Recalling the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the situation in the buffer\n               zone would be improved if both sides accepted the 1989 aide memoire used by the\n

Calls upon the Government of Iraq to work closely with the Secretary-General to finalize the full and effective transition to a post-Development Fund\n               mechanism by or before 30 June 2011, which takes into account IMF stand-by\n               arrangement requirements, includes external auditing arrangements and ensures that\n               Iraq will continue to meet its obligations as established in the provisions of\n               paragraph 21 of resolution 1483 (2003); further requests that the Government of\n               Iraq provide a written report to the council no later than 1 May 2011 on progress\n               towards the transition to a post-Development Fund mechanism;\n                     5.

It subsequently submitted its second\n           and third reports on the progress that had been made. In the third report, details\n           were given of the parts of the action plan that had been completed and those that\n           remained incomplete. Reference was also made to the situation in Iraq and the fact\n           that the delay in the formation of a new Government after the legislative elections\n           that took place on 7 March 2010 had, in one way or another, affected the ability of\n           Government institutions to take rapid and effective action with regard to the\n           comprehensive implementation of the action plan.\n                 On the basis of the foregoing, and in order to make it possible to ensure the\n           comprehensive implementation of the action plan and a smooth transition to the\n           successor arrangements, the Government of Iraq is once more in need of the\n           assistance of the international community. It therefore hopes that the Security\n           Council will extend for a further and final six months, ending on 30 June 2011,\n           immunity for the Development Fund for Iraq, on the basis of the arrangements set\n           forth in Security Council resolution 1483 (2003), paragraph 20.\n                 I should be grateful if you would circulate this letter to the members of the\n           Council with the greatest possible expedition and include it as an annex to the\n           resolution currently being drafted on Iraq.\n\n                                                                (Signed) Nuri Kamel al-Maliki\n                                                          Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq\n                                                                     Baghdad, December 2010\n\n\n\n\n10-69483                                                                                                       3\n", "text_length": 10174, "title": "Security Council resolution 1956 (2010) [on termination of the arrangements for depositing into the Development Fund for Iraq proceeds from export sales of petroleum, petroleum products and natural gas]", "agenda_information": "S/65 [119] IRAQ SITUATION", "subjects": "Development Fund for Iraq|Development Fund for Iraq.

and encouraging further such efforts,\n                 Welcoming the inclusion of women in peacekeeping missions in civil, military\n           and police functions, recognizing that their presence may encourage women from\n           local communities to report acts of sexual violence,\n                 Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 24 November 2010\n           (S/2010/604) and stressing that the present resolution does not seek to make any\n           legal determination as to whether situations that are referred to in the Secretary-General’s report are or are not armed conflicts within the context of the Geneva\n           Conventions and the Additional Protocols thereto, nor does it prejudge the legal\n           status of non-State parties involved in these situations,\n                 1.    Reaffirms that sexual violence, when used or commissioned as a tactic of\n           war or as a part of a widespread or systematic attack against civilian populations,\n           can significantly exacerbate and prolong situations of armed conflict and may\n           impede the restoration of international peace and security; affirms in this regard that\n           effective steps to prevent and respond to such acts of sexual violence can\n           significantly contribute to the maintenance of international peace and security; and\n           expresses its readiness, when considering situations on the agenda of the Council, to\n           take, where necessary, appropriate steps to address widespread or systematic sexual\n           violence in situations of armed conflict;\n                 2.

Decides that the provisions of this resolution and the Statutes of the\n               Mechanism and of the ICTY and ICTR shall be subject to the transitional\n               arrangements set out in Annex 2 to this resolution;\n                     3.   Requests the ICTY and the ICTR to take all possible measures to\n               expeditiously complete all their remaining work as provided by this resolution no\n               later than 31 December 2014, to prepare their closure and to ensure a smooth\n               transition to the Mechanism, including through advance teams in each of the\n               Tribunals;\n                     4.   Decides that, as of the commencement date of each branch referred to in\n               paragraph 1, the Mechanism shall continue the jurisdiction, rights and obligations\n               and essential functions of the ICTY and the ICTR, respectively, subject to the\n               provisions of this resolution and the Statute of the Mechanism, and all contracts and\n               international agreements concluded by the United Nations in relation to the ICTY\n               and the ICTR, and still in force as of the relevant commencement date, shall\n               continue in force mutatis mutandis in relation to the Mechanism;\n                    5.   Requests the Secretary-General to submit at the earliest possible date, but\n               no later than 30 June 2011, draft Rules of Procedure and Evidence of the\n               Mechanism, which shall be based on the Tribunals’ Rules of Procedure and\n               Evidence subject to the provisions of this resolution and the Statute of the\n               Mechanism, for consideration and adoption by the judges of the Mechanism;\n                    6.

Decides that the determination of the seats of the branches of the\n               Mechanism is subject to the conclusion of appropriate arrangements between the\n               United Nations and the host countries of the branches of the Mechanism acceptable\n               to the Security Council;\n                     8.    Recalls the obligation of States to cooperate with the Tribunals, and in\n               particular to comply without undue delay with requests for assistance in the\n               location, arrest, detention, surrender and transfer of accused persons;\n                    9.   Decides that all States shall cooperate fully with the Mechanism in\n               accordance with the present resolution and the Statute of the Mechanism and that\n               consequently all States shall take any measures necessary under their domestic law\n               to implement the provisions of the present resolution and the Statute of the\n\n\n\n2                                                                                                      10-70608\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/1966 (2010)\n\n\n           Mechanism, including the obligation of States to comply with requests for\n           assistance or orders issued by the Mechanism pursuant to its Statute;\n                 10. Urges all States, especially States where fugitives are suspected to be at\n           large, to further intensify cooperation with and render all necessary assistance to the\n           Tribunals and the Mechanism, as appropriate, in particular to achieve the arrest and\n           surrender of all remaining fugitives as soon as possible;\n                 11. Urges the Tribunals and the Mechanism to actively undertake every\n           effort to refer those cases which do not involve the most senior leaders suspected of\n           being most responsible for crimes to competent national jurisdictions in accordance\n           with their respective Statutes and Rules of Procedure and Evidence;\n                12. Calls upon all States to cooperate to the maximum extent possible in\n           order to receive referred cases from the Tribunals and the Mechanism;\n                  13. Requests the Secretary-General to implement the present resolution and\n           to make practical arrangements for the effective functioning of the Mechanism from\n           the first commencement date referred to in paragraph 1, in particular to initiate no\n           later than 30 June 2011 the procedures for the selection of the roster of judges of the\n           Mechanism, as provided in its Statute;\n                14.

Requests the Tribunals and the Mechanism to cooperate with the\n           countries of the former Yugoslavia and with Rwanda, as well as with interested\n           entities to facilitate the establishment of information and documentation centres by\n           providing access to copies of public records of the archives of the Tribunals and the\n           Mechanism, including through their websites;\n                16. Requests the President of the Mechanism to submit an annual report to\n           the Security Council and to the General Assembly, and the President and the\n           Prosecutor of the Mechanism to submit six-monthly reports to the Security Council\n           on the progress of the work of the Mechanism;\n                17. Decides that the Mechanism shall operate for an initial period of four\n           years from the first commencement date referred to in paragraph 1, and to review\n           the progress of the work of the Mechanism, including in completing its functions,\n           before the end of this initial period and every two years thereafter, and further\n           decides that the Mechanism shall continue to operate for subsequent periods of two\n           years following each such review, unless the Security Council decides otherwise;\n                18. Underlines its intention to decide on the modalities for the exercise of\n           any remaining residual functions of the Mechanism upon the completion of its\n           operation;\n                19.

established by the Security Council acting under Chapter VII of the\n               Charter of the United Nations to carry out residual functions of the International\n               Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Serious Violations of\n               International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former\n               Yugoslavia since 1991 (hereinafter “ICTY”) and the International Criminal Tribunal\n               for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Genocide and Other Serious\n               Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of Rwanda\n               and Rwandan citizens responsible for genocide and other such violations committed\n               in the territory of neighbouring States, between 1 January 1994 and 31 December\n               1994 (hereinafter “ICTR”), the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal\n               Tribunals (hereinafter “the Mechanism”) shall function in accordance with the\n               provisions of the present Statute,\n\n               Article 1: Competence of the Mechanism\n               1.    The Mechanism shall continue the material, territorial, temporal and personal\n               jurisdiction of the ICTY and the ICTR as set out in Articles 1 to 8 of the ICTY\n               Statute and Articles 1 to 7 of the ICTR Statute, 1 as well as the rights and\n               obligations, of the ICTY and the ICTR, subject to the provisions of the present\n               Statute.\n               2.   The Mechanism shall have the power to prosecute, in accordance with the\n               provisions of the present Statute, the persons indicted by the ICTY or the ICTR who\n               are among the most senior leaders suspected of being most responsible for the\n               crimes covered by paragraph 1 of this Article, considering the gravity of the crimes\n               charged and the level of responsibility of the accused.\n               3.   The Mechanism shall have the power to prosecute, in accordance with the\n               provisions of the present Statute, the persons indicted by the ICTY or the ICTR who\n               are not among the most senior leaders covered by paragraph 2 of this Article,\n               provided that the Mechanism may only, in accordance with the provisions of the\n               present Statute, proceed to try such persons itself after it has exhausted all\n               reasonable efforts to refer the case as provided in Article 6 of the present Statute.\n               4.   The Mechanism shall have the power to prosecute, in accordance with the\n               provisions of the present Statute,\n                    (a) any person who knowingly and wilfully interferes or has interfered with\n               the administration of justice by the Mechanism or the Tribunals, and to hold such\n               person in contempt; or\n                    (b) a witness who knowingly and wilfully gives or has given false testimony\n               before the Mechanism or the Tribunals.\n\n\n\n         __________________\n              1 See Articles 1 to 8 ICTY Statute (S/RES/827 (1993) and Annex to S/25704 and Add.17658\n\n               (1993)) and Articles 1 to 7 ICTR Statute (Annex to S/RES/955 (1994)).\n\n\n6                                                                                                       10-70608\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/1966 (2010)\n\n\n           Before proceeding to try such persons, the Mechanism shall consider referring the\n           case to the authorities of a State in accordance with Article 6 of the present Statute,\n           taking into account the interests of justice and expediency.\n           5.   The Mechanism shall not have the power to issue any new indictments against\n           persons other than those covered by this Article.\n\n           Article 2: Functions of the Mechanism\n           The Mechanism shall continue the functions of the ICTY and of the ICTR, as set out\n           in the present Statute (“residual functions”), during the period of its operation.\n\n           Article 3: Structure and Seats of the Mechanism\n           The Mechanism shall have two branches, one branch for the ICTY and one branch\n           for the ICTR, respectively. The branch for the ICTY shall have its seat in The\n           Hague. The branch for the ICTR shall have its seat in Arusha.\n\n           Article 4: Organization of the Mechanism\n           The Mechanism shall consist of the following organs:\n               (a) The Chambers, comprising a Trial Chamber for each branch of the\n           Mechanism and an Appeals Chamber common to both branches of the Mechanism;\n                (b)   The Prosecutor common to both branches of the Mechanism;\n                (c) The Registry, common to both branches of the Mechanism, to provide\n           administrative services for the Mechanism, including the Chambers and the\n           Prosecutor.\n\n           Article 5: Concurrent Jurisdiction\n           1.   The Mechanism and national courts shall have concurrent jurisdiction to\n           prosecute persons covered by Article 1 of this Statute.\n           2.    The Mechanism shall have primacy over national courts in accordance with the\n           present Statute. At any stage of the procedure involving a person covered by\n           Article 1 paragraph 2 of this Statute, the Mechanism may formally request national\n           courts to defer to its competence in accordance with the present Statute and the\n           Rules of Procedure and Evidence of the Mechanism.\n\n           Article 6: Referral of Cases to National Jurisdictions\n           1.   The Mechanism shall have the power, and shall undertake every effort, to refer\n           cases involving persons covered by paragraph 3 of Article 1 of this Statute to the\n           authorities of a State in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article. The\n           Mechanism shall have the power also to refer cases involving persons covered by\n           paragraph 4 of Article 1 of this Statute.\n           2.     After an indictment has been confirmed and prior to the commencement of\n           trial, irrespective of whether or not the accused is in the custody of the Mechanism,\n           the President may designate a Trial Chamber which shall determine whether the case\n           should be referred to the authorities of a State:\n                (i)   in whose territory the crime was committed; or\n\n\n\n10-70608                                                                                                        7\n\nS/RES/1966 (2010)\n\n\n                    (ii)   in which the accused was arrested; or\n                    (iii) having jurisdiction and being willing and adequately prepared to accept\n                    such a case, so that those authorities should forthwith refer the case to the\n                    appropriate court for trial within that State.\n               3.    In determining whether to refer a case involving a person covered by\n               paragraph 3 of Article 1 of this Statute in accordance with paragraph 2 above, the\n               Trial Chamber shall, consistent with Security Council resolution 1534 (2004),\n               consider the gravity of the crimes charged and the level of responsibility of the\n               accused.\n               4.    The Trial Chamber may order such referral proprio motu or at the request of\n               the Prosecutor, after having given to the Prosecutor and, where applicable, the\n               accused, the opportunity to be heard and after being satisfied that the accused will\n               receive a fair trial and that the death penalty will not be imposed or carried out.\n               5.    The Mechanism shall monitor cases referred to national courts by the ICTY,\n               the ICTR, and those referred in accordance with this Article, with the assistance of\n               international and regional organisations and bodies.\n               6.     After an order referring a case has been issued by the ICTY, the ICTR or the\n               Mechanism and before the accused is found guilty or acquitted by a national court,\n               where it is clear that the conditions for referral of the case are no longer met and it\n               is in the interests of justice, the Trial Chamber may, at the request of the Prosecutor\n               or proprio motu and upon having given to the State authorities concerned the\n               opportunity to be heard, revoke the order and make a formal request for deferral.\n\n               Article 7: Non bis in Idem\n               1.    No person shall be tried before a national court for acts constituting serious\n               violations of international humanitarian law under the present Statute, for which he\n               or she has already been tried by the ICTY, the ICTR or the Mechanism.\n               2.   A person covered by Article 1 of this Statute who has been tried before a\n               national court for acts constituting serious violations of international humanitarian\n               law may be subsequently tried by the Mechanism only if:\n                    (a) The act for which he or she was tried was characterized as an ordinary\n               crime; or\n                    (b) The national court proceedings were not impartial or independent, were\n               designed to shield the accused from international criminal responsibility, or the case\n               was not diligently prosecuted.\n               3.    In considering the penalty to be imposed on a person convicted of a crime\n               under the present Statute, the Mechanism shall take into account the extent to which\n               any penalty imposed by a national court on the same person for the same act has\n               already been served.\n\n               Article 8: Roster of Judges\n               1.  The Mechanism shall have a roster of 25 independent judges (“judges of the\n               Mechanism”), not more than two of whom may be nationals of the same State.\n\n\n\n\n8                                                                                                        10-70608\n\n                                                                                               S/RES/1966 (2010)\n\n\n           2.    A person who for the purposes of membership of the roster could be regarded\n           as a national of more than one State shall be deemed to be a national of the State in\n           which that person ordinarily exercises civil and political rights.\n           3.    The judges of the Mechanism shall only be present at the seats of the branches\n           of the Mechanism as necessary at the request of the President to exercise the\n           functions requiring their presence. In so far as possible, and as decided by the\n           President, the functions may be exercised remotely, away from the seats of the\n           branches of the Mechanism.\n           4.    The judges of the Mechanism shall not receive any remuneration or other\n           benefits for being on the roster. The terms and conditions of service of the judges\n           for each day on which they exercise their functions for the Mechanism shall be\n           those of the judges ad hoc of the International Court of Justice. The terms and\n           conditions of service of the President of the Mechanism shall be those of the judges\n           of the International Court of Justice.\n\n           Article 9: Qualification of Judges\n           1.    The judges shall be persons of high moral character, impartiality and integrity\n           who possess the qualifications required in their respective countries for appointment\n           to the highest judicial offices. Particular account shall be taken of experience as\n           judges of the ICTY or the ICTR.\n           2.    In the composition of the Trial and Appeals Chambers, due account shall be\n           taken of the experience of the judges in criminal law, international law, including\n           international humanitarian law and human rights law.\n\n           Article 10: Election of Judges\n           1.     The judges of the Mechanism shall be elected by the General Assembly from a\n           list submitted by the Security Council, in the following manner:\n                 (a) The Secretary-General shall invite nominations for judges, preferably\n           from among persons with experience as judges of the ICTY or the ICTR, from\n           States Members of the United Nations and non-member States maintaining\n           permanent observer missions at United Nations Headquarters;\n                 (b) Within sixty days of the date of the invitation of the Secretary-General,\n           each State may nominate up to two candidates meeting the qualifications set out in\n           Article 9 paragraph 1 of the Statute;\n                 (c) The Secretary-General shall forward the nominations received to the\n           Security Council.

law,\n                     Commending those States that have amended their domestic law in order to\n               criminalize piracy and facilitate the prosecution of suspected pirates in their national\n               courts, consistent with applicable international law, including human rights law, and\n               stressing the need for States to continue their efforts in this regard,\n                     Noting with concern at the same time that the domestic law of a number of\n               States lacks provisions criminalizing piracy and/or procedural provisions for\n               effective criminal prosecution of suspected pirates,\n                    Further expressing concern over a large number of persons suspected of piracy\n               having to be released without facing justice, reaffirming that the failure to prosecute\n               persons responsible for acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of\n               Somalia undermines anti-piracy efforts of the international community and being\n               determined to create conditions to ensure that pirates are held accountable,\n                     Recognizing the urgent need to undertake decisive further steps to boost\n               anti-piracy efforts,\n                    Expressing its gratitude for the work done by the Special Adviser to the\n

Determining that the incidents of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast\n           of Somalia exacerbate the situation in Somalia, which continues to constitute a\n           threat to international peace and security in the region,\n                1.    Welcomes the report of the Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on\n           Legal Issues Related to Piracy off the coast of Somalia;\n                 2.   Recognizes that the ongoing instability in Somalia is one of the\n           underlying causes of the problem of piracy and contributes to the problem of piracy\n           and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and stresses the need for a\n           comprehensive response to tackle piracy and its underlying causes by the\n           international community;\n                3.    Calls upon States to cooperate, as appropriate, on the issue of hostagetaking;\n                 4.

Invites States and regional organizations to continue their support and\n           assistance to Somalia in its efforts to develop national fisheries and port activities in\n           line with the Regional Plan of Action, and in this regard emphasizes the importance\n           of the earliest possible delimitation of Somalia’s maritime spaces in accordance with\n           the Convention;\n                 7.    Recalls preambular paragraphs 6 and 7 above and operative paragraph 2\n           of resolution 1950 (2010), and requests the Secretary-General to report within six\n           months on the protection of Somali natural resources and waters, and on alleged\n           illegal fishing and illegal dumping, including of toxic substances, off the coast of\n           Somalia, taking into account the studies on this matter previously conducted by the\n           United Nations Environmental Programme and other competent agencies and\n           organizations, and expresses its readiness to keep the matter under review;\n                 8.

Urges all States, including States in the region, to criminalize piracy\n               under their domestic law, emphasizing the importance of criminalizing incitement,\n               facilitation, conspiracy and attempts to commit acts of piracy;\n                     14. Recognizes that piracy is a crime subject to universal jurisdiction and in\n               that regard reiterates its call on States to favourably consider the prosecution of\n               suspected, and imprisonment of convicted, pirates apprehended off the coast of\n               Somalia, consistent with applicable international human rights law;\n                     15. Underlines the need to investigate and prosecute those who illicitly\n               finance, plan, organize, or unlawfully profit from pirate attacks off the coast of\n               Somalia, recognizing that individuals and entities who incite or intentionally\n               facilitate an act of piracy are themselves engaging in piracy as defined under\n               international law and expresses its intention to keep under review the possibility of\n               applying targeted sanctions against such individuals and entities if they meet the\n               listing criteria set out in paragraph 8 resolution 1844 (2008);\n                     16. Invites States, individually or in cooperation with regional organizations,\n               UNODC and INTERPOL, to examine their domestic legal frameworks for detention\n               at sea of suspected pirates to ensure that their laws provide reasonable procedures,\n               consistent with applicable international human rights law, and also invites States to\n               examine domestic procedures for the preservation of evidence that may be used in\n               criminal proceedings to ensure the admissibility of such evidence, and encourages\n               the CGPCS to contribute to this work;\n                      17. Further invites States and regional organizations, individually or in\n               cooperation with, among others, UNODC and INTERPOL, to assist Somalia and\n               other States of the region in strengthening their counter-piracy law enforcement\n               capacities, including implementation of anti-money-laundering laws, the\n               establishment of Financial Investigation Units and strengthening forensic capacities,\n               as tools against international criminal networks involved in piracy, and stresses in\n               this context the need to support the investigation and prosecution of those who\n               illicitly finance, plan, organize, or unlawfully profit from pirate attacks off the coast\n               of Somalia;\n\n\n4                                                                                                          11-29544\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/1976 (2011)\n\n\n                 18. Underlines the importance of continuing to enhance the collection,\n           preservation and transmission to competent authorities of evidence of acts of piracy\n           and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and welcomes further work of\n           IMO, INTERPOL and industry groups to assist in providing guidance to seafarers\n           on preservation of crime scenes following acts of piracy, noting the importance for\n           the successful prosecution of acts of piracy of enabling seafarers to give evidence in\n           criminal proceedings;\n                 19. Urges States and international organizations to share evidence and\n           information for anti-piracy law enforcement purposes with a view to ensuring\n           effective prosecution of suspected, and imprisonment of convicted, pirates;\n                 20. Requests States, UNODC and regional organizations to consider,\n           consistent with applicable rules of international human rights law, measures aimed\n           at facilitating the transfer of suspected pirates for trial, and convicted pirates for\n           imprisonment, including through relevant transfer agreements or arrangements, and\n           commends the efforts to date of the CGPCS in this regard;\n                 21. Welcomes the readiness of the national and regional administrations of\n           Somalia to cooperate with each other and with States who have prosecuted\n           suspected pirates with a view to enabling convicted pirates to be repatriated back to\n           Somalia under suitable prisoner transfer arrangements, consistent with applicable\n           international law including international human rights law, recognizes in this regard\n           the discussions between the Government of Seychelles and the national and regional\n           administrations of Somalia, which resulted in an agreement in principle of a legal\n           framework for the transfer of convicted pirates to Somalia after their prosecution\n           and conviction in the Seychelles, and encourages States to continue their efforts in\n           this regard;\n                 22. Urges States, UNODC, based on support from donors, and regional\n           organizations to consolidate international assistance to increase prison capacity in\n           Somalia, including by constructing in the short-term additional prisons in Puntland\n           and Somaliland, and requests UNODC to continue to provide training for prison\n           staff in accordance with relevant international human rights standards and to\n           continue to provide monitoring of compliance with such standards;\n                 23.

Emphasizes the need to ensure effective coordination of anti-piracy\n           efforts and in that regard requests the Secretary-General to strengthen UNPOS as\n           the United Nations focal point for counter-piracy, including the Kampala process;\n                 25. Supports the ongoing efforts by regional States in the development of\n           anti-piracy courts or chambers in the region, welcomes support by States and\n           international organizations, in consultation with the CGPCS, to such efforts, and\n           requests the Secretary-General to take appropriate measures to assist States and\n           international organizations in such activities;\n                 26. Decides to urgently consider the establishment of specialized Somali\n           courts to try suspected pirates both in Somalia and in the region, including an\n           extraterritorial Somali specialized anti-piracy court, as referred to in the\n           recommendations contained in the report of the Special Adviser to the Secretary-\n\n\n\n11-29544                                                                                                       5\n\nS/RES/1976 (2011)\n\n\n               General on Legal Issues Related to Piracy off the Coast of Somalia Mr. Jack Lang\n               (annex to document S/2011/30), consistent with applicable human rights law, and\n               requests the Secretary-General to report within two months on the modalities of\n               such prosecution mechanisms, including on the participation of international\n               personnel and on other international support and assistance, taking into account the\n               work of the CGPCS and in consultation with concerned regional States and\n               expresses its intention to take further decisions on this matter;\n                     27.

  subregional and international levels, as appropriate, in order to strengthen a global\n               response to the serious challenge and threat to international peace and security\n               posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of\n               delivery,\n                     Emphasizing the need for States to take all appropriate national measures in\n               accordance with their national authorities and legislation, and consistent with\n               international law, to strengthen export controls, to control access to intangible\n               transfers of technology and to information that could be used for weapons of mass\n               destruction and their means of delivery, to prevent proliferation financing and\n               shipments, and to secure sensitive materials,\n                     Endorsing the work already carried out by the Committee established pursuant\n               to resolution 1540 (2004), hereafter the 1540 Committee, in accordance with its\n               programmes of work, including the establishment of the working groups for\n               facilitating implementation of the Programme of Work,\n                    Recognizing States’ progress in implementing resolution 1540 (2004), while\n               noting that States have taken fewer measures in some of its areas,\n                     Endorsing also the valuable activities of the 1540 Committee with relevant\n               international regional and subregional organizations,\n                     Taking note of international efforts towards full implementation of resolution\n               1540 (2004), including on preventing the financing of proliferation-related\n               activities, and taking into consideration the guidance of the framework of the\n               Financial Action Task Force (FATF),\n                    Noting that not all States have presented to the 1540 Committee their national\n               reports on implementation of resolution 1540 (2004),\n                     Further noting that the full implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) by all\n               States, including the adoption of national laws and measures to ensure\n               implementation of these laws, is a long-term task that will require continuous efforts\n               at national, regional and international levels,\n                     Recognizing, in that regard, the importance of dialogue between the 1540\n               Committee and Member States and stressing that direct contact is an effective means\n               of such dialogue,\n                     Recognizing that many States continue to require assistance in implementing\n               resolution 1540 (2004), emphasizing the importance of providing States, in response\n               to their requests, with effective assistance that meets their needs, and welcoming the\n               coordinating and facilitating role of the 1540 Committee in this regard,\n                     Stressing, in that regard, the need of enhanced assistance and collaboration\n               among States, between the 1540 Committee and States, and between the 1540\n               Committee and relevant international, regional and subregional organizations in\n               assisting States to implement resolution 1540 (2004),\n\n\n\n2                                                                                                         11-30679\n\n

acts of\n           nuclear terrorism including through increased cooperation and full implementation\n           of the relevant international conventions, and through appropriate measures to\n           reinforce the existing legal framework with a view to ensure that those committing\n           offences of nuclear terrorism are effectively held accountable,\n                  Endorsing the 2009 comprehensive review of the status of implementation of\n           resolution 1540 and taking note of the findings and recommendations contained in\n           its final document,\n                Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations:\n                 1.    Reiterates its decisions in and the requirements of resolution 1540\n           (2004), and re-emphasizes the importance for all States to implement fully that\n           resolution;\n                2.    Decides to extend the mandate of the 1540 Committee for a period of\n           10 years until 25 April 2021;\n                 3.

more than 60 million people have been infected, more than 25 million\n               people have died and more than 16 million children have been orphaned by AIDS,\n                     Recalling its meeting of 10 January 2000, on “The situation in Africa: the\n               impact of AIDS on peace and security in Africa” and its subsequent meetings on\n               “HIV/AIDS and international

 Reaffirming the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS of 2001\n               (A/RES/S-26/2), and the Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS of 2006\n               (A/RES/60/262) including its commitment towards the goal of universal access to\n               prevention, treatment, care and support which will require renewed efforts at, local,\n               national, regional and international levels,\n                     Recalling the MDG Summit Outcome Document (A/RES/65/1) and the report\n               of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations (A/65/19),\n

(A/65/797),\n                    Recognizing that HIV poses one of the most formidable challenges to the\n               development, progress and stability of societies and requires an exceptional and\n               comprehensive global response, and noting with satisfaction the unprecedented\n               global response of Member States, public and private partnerships,\n               non-governmental organizations and the important roles of civil society,\n               communities, and persons living with and affected by HIV in shaping the response,\n                   Emphasizing the important roles of the General Assembly and the Economic\n               and Social Council in addressing HIV and AIDS, and the continuing need for\n\n\n\n11-36566 (E)\n*1136566*\n\nS/RES/1983 (2011)\n\n\n               coordinated efforts of all relevant United Nations entities in line with their\n               respective mandates, to assist, in the global efforts against the epidemic,\n                     Commending the efforts by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS\n               (UNAIDS) to coordinate and intensify the global, regional, national and local\n               response to HIV and AIDS in all appropriate forums, and the pivotal role of the\n               Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria in mobilizing and providing\n               international assistance, including resources, to respond to HIV and AIDS,\n                     Recognizing that the spread of HIV can have a uniquely devastating impact on\n               all sectors and levels of society, and that in conflict and post-conflict situations,\n               these impacts may be felt more profoundly,\n                    Further recognizing that conditions of violence and instability in conflict and\n               post-conflict situations can exacerbate the HIV epidemic, inter alia, through large\n               movements of people, widespread uncertainty over conditions, conflict-related\n               sexual violence, and reduced access to medical care,\n                    Recognizing that women and girls are particularly affected by HIV,\n                     Underlining the importance of concerted efforts towards ending conflictrelated sexual and gender-based violence, empowering women in an effort to reduce\n               their risk of exposure to HIV, and curbing vertical transmission of HIV from mother\n               to child in conflict and post-conflict situations,\n                    Noting that the protection of civilians by peacekeeping operations, where\n               mandated, can contribute to an integrated response to HIV and AIDS, inter alia,\n               through the prevention of conflict-related sexual violence,\n                     Underlining, the continuing negative impact of HIV on the health and fitness\n               of UN missions personnel, and concerned that available statistics indicate that\n               health-related issues, have become a leading cause of fatality in the field since 2000,\n                      Welcoming the efforts to implement HIV prevention, treatment, care and\n               support, including voluntary and confidential testing and counselling, programmes\n               by many Member States for their uniformed personnel and by the UN for its civilian\n               staff in preparation for deployment to UN missions,\n                     Bearing in mind the Council’s primary responsibility for the maintenance of\n               international peace and security,\n                     1.    Underlines that urgent and coordinated international action continues to\n               be required to curb the impact of the HIV epidemic in conflict and post-conflict\n               situations;\n                     2.    Notes in this context the need for effective and coordinated action at\n               local, national, regional and international levels to combat the epidemic and to\n               mitigate its impact and the need for a coherent UN response to assist Member States\n               to address this issue;\n                     3.    Notes that the disproportionate burden of HIV and AIDS on women is\n               one of the persistent obstacles and challenges to gender equality and empowerment\n               of women, and urges Member States, United Nations entities, international financial\n               institutions and other relevant stakeholders, to support the development and\n               strengthening of capacities of national health systems and civil society networks in\n\n\n\n\n2                                                                                                        11-36566\n\n                                                                                               S/RES/1983 (2011)\n\n\n           order to provide sustainable assistance to women living with or affected by HIV in\n           conflict and post-conflict situations;\n                 4.   Recognizes that UN peacekeeping operations can be important\n           contributors to an integrated response to HIV and AIDS, welcomes the incorporation\n           of HIV awareness in mandated activities and outreach projects for vulnerable\n           communities, and encourages further such actions;\n                 5.    Stresses the importance of strong support by UN Mission civilian and\n           military leadership for HIV and AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support, as a\n           factor for reducing the stigma and discrimination associated with HIV and AIDS;\n                 6.    Requests the Secretary-General to consider HIV-related needs of people\n           living with, affected by, and vulnerable to HIV, including women and girls, in his\n           activities pertinent to the prevention and resolution of conflict, the maintenance of\n           international peace and security, the prevention and response to sexual violence\n           related to conflict, and post-conflict peacebuilding;\n                 7.   Encourages the incorporation, as appropriate, of HIV prevention,\n           treatment, care, and support, including voluntary and confidential counselling and\n           testing programmes in the implementation of mandated tasks of peacekeeping\n           operations, including assistance to national institutions, to security sector reform\n           (SSR) and to disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) processes; and\n           the need to ensure the continuation of such prevention, treatment, care and support\n           during and after transitions to other configurations of UN presence;\n                8.    Underlines the need to intensify HIV prevention activities within UN\n           missions; takes note of the “DPKO/DFS Policy Directive on the Role and Functions\n           of HIV/AIDS Units in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations”, and requests the\n           Secretary-General to ensure the implementation of HIV and AIDS awareness and\n           prevention programmes for UN missions;\n                9.   Requests the Secretary-General to continue and strengthen efforts to\n           implement the policy of zero tolerance of sexual exploitation and abuse in UN\n           missions;\n                 10. Welcomes and encourages continued cooperation among Member States\n           through their relevant national bodies, for the development and implementation of\n           sustainable HIV and AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support, capacitybuilding, and programme and policy development for uniformed and civilian\n           personnel to be deployed to UN missions;\n               11.

            Echoing the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the responsibility for finding\n               a solution lies first and foremost with the Cypriots themselves, and reaffirming the\n

       Convinced of the many important benefits for all Cypriots that would flow\n               from a comprehensive and durable Cyprus settlement, urging the two sides and their\n               leaders to foster positive public rhetoric, and encouraging them clearly to explain\n               the benefits of the settlement, as well as the need for increased flexibility and\n               compromise in order to secure it, to both communities well in advance of any\n               eventual referenda,\n                    Considering that undermining the United Nations credibility

calling upon all parties to armed conflict to immediately cease such attacks and\n               threats;\n                     Recalling the provisions of the resolution of the General Assembly on “The\n               right to education in emergency situations” (A/RES/64/290) related to children in\n               armed conflict;\n                     Noting that Article 28 of the Convention on

achieving this right on the basis of equal\n               opportunity;\n                     1.   Strongly condemns all violations of applicable international law\n               involving the recruitment and use of children by parties to armed conflict, as well as\n               their re-recruitment, killing and maiming, rape and other sexual violence,\n               abductions, attacks against schools or hospitals and denial of humanitarian access by\n               parties to armed conflict and all other violations of international law committed\n               against children in situations of armed conflict;\n                     2.   Reaffirms that the monitoring and reporting mechanism will continue to\n               be implemented in situations listed in annex I and annex II (“the annexes”) to the\n               reports of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict, in line with the\n               principles set out in paragraph 2 of its resolution 1612 (2005), and that its\n               establishment and implementation shall not prejudge or imply a decision by the\n               Security Council as to whether or not to include a situation on its agenda;\n                    3.    Recalls paragraph 16 of its resolution 1379 (2001) and requests the\n               Secretary-General to also include in the annexes to his reports on children and\n               armed conflict those parties to armed conflict that engage, in contravention of\n               applicable international law;\n                    (a)   in recurrent attacks on schools and/or hospitals\n\n\n\n2                                                                                                        11-41118\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/1998 (2011)\n\n\n                 (b) in recurrent attacks or threats of attacks against protected persons in\n           relation to schools and/or hospitals in situations of armed conflict, bearing in mind\n           all other violations and abuses committed against children, and notes that the\n           present paragraph will apply to situations in accordance with the conditions set out\n           in paragraph 16 of its resolution 1379 (2001);\n                 4.   Urges parties to armed conflict to refrain from actions that impede\n           children’s access to education and to health services and requests the Secretary-General to continue to monitor and report, inter alia, on the military use of schools\n           and hospitals in contravention of international humanitarian law, as well as on\n           attacks against, and/or kidnapping of teachers and medical personnel;\n                5.

While noting that some parties to armed conflict have responded to its\n           call upon them to prepare and implement concrete time-bound action plans to halt\n           recruitment and use of children in violation of applicable international law;\n                 (a) Reiterates its call on parties to armed conflict listed in the annexes of the\n           Secretary-General’s report on children and armed conflict that have not already\n           done so to prepare and implement, without further delay, action plans to halt\n           recruitment and use of children and killing and maiming of children, in violation of\n           applicable international law, as well as rape and other sexual violence against\n           children;\n                 (b) Calls upon those parties that have existing action plans and have since\n           been listed for multiple violations to prepare and implement separate action plans,\n           as appropriate, to halt the killing and maiming of children, recurrent attacks on\n           schools and/or hospitals, recurrent attacks or threats of attacks against protected\n           persons in relation to schools and/or hospitals, in violation of applicable\n           international law, as well as rape and other sexual violence against children;\n                 (c) Calls upon those parties listed in the annexes of the Secretary-General’s\n           report on children and armed conflict that commit, in contravention of applicable\n           international law, recurrent attacks on schools and/or hospitals, recurrent attacks or\n           threats of attacks against protected persons in relation to schools and/or hospitals, in\n           situations of armed conflict, to prepare without delay, concrete time-bound action\n           plans to halt those violations and abuses;\n                (d) Further calls upon all parties listed in the annexes of the Secretary-General’s report on children and armed conflict, to address all other violations and\n           abuses committed against children and undertake specific commitments and\n           measures in this regard;\n                (e) Urges those parties listed in the annexes of the Secretary-General’s report\n           on children and armed conflict to implement the provisions contained in this\n           paragraph in close cooperation with the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict and the United Nations country-level task\n           forces on monitoring and reporting;\n\n\n\n\n11-41118                                                                                                         3\n\nS/RES/1998 (2011)\n\n                     7.

(TFIs) and\n               donors to be mutually accountable and transparent in the allocation of financial\n               resources,\n                    Calling for the end of the misappropriation of financial funds which\n               undermine the ability of local authorities to deliver services in Somalia,\n                    Determining that the situation in Somalia, Eritrea’s actions undermining peace\n               and reconciliation in Somalia as well as the dispute between Djibouti and Eritrea\n               continue to constitute a threat to international peace and security

Decides that the measures in paragraphs 1, 3, and 7 of resolution 1844\n           (2008) shall apply to individuals, and that the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 7 of\n           that resolution shall apply to entities, designated by the Committee:\n                 (a) as engaging in or providing support for acts that threaten the peace,\n           security or stability of Somalia, including acts that threaten the Djibouti Agreement\n           of 18 August 2008 or the political process, or threaten the TFIs or AMISOM by\n           force;\n                 (b) as having acted in violation of the general and complete arms embargo\n           reaffirmed in paragraph 6 of resolution 1844 (2008);\n                (c) as obstructing the delivery of humanitarian assistance to Somalia, or\n           access to, or distribution of, humanitarian assistance in Somalia;\n                 (d) as being political or military leaders recruiting or using children in armed\n           conflicts in Somalia in violation of applicable international law;\n                 (e) as being responsible for violations of applicable international law in\n           Somalia involving the targeting of civilians including children and women in\n           situations of armed conflict, including killing and maiming, sexual and genderbased violence, attacks on schools and hospitals and abduction and forced\n           displacement;\n                 2.   Considers that acts under paragraph 1 (a) above may include, but are not\n           limited to, the misappropriation of financial resources which undermines the\n           Transitional Federal Institutions’ ability to fulfil their obligations in delivering\n           services within the framework of the Djibouti Agreement;\n                 3.    Considers that all non-local commerce via Al-Shabaab controlled ports,\n           that constitutes financial support for a designated entity, poses a threat to the peace,\n           stability, and security of Somalia, and thereby individuals and entities engaged in\n           such commerce may be designated by the Committee and made subject to the\n           targeted measures established by resolution 1844 (2008);\n                4.    Calls upon the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) to consider\n           banning all trade by large merchant vessels with Al-Shabaab controlled ports;\n                 5.     Demands that all parties ensure full, safe and unhindered access for the\n           timely delivery of humanitarian aid to persons in need of assistance across Somalia,\n           underlines its grave concern at the worsening humanitarian situation in Somalia,\n           urges all parties and armed groups to take appropriate steps to ensure the safety and\n           security of humanitarian personnel and supplies, and expresses its readiness to apply\n           targeted sanctions against such individuals and entities if they meet the listing\n           criteria set out in paragraph 1 (c) above;\n                6.     Decides to extend the mandate of the Monitoring Group referred to in\n           paragraph 3 of resolution 1558 (2004), extended by paragraph 6 of resolution 1916,\n           and requests the Secretary-General to take the necessary administrative measures as\n           expeditiously as possible to re-establish the Monitoring Group for a period of\n           12 months from the date of this resolution, consisting of eight experts, drawing, as\n           appropriate, on the expertise of the members of the Monitoring Group established\n           pursuant to resolution 1916 (2010), and consistent with resolution 1907 (2009), in\n           order to fulfil its expanded mandate, this mandate being as follows:\n\n\n\n\n11-43903                                                                                                         3\n\nS/RES/2002 (2011)\n\n\n                    (a) to assist the Committee in monitoring the implementation of the\n               measures imposed in paragraph 1, 3, and 7 of 1844 (2008), including by reporting\n               any information on violations;

situation, while fragile, has improved since the adoption of its resolutions 1908,\n               1927 and 1944 (2010), allowing a partial drawdown of MINUSTAH’s military and\n               police

underlining national responsibility to provide clear guidance and priorities,\n                     Emphasizing the role of regional organizations in the ongoing process of\n               stabilization and reconstruction of Haiti and calling on MINUSTAH to continue to\n               work closely with regional and subregional organizations, international financial\n               institutions and other stakeholders, in particular the Organization of the American\n               States (OAS) and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM),\n                    Recognizing the

         expressing its concern that trends since the earthquake reveal an increase in all\n               major categories of crime, including murder, rape and kidnapping in Port-au-Prince\n               and the West Department,\n                    Acknowledging that sexual and gender-based violence remains a serious\n               concern, particularly in marginalized districts of

especially resolutions 1918 (2010) and 1976 (2011),\n                     Continuing to be gravely concerned by the growing threat that piracy and\n               armed robbery at sea against vessels off the coast of Somalia pose to the situation in\n               Somalia, States in the region and other States, as well as to international navigation,\n               the safety of commercial maritime routes and the safety of seafarers and other\n               persons, and also gravely concerned by the increased level of violence employed by\n               pirates and persons involved in armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia,\n                    Emphasizing the importance of finding a comprehensive solution to the\n               problem of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia,\n                     Stressing the need to build Somalia’s potential for sustainable economic\n               growth as a means to tackle the underlying causes of piracy, including poverty, thus\n               contributing to a durable eradication of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast\n               of Somalia and illegal activities connected therewith,\n

law, as reflected in the United Nations\n               Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 (Convention), in particular\n               its articles 100, 101 and 105, sets out the

           of Aden, and recognizing the commitment of signatory States to review their\n               national legislation with a view to ensuring that national laws to criminalize piracy\n               and armed robbery against ships, and adequate guidelines for the exercise of\n\n\n11-56103 (E)\n*1156103*\n\nS/RES/2015 (2011)\n\n\n               jurisdiction, conduct of investigations, and prosecutions of alleged offenders, are in\n               place,\n                     Commending those States that have amended their domestic law in order to\n               criminalize piracy and facilitate the prosecution of suspected pirates in their national\n               courts, consistent with applicable international law, including human rights law, and\n               stressing the need for States to continue their efforts in this regard,\n                     Noting with concern at the same time that the domestic law of a number of\n               States lacks provisions criminalizing piracy and/or procedural provisions for\n               effective criminal prosecution of suspected pirates,\n                   Reaffirming the importance of national prosecution of suspected pirates for\n               combating piracy off the coast of Somalia,\n                     Strongly condemning the continuing practice of hostage-taking by suspected\n               pirates operating off the coast of Somalia, expressing serious concern at the\n               inhuman conditions hostage face in captivity, recognizing the adverse impact on\n               their families, calling for the immediate release of all hostages, and noting the\n               importance of cooperation between Member States on the issue of hostage-taking\n               and the need for the prosecution of suspected pirates for taking hostages,\n                     Recognizing that despite the efforts to date by States to prosecute suspected\n               pirates at the national level, the ongoing work in this regard is still insufficient and\n               that more must be done to ensure that suspected pirates are effectively brought to\n               justice,\n                    Reiterating its concern over a large number of persons suspected of piracy\n               having to be released without facing justice, reaffirming that the failure to prosecute\n               persons responsible for acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of\n               Somalia undermines anti-piracy efforts of the international community and being\n               determined to create conditions to ensure that pirates are held accountable,\n                     Noting with interest the conclusion in the Secretary-General’s report on the\n               modalities for the establishment of specialized Somali anti-piracy courts\n               (S/2011/360) that, assuming that sufficient international assistance is provided,\n               piracy trials being conducted by courts in Somaliland and Puntland are expected to\n               reach international standards in about three years, and expressing its hope consistent\n               with the mentioned Secretary-General’s report that this timeline will be accelerated\n               if suitable experts, including those from the Somali diaspora, can be identified and\n               recruited,\n                    Welcoming the consultations between the United Nations and regional States,\n               including the Seychelles, Mauritius, and Tanzania, and the willingness expressed by\n               Tanzania to assist the international community, under the right conditions, to\n               prosecute suspected pirates in its territory,\n                     Determining that the incidents of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast\n               of Somalia exacerbate the situation in Somalia, which continues to constitute a\n               threat to international peace and security in the region,\n                     1.   Reaffirms that the ultimate goal of enhancing Somali responsibility and\n               active involvement in efforts to prosecute suspected pirates, as emphasized by the\n               Secretary-General’s Special Adviser on Legal Issues Related to Piracy off the Coast\n\n\n\n\n2                                                                                                         11-56103\n\n                                                                                                    S/RES/2015 (2011)\n\n\n           of Somalia in his report transmitted to the Security Council on 19 January 2011\n           (S/2011/30), remains highly relevant in the overall context of fighting piracy;\n                 2.   Recognizes the primary role of the Transitional Federal Government\n           (TFG) and the relevant Somali regional authorities in eradicating piracy off the\n           coast of Somalia;\n                 3.    Welcomes in this regard that the Somalia end of transition road map of\n           6 September 2011 includes developing counter-piracy policy and legislation in\n           conjunction with regional entities as a key task of the Transitional Federal\n           Institutions (TFI), and notes that the Security Council has made its future support to\n           the TFI contingent upon the completion of the tasks contained in the road map;\n                4.   Notes with appreciation the report of the Secretary-General on the\n           modalities for the establishment of specialized Somali anti-piracy courts\n           (S/2011/360) prepared pursuant to paragraph 26 of resolution 1976 (2011);\n                 5.    Reiterates its call upon all States, and in particular flag, port, and coastal\n           States, States of the nationality of victims as well as of perpetrators of piracy and\n           armed robbery, and other States with relevant jurisdiction under international law\n           and national legislation, to cooperate in determining jurisdiction, and in the\n           investigation and prosecution of all persons responsible for acts of piracy and armed\n           robbery off the coast of Somalia, including anyone who incites or facilitates an act\n           of piracy, consistent with applicable international law including human rights law;\n                6.    Calls upon States to cooperate also, as appropriate, on the prosecution of\n           suspected pirates for taking hostages;\n                 7.    Reiterates its request, as a matter of urgency, to the TFG and relevant\n           Somali regional authorities to elaborate, with the assistance of UNODC and UNDP,\n           and adopt a complete set of counter-piracy laws, including laws to prosecute those\n           who illicitly finance, plan, organize, facilitate or profit from pirate attacks, with a\n           view to ensuring the effective prosecution of suspected pirates and those associated\n           with piracy attacks in Somalia, the post-conviction transfer of pirates prosecuted\n           elsewhere to Somalia, and the imprisonment of convicted pirates in Somalia, as\n           soon as possible, and strongly urges the TFG and regional authorities of Somalia to\n           expeditiously address any other existing obstacles that impede progress in this\n           regard, and requests the TFG and relevant regional authorities of Somalia to provide\n           a report to the Security Council by 31 December 2011 on action taken in each of the\n           areas above;\n                 8.    Calls upon UNODC, UNDP and other international partners to further\n           their efforts to support the development of domestic legislation, agreements and\n           mechanisms that would allow the effective prosecution of suspected pirates, and the\n           transfer and imprisonment of convicted pirates;\n                 9.   Strongly urges States that have not already done so to criminalize piracy\n           under their domestic law, and reiterates its call on States to favourably consider the\n           prosecution of suspected, and imprisonment of convicted, pirates apprehended off\n           the coast of Somalia, consistent with applicable international law including\n           international human rights law;\n                 10. Urges States and international organizations to share evidence and\n           information for anti-piracy law enforcement purposes with a view to ensuring\n           effective prosecution of suspected, and imprisonment of convicted, pirates;\n\n\n11-56103                                                                                                           3\n\nS/RES/2015 (2011)\n\n\n                     11. Calls upon all Member States to report, no later than 31 December 2011,\n               to the Secretary-General on measures they have taken to criminalize piracy under\n               their domestic law and to prosecute and support the prosecution of individuals\n               suspected of piracy off the coast of Somalia and imprisonment of convicted pirates,\n               and requests the Secretary-General to compile this information and to circulate this\n               compilation as a document of the Security Council;\n                    12. Commends the ongoing work of UNODC and UNDP, as described in the\n               Secretary-General’s report, in supporting counter-piracy trials and increased prison\n               capacity in Somalia, consistent with the recommendation of the Secretary-General’s\n               Special Adviser on Legal Issues Related to Piracy of the Coast of Somalia;\n                    13. Reaffirms that the efforts to promote effective judicial mechanisms to\n               prosecute suspected pirates should be continued and intensified;\n                     14. Welcomes the undertaking of the Secretary-General, in connection with\n               his report (S/2011/360) to further proactively assist, at the request of the Security\n               Council, in the taking of appropriate next steps aimed at further enhancing counterpiracy prosecution efforts;\n                     15. Requests States and regional organizations to consider possible ways to\n               seek and allow for the effective contribution of the Somali diaspora to anti-piracy\n               efforts, in particular in the area of prosecution, as advised in the Secretary-General’s\n               report (S/2011/360);\n                     16. Decides to continue its consideration, as a matter of urgency, without\n               prejudice to any further steps to ensure that pirates are held accountable, of the\n               establishment of specialized anti-piracy courts in Somalia and other States in the\n               region with substantial international participation and/or support, and requests that\n               the Secretary-General, in conjunction with UNODC and UNDP, further consult with\n               Somalia and regional States willing to establish such anti-piracy courts on the kind\n               of international assistance, including the provision of international personnel, that\n               would be required to help make such courts operational; the procedural\n               arrangements required for transfer of apprehended pirates and related evidence; the\n               projected case capacity of such courts; and the projected timeline and costs for such\n               courts, and to provide to the Council in the light of such consultations within\n               90 days detailed implementation proposals for the establishment of such courts, as\n               appropriate;\n                     17. Underlines the importance for such courts to have jurisdiction to be\n               exercised over not only suspects captured at sea, but also anyone who incites or\n               intentionally facilitates piracy operations, including key figures of criminal\n               networks involved in piracy who illicitly plan, organize, facilitate, or finance and\n               profit from such attacks;\n                     18. Recognizes that any increase in prosecution capacity must necessarily be\n               accompanied by a related increase in prison capacity, and calls upon both Somali\n               authorities, UNODC, UNDP and other international partners to support the\n               construction and responsible operation of prisons in Somalia in accordance with\n               international law;\n                    19. Calls upon Member States, regional organizations and other appropriate\n               partners to support efforts to establish specialized anti-piracy courts in the region by\n               making or facilitating arrangements for the provision of international experts,\n\n\n\n4                                                                                                         11-56103\n\n                                                                                           S/RES/2015 (2011)\n\n\n           including those from the Somali diaspora, through secondment or otherwise, and to\n           otherwise support the work of UNODC, UNDP or others in this regard through\n           contributions to the Trust Fund;\n                20.

pirate capacities,\n                     Expressing concern about the reported involvement of children in piracy off\n               the coast of Somalia,\n                     Recognizing that the ongoing instability in Somalia contributes to the problem\n               of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and stressing the need\n               for a comprehensive response by the international community to repress piracy and\n               armed robbery at sea and tackle its underlying causes,\n                     Recognizing the need to investigate and

involved in piracy who illicitly plan,\n               organize, facilitate, or finance and profit from such attacks and reiterating its\n               concern over a large number of persons suspected of piracy having to be released\n               without facing justice, reaffirming that the failure to prosecute persons responsible\n               for acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia undermines\n               anti-piracy efforts of the international community and being determined to create\n               conditions to ensure that pirates are held

investigate allegations of such illegal fishing and dumping, and noting with\n               appreciation in this respect the report of the Secretary-General on the protection of\n               Somali natural resources and water (S/2011/661) prepared pursuant to paragraph 7\n               of Security Council Resolution 1976 (2011),\n                     Further reaffirming that

         capacity of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) to interdict, or upon\n               interdiction to prosecute pirates or to patrol or secure the waters off the coast of\n               Somalia, including the international sea lanes and Somalia’s territorial waters,\n                     Noting the several requests from the TFG for international assistance to\n               counter piracy off its coast, including the letter of 10 November 2011, from the\n               Permanent Representative of Somalia to the United Nations expressing the\n               appreciation of the

armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and requesting\n               that the provisions of resolution 1897 (2009) be renewed for an additional twelve\n               months,\n                     Commending the efforts of the EU operation Atalanta, North Atlantic Treaty\n               Organization operations Allied Protector and Ocean Shield, Combined Maritime\n               Forces’ Combined Task Force 151, and other States acting in a national capacity in\n               cooperation with the TFG and each other, to suppress piracy and to protect\n               vulnerable ships transiting through the waters off the coast of Somalia, and\n               welcoming the efforts of individual countries, including China, India, Islamic\n               Republic of Iran, Japan, Malaysia, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, Saudi\n               Arabia, and Yemen, which have deployed ships and/or aircraft in the region, as\n               stated in the Secretary-General’s report (S/2011/662),\n                     Welcoming the capacity-building efforts in the region made by the\n               International Maritime Organization (IMO) Djibouti Code of Conduct, the Djibouti\n               Code of Conduct Trust Fund, and the Trust Fund Supporting Initiatives of States\n               Countering Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, and recognizing the need for all\n               engaged international and regional organizations to cooperate fully,\n                     Noting with appreciation the efforts made by IMO and the shipping industry to\n               develop and update guidance, best management practices, and recommendations to\n               assist ships to prevent and suppress piracy attacks off the coast of Somalia,\n               including in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean area, and recognizing the work\n               of the IMO and the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia (“CGPCS”)\n               on privately contracted armed security personnel on board ships in high-risk areas.\n                     Noting with concern that the continuing limited capacity and domestic\n               legislation to facilitate the custody and prosecution of suspected pirates after their\n               capture has hindered more robust international action against the pirates off the\n               coast of Somalia, and in some cases has led to pirates being released without facing\n\n\n2                                                                                                       11-60421\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2020 (2011)\n\n\n           justice, regardless of whether there is sufficient evidence to support prosecution, and\n           reiterating that, consistent with the provisions of the Convention concerning the\n           repression of piracy, the 1988 Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts\n           Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation (“SUA Convention”) provides for parties\n           to create criminal offences, establish jurisdiction, and accept delivery of persons\n           responsible for or suspected of seizing or exercising control over a ship by force or\n           threat thereof or any other form of intimidation,\n                 Underlining the importance of continuing to enhance the collection,\n           preservation and transmission to competent authorities of evidence of acts of piracy\n           and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and welcoming the ongoing work\n           of IMO, INTERPOL and industry groups to develop guidance to seafarers on\n           preservation of crime scenes following acts of piracy, and noting the importance for\n           the successful prosecution of acts of piracy of enabling seafarers to give evidence in\n           criminal proceedings,\n                 Noting the consensus at the ninth plenary session of the CGPCS on\n           14 July 2011 to establish a formal Working Group 5 on “illicit financial flows linked\n           to piracy off the coast of Somalia”,\n                 Further recognizing that pirates are turning increasingly to kidnapping and\n           hostage-taking, and that these activities help generate funding to purchase weapons,\n           gain recruits, and continue their operational activities, thereby jeopardizing the\n           safety and security of innocent civilians and restricting the flow of free commerce,\n                 Reaffirming international condemnation of acts of kidnapping and hostagetaking, including acts condemned in the International Convention against the Taking\n           of Hostages, and strongly condemning the continuing practice of hostage-taking by\n           suspected pirates operating off the coast of Somalia, expressing serious concern at\n           the inhuman conditions hostages face in captivity, recognizing the adverse impact on\n           their families, calling for the immediate release of all hostages, and noting the\n           importance of cooperation between Member States on the issue of hostage-taking\n           and the need for the prosecution of suspected pirates for taking hostages,\n                 Commending the Republic of Kenya and the Republic of Seychelles’ efforts to\n           prosecute suspected pirates in their national courts, welcoming the engagement of\n           the Republic of Mauritius and the United Republic of Tanzania, and noting with\n           appreciation the assistance being provided by the United Nations Office on Drugs\n           and Crime (UNODC), the Trust Fund Supporting Initiatives of States Countering\n           Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, and other international organizations and donors, in\n           coordination with the CGPCS, to support Kenya, Seychelles, Somalia, and other\n           States in the region, including Yemen, to take steps to prosecute, or incarcerate in a\n           third state after prosecution elsewhere, pirates, including facilitators and financiers\n           ashore, consistent with applicable international human rights law, and emphasizing\n           the need for States and international organizations to further enhance international\n           efforts in this regard,\n                 Welcoming the readiness of the national and regional administrations of\n           Somalia to cooperate with each other and with States who have prosecuted\n           suspected pirates with a view to enabling convicted pirates to be repatriated back to\n           Somalia under suitable prisoner transfer arrangements, consistent with applicable\n           international law including international human rights law,\n\n\n\n\n11-60421                                                                                                        3\n\nS/RES/2020 (2011)\n\n\n                     Welcoming the report of the Secretary-General (S/2011/662), as requested by\n               resolution 1950 (2010), on the implementation of that resolution and on the situation\n               with respect to piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia,\n                     Taking note with appreciation of the report of the Secretary-General on the\n               modalities for the establishment of specialized Somali anti-piracy courts\n               (S/2011/360) prepared pursuant to paragraph 26 of resolution 1976 (2011), and the\n               ongoing efforts within the CGPCS and the United Nations Secretariat to explore\n               possible additional mechanisms to effectively prosecute persons suspected of piracy\n               and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, including those ashore who incite\n               or intentionally facilitate acts of piracy,\n                     Stressing the need for States to consider possible methods to assist the\n               seafarers who are victims of pirates, and welcoming in this regard the ongoing work\n               within the CGPCS and the International Maritime Organization on developing\n               guidelines for the care of seafarers and other persons who have been subjected to\n               acts of piracy,\n                     Further noting with appreciation the ongoing efforts by UNODC and UNDP to\n               support efforts to enhance the capacity of the corrections system in Somalia,\n               including regional authorities notably with the support of the Trust Fund Supporting\n               Initiatives of States Countering Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, to incarcerate\n               convicted pirates consistent with applicable international human rights law,\n                     Bearing in mind the Djibouti Code of Conduct concerning the Repression of\n               Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in the Western Indian Ocean and the Gulf\n               of Aden, and recognizing the efforts of signatory States to develop the appropriate\n               regulatory and legislative frameworks to combat piracy, enhance their capacity to\n               patrol the waters of the region, interdict suspect vessels, and prosecute suspected\n               pirates,\n                     Emphasizing that peace and stability within Somalia, the strengthening of State\n               institutions, economic and social development and respect for human rights and the\n               rule of law are necessary to create the conditions for a durable eradication of piracy\n               and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and further emphasizing that\n               Somalia’s long-term security rests with the effective development by the TFG of the\n               National Security Force, including the Somali Police Force, in the framework of the\n               Djibouti Agreement and in line with a national security strategy,\n                     Welcoming in this regard that the 6 September 2011 Roadmap to end the\n               transition in Somalia calls for the TFG to develop counter-piracy policy and\n               legislation in conjunction with regional entities, and the declaration of an Exclusive\n               Economic Zone (EEZ), as key tasks of the Transitional Federal Institutions (TFIs),\n               and notes that the Security Council has made its future support to the TFIs\n               contingent upon the completion of the tasks contained in the Roadmap,\n                     Determining that the incidents of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast\n               of Somalia exacerbate the situation in Somalia, which continues to constitute a\n               threat to international peace and security in the region,\n                    Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                    1.   Reiterates that it condemns and deplores all acts of piracy and armed\n               robbery against vessels in the waters off the coast of Somalia;\n\n\n\n4                                                                                                       11-60421\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/2020 (2011)\n\n\n                2.   Recognizes that the ongoing instability in Somalia is one of the\n           underlying causes of the problem of piracy and contributes to the problem of piracy\n           and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia;\n                 3.    Stresses the need for a comprehensive response to repress piracy and\n           tackle its underlying causes by the international community;\n                  4.    Recognizes the need to investigate and prosecute not only suspects\n           captured at sea, but also anyone who incites or intentionally facilitates piracy\n           operations, including key figures of criminal networks involved in piracy who\n           illicitly plan, organize, facilitate, or finance and profit from such attacks;\n                5.    Calls upon States to cooperate also, as appropriate, on the issue of\n           hostage-taking, and the prosecution of suspected pirates for taking hostages;\n                 6.   Notes again its concern regarding the findings contained in the\n           20 November 2008 report of the Monitoring Group on Somalia (S/2008/769,\n           page 55) that escalating ransom payments and the lack of enforcement of the arms\n           embargo established by resolution 733 (1992) are fuelling the growth of piracy off\n           the coast of Somalia, calls upon all States to cooperate fully with the Somalia and\n           Eritrea Monitoring Group including on information sharing regarding possible arms\n           embargo violations;\n                 7.   Renews its call upon States and regional organizations that have the\n           capacity to do so, to take part in the fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea\n           off the coast of Somalia, in particular, consistent with this resolution and\n           international law, by deploying naval vessels, arms and military aircraft and through\n           seizures and disposition of boats, vessels, arms and other related equipment used in\n           the commission of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, or for\n           which there are reasonable grounds for suspecting such use;\n                 8.   Commends the work of the CGPCS to facilitate coordination in order to\n           deter acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, in\n           cooperation with the IMO, flag States, and the TFG and urges States and\n           international organizations to continue to support these efforts;\n                 9.   Encourages Member States to continue to cooperate with the TFG in the\n           fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea, notes the primary role of the TFG in\n           the fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and\n           decides that for a further period of twelve months from the date of this resolution to\n           renew the authorizations as set out in paragraph 10 of resolution 1846 (2008) and\n           paragraph 6 of resolution 1851 (2008), as renewed by paragraph 7 of resolution\n           1897 (2009), and paragraph 7 of resolution 1950 (2010), granted to States and\n           regional organizations cooperating with the TFG in the fight against piracy and\n           armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, for which advance notification has\n           been provided by the TFG to the Secretary-General;\n                10. Affirms that the authorizations renewed in this resolution apply only with\n           respect to the situation in Somalia and shall not affect the rights or obligations or\n           responsibilities of Member States under international law, including any rights or\n           obligations, under the Convention, with respect to any other situation, and\n           underscores in particular that this resolution shall not be considered as establishing\n           customary international law; and affirms further that such authorizations have been\n\n\n\n\n11-60421                                                                                                       5\n\nS/RES/2020 (2011)\n\n\n               renewed only following the receipt of the 10 November 2011 letter conveying the\n               consent of the TFG;\n                    11. Further affirms that the measures imposed by paragraph 5 of resolution\n               733 (1992) and further elaborated upon by paragraphs 1 and 2 of resolution 1425\n               (2002) do not apply to weapons and military equipment destined for the sole use of\n               Member States and regional organizations undertaking measures in accordance with\n               paragraph 9 above or to supplies of technical assistance to Somalia solely for the\n               purposes set out in paragraph 6 of resolution 1950 (2010) which have been\n               exempted from those measures in accordance with the procedure set out in\n               paragraphs 11 (b) and 12 of resolution 1772 (2007);\n                     12. Requests that cooperating States take appropriate steps to ensure that the\n               activities they undertake pursuant to the authorizations in paragraph 9 do not have\n               the practical effect of denying or impairing the right of innocent passage to the ships\n               of any third State;\n                     13. Calls on Member States to assist Somalia, at the request of the TFG and\n               with notification to the Secretary-General, to strengthen capacity in Somalia,\n               including regional authorities, to bring to justice those who are using Somali\n               territory to plan, facilitate, or undertake criminal acts of piracy and armed robbery at\n               sea, and stresses that any measures undertaken pursuant to this paragraph shall be\n               consistent with applicable international human rights law;\n                     14. Calls upon all States, and in particular flag, port, and coastal States,\n               States of the nationality of victims, and perpetrators of piracy and armed robbery,\n               and other States with relevant jurisdiction under international law and national\n               legislation, to cooperate in determining jurisdiction, and in the investigation and\n               prosecution of all persons responsible for acts of piracy and armed robbery off the\n               coast of Somalia, including anyone who incites or facilitates an act of piracy,\n               consistent with applicable international law including international human rights\n               law to ensure that all pirates handed over to judicial authorities are subject to a\n               judicial process, and to render assistance by, among other actions, providing\n               disposition and logistics assistance with respect to persons under their jurisdiction\n               and control, such as victims and witnesses and persons detained as a result of\n               operations conducted under this resolution;\n                     15. Calls upon all States to criminalize piracy under their domestic law and\n               to favourably consider the prosecution of suspected, and imprisonment of convicted,\n               pirates apprehended off the coast of Somalia, and their facilitators and financiers\n               ashore, consistent with applicable international law including international human\n               rights law;\n                     16. Reiterates its decision to continue its consideration, as a matter of\n               urgency, of the establishment of specialized anti-piracy courts in Somalia and other\n               States in the region with substantial international participation and/or support, as set\n               forth in resolution 2015 (2011), and the importance of such courts having\n               jurisdiction over not only suspects captured at sea, but also anyone who incites or\n               intentionally facilitates piracy operations, including key figures of criminal\n               networks involved in piracy who illicitly plan, organize, facilitate, or finance and\n               profit from such attacks, and emphasizes the need for strengthened cooperation of\n               States, regional, and international organizations in holding such individuals\n               accountable, and encourages the CGPCS to continue its discussions in this regard;\n\n\n\n6                                                                                                         11-60421\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2020 (2011)\n\n\n                17. Urges all States to take appropriate actions under their existing domestic\n           law to prevent the illicit financing of acts of piracy and the laundering of its\n           proceeds;\n                18. Urges States, in cooperation with INTERPOL and Europol, to further\n           investigate international criminal networks involved in piracy off the coast of\n           Somalia, including those responsible for illicit financing and facilitation;\n                 19. Commends INTERPOL for the creation of a global piracy database\n           designed to consolidate information about piracy off the coast of Somalia and\n           facilitate the development of actionable analysis for law enforcement, and urges all\n           States to share such information with INTERPOL for use in the database, through\n           appropriate channels;\n                 20. Stresses in this context the need to support the investigation and\n           prosecution of those who illicitly finance, plan, organize, or unlawfully profit from\n           pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia;\n                 21. Urges Sates and international organizations to share evidence and\n           information for anti-piracy law enforcement purposes with a view to ensuring\n           effective prosecution of suspected, and imprisonment of convicted, pirates;\n                 22. Commends the establishment of the Trust Fund Supporting the Initiatives\n           of States Countering Piracy off the Coast of Somalia and the International Maritime\n           Organization (IMO) Djibouti Code Trust Fund and urges both state and non-state\n           actors affected by piracy, most notably the international shipping community, to\n           contribute to them;\n                 23. Urges States parties to the Convention and the SUA Convention to\n           implement fully their relevant obligations under these Conventions and customary\n           international law and cooperate with the UNODC, IMO, and other States and other\n           international organizations to build judicial capacity for the successful prosecution\n           of persons suspected of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the Coast of Somalia;\n                 24. Urges States individually or within the framework of competent\n           international organizations to positively consider investigating allegations of illegal\n           fishing and illegal dumping, including of toxic substances, with a view to\n           prosecuting such offences when committed by persons under their jurisdiction; and\n           takes note of the Secretary-General’s intention to include updates on these issues in\n           his future reports relating to piracy off the Coast of Somalia;\n                 25. Welcomes the recommendations and guidance of the IMO on preventing\n           and suppressing piracy and armed robbery against ships, underlines the importance\n           of implementing such recommendations and guidance by all stakeholders, including\n           the shipping industry, and urges States, in collaboration with the shipping and\n           insurance industries, and the IMO, to continue to develop and implement avoidance,\n           evasion, and defensive best practices and advisories to take when under attack or\n           when sailing in the waters off the coast of Somalia, and further urges States to make\n           their citizens and vessels available for forensic investigation as appropriate at the\n           first port of call immediately following an act or attempted act of piracy or armed\n           robbery at sea or release from captivity;\n                 26. Invites the IMO to continue its contributions to the prevention and\n           suppression of acts of piracy and armed robbery against ships in coordination, in\n           particular, with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the World\n\n\n11-60421                                                                                                        7\n\nS/RES/2020 (2011)\n\n\n               Food Programme (WFP), the shipping industry, and all other parties concerned, and\n               recognizes the IMO’s role concerning privately contracted armed security personnel\n               on board ships in high-risk areas;\n                    27.

crossings of the Green Line by\n               Cypriots, and encouraging the opening by mutual agreement of other crossing\n               points,\n                    Convinced of the many important benefits for all Cypriots that would flow\n               from a comprehensive and durable Cyprus settlement, urging the two sides and their\n               leaders to foster positive public rhetoric,

communities well in advance of any\n               eventual referenda,\n                    Considering that undermining the UN’s credibility undermines the peace\n               process itself,\n

   towards helping the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders to exploit fully the\n               current opportunity,\n                     Taking note of the assessment of the Secretary-General that the security\n               situation on the island and along the Green Line remains stable, and urging all sides\n               to avoid any action which could lead to an increase in tension, undermine the\n               progress achieved so far, or damage the goodwill on the island,\n                    Recalling the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the situation in the buffer\n               zone would be improved if both sides accepted the 1989 aide memoire used by the\n               United Nations,\n                    Noting with regret that the sides are withholding access to the remaining\n               minefields in the buffer zone, and that demining in Cyprus has ceased as a result,\n               noting the continued danger posed by mines in Cyprus, and urging rapid agreement\n               on facilitating the recommencement of demining operations and clearance of the\n               remaining minefields,\n                    Highlighting the importance of the activities of the Committee on Missing\n               Persons, urging the opening up of access to all areas to allow the Committee to\n               carry out their work, and trusting that this process will promote reconciliation\n               between the communities,\n                     Agreeing that active participation of civil society groups, including women’s\n               groups, is essential to the political process and can contribute to making any future\n               settlement sustainable, recalling that women play an important role in peace\n               processes, welcoming all efforts to promote bicommunal contacts and events\n               including, inter alia, on the part of all United Nations bodies on the island, and\n               urging the two sides to promote the active engagement of civil society and the\n               encouragement of cooperation between economic and commercial bodies and to\n               remove all obstacles to such contacts,\n                    Stressing the need for the Council to pursue a rigorous, strategic approach to\n               peacekeeping deployments,\n\n\n\n2

          Welcoming the intention of the Secretary-General to keep all peacekeeping\n           operations, including those of UNFICYP, under close review and noting the\n           importance of contingency planning in relation to the settlement, including\n           recommendations as appropriate for further adjustments to UNFICYP’s mandate,\n           force levels and other resources and concept of operations, taking into account\n           developments on the ground, and the views of the parties,\n                 Welcoming also the continued efforts of Alexander Downer as the Secretary-General’s Special Advisor with a mandate to assist the parties in the conduct of\n           fully-fledged negotiations aimed at reaching a comprehensive settlement, and the\n           efforts of Lisa Buttenheim as the Secretary-General’s Special Representative,\n                Echoing the Secretary-General’s gratitude to the Government of Cyprus and\n           the Government of

Calls upon all parties in Syria, including the opposition, immediately to\n               cease all armed violence in all its forms;\n                    4.

Calls upon the Syrian government to ensure the effective operation of\n           UNSMIS by: facilitating the expeditious and unhindered deployment of its\n           personnel and capabilities as required to fulfil its mandate; ensuring its full,\n           unimpeded, and immediate freedom of movement and access as necessary to fulfil\n           its mandate, underlining in this regard the need for the Syrian government and the\n           United Nations to agree rapidly on appropriate air transportation assets for\n           UNSMIS; allowing its unobstructed communications; and allowing it to freely and\n           privately communicate with individuals throughout Syria without retaliation against\n           any person as a result of interaction with UNSMIS;\n                9.

the civilian population,\n                     Deploring the recurrent illegal interference of the military leadership in the\n               political process in Guinea-Bissau and expressing concern that interference of the\n               military in politics and the impact of illicit drug trafficking and organized crime in\n               Guinea-Bissau have significantly hampered efforts to establish rule of law and good\n               governance and tackle impunity and corruption,\n                    Expressing grave concern over the negative impacts of illicit drug trafficking\n               and organized crime on Guinea-Bissau and the subregion,\n                     Expressing deep concern about the possible increase in illicit drug trafficking\n               as a result of the military coup,\n                     Underlining that any lasting solution to instability in Guinea-Bissau should\n               include concrete actions to fight impunity and ensure that those responsible for\n               politically-motivated assassinations and other serious crimes such as illicit drugtrafficking-related activities and breaches of constitutional order are brought to\n               justice,\n                    Further underlining the importance of stability and good governance for\n               durable social and economic development in Guinea-Bissau,\n                     Reaffirming the need to uphold and respect the sovereignty, unity and\n               territorial integrity of Guinea-Bissau,\n                    Mindful of its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace\n               and security under the Charter of the United Nations,\n                    Acting under article 41 of Chapter VII of the Charter of the United

Demands that the Military Command takes immediate steps to restore\n               and respect constitutional order, including a democratic electoral process, by\n               ensuring that all soldiers return to the barracks, and that members of the “Military\n               Command” relinquish their positions of authority;\n                     2.

Emphasizes that in order to be sustainable, the transition planning\n               process should take into account broad challenges, including governance and the\n               rule of law as well as the political context, and calls on UNMIL to make the\n               appropriate internal adjustments and, at the request of the Government of Liberia,\n               and consistent with its mandate, support the people and the Government of Liberia\n               in taking forward the identified priorities, including national reconciliation,\n               constitutional reform and decentralization, while enhancing its support for security\n               sector and rule of law reforms;\n                    9.

Requests the Secretary-General to report in the coming days on options,\n           and their implications, for the possible redeployments, in consultation with troopand police-contributing countries, of MONUSCO contingents and additional force\n           multipliers, observation capabilities and troops within the current authorized ceiling,\n           which, in regard to the current crisis, could improve the ability of MONUSCO to\n           implement its mandate, including to protect civilians and report on flows of arms\n           and related materiel across the borders of Eastern DRC, and in this context\n           expresses its intention to keep the mandate of MONUSCO under review;\n                10. Calls on all relevant actors to use their influence on the M23 to bring\n           about an end to attacks;\n                 11. Calls on all parties, in particular the M23, to allow safe, timely and\n           unhindered humanitarian access to those in need in accordance with international\n           law, including applicable international humanitarian law and the guiding principles\n           of humanitarian assistance, and to refrain from any violence against civilians;\n                 12. Calls upon all parties to respect the civilian and humanitarian character\n           of refugee camps and internally displaced persons sites and stresses the need to\n           prevent any forced recruitment of individuals, including children by parties to the\n           conflict;\n                 13. Commends the active steps taken by MONUSCO to implement its\n           mandate, in particular the protection of civilians, further commends in this regard\n           the tireless efforts of all MONUSCO contingents, particularly in and around Goma,\n           and encourages the continuation of their efforts;\n                 14. Emphasizes that any attempts to undermine MONUSCO’s ability to\n           implement its mandate will not be tolerated and condemns all individuals and\n           entities who plan, sponsor or participate in attacks against MONUSCO;\n                 15. Welcomes and emphasizes the importance of the continuation of the\n           efforts of the ICGLR, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and\n           the AU to resolve the conflict and find a durable political solution, and calls on\n           them and States of the region to coordinate their efforts in order to bring about an\n           end to attacks, stabilize the situation and facilitate dialogue between relevant\n           parties;\n                16.

increase in\n                pirate capacities,\n                      Expressing concern about the reported involvement of children in piracy off\n                the coast of Somalia,\n                      Recognizing that the ongoing instability in Somalia contributes to the problem\n                of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and stressing the need\n                for a comprehensive response by the international community to repress piracy and\n                armed robbery at sea and tackle its underlying causes,\n                      Recognizing the need to investigate and prosecute not only suspects captured\n                at sea, but also anyone who incites or intentionally facilitates piracy operations,\n                including key figures of criminal networks involved in piracy who illicitly plan,\n                organize, facilitate, or finance and profit from such attacks, and reiterating its\n                concern over persons suspected of piracy having to be released without facing\n                justice, reaffirming that the failure to prosecute persons responsible for acts of\n                piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia undermines anti-piracy\n                efforts of the international community and being determined to create conditions to\n                ensure that pirates are

fisheries, in accordance with international law,\n               recalling the importance of preventing, in accordance with international law, illegal\n               fishing and illegal dumping, including of toxic substances, and stressing the need to\n               investigate any new allegations of such illegal fishing and dumping; noting the\n               report of the Secretary-General (S/2012/783), which acknowledges difficulty in\n               providing detailed information related to illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing\n               and dumping off Somalia’s coast without adequate monitoring or reporting systems,\n               and states that the United Nations has received little evidence to date to justify\n               claims that illegal fishing and dumping are factors responsible for forcing Somali\n               youths to resort to piracy, and that there is currently no evidence of toxic waste\n               dumping on land and at sea; emphasizing that the concerns about protection of the\n               marine environment as well as resources should not be allowed to mask the true\n               nature of piracy off the coast of Somalia which is a transnational criminal enterprise\n               driven primarily by the opportunity for financial gain, and expressing appreciation\n               in this respect for the report of the Secretary-General on the protection of Somali\n               natural resources and water (S/2011/661) prepared pursuant to paragraph 7 of\n               Security Council Resolution 1976

sets\n               out the legal framework applicable to combating piracy and armed robbery at sea, as\n               well as other ocean activities,\n                     Underlining the primary responsibility of the Somali authorities in the fight\n               against piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast Somalia and noting the several\n               requests from Somali authorities for international assistance to counter piracy off its\n               coast, including the letter of 5 November 2012, from the Permanent Representative\n               of Somalia to the United Nations expressing the appreciation of Somali authorities\n               to the Security Council for its assistance, expressing their willingness to consider\n               working with other States and regional organizations to combat piracy and armed\n               robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and requesting that the provisions of\n               resolution 1897 (2009) be renewed for an additional twelve months,\n                     Commending the efforts of the European Union operation ATALANTA, North\n               Atlantic Treaty Organization operations Allied Protector and Ocean Shield,\n               Combined Maritime Forces’ Combined Task Force 151 commanded by Denmark,\n               New Zealand, Pakistan, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Turkey, Thailand and the\n               United States, and other States acting in a national capacity in cooperation with\n               Somali authorities and each other, to suppress piracy and to protect vulnerable ships\n               transiting through the waters off the coast of Somalia, and welcoming the efforts of\n               individual countries, including China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Republic of Korea,\n               and the Russian Federation, which have deployed ships and/or aircraft in the region,\n               as stated in the Secretary-General’s report (S/2012/783),\n                     Commending the efforts of flag States for taking appropriate measures to\n               permit vessels sailing under their flag transiting the High Risk Area to embark\n               vessel protection detachments and privately contracted armed security personnel,\n               and encouraging States to regulate such activities in accordance with applicable\n               international law and permit charters to favour arrangements that make use of such\n               measures,\n\n\n\n2

States on the need to review the boundaries\n           of the High Risk Area on an objective and transparent basis taking into account\n           actual incidents of piracy, noting that the High Risk Area is set and defined by the\n           insurance and maritime industry,\n                 Welcoming the capacity building efforts in the region made through the\n           International Maritime Organization (IMO) Djibouti Code of Conduct Trust Fund\n           and the Trust Fund Supporting Initiatives of States Countering Piracy off the Coast\n           of Somalia, as well as the European Union’s planned programming under EUCAP\n           NESTOR, and recognizing the need for all engaged international and regional\n           organizations to cooperate fully,\n                 Noting with appreciation the efforts made by the IMO and the shipping\n           industry to develop and update guidance, best management practices, and\n           recommendations to assist ships to prevent and suppress piracy attacks off the coast\n           of Somalia, including in the Gulf of Aden, and the Indian Ocean area, and\n           recognizing the work of the IMO, and the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of\n           Somalia (CGPCS); in this regard, notes the efforts of the International Organization\n           for Standardization, which has developed industry standards of training and\n           certification for Private Maritime Security Companies when providing privately\n           contracted armed security personnel on board ships in high-risk areas,\n                 Noting with concern that the continuing limited capacity and domestic\n           legislation to facilitate the custody and prosecution of suspected pirates after their\n           capture has hindered more robust international action against the pirates off the\n           coast of Somalia, too often has led to pirates being released without facing justice,\n           regardless of whether there is sufficient evidence to support prosecution and\n           reiterating that, consistent with the provisions of the Convention concerning the\n           repression of piracy, the 1988 Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts\n           Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation (“SUA Convention”) provides for parties\n           to create criminal offences, establish jurisdiction, and accept delivery of persons\n           responsible for or suspected of seizing or exercising control over a ship by force or\n           threat thereof or any other form of intimidation,\n                 Underlining the importance of continuing to enhance the collection,\n           preservation and transmission to competent authorities of evidence of acts of piracy\n           and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and welcoming the ongoing work\n           of the IMO, INTERPOL, and industry groups to develop guidance to seafarers on\n           preservation of crime scenes following acts of piracy, and noting the importance for\n           the successful prosecution of acts of piracy of enabling seafarers to give evidence in\n           criminal proceedings,\n                 Further recognizing that pirate networks continue to rely on kidnapping and\n           hostage-taking, and that these activities help generate funding to purchase weapons,\n           gain recruits, and continue their operational activities, thereby jeopardizing the\n           safety and security of innocent civilians and restricting the flow of free commerce,\n           and welcoming international efforts to collect and share information to disrupt the\n           pirate enterprise, as exemplified by INTERPOL’s Global Database on Maritime\n           Piracy; and noting the ongoing initiative aimed at establishing the Regional\n           Anti-Piracy Prosecution & Intelligence Coordination Centre, hosted by the Republic\n           of Seychelles,\n\n\n\n\n12-60084                                                                                                       3\n\nS/RES/2077 (2012)\n\n\n                     Reaffirming international condemnation of acts of kidnapping and hostagetaking, including offences contained within the International Convention against the\n               Taking of Hostages, and strongly condemning the continuing practice of hostagetaking by pirates operating off the coast of Somalia, expressing serious concern at\n               the inhuman conditions hostages face in captivity, recognizing the adverse impact on\n               their families, calling for the immediate release of all hostages, and noting the\n               importance of cooperation between Member States on the issue of hostage-taking\n               and the prosecution of suspected pirates for taking hostages,\n                     Commending the Kenya and the Seychelles’ efforts to prosecute suspected\n               pirates in their national courts, welcoming and looking forward to further\n               engagement of Mauritius and Tanzania, and noting with appreciation the assistance\n               being provided by the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the\n               Trust Fund Supporting Initiatives of States Countering Piracy off the Coast of\n               Somalia, and other international organizations and donors, in coordination with the\n               CGPCS, to support Kenya, Seychelles, Somalia, and other States in the region to\n               take steps to prosecute, or incarcerate in a third State after prosecution elsewhere,\n               pirates, including facilitators and financiers ashore, consistent with applicable\n               international human rights law, and emphasizing the need for States and\n               international organizations to further enhance international efforts in this regard,\n                     Welcoming the readiness of the national and regional administrations of\n               Somalia to cooperate with each other and with States who have prosecuted\n               suspected pirates with a view to enabling convicted pirates to be repatriated back to\n               Somalia under suitable prisoner transfer arrangements, consistent with applicable\n               international law including international human rights law,\n                     Welcoming the report of the Secretary General (S/2012/783), as requested by\n               resolution 2020 (2011), on the implementation of that resolution and on the situation\n               with respect to piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia,\n                     Taking note with appreciation of the reports of the Secretary-General on the\n               modalities for the establishment of specialized Somali anti-piracy courts\n               (S/2011/360 and S/2012/50), prepared pursuant to paragraph 26 of resolution 1976\n               (2011) and paragraph 16 of resolution 2015 (2011), and the ongoing efforts within\n               the CGPCS and the United Nations Secretariat to explore possible additional\n               mechanisms to effectively prosecute persons suspected of piracy and armed robbery\n               at sea off the coast of Somalia, including those ashore who incite or intentionally\n               facilitate acts of piracy,\n                    Stressing the need for States to consider possible methods to assist the\n               seafarers who are victims of pirates, and welcoming in this regard the ongoing work\n               within the CGPCS and the IMO on developing guidelines for the care of seafarers\n               and other persons who have been subjected to acts of piracy,\n                     Recognizing the progress made by the CGPCS, UNODC, and UNPOS in the\n               use of public information tools to raise awareness of the dangers of piracy, highlight\n               the best practices to eradicate this criminal phenomenon, and inform the public of\n               the dangers posed by piracy,\n                    Further noting with appreciation the ongoing efforts by UNODC and UNDP to\n               support efforts to enhance the capacity of the corrections system in Somalia,\n               including regional authorities notably with the support of the Trust Fund Supporting\n\n\n\n4                                                                                                       12-60084\n\n

incarcerate\n           convicted pirates consistent with applicable international human rights law,\n                 Bearing in mind the Djibouti Code of Conduct concerning the Repression of\n           Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in the Western Indian Ocean and the Gulf\n           of Aden, noting the operations of the newly established information sharing centres\n           in Yemen, Kenya and Tanzania and the ongoing work regarding a regional maritime\n           training centre in Djibouti, and recognizing the efforts of signatory States, including\n           new signatory States South Africa and Mozambique, to develop the appropriate\n           regulatory and legislative frameworks to combat piracy, enhance their capacity to\n           patrol the waters of the region, interdict suspect vessels, and prosecute suspected\n           pirates,\n                 Emphasizing that peace and stability within Somalia, the strengthening of State\n           institutions, economic and social development and respect for human rights and the\n           rule of law are necessary to create the conditions for a durable eradication of piracy\n           and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and further emphasizing that\n           Somalia’s long-term security rests with the effective development by Somali\n           authorities of the Somali National Security Forces,\n                Welcoming in this regard the election of the President on 10 September and the\n           subsequent appointment of a Prime Minister and Cabinet, considering that this\n           represents the completion of the Transition in Somalia and an important milestone in\n           Somalia’s path to more stable and accountable governance,\n                 Noting that the joint counter-piracy efforts of the international community and\n           private sector have resulted in a sharp decline in pirate attacks as well as hijackings\n           since 2011 and emphasizing that without further action, the significant progress\n           made in reducing the number of successful pirate attacks is reversible,\n                 Determining that the incidents of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast\n           of Somalia exacerbate the situation in Somalia, which continues to constitute a\n           threat to international peace and security in the region,\n                Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                1.   Reiterates that it condemns and deplores all acts of piracy and armed\n           robbery against vessels in the waters off the coast of Somalia;\n                2.   Recognizes that the ongoing instability in Somalia is one of the\n           underlying causes of the problem of piracy and contributes to the problem of piracy\n           and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia;\n                 3.    Stresses the need for a comprehensive response to repress piracy and\n           tackle its underlying causes by the international community;\n                 4.    Underlines the primary responsibility of Somali authorities in the fight\n           against piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and requests the\n           Somali authorities, with assistance from the Secretary-General and relevant UN\n           entities, to pass a complete set of counter-piracy laws without further delay, and to\n           declare an Exclusive Economic Zone in accordance with the United Nations\n           Convention on the Law of the Sea;\n                 5.   Recognizes the need to continue investigating and prosecuting all\n           suspected pirates and urges States, working in conjunction with relevant\n           international organizations, to intensify their efforts to investigate and prosecute key\n\n\n12-60084                                                                                                         5\n\nS/RES/2077 (2012)\n\n\n               figures of criminal networks involved in piracy who illicitly plan, organize,\n               facilitate, or finance and profit from such attacks;\n                     6.   Calling upon the Somali authorities to interdict, and upon interdiction to\n               investigate and prosecute pirates and to patrol the territorial waters off the coast of\n               Somalia to suppress acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea, noting the importance\n               of strengthening Somalia’s maritime capacity, and welcomes support by the\n               international community for strengthening Somalia’s capacity in this regard;\n                    7.    Calls upon States to cooperate also, as appropriate, on the issue of\n               hostage taking, and the prosecution of suspected pirates for taking hostages;\n                     8.   Notes again its concern regarding the findings contained in the 13 July\n               2012 report (S/2012/544, page 211) and resolution 2020 (2011) that escalating\n               ransom payments and the lack of enforcement of the arms embargo established by\n               resolution 733 (1992) are fuelling the growth of piracy off the coast of Somalia, calls\n               upon all States to cooperate fully with the Somalia and Eritrea Monitoring Group\n               including on information sharing regarding possible arms embargo violations;\n                     9.     Recognizes the need for States, regional organizations, and other\n               appropriate partners to exchange evidence and information with a view to the arrest\n               and prosecution of key figures of criminal networks involved in piracy who illicitly\n               plan, organize, facilitate, or finance and profit from piracy operations, and keeps\n               under review the possibility of applying targeted sanctions against such individuals or\n               entities if they meet the listing criteria set out in paragraph 8 resolution 1844 (2008);\n                     10. Renews its call upon States and regional organizations that have the\n               capacity to do so, to take part in the fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea\n               off the coast of Somalia, in particular, consistent with this resolution and\n               international law, by deploying naval vessels, arms and military aircraft and through\n               seizures and disposition of boats, vessels, arms and other related equipment used in\n               the commission of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, or for\n               which there are reasonable grounds for suspecting such use;\n                     11. Commends the work of the CGPCS to facilitate coordination in order to\n               deter acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, in\n               cooperation with the IMO, flag States, and Somali authorities and urges States and\n               international organizations to continue to support these efforts;\n                     12. Encourages Member States to continue to cooperate with Somali\n               authorities in the fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea, notes the primary\n               role of Somali authorities in the fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea off the\n               coast of Somalia, and decides that for a further period of twelve months from the\n               date of this resolution to renew the authorizations as set out in paragraph 10 of\n               resolution 1846 (2008) and paragraph 6 of resolution 1851 (2008), as renewed by\n               paragraph 7 of resolution 1897 (2009), paragraph 7 of resolution 1950 (2010), and\n               paragraph 9 of resolution 2020 (2011) granted to States and regional organizations\n               cooperating with Somali authorities in the fight against piracy and armed robbery at\n               sea off the coast of Somalia, for which advance notification has been provided by\n               Somali authorities to the Secretary-General;\n                    13. Affirms that the authorizations renewed in this resolution apply only with\n               respect to the situation in Somalia and shall not affect the rights or obligations or\n               responsibilities of Member States under international law, including any rights or\n\n\n\n6                                                                                                          12-60084\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2077 (2012)\n\n\n           obligations, under the Convention, with respect to any other situation, and\n           underscores in particular that this resolution shall not be considered as establishing\n           customary international law; and affirms further that such authorizations have been\n           renewed only following the receipt of the 5 November 2012 letter conveying the\n           consent of Somali authorities;\n                14. Further affirms that the measures imposed by paragraph 5 of resolution\n           733 (1992) and further elaborated upon by paragraphs 1 and 2 of resolution 1425\n           (2002) do not apply to weapons and military equipment destined for the sole use of\n           Member States and regional organizations undertaking measures in accordance with\n           paragraph 12 above or to supplies of technical assistance to Somalia solely for the\n           purposes set out in paragraph 6 of resolution 1950 (2010) which have been\n           exempted from those measures in accordance with the procedure set out in\n           paragraphs 11 (b) and 12 of resolution 1772 (2007);\n                 15. Requests that cooperating States take appropriate steps to ensure that the\n           activities they undertake pursuant to the authorizations in paragraph 12 do not have\n           the practical effect of denying or impairing the right of innocent passage to the ships\n           of any third State;\n                 16. Calls on the Somali authorities to make all efforts to bring to justice\n           those who are using Somali territory to plan, facilitate, or undertake criminal acts of\n           piracy and armed robbery at sea and calls upon Member States to assist Somalia, at\n           the request of Somali authorities and with notification to the Secretary-General, to\n           strengthen capacity in Somalia, including regional authorities, and stresses that any\n           measures undertaken pursuant to this paragraph shall be consistent with applicable\n           international human rights law;\n                 17. Calls upon all States, and in particular flag, port, and coastal States,\n           States of the nationality of victims, and perpetrators of piracy and armed robbery,\n           and other States with relevant jurisdiction under international law and national\n           legislation, to cooperate in determining jurisdiction, and in the investigation and\n           prosecution of all persons responsible for acts of piracy and armed robbery off the\n           coast of Somalia, including anyone who incites or facilitates an act of piracy,\n           consistent with applicable international law including international human rights\n           law to ensure that all pirates handed over to judicial authorities are subject to a\n           judicial process, and to render assistance by, among other actions, providing\n           disposition and logistics assistance with respect to persons under their jurisdiction\n           and control, such as victims and witnesses and persons detained as a result of\n           operations conducted under this resolution;\n                 18. Calls upon all States to criminalize piracy under their domestic law and\n           to favourably consider the prosecution of suspected, and imprisonment of convicted,\n           pirates apprehended off the coast of Somalia, and their facilitators and financiers\n           ashore, consistent with applicable international law including international human\n           rights law;\n                 19. Reiterates its decision to continue its consideration, as a matter of\n           urgency, of the establishment of specialized anti-piracy courts in Somalia and other\n           States in the region with substantial international participation and/or support, as set\n           forth in resolution 2015 (2011), and the importance of such courts having\n           jurisdiction over not only suspects captured at sea, but also anyone who incites or\n           intentionally facilitates piracy operations, including key figures of criminal\n\n\n\n12-60084                                                                                                         7\n\nS/RES/2077 (2012)\n\n\n               networks involved in piracy who illicitly plan, organize, facilitate, or finance and\n               profit from such attacks, and emphasizes the need for strengthened cooperation of\n               States, regional, and international organizations in holding such individuals\n               accountable, and encourages the CGPCS to continue its discussions in this regard;\n                     20. Welcomes, in this context, that the report of the Secretary-General\n               pursuant to resolution 2015 (2011) contains detailed implementation proposals on\n               ways to ensure that suspected pirates are held accountable through the due process\n               of law in accordance with international standards, and encourages action in this field\n               at the federal level in Somalia;\n                    21. Urges all States to take appropriate actions under their existing domestic\n               law to prevent the illicit financing of acts of piracy and the laundering of its\n               proceeds;\n                    22. Urges States, in cooperation with INTERPOL and Europol, to further\n               investigate international criminal networks involved in piracy off the coast of\n               Somalia, including those responsible for illicit financing and facilitation;\n                     23. Commends INTERPOL for the creation of a global piracy database\n               designed to consolidate information about piracy off the coast of Somalia and\n               facilitate the development of actionable analysis for law enforcement, and urges all\n               States to share such information with INTERPOL for use in the database, through\n               appropriate channels;\n                     24. Stresses in this context the need to support the investigation and\n               prosecution of those who illicitly finance, plan, organize, or unlawfully profit from\n               pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia;\n                     25. Urges States and international organizations to share evidence and\n               information for anti-piracy law enforcement purposes with a view to ensuring\n               effective prosecution of suspected, and imprisonment of convicted, pirates;\n                    26. Commends the establishment of the Trust Fund Supporting the Initiatives\n               of States Countering Piracy off the Coast of Somalia and the IMO Djibouti Code\n               Trust Fund and urges both state and non-state actors affected by piracy, most\n               notably the international shipping community, to contribute to them;\n                     27. Urges States parties to the Convention and the SUA Convention to\n               implement fully their relevant obligations under these Conventions and customary\n               international law and cooperate with the UNODC, IMO, and other States and other\n               international organizations to build judicial capacity for the successful prosecution\n               of persons suspected of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia;\n                     28. Urges States individually or within the framework of competent\n               international organizations to positively consider investigating any new allegations\n               of illegal fishing and illegal dumping, including of toxic substances, with a view to\n               prosecuting such offences when committed by persons under their jurisdiction;\n               encourages increased efforts to monitor and report on such allegations; takes note of\n               the report of the Secretary-General (S/2012/783), which acknowledges difficulty in\n               providing detailed information related to illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing\n               and dumping off Somalia’s coast without adequate monitoring or reporting systems,\n               and states that the United Nations has received little evidence to date to justify\n               claims that illegal fishing and dumping are factors responsible for forcing Somali\n               youths to resort to piracy, and that there is currently no evidence of toxic waste\n\n\n8                                                                                                       12-60084\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2077 (2012)\n\n\n           dumping on land and at sea; and emphasizes that the concerns about protection of\n           the marine environment as well as resources should not be allowed to mask the true\n           nature of piracy off the coast of Somalia which is a transnational criminal enterprise\n           driven primarily by the opportunity for financial gain; and takes note of the\n           Secretary-General’s intention to include updates on these issues in his reports\n           relating to piracy off the Coast of Somalia;\n                 29. Welcomes the recommendations and guidance of the IMO on preventing\n           and suppressing piracy and armed robbery against ships, underlines the importance\n           of implementing such recommendations and guidance by all stakeholders,\n           particularly the shipping industry, and of flag States ensuring, as appropriate, the\n           implementation of such recommendations and guidance, and urges States, in\n           collaboration with the shipping and insurance industries, and the IMO, to continue\n           to develop and implement avoidance, evasion, and defensive best practices and\n           advisories to take when under attack or when sailing in the waters off the coast of\n           Somalia, and further urges States to make their citizens and vessels available for\n           forensic investigation as appropriate at the first suitable port of call immediately\n           following an act or attempted act of piracy or armed robbery at sea or release from\n           captivity;\n                30. Encourages flag States and port States to further consider the\n           development of safety and security measures onboard vessels, including, where\n           applicable, developing regulations for the deployment of PCASP on board ships\n           through a consultative process, including through the IMO and ISO;\n                 31.

Recalls its decision that, for purposes of submitting a delisting request in\n           paragraph 26, consensus must exist between or among all designating States in cases\n           where there are multiple designating States; and further recalls its decision that\n           co-sponsors of listing requests shall not be considered designating States for\n           purposes of paragraph 26;\n                 28.

Directs the Committee to continue to work, in accordance with its\n           guidelines, to consider delisting requests of Member States for the removal from the\n           Al-Qaida Sanctions List of individuals, groups, undertakings and entities that are\n           alleged to no longer meet the criteria established in the relevant resolutions, and set\n           out in paragraph 2 of the present resolution, which shall be placed on the\n           Committee’s agenda upon request of a member of the Committee, and strongly\n           urges Member States to provide reasons for submitting their delisting requests;\n                 30. Encourages States to submit delisting requests for individuals that are\n           officially confirmed to be dead, particularly where no assets are identified, and for\n           entities reported or confirmed to have ceased to exist, while at the same time taking\n           all reasonable measures to ensure that the assets that had belonged to these\n\n\n\n12-65282                                                                                                           7\n\nS/RES/2083 (2012)\n\n\n               individuals or entities have not been or will not be transferred or distributed to other\n               individuals, groups, undertakings and entities on the Al-Qaida Sanctions List;\n                     31. Encourages Member States, when unfreezing the assets of a deceased\n               individual or an entity that is reported or confirmed to have ceased to exist as a\n               result of a delisting, to recall the obligations set forth in resolution 1373 (2001) and,\n               particularly, to prevent unfrozen assets from being used for terrorist purposes;\n                     32.

Recognizes the important role of multidimensional peacekeeping\n           missions to: (a) assist host countries in developing critical peacebuilding priorities\n           and strategies; (b) help to create an enabling environment for relevant national and\n           international actors to perform peacebuilding tasks; and (c) implement early\n           peacebuilding tasks themselves;\n                6.  Reiterates the need to integrate mission expertise and experience into the\n           development of peacebuilding strategies;\n                 7.   Recognizes that the mandate of each peacekeeping mission is specific to\n           the needs and situation of the country concerned;\n                8.   Notes, in this regard, that multidimensional peacekeeping missions may\n           be mandated by the Security Council, inter-alia, to:\n                 (a) Provide support to basic safety and security by assisting national security\n           sector reform programmes, through strategic assistance to develop security sector\n           frameworks, and capacity building of military, police

from disarmament and demobilization to reintegration, taking into\n           consideration the different needs of all parts of the affected population, and in\n           accordance with specific needs of a situation;\n                 (c) Support the strengthening of rule of law institutions of the host country,\n           in a coordinated manner with other United Nations entities, within

       violence, in conformity with paragraph 16 of its resolution 1674 (2006), within\n               missions’ zones of operation and taking into account their capacities and resources,\n               and support the efforts of the host authorities in protection of civilians from\n               violence, including all forms of sexual and gender based violence, and in this\n               regard, help in building and reforming security sector institutions of the host\n               country that are able to sustainably and consistently protect civilians, while\n

Recognizes that, while primary responsibility for successful\n               peacebuilding lies with governments and relevant national actors, multidimensional\n               peacekeeping missions bring comparative advantages in early peacebuilding by:\n               (a) drawing strength from international legitimacy and political leverage derived\n               from the Security Council mandate; (b) using a mix of civilian, police, and military\n               capabilities under a unified leadership; and (c) utilizing deep field presence;\n                    10. Reiterates its resolve to give peacekeeping operations clear, credible and\n               achievable mandates matched by appropriate resources;\n                     11.

Reiterates the importance, when establishing and renewing the mandates\n               of United Nations Missions, to include provisions on the promotion of gender\n               equality and the empowerment of women in post-conflict situations and on children\n               and armed conflict, including through the appointment of gender advisers, women\n               protection advisers and experts and child protection advisers, as appropriate, and\n\n\n\n4                                                                                                     13-21160\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/2086 (2013)\n\n\n           welcomes the call of Secretary-General for enhanced participation, representation\n           and involvement of women in prevention and resolution of armed conflict and in\n           peacebuilding as well as for a stronger commitment to address the challenges to\n           such engagement of women at all levels;\n                13. Encourages national governments, the United Nations, regional and\n           subregional organizations to continue to use existing civilian expertise and also to\n           broaden and deepen the pool of civilian capacities for peacebuilding in the\n           immediate aftermath of conflict, including from countries with relevant experience\n           in post-conflict peacebuilding or democratic transition, giving particular attention to\n           mobilizing capacities from developing countries and from women, and in this\n           regard, stresses the imperative of mandating and deploying civilian capacities in\n           compliance with relevant United Nations resolutions and rules and procedures, and\n           with a view to minimizing duplication of efforts and ensuring consistency and\n           complementarity;\n                 14.

Stresses that integrated action on the ground by security and development\n           actors requires coordination with national authorities in order to stabilize and\n           improve the security situation and help in economic recovery, and underlines the\n           importance of integrated efforts among all United Nations entities in the field to\n           promote coherence in the United Nations’ work in conflict and post-conflict\n           situations;\n                 16.

Calls on the Government of Sudan to remove all restrictions, limitations\n                and bureaucratic impediments imposed on the work of the Panel of Experts,\n                including by issuing timely multiple-entry visas to all members of the Panel of\n                Experts for the duration of its mandate, and by waiving the requirement of Darfur\n                travel permits for said Panel members;\n                      11. Urges the Government of Sudan to respond to the Committee’s requests\n                on measures put in place to protect civilians in various parts of Darfur, including\n                those affected by new displacements; investigations conducted and accountability\n                measures undertaken for killings of civilians and perpetrators of human rights\n                abuses and violations of international humanitarian law, including notably the\n                killings of civilians in Abu Zereiga in June 2011, Hashaba in August 2012 and Sigili\n                in November 2012; investigations conducted and accountability measures\n                undertaken for attacks against peacekeepers and humanitarian personnel; and the\n                situation of civilian populations in areas such as eastern Jebel Marra, where the\n                Panel of Experts, UNAMID and humanitarian agencies and personnel have been\n                denied access, and measures taken to allow unimpeded and regular access for\n                humanitarian relief to these areas;\n                     12.

           Stressing that the consolidation of peace and stability in Guinea-Bissau can\n               only result from a consensual, inclusive and nationally owned transition process, the\n

pursuant to\n               resolution 2030 (2011), as well as activities of the Peacebuilding Commission and\n               considering in this regard, the need expressed by the Secretary-General to

respect for constitutional order following credible elections that will be acceptable\n               to all and conducive to finding viable and sustainable solutions to the country’s\n               social, economic, political and military problems, which would facilitate the\n               implementation of key reforms and the strengthening of State Institutions,\n                     Deploring the continued lack of effective civilian control and oversight over\n               the defence and security forces, which hampers the political process and effective\n               functioning of State institutions, as a result of collusion between some political\n               actors and the military leadership,\n                   Welcoming the efforts of Economic Community of West African States\n               (ECOWAS) to support the security sector reform (SSR) process in Guinea-Bissau\n               namely through the activities of its Mission in Guinea-Bissau (ECOMIB),\n                    Reiterating serious concern about reports of continuing serious violations and\n               abuses of human rights, as well as the atmosphere of political tension in Guinea-Bissau, and

any lasting solution to instability in Guinea-Bissau should\n               include concrete actions to fight impunity and ensure that those responsible for\n               politically-motivated assassinations and other serious crimes such as drug\n               trafficking-related activities and breaches of constitutional order are brought to\n               justice, including through transitional justice mechanisms,\n                     Reiterating the importance of the continued support of the United Nations and,\n               international, regional, subregional, and bilateral partners for the long-term security\n               and development of Guinea-Bissau, particularly towards the restoration of\n               constitutional order, the implementation of

encouraging enhanced cooperation between UNODC and UNIOGBIS,\n                     Stressing the urgent need to maintain in Guinea-Bissau continuous evaluation\n               capacity and to continue

Stressing the need for increased coherence, coordination and efficiency among\n           relevant partners to enhance their collective efforts toward combating drug\n           trafficking in

territorial waters and exclusive economic zone, which undermines prospects for the\n           country’s economic development,\n                 Reaffirming that Guinea-Bissau’s partners should

undermined the\n           smooth implementation of the mandate conferred by the Council to UNIOGBIS,\n           pursuant to resolution 2030 (2011), as well as the activities of the Peacebuilding\n

and reaffirming that parties to armed conflict\n               bear the primary responsibility to ensure the protection of civilians,\n                    Reaffirming its respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political\n               independence of all States in accordance with the Charter,\n                     Recalling the inclusion of a range of sexual violence offences in the Rome\n               Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the statutes of the ad hoc\n               international criminal tribunals,\n                     Noting the provision in the Arms Trade Treaty that exporting States Parties\n               shall take into account the risk of covered conventional arms or items being used to\n               commit or facilitate serious acts of gender-based violence or serious acts of violence\n               against women and children,\n                    Further recalling that international humanitarian law prohibits rape and other\n               forms of sexual violence,\n                     Recalling the Human Rights Due Diligence Policy on United Nations Support\n               to non-United Nations Security Forces as a tool to enhance compliance with\n               international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law, including to address\n               sexual violence in armed conflict and post-conflict situations,\n                     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General and stressing that the\n               present resolution does not seek to make any legal determination as to whether\n               situations that are referred to in the Secretary-General’s report are or are not armed\n               conflicts within the context of the Geneva Conventions and the Additional Protocols\n               thereto, nor does it prejudge the legal status of non-State parties involved in these\n               situations,\n                     1.   Affirms that sexual violence, when used or commissioned as a method or\n               tactic of war or as a part of a widespread or systematic attack against civilian\n               populations, can significantly exacerbate and prolong situations of armed conflict\n               and may impede the restoration of international peace and security; emphasizes in\n               this regard that effective steps to prevent and respond to such acts significantly\n               contribute to the maintenance of international peace and security; and stresses\n               women’s participation as essential to any prevention and protection response;\n                     2.    Notes that sexual violence can constitute a crime against humanity or a\n               constitutive act with respect to genocide; further recalls that rape and other forms of\n               serious sexual violence in armed conflict are war crimes; calls upon Member States\n               to comply with their relevant obligations to continue to fight impunity by\n               investigating and prosecuting those subject to their jurisdiction who are responsible\n               for such crimes; encourages Member States to include the full range of crimes of\n               sexual violence in national penal legislation to enable prosecutions for such acts;\n               recognizes that effective investigation and documentation of sexual violence in\n               armed conflict is instrumental both in bringing perpetrators to justice and ensuring\n               access to justice for survivors;\n\n\n2                                                                                                         13-37215\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2106 (2013)\n\n\n                 3.   Notes that the fight against impunity for the most serious crimes of\n           international concern committed against women and girls has been strengthened\n           through the work of the ICC, ad hoc and mixed tribunals, as well as specialized\n           chambers in national tribunals; reiterates its intention to continue forcefully to fight\n           impunity and uphold accountability with appropriate means;\n                 4.    Draws attention to the importance of a comprehensive approach to\n           transitional justice in armed conflict and post-conflict situations, encompassing the\n           full range of judicial and non-judicial measures, as appropriate;\n                 5.    Recognizes the need for more systematic monitoring of and attention to\n           sexual violence in armed conflict and post-conflict situations and other women and\n           peace and security commitments in its own work and, in this regard, expresses its\n           intent to employ, as appropriate, all means at its disposal to ensure women’s\n           participation in all aspects of mediation, post-conflict recovery and peacebuilding\n           and to address sexual violence in conflict, including, inter alia, in the establishment\n           and review of peacekeeping and political mandates, public statements, country visits,\n           fact-finding missions, international commissions of inquiry, consultations with\n           regional bodies and in the work of relevant Security Council sanctions committees;\n                 6.   Recognizes the need for more timely, objective, accurate and reliable\n           information as a basis for prevention and response and requests the Secretary-General and relevant United Nations entities to accelerate the establishment and\n           implementation of monitoring, analysis and reporting arrangements on conflictrelated sexual violence, including rape in situations of armed conflict and\n           post-conflict and other situations relevant to the implementation of resolution 1888\n           (2009), as appropriate, and taking into account the specificity of each country;\n                 7.   Calls for the further deployment of Women Protection Advisors (WPA)\n           in accordance with resolution 1888 to facilitate the implementation of Security\n           Council resolutions on women and peace and security and calls upon the Secretary-General to ensure that the need for, and the number and roles of WPAs are\n           systematically assessed during the planning and review of each United Nations\n           peacekeeping and political mission, and to ensure that these experts are adequately\n           trained and deployed in a timely manner; and recognizes the role of UN Action\n           against Sexual Violence in Conflict in facilitating coordinated responses of relevant\n           peacekeeping, humanitarian, human rights, political and security actors and\n           emphasizes the need for enhanced coordination, information sharing, analysis,\n           response planning and implementation across these sectors;\n                8.    Recognizes the distinct role of Gender Advisors in ensuring that gender\n           perspectives are mainstreamed in policies, planning and implementation by all\n           mission elements; calls upon the Secretary-General to continue to deploy Gender\n           Advisors to the relevant United Nations peacekeeping and political missions as well\n           as humanitarian operations and to ensure comprehensive gender training of all\n           relevant peacekeeping and civilian personnel;\n                9.   Acknowledges the efforts of United Nations entities in ensuring United\n           Nations Commissions of Inquiry in armed conflict and post-conflict situations have,\n           where necessary, sexual and gender-based crimes expertise to accurately document\n           such crimes and encourages all Member States to support these efforts;\n                10.

Urges existing sanctions committees, where within the scope of the\n               relevant criteria for designation, and consistent with resolution 1960 (2010) to apply\n               targeted sanctions against those who perpetrate and direct sexual violence in\n               conflict; and reiterates its intention, when adopting or renewing targeted sanctions\n               in situations of armed conflict, to consider including, where appropriate, designation\n               criteria pertaining to acts of rape and other forms of serious sexual violence;\n                     14. Recognizes the role of United Nations peacekeeping contingents in\n               preventing sexual violence, and, in this respect, calls for all predeployment and\n               in-mission training of troop- and police-contributing country contingents to include\n               training on sexual and gender-based violence, which also takes into account the\n               distinct needs of children; further encourages troop- and police-contributing countries\n               to increase the number of women recruited and deployed in peace operations;\n                    15.

Recognizes that women who have been forcefully abducted into armed\n           groups and armed forces, as well as children, are especially vulnerable to sexual\n           violence in armed conflict and post-conflict situations and as such demands that\n           parties to armed conflict immediately identify and release such persons from their\n           ranks;\n                 18. Encourages concerned Member States to draw upon the expertise of the\n           United Nations Team of Experts established pursuant to resolution 1888 (2009) as\n           appropriate to strengthen the rule of law and the capacity of civilian and military\n           justice systems to address sexual violence in armed conflict and post-conflict\n           situations as part of broader efforts to strengthen institutional safeguards against\n           impunity;\n                 19.

    Recalling the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the situation in the buffer\n               zone would be improved if both sides accepted the 1989 aide-memoire used by the\n               United Nations,\n                     Noting with regret that the sides are withholding access to the remaining\n               minefields in the buffer zone, and that demining in Cyprus must

that active participation of civil society groups, including women’s\n               groups, is essential to the political process and can contribute to making any future\n               settlement sustainable, recalling that women play an important role in peace\n               processes, welcoming all efforts to promote bicommunal contacts and events\n               including, inter alia, on the part of all United Nations bodies on the island, and\n               urging the two sides to promote the active engagement of civil society and the\n               encouragement of cooperation between economic and commercial bodies and to\n               remove all obstacles to such contacts,\n                    Stressing the need for the Council to pursue a rigorous, strategic approach

Calls on the Government of Liberia, with support from UNMIL, within\n           existing capabilities, the UNCT and international partners, to continue to support the\n           participation of women in conflict prevention, conflict resolution and peacebuilding,\n           including in decision-making roles in post-conflict governance institutions and the\n           broad range of reform efforts;\n                 13.

     for the maintenance of international peace and security, and noting the significance\n               of small arms and light weapons as the most frequently used weapons in the\n               majority of recent armed conflicts,\n                      Recalling the statements of its President of 19 March 2010 (S/PRST/2010/6),\n               of 14 January 2009 (S/PRST/2009/1), of 29 June

  in Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations and the legitimate security\n               demands of all countries should be fully taken into account, and recognizing that\n               small arms and light weapons are traded, manufactured and retained by States for\n               legitimate security, sporting and commercial considerations,\n                     Gravely concerned that the

to the safety and security of humanitarian workers and\n               their effective provision of humanitarian assistance,\n                     Recalling with grave concern that the illicit

development and\n               socioeconomic consequences, in particular on the security of civilians in armed\n               conflict, including the disproportionate impact on violence perpetrated against\n               women and girls, and exacerbating sexual and gender-based violence and the\n               recruitment and use of children by parties to armed conflict in violation of\n               applicable international law,\n                    Noting that this resolution focuses on the illicit transfer, destabilizing\n               accumulation and misuse of small arms and light

situations that threaten or breach international peace and security, and\n               acknowledging also the contribution Council-mandated arms embargoes make in\n               supporting conflict prevention, post-conflict peacebuilding, disarmament,\n               demobilization and reintegration and security sector reform,\n                     Recognizing the value of effective physical security and management of\n               stockpiles of small arms, light weapons and ammunition as an important means to\n               prevent the illicit transfer, destabilizing accumulation and misuse of small arms and\n               light weapons, in accordance with global and regional standards, including through\n               the application of voluntary guidelines, such as the

On 30 June 2012, the Secretaries-General of the United Nations and the\n           League of Arab States, the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of China, France, the\n           Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the\n           United States of America, Turkey, Iraq (Chair of the Summit of the League of Arab\n           States), Kuwait (Chair of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the League of Arab\n           States) and Qatar (Chair of the Arab Follow-up Committee on Syria of the League\n           of Arab States) and the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign\n           Affairs and Security Policy met at the United Nations Office at Geneva as the\n           Action Group for Syria, chaired by the Joint Special Envoy of the United Nations\n           and the League of Arab States to Syria.\n           2.    The members of the Action Group came together out of grave alarm at the\n           situation in the Syrian Arab Republic. They strongly condemn the continued and\n           escalating killing, destruction and human rights abuses. They are deeply concerned\n           at the failure to protect civilians, the intensification of the violence, the potential for\n           even deeper conflict in the country and the regional dimensions of the problem. The\n           unacceptable nature and magnitude of the crisis demands a common position and\n           joint international action.\n           3.    The members of the Action Group are committed to the sovereignty,\n           independence, national unity and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic.\n           They are determined to work urgently and intensively to bring about an end to the\n           violence and human rights abuses, and to facilitate the launch of a Syrian-led\n           political process leading to a transition that meets the legitimate aspirations of the\n           Syrian people and enables them independently and democratically to determine their\n           own future.\n           4.    In order to secure these common objectives, the members of the Action Group\n           (a) identified steps and measures by the parties to secure the full implementation of\n           the six-point plan and Security Council resolutions 2042 (2012) and 2043 (2012),\n           including an immediate cessation of violence in all its forms; (b) agreed on\n           principles and guidelines for a political transition that meets the legitimate\n           aspirations of the Syrian people; and (c) agreed on actions that they would take to\n           implement the objectives in support of the Joint Special Envoy’s efforts to facilitate\n           a Syrian-led political process. They are convinced that this can encourage and\n           support progress on the ground and will help to facilitate and support a Syrian-led\n           transition.\n\n           Identified steps and measures by the parties to secure the full implementation of\n           the six-point plan and Security Council resolutions 2042 (2012) and 2043 (2012),\n           including an immediate cessation of violence in all its forms\n           5.    The parties must fully implement the six-point plan and Security Council\n           resolutions 2042 (2012) and 2043 (2012). To that end:\n                 (a) All parties must recommit to a sustained cessation of armed violence in\n           all its forms and to the implementation of the six-point plan immediately and\n\n\n13-48923                                                                                                         9/13\n\nS/RES/2118 (2013)\n\n\n               without waiting for the actions of others. The Government and armed opposition\n               groups must cooperate with the United Nations Supervision Mission in the Syrian\n               Arab Republic (UNSMIS), with a view to furthering the implementation of the plan\n               in accordance with the Mission’s mandate;\n                    (b) A cessation of armed violence must be sustained, with immediate,\n               credible and visible actions by the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic to\n               implement the other items of the six-point plan, including:\n                       (i) Intensification of the pace and scale of release of arbitrarily detained\n                       persons, including especially vulnerable categories of persons, and persons\n                       involved in peaceful political activities; the provision, without delay and\n                       through appropriate channels, of a list of all places in which such persons are\n                       being detained; the immediate organization of access to such locations; and the\n                       provision, through appropriate channels, of prompt responses to all written\n                       requests for information, access or release regarding such persons;\n                       (ii) Ensuring freedom of movement throughout the country for journalists\n                       and a non-discriminatory visa policy for them;\n                       (iii) Respecting freedom of association and the right to demonstrate\n                       peacefully, as legally guaranteed;\n                    (c) In all circumstances, all parties must show full respect for the safety and\n               security of UNSMIS and fully cooperate with and facilitate the Mission in all\n               respects;\n                     (d) In all circumstances, the Government must allow immediate and full\n               humanitarian access by humanitarian organizations to all areas affected by the\n               fighting. The Government and all parties must enable the evacuation of the\n               wounded, and all civilians who wish to leave must be enabled to do so. All parties\n               must fully adhere to their obligations under international law, including in relation\n               to the protection of civilians.\n\n               Agreed principles and guidelines for a Syrian-led transition\n               6.   The members of the Action Group agreed on the principles and guidelines for\n               a Syrian-led transition set out below.\n               7.  Any political settlement must deliver to the people of the Syrian Arab\n               Republic a transition that:\n                    (a) Offers a perspective for the future that can be shared by all in the Syrian\n               Arab Republic;\n                     (b) Establishes clear steps according to a firm timetable towards the\n               realization of that perspective;\n                       (c)   Can be implemented in a climate of safety for all and of stability and\n               calm;\n                       (d)   Is reached rapidly without further bloodshed and violence and is credible.\n               8.    Perspective for the future. The aspirations of the people of the Syrian Arab\n               Republic have been clearly expressed by the wide range of Syrians consulted. There\n               is an overwhelming wish for a State that:\n\n\n\n10/13                                                                                                     13-48923\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2118 (2013)\n\n\n                (a) Is genuinely democratic and pluralistic, giving space to established and\n           newly emerging political actors to compete fairly and equally in elections. This also\n           means that the commitment to multiparty democracy must be a lasting one, going\n           beyond an initial round of elections;\n                 (b) Complies with international standards on human rights, the independence\n           of the judiciary, accountability of those in Government and the rule of law. It is not\n           enough just to enunciate such a commitment. There must be mechanisms available\n           to the people to ensure that these commitments are kept by those in authority;\n                 (c) Offers equal opportunities and chances for all. There is no room for\n           sectarianism or discrimination on ethnic, religious, linguistic or any other grounds.\n           Numerically smaller communities must be assured that their rights will be respected.\n           9.    Clear steps in the transition. The conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic will\n           end only when all sides are assured that there is a peaceful way towards a common\n           future for all in the country. It is therefore essential that any settlement provide for\n           clear and irreversible steps in the transition according to a fixed time frame. The key\n           steps in any transition include:\n                 (a) The establishment of a transitional governing body that can establish a\n           neutral environment in which the transition can take place, with the transitional\n           governing body exercising full executive powers. It could include members of the\n           present Government and the opposition and other groups and shall be formed on the\n           basis of mutual consent;\n                 (b) It is for the Syrian people to determine the future of the country. All\n           groups and segments of society in the Syrian Arab Republic must be enabled to\n           participate in a national dialogue process. That process must be not only inclusive\n           but also meaningful. In other words, its key outcomes must be implemented;\n                 (c) On that basis, there can be a review of the constitutional order and the\n           legal system. The result of constitutional drafting would be subject to popular\n           approval;\n                 (d) Upon establishment of the new constitutional order, it will be necessary\n           to prepare for and conduct free and fair multiparty elections for the new institutions\n           and offices that have been established;\n                (e)   Women must be fully represented in all aspects of the transition.\n           10. Safety, stability and calm. Any transition involves change. However, it is\n           essential to ensure that the transition can be implemented in a way that ensures the\n           safety of all in an atmosphere of stability and calm. This requires:\n                 (a) Consolidation of full calm and stability. All parties must cooperate with\n           the transitional governing body to ensure the permanent cessation of violence. This\n           includes completion of withdrawals and addressing the issue of the disarmament,\n           demobilization and reintegration of armed groups;\n                (b) Effective steps to ensure that vulnerable groups are protected and that\n           immediate action is taken to address humanitarian issues in areas of need. It is also\n           necessary to ensure that the release of the detained is completed rapidly;\n                 (c) Continuity of governmental institutions and qualified staff. Public\n           services must be preserved or restored. This includes the military forces and security\n\n\n\n13-48923                                                                                                     11/13\n\nS/RES/2118 (2013)\n\n\n               services. However, all governmental institutions, including the intelligence services,\n               have to perform according to human rights and professional standards and operate\n               under a leadership that inspires public confidence, under the control of the\n               transitional governing body;\n                    (d) Commitment          to   accountability and   national     reconciliation.\n               Accountability for acts committed during the present conflict must be addressed.\n               There also needs to be a comprehensive package for transitional justice, including\n               compensation or rehabilitation for victims of the present conflict, steps towards\n               national reconciliation and forgiveness.\n               11. Rapid steps to come to a credible political agreement. It is for the people of\n               the Syrian Arab Republic to come to a political agreement, but time is running out.\n               It is clear that:\n                    (a) The sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of the\n               Syrian Arab Republic must be respected;\n                    (b) The conflict must be resolved through peaceful dialogue and negotiation\n               alone. Conditions conducive to a political settlement must now be put in place;\n                    (c) There must be an end to the bloodshed. All parties must recommit\n               themselves credibly to the six-point plan. This must include a cessation of armed\n               violence in all its forms and immediate, credible and visible actions to implement\n               points 2 to 6 of the six-point plan;\n                     (d) All parties must now engage genuinely with the Joint Special Envoy. The\n               parties must be prepared to put forward effective interlocutors to work expeditiously\n               towards a Syrian-led settlement that meets the legitimate aspirations of the people.\n               The process must be fully inclusive in order to ensure that the views of all segments\n               of Syrian society are heard in shaping the political settlement for the transition;\n                     (e) The organized international community, including the members of the\n               Action Group, stands ready to offer significant support for the implementation of an\n               agreement reached by the parties. This may include an international assistance\n               presence under a United Nations mandate if requested.

Recognizing that the on-going instability in Somalia contributes to the problem\n               of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and stressing the need\n               to

            Noting with concern that the continuing limited capacity and domestic\n           legislation to facilitate the custody and prosecution of suspected pirates after their\n           capture has hindered more robust international action against the pirates off the\n           coast of Somalia, too often has led to pirates being released without facing justice,\n           regardless of whether there is sufficient evidence to support prosecution, and\n           reiterating that, consistent with the provisions of “The Convention” concerning the\n           repression of piracy, the

the coast of Somalia, and welcoming the on-going\n               work of the IMO, INTERPOL, and industry groups to develop guidance to seafarers\n               on preservation of crime scenes following acts of piracy, and noting the importance\n               for the successful prosecution of acts of piracy of enabling seafarers to give\n               evidence in criminal proceedings,\n                     Further recognizing that pirate networks continue to rely on kidnapping and\n               hostage-taking, and that these activities help generate funding to purchase weapons,\n               gain recruits, and continue their operational activities, thereby jeopardizing the\n               safety and security of civilians and restricting the flow of free commerce, and\n               welcoming international efforts to collect and share information to disrupt the pirate\n               enterprise, as exemplified by INTERPOL’s Global Database on Maritime Piracy,\n               and taking note of the on-going efforts of the Regional Fusion and Law Enforcement\n               Centre for Safety and Security at Sea (formerly the Regional Anti Piracy\n               Prosecution and Intelligence Coordination Centre), hosted by Seychelles to combat\n               piracy,\n                     Reaffirming international condemnation of acts of kidnapping and hostagetaking, including offences contained within the International Convention against the\n               Taking of Hostages, strongly condemning the continuing practice of hostage-taking\n               by pirates operating off the coast of Somalia, expressing serious concern at the\n               inhuman conditions hostages face in captivity, recognizing the adverse impact on\n               their families, calling for the immediate release of all hostages, and noting the\n               importance of cooperation between Member States on the issue of hostage-taking\n               and the prosecution of suspected pirates for taking hostages,\n                     Commending Kenya, Mauritius, Seychelles and Tanzania for their efforts to\n               prosecute suspected pirates in their national courts, and noting with appreciation the\n               assistance provided by the UNODC Counter-Piracy Programme, the Trust Fund and\n               other international organizations and donors, in coordination with the CGPCS, to\n               support Kenya, Mauritius, Seychelles, Tanzania, Somalia, and other States in the\n               region with their efforts to prosecute, or incarcerate in a third State after prosecution\n               elsewhere, pirates, including facilitators and financiers ashore, consistent with\n               applicable international human rights law, and emphasizing the need for States and\n               international organizations to further enhance international efforts in this regard,\n                     Welcoming the readiness of the national and regional administrations of\n               Somalia to cooperate with each other and with States who have prosecuted\n               suspected pirates with a view to enabling convicted pirates to be repatriated back to\n               Somalia under suitable prisoner transfer arrangements, consistent with applicable\n               international law, including international human rights law, and acknowledging the\n               return from Seychelles to Somalia of convicted prisoners willing and eligible to\n               serve their sentences in Somalia,\n                     Recalling the reports of the Secretary-General on the modalities for the\n               establishment of specialized Somali anti-piracy courts (S/2011/360 and S/2012/50),\n

of the “Hostage Support Programme” to provide\n           support to hostages during their release and return home, as well as to their families\n           throughout the hostage situation,\n                Recognizing the progress made by the CGPCS and UNODC in the use of\n           public information tools to raise awareness of the dangers of piracy, highlight the\n           best practices to eradicate this criminal phenomenon, and inform the public of the\n           dangers posed by piracy,\n                 Further noting with appreciation the on-going efforts by UNODC to support\n           efforts to enhance Somalia’s maritime security and law enforcement capacities, also\n           noting efforts by UNODC and UNDP and the funding provided by the Trust Fund,\n           the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other donors to\n           develop regional judicial and law enforcement capacity to investigate, arrest, and\n           prosecute suspected pirates and to incarcerate convicted pirates consistent with\n           applicable international human rights law,\n                 Bearing in mind the Djibouti Code of Conduct concerning the Repression of\n           Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in the Western Indian Ocean and the Gulf\n           of Aden, noting the operations of information-sharing centres in Yemen, Kenya and\n           Tanzania and the regional maritime training centre in Djibouti, and recognizing the\n           efforts of signatory States to develop the appropriate regulatory and legislative\n           frameworks to combat piracy, enhance their capacity to patrol the waters of the\n           region, interdict suspect vessels, and prosecute suspected pirates,\n                 Emphasizing that peace and stability within Somalia, the strengthening of State\n           institutions, economic and social development and respect for human rights and the\n           rule of law are necessary to create the conditions for a durable eradication of piracy\n           and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and further emphasizing that\n           Somalia’s long-term security rests with the effective development by Somali\n           authorities of the Somali National Security Forces,\n                Noting with appreciation recent high-level events on Somalia which have\n           generated substantial pledges of support, and underlining the importance of\n           delivering on any support pledged at these events,\n                Taking note with appreciation the intention expressed by the Indian Ocean Rim\n           Association at the thirteenth meeting of its Council of Ministers to bolster maritime\n           security and safety, including through the upcoming Indian Ocean Dialogue in India,\n           which will explore concrete options to enhance counter-piracy cooperation,\n           including through improved maritime information-sharing arrangements and\n           stronger national legal capacity and laws, and encouraging the Indian Ocean Rim\n           Association to pursue efforts that are complementary to and coordinated with the\n           on-going work of the CGPCS,\n                 Noting that the joint counter-piracy efforts of the international community and\n           private sector have resulted in a sharp decline in pirate attacks as well as hijackings\n           since 2011 and emphasizing that without further action, the significant progress\n           made in reducing the number of successful pirate attacks is reversible,\n                Determining that the incidents of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast\n           of Somalia are an important factor exacerbating the situation in Somalia, which\n           continues to constitute a threat to international peace and security in the region,\n                Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n\n\n13-56844                                                                                                      5/9\n\nS/RES/2125 (2013)\n\n\n                    1.    Reiterates that it condemns and deplores all acts of piracy and armed\n               robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia;\n                     2.    Recognizes that the on-going instability in Somalia is one of the\n               underlying causes of the problem of piracy and contributes to the problem of piracy\n               and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, while piracy, in turn, exacerbates\n               instability by introducing large amounts of illicit cash that fuels additional crime\n               and corruption in Somalia;\n                     3.    Stresses the need for a comprehensive response to repress piracy and\n               tackle its underlying causes by the international community;\n                    4.    Underlines the primary responsibility of Somali authorities in the fight\n               against piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and requests the\n               Somali authorities, with assistance from the Secretary-General and relevant United\n               Nations entities, to pass a complete set of anti-piracy laws without further delay, and\n               urges Somalia to continue efforts, with the support of the international community,\n               to adopt an exclusive economic zone in accordance with “The Convention”;\n                     5.    Recognizes the need to continue investigating and prosecuting those who\n               plan, organize or illicitly finance or profit from pirate attacks off the coast of\n               Somalia, including key figures of criminal networks involved in piracy, urges States,\n               working in conjunction with relevant international organizations, to adopt\n               legislation to facilitate prosecution of suspected pirates off the coast of Somalia;\n                    6.    Calls upon the Somali authorities to interdict, and upon interdiction to\n               investigate and prosecute pirates and to patrol the territorial waters off the coast of\n               Somalia to suppress acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea;\n                     7.   Calls upon the Somali authorities to make all efforts to bring to justice\n               those who are using Somali territory to plan, facilitate, or undertake criminal acts of\n               piracy and armed robbery at sea and calls upon Member States to assist Somalia, at\n               the request of Somali authorities and with notification to the Secretary-General, to\n               strengthen maritime capacity in Somalia, including regional authorities and stresses\n               that any measures undertaken pursuant to this paragraph shall be consistent with\n               applicable international law, in particular international human rights law;\n                    8.    Calls upon States to cooperate also, as appropriate, on the issue of\n               hostage taking, and the prosecution of suspected pirates for taking hostages;\n                     9.   Recognizes the need for States, international and regional organizations,\n               and other appropriate partners to exchange evidence and information for anti-piracy\n               law enforcement purposes with a view to ensuring effective prosecution of\n               suspected, and imprisonment of convicted, pirates and with a view to the arrest and\n               prosecution of key figures of criminal networks involved in piracy who plan,\n               organize, facilitate, or illicitly finance and profit from piracy operations, and keeps\n               under review the possibility of applying targeted sanctions against individuals or\n               entities that plan, organize, facilitate, or illicitly finance or profit from piracy\n               operations if they meet the listing criteria set out in paragraph 8, resolution 1844\n               (2008); and calls upon all States to cooperate fully with the Somalia and Eritrea\n               Monitoring Group including on information-sharing regarding possible violations of\n               the arms embargo or charcoal ban;\n                    10. Renews its call upon States and regional organizations that have the\n               capacity to do so, to take part in the fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea\n\n\n6/9                                                                                                      13-56844\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2125 (2013)\n\n\n           off the coast of Somalia, in particular, consistent with this resolution and\n           international law, by deploying naval vessels, arms, military aircraft, by providing\n           basing and logistical support for counter-piracy forces, and by seizing and disposing\n           of boats, vessels, arms, and other related equipment used in the commission of\n           piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, or for which there are\n           reasonable grounds for suspecting such use;\n                 11. Commends the work of the CGPCS to facilitate coordination in order to\n           deter acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, in\n           cooperation with the IMO, flag States, and Somali authorities and urges States and\n           international organizations to continue to support these efforts;\n                 12.

Affirms that the authorizations renewed in this resolution apply only with\n           respect to the situation in Somalia and shall not affect the rights or obligations or\n           responsibilities of Member States under international law, including any rights or\n           obligations, under “The Convention”, with respect to any other situation, and\n           underscores in particular that this resolution shall not be considered as establishing\n           customary international law; and affirms further that such authorizations have been\n           renewed only following the receipt of the 12 November 2013 letter conveying the\n           consent of Somali authorities;\n                 14.

Requests that cooperating States take appropriate steps to ensure that the\n           activities they undertake pursuant to the authorizations in paragraph 12 do not have\n           the practical effect of denying or impairing the right of innocent passage to the ships\n           of any third State;\n                 16. Calls upon all States, and in particular flag, port, and coastal States,\n           States of the nationality of victims, and perpetrators of piracy and armed robbery,\n           and other States with relevant jurisdiction under international law and national\n           legislation, to cooperate in determining jurisdiction, and in the investigation and\n           prosecution of all persons responsible for acts of piracy and armed robbery off the\n           coast of Somalia, including anyone who incites or facilitates an act of piracy,\n\n\n\n13-56844                                                                                                      7/9\n\nS/RES/2125 (2013)\n\n\n               consistent with applicable international law including international human rights\n               law to ensure that all pirates handed over to judicial authorities are subject to a\n               judicial process, and to render assistance by, among other actions, providing\n               disposition and logistics assistance with respect to persons under their jurisdiction\n               and control, such as victims and witnesses and persons detained as a result of\n               operations conducted under this resolution;\n                     17. Calls upon all States to criminalize piracy under their domestic law and\n               to favourably consider the prosecution of suspected, and imprisonment of those\n               convicted, pirates apprehended off the coast of Somalia, and their facilitators and\n               financiers ashore, consistent with applicable international law, including\n               international human rights law;\n                    18. Reiterates its decision to continue its consideration of the establishment\n               of specialized anti-piracy courts in Somalia and other States in the region with\n               substantial international participation and/or support, as set forth in resolution 2015\n               (2011), and the importance of such courts having jurisdiction over not only suspects\n               captured at sea, but also anyone who incites or intentionally facilitates piracy\n               operations, including key figures of criminal networks involved in piracy who plan,\n               organize, facilitate, or illicitly finance or profit from such attack, and encourages\n               the CGPCS to continue its discussions in this regard;\n                     19. Welcomes, in this context, the UNODC Counter-Piracy Programme’s\n               continued work with authorities in Somalia and in neighbouring States to ensure that\n               individuals suspected of piracy are prosecuted and those convicted are imprisoned\n               in a manner consistent with international law, including international human rights\n               law;\n                    20. Urges all States to take appropriate actions under their existing domestic\n               law to prevent the illicit financing of acts of piracy and the laundering of its\n               proceeds;\n                    21. Urges States, in cooperation with INTERPOL and Europol, to further\n               investigate international criminal networks involved in piracy off the coast of\n               Somalia, including those responsible for illicit financing and facilitation;\n                    22. Commends INTERPOL for operationalizing a global piracy database that\n               consolidates information about piracy off the coast of Somalia and facilitates the\n               development of actionable analysis for law enforcement, and urges all States to\n               share such information with INTERPOL for use in the database, through appropriate\n               channels;\n                    23. Commends the contributions of the Trust Fund and the IMO-funded\n               Djibouti Code of Conduct and urges both state and non-State actors affected by\n               piracy, most notably the international shipping community, to contribute to them;\n                     24. Urges States parties to “The Convention” and the SUA Convention to\n               implement fully their relevant obligations under these conventions and customary\n               international law and to cooperate with the UNODC, IMO, and other States and\n               other international organizations to build judicial capacity for the successful\n               prosecution of persons suspected of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of\n               Somalia;\n                    25.

Encourages flag States and port States to further consider the\n           development of safety and security measures on board vessels, including, where\n           applicable, developing regulations for the use of PCASP on board ships, aimed at\n           preventing and suppressing piracy off the coast of Somalia, through a consultative\n           process, including through the IMO and ISO;\n                 27. Invites the IMO to continue its contributions to the prevention and\n           suppression of acts of piracy and armed robbery against ships in coordination, in\n           particular, with the UNODC, the World Food Program (WFP), the shipping industry,\n           and all other parties concerned, and recognizes the IMO’s role concerning privately\n           contracted armed security personnel on board ships in high-risk areas;\n                 28.

demonstration and attempted forced entry by some Ngok Dinka at UNISFA’s\n               headquarters, and welcoming the peaceful resolution to the protest through a\n               meeting with the

particular\n           issues related to nomadic migration, which are essential to maintain law and order\n           and prevent intercommunal conflict in Abyei,\n                Noting with concern the continued threat of intercommunal violence in the\n           Abyei Area, including the ongoing tensions that prevent UNISFA’s and other\n           agencies’ Sudanese staff from returning to Abyei,\n                 Noting that the continued delay in establishing the temporary institutions and\n           resolving the final status of Abyei contributes to tension in the region, emphasizing\n           the importance of all parties refraining from any unilateral action to aggravate\n           intercommunal relations within Abyei Area, and expressing concern over what the\n           AUPSC described in their November 6 press statement as “the decision by the Ngok\n           Dinka to conduct a unilateral referendum”, in contravention of the agreements\n           signed between the two sides, and despite the calls for restraint from the\n           international community, including the United Nations Security Council, AU Peace\n           and Security Council and

     children, taking note that there have been no developments with regard to the\n           operationalization of human rights monitoring in the Abyei Area, and reiterating its\n           concern at the lack of cooperation by the parties with the Secretary-General to this\n           end,\n                  Stressing the urgency of facilitating the delivery of humanitarian assistance to\n           all affected communities in the Abyei Area,\n                 Affirming the importance of voluntary, safe, orderly return and sustainable\n           reintegration of displaced persons, and of peaceful and orderly migration cycles\n           respecting the traditional migratory routes from Sudan to South Sudan through\n\n\n\n13-58072

the residual threat of landmines and explosive remnants of\n               war in the Abyei Area, which hinders the safe return of displaced persons to their\n               homes and safe migration,\n                    Recognizing that the current situation in Abyei and along the border between\n               the Sudan and South Sudan continues to constitute a serious threat to international\n               peace and security,\n                     Welcoming the steps taken by UNISFA towards the effective implementation of\n               its mandate, including, inter alia, through conflict prevention, mediation and\n               deterrence,\n                     1.    Decides to extend until 31 May 2014 the mandate of the United Nations\n               Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) as set out in paragraph 2 of resolution\n               1990 (2011) and modified by resolution 2024 (2011) and paragraph 1 of resolution\n               2075 (2012), and acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n               further decides to extend until 31 May 2014 the mandate of UNISFA as set out in\n               paragraph 3 of resolution 1990, and determines that for the purposes of paragraph 1\n               of resolution 2024 (2011), support to the operational activities of the JBVMM shall\n               include support to the Ad Hoc Committees, as appropriate when so requested by\n               consensual decisions of these mechanisms, within UNISFA’s operational area and\n               existing capabilities;\n                     2.    Takes note of the deployment in October of the initial group of 117 troops\n               authorized by resolution 2104 (2013) and urges deployment of the remaining\n               authorized forces as soon as possible to enable UNISFA to provide required force\n               protection to the JBVMM and to enable UNISFA to fully support the JBVMM to\n               conduct extended operations into the SDBZ as soon as possible, and requests the\n               Secretary-General to keep the Council fully updated on the status of deployment as\n               part of his regular reporting cycle;\n                     3.  Welcomes the continued and effective efforts to fully operationalize the\n               JBVMM, and calls on the Government of Sudan and the Government of South\n               Sudan to make timely and effective use of the JBVMM, JPSM, and other agreed\n               joint mechanisms to ensure the security and transparency of the SDBZ, including\n               the “14 Mile Area”;\n                     4.    Welcomes also the creation of the AU Border Programme Technical Team\n               (AUBP TT) to determine conclusively the SDBZ centreline on the ground, and\n               reiterates that the centreline of the SDBZ in no way prejudices the current or future\n               legal status of the border, ongoing negotiations on the disputed and claimed areas,\n               and demarcation of the borders, welcoming further both Governments’ commitments\n               to accept the AUBP TT’s findings;\n                    5.    Underscores that UNISFA’s protection of civilians mandate as set out in\n               paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011) includes taking the necessary actions to\n               protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence, irrespective of the\n               source of such violence;\n\n\n\n4/7                                                                                                     13-58072\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/2126 (2013)\n\n\n                 6.    Welcomes the redeployment of Sudanese military and South Sudanese\n           military and police personnel from the Abyei Area in compliance with resolution\n           2046, and reiterates its demand that the Government of Sudan redeploy the Oil\n           Police in Diffra from the Abyei Area immediately and without preconditions, and\n           further reiterates, in accordance with relevant resolutions, in particular resolution\n           1990 and resolution 2046, that the Abyei Area shall be demilitarized from any\n           forces, as well as armed elements of the local communities, other than UNISFA and\n           the Abyei Police Service;\n                 7.   Reiterates its demand that Sudan and South Sudan urgently commence\n           the establishment of the Abyei Area Administration and Council, including by\n           resolving the deadlock over the composition of the Council, and constitute the\n           Abyei Police Service, to enable it to take over policing functions throughout the\n           Abyei Area, including the protection of oil infrastructure, in accordance with their\n           commitments in the 20 June 2011 Agreement;\n                8.

      the most serious threats to international peace and security and that any acts of\n               terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable regardless of their motivations, whenever\n               and by whomsoever committed and remaining determined to contribute further to\n               enhancing the effectiveness of the overall effort to fight this scourge on a global\n               level,\n                     Noting with concern that terrorism continues to pose a serious threat to\n               international peace and security, the enjoyment of human rights, the social and\n               economic development of all Member States, and undermines global stability and\n               prosperity, that this threat has become more diffuse, with an increase, in various\n               regions of the world, of terrorist acts including those motivated by intolerance or\n               extremism, expressing its determination to combat this threat, and stressing the need\n               to ensure that counter-terrorism remains a priority on the international agenda,\n                     Recognizing that terrorism will not be defeated by military force, law\n               enforcement measures, and intelligence operations alone, and underlining the need\n               to address the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism, as outlined in Pillar I\n               of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy (A/RES/60/288) including,\n               but not limited to, the need to strengthen efforts for the successful prevention and\n

inclusiveness to offer a viable alternative to those who could be\n               susceptible to terrorist recruitment and to radicalization leading to violence,\n                     Recognizing that development, security, and human rights are mutually\n               reinforcing and are vital to an effective and comprehensive approach to countering\n               terrorism, and underlining that

for the rule of law so as to effectively prevent and\n               combat terrorism,\n                     Reaffirming also that terrorism cannot and should not be associated with any\n               religion, nationality, civilization or group,\n                     Emphasizing that continuing international efforts to enhance dialogue and\n               broaden understanding among civilizations in an effort to prevent the indiscriminate\n               targeting of different religions and cultures, and addressing unresolved regional\n               conflicts and the full range of global issues, including development issues, will\n               contribute to strengthening the international fight against terrorism,\n                    Expressing deep concern that incitement of terrorist acts motivated by\n               extremism and intolerance poses a serious and growing danger to the enjoyment of\n               human rights, threatens the social and economic development

terrorist groups for any purpose, including with the aim of raising funds or gaining\n               political concessions, deeply concerned by the increase in such kidnappings, and\n

  and human trafficking, and money-laundering, and emphasizes the need to enhance\n               coordination of efforts on national, subregional, regional and international levels in\n               order to strengthen a global response to this serious challenge and threat to\n               international security,\n                     Reiterating the obligation of Member States to prevent and

     Reaffirming the obligation of Member States to freeze without delay funds and\n               other financial assets or economic resources of persons who commit, or attempt to\n               commit, terrorist acts or participate in or facilitate the commission of terrorist acts;\n               of entities owned or controlled directly or indirectly by such persons; and of persons\n

     indirectly by such persons and associated persons and entities,\n                     Reaffirming further the obligation of Member States to prohibit their nationals\n               or any

Reiterating that sanctions are an important tool in countering terrorism, and\n           underlines the importance of prompt and effective implementation of relevant\n           resolutions, in particular Security Council resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011)\n           as key instruments in the fight against terrorism, and reiterates its continued\n           commitment to ensure that

          Underlining that safe havens provided to terrorists continue to be a significant\n           concern and that all Member States must cooperate fully in the fight against\n           terrorism in order to find, deny safe haven and bring to justice, on the basis of the\n           principle of extradite or prosecute, any person who supports, facilitates, participates\n           or attempts to participate in the financing, planning, preparation or commission of\n           terrorist acts or provides safe havens,\n                 Expressing concern at the increased use, in a

(S/2013/781) on the United Nations operation in Cyprus,\n                    Noting that the Government of Cyprus is agreed that in view of the prevailing\n               conditions on the island it

his Good Offices in\n               the next reporting period, and echoing the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the\n               responsibility for finding a solution lies first and foremost

 Cypriots that would flow from a comprehensive and durable Cyprus settlement,\n               urging the two sides and their leaders to foster positive public rhetoric, and\n               encouraging them clearly to explain the benefits of the settlement, as well as the\n               need for increased flexibility and compromise in order to secure it, to both\n               communities well in advance of any eventual referenda,\n                    Considering that undermining the United Nations’ credibility undermines the\n               peace process itself,\n                    Highlighting the importance of the supporting role of the international\n               community, and in particular that of the parties concerned in taking practical steps\n               towards helping the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders to exploit fully the\n               current opportunity,\n                     Taking note of the assessment of the Secretary-General that the security\n               situation on the island and along the Green Line remains stable, and urging all sides\n               to avoid any action which could lead to an increase in tension, undermine the\n               progress achieved so far, or damage the goodwill on the island,\n                    Recalling the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the situation in the buffer\n               zone would be improved if both sides accepted the 1989 aide-memoire used by the\n               United Nations,\n                     Noting with regret that the sides are withholding access to the remaining\n               minefields in the buffer zone, and that demining in Cyprus must continue, noting the\n               continued danger posed by mines in Cyprus, and urging rapid agreement

of the Committee on Missing\n               Persons, urging the opening up of access to all areas to allow the Committee to\n               carry out their work, and trusting that this process will promote reconciliation\n               between the communities,\n                     Agreeing that active participation of civil society groups, including women’s\n               groups, is essential to the political process and can contribute to making any future\n               settlement sustainable, recalling that women play a critically important role in peace\n               processes, welcoming all efforts to promote bicommunal contacts and events\n               including, inter alia, on the part of all United Nations bodies on the island, and\n               urging the two sides to promote the active engagement of civil society and the\n               encouragement of cooperation between economic and commercial bodies and to\n               remove all obstacles to such contacts,\n                    Stressing the need for the Council to pursue a rigorous, strategic approach to\n               peacekeeping deployments,\n                    Welcoming the intention of the Secretary-General to keep all peacekeeping\n               operations under close review to ensure efficiency and effectiveness, including a\n               review of UNFICYP when appropriate, and

adjustments to UNFICYP’s mandate, force levels and other resources and\n           concept of operations, taking into account developments on the ground and the\n           views of the parties,\n

Secretary-General’s gratitude to the Government of Cyprus and\n           the Government of Greece for their voluntary contributions to the funding of\n           UNFICYP, and his request for further voluntary contributions from other countries\n           and organizations, and expressing appreciation to member states that contribute\n           personnel to UNFICYP,\n                Welcoming and encouraging efforts by the United Nations to sensitize\n           peacekeeping personnel in the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS and other\n           communicable diseases in all its peacekeeping operations,\n                1.    Acknowledges the progress made so far in the fully fledged negotiations,\n           but notes that this has not been sufficient and has not yet resulted in a\n           comprehensive and durable settlement, and urges the sides to continue their\n           discussions to reach decisive progress on the core issues;\n                2.

or\n           undermine the Parties’ commitment to a complete and durable cessation of\n           hostilities would be inconsistent with the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur,\n                 Determining that the situation in Sudan continues to constitute a threat to\n           international peace and security in the region,\n                Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the

Calls upon the Government of Sudan to address the illicit transfer,\n               destabilizing accumulation, and misuse of small arms and light weapons in Darfur,\n               and to ensure the safe and effective management, storage and security of their\n               stockpiles of small arms and light weapons, and the collection and/or destruction of\n               surplus, seized, unmarked, or illicitly held weapons and ammunition;\n                     7.    Expresses its concern that certain items continue to be converted for\n               military purposes and transferred to Darfur, and urges all States to be mindful of this\n               risk in light of the measures contained in resolution 1591 (2005);\n\n               Implementation\n                     8.

Reiterates that all States shall take the necessary measures to prevent\n               entry into or transit through their territories of all persons as designated by the\n               Committee, and calls upon the Government of Sudan to enhance cooperation and\n               information sharing with other States in this regard;\n                  11. Urges all States, in particular those in the region, to report to the\n               Committee on the actions they have taken to implement measures imposed by\n\n\n\n4/6                                                                                                        14-23546\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/2138 (2014)\n\n\n           resolutions 1591 (2005) and 1556 (2004), including imposition of targeted\n           measures;\n                12.

Regrets that some individuals of the Government of Sudan and armed\n           groups in Darfur continue to commit violence against civilians, impede the peace\n           process, and disregard the demands of the Council, expresses its intention to impose\n           targeted sanctions against individuals and entities that meet the listing criteria in\n           paragraph 3 (c) of resolution 1591 (2005), and encourages the Panel of Experts, in\n           coordination with the Joint African Union/United Nations Mediation, to provide to\n           the Committee when appropriate the names of any individuals, groups, or entities\n           that may meet the listing criteria;\n                 14. Requests the Panel of Experts to continue to investigate the financing and\n           role of armed, military, and political groups in attacks against UNAMID personnel\n           in Darfur, and notes that individuals and entities who plan, sponsor or participate in\n           such attacks constitute a threat to stability in Darfur and may therefore meet the\n           designation criteria provided for in paragraph 3 (c) of resolution 1591 (2005);\n                15. Welcomes the Committee’s work, which has drawn on the reports of the\n           Panel and taken advantage of the work done in other fora, to draw attention to the\n           responsibilities of private sector actors in conflict-affected areas;\n\n           Cooperation\n                 16. Calls on the Government of Sudan to remove all restrictions, limitations\n           and bureaucratic impediments imposed on the work of the Panel of Experts,\n           including by issuing timely multiple-entry visas to all members of the Panel of\n           Experts for the duration of its mandate, and by waiving the requirement of Darfur\n           travel permits for said Panel members, and urges the Government of Sudan to\n           enhance its cooperation and information sharing with the Panel and allow the Panel\n           free and unfettered access to all of Darfur;\n                 17.

Stresses the importance of regular and timely consideration of violations\n           and abuses committed against children in armed conflict, including through\n           incorporating, where appropriate, a children and armed conflict dimension in the\n           terms of reference of Security Council field visits, and invites its Working Group on\n           Children and Armed Conflict to make full use of its toolkit (S/2006/724) in light of\n           ongoing discussions on enhancing compliance, and in this regard to continue\n           considering the issue of persistent perpetrators and action plan implementation;\n                5.    Recalls the fact that the conscription or enlistment of children under the\n           age of 15 or using them to participate actively in hostilities in both international and\n           non-international armed conflict constitutes a war crime under the Rome Statute of\n\n\n\n14-25631                                                                                                       3/6\n\nS/RES/2143 (2014)\n\n\n               the International Criminal Court, and notes that the Optional Protocol to the\n               Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed\n               conflict requires State parties to set a minimum age of 18 for compulsory\n               recruitment and participation in hostilities and to raise the minimum age for\n               voluntary recruitment from that set out in article 38, paragraph 3, of the Convention\n               on the Rights of the Child and to take all feasible measures to ensure that members\n               of their armed forces who have not attained the age of 18 years do not take a direct\n               part in hostilities;\n                    6.    Welcomes in this context the campaign “Children, Not Soldiers” initiated\n               by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed\n               Conflict and UNICEF, in collaboration with other United Nations partners, with a\n               view to end and prevent the recruitment and use of children by Government armed\n               forces in conflict by 2016;\n                     7.    Urges in this regard concerned Governments to undertake all efforts in\n               order to ensure that no children are in their ranks in conflict, in particular through\n               the development and implementation of time-bound action plans; calls on Member\n               States, all relevant United Nations entities, NGOs and the donor community to\n               support in their various capacities the campaign “Children, Not Soldiers”,\n               recognizing that its goal can only be attained through partnership and active\n               involvement of all;\n                    8.   Invites the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children\n               and Armed Conflict to inform the Security Council about the campaign “Children,\n               Not Soldiers”, including about process and progress in delisting concerned parties;\n                     9.   Further urges Member States, United Nations entities and other parties\n               concerned to ensure that child protection provisions, including those relating to the\n               release and reintegration of children formerly associated with armed forces or armed\n               groups, are integrated into all peace negotiations and peace agreements;\n                     10. Reiterates the Security Council’s readiness to adopt targeted and\n               graduated measures against persistent perpetrators of violations and abuses\n               committed against children, taking into account the relevant provisions of its\n               resolutions 1539 (2004), 1612 (2005), 1882 (2009), 1998 (2011) and 2068 (2012)\n               and to consider including provisions pertaining to parties to armed conflict that\n               engage in activities in violation of applicable international law relating to the rights\n               and protection of children in armed conflicts, when establishing, modifying or\n               renewing the mandate of relevant sanctions regimes;\n                     11. Stresses the need to exclude genocide, crimes against humanity, war\n               crimes and other egregious crimes perpetrated against children from amnesty laws\n               and other similar provisions and strongly encourages concerned States to establish a\n               vetting mechanism to ensure that those responsible for such crimes are not included\n               in the ranks of the army or other security forces;\n                     12. Emphasizes the responsibility of all States to put an end to impunity and\n               to investigate and prosecute those responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity,\n               war crimes and other egregious crimes perpetrated against children and highlights in\n               this regard the contribution of the International Criminal Court, in accordance with\n               the principle of complementarity to national criminal jurisdictions as set out in the\n               Rome Statute;\n\n\n\n4/6                                                                                                       14-25631\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2143 (2014)\n\n\n                13. Urges concerned Member States, when undertaking security sector\n           reforms, to mainstream child protection, such as the establishment of child\n           protection units in national security forces and of effective age assessment\n           mechanisms to prevent underage recruitment while stressing in this regard the\n           importance of ensuring universal birth registration, including late birth registration;\n                14. Urges further all parties concerned, including Member States, United\n           Nations entities, as well as financial institutions to support, as appropriate, bearing\n           in mind national ownership, the development and strengthening of the capacities of\n           national institutions and local civil society networks for advocacy, protection and\n           rehabilitation of children affected by armed conflict as well as national\n           accountability mechanisms, including building investigative and prosecutorial\n           capacities and the adoption of legislation criminalizing violations and abuses\n           committed against children affected by armed conflict;\n                15. Reiterates its request to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General to pursue efforts to coalesce the donor community in order to address\n           funding gaps, and encourages bilateral, regional and international partners to\n           provide financial and capacity-building support in this regard, including for\n           education during the conflict and post-conflict periods;\n                16. Recalls the importance of ensuring that children continue to have access\n           to basic services during the conflict and post-conflict periods, including, inter alia,\n           education and health care;\n                 17. Reiterates its deep concern about attacks as well as threats of attacks in\n           contravention of applicable international law against schools and/or hospitals, and\n           protected persons in relation to them as well as the closure of schools and hospitals\n           in situations of armed conflict as a result of attacks and threats of attacks and urges\n           all parties to armed conflict to refrain from actions that impede children’s access to\n           education and to health services;\n                 18. Expresses deep concern at the military use of schools in contravention of\n           applicable international law, recognizing that such use may render schools\n           legitimate targets of attack, thus endangering children’s and teachers’ safety as well\n           as children’s education and in this regard:\n                (a) Urges all parties to armed conflict to respect the civilian character of\n           schools in accordance with international humanitarian law;\n                (b) Encourages Member States to consider concrete measures to deter the\n           use of schools by armed forces and armed non-State groups in contravention of\n           applicable international law;\n                (c) Urges Member States to ensure that attacks on schools in contravention\n           of international humanitarian law are investigated and those responsible duly\n           prosecuted;\n                (d) Calls upon United Nations country-level task forces to enhance the\n           monitoring and reporting on the military use of schools;\n                 19. Recalls the obligations of all parties to an armed conflict, in accordance\n           with international humanitarian law, to ensure that the wounded and sick, including\n           children, receive, to the fullest extent practicable and with the least possible delay,\n           the medical care and attention required by their condition, and to respect and protect\n\n\n\n14-25631                                                                                                      5/6\n\nS/RES/2143 (2014)\n\n\n               medical and health personnel, facilities, transports and activities in accordance with\n               international humanitarian law;\n                     20. Recommends that Member States include child protection in military\n               training and standard operating procedures, as well as in military guidance as\n               appropriate; recommends further that United Nations entities and United Nations\n               peacekeeping troop and police-contributing countries undertake targeted and\n               operational trainings for the preparation of United Nations mission personnel\n               including troop and police contingents on their contribution in preventing violations\n               against children so as to give all mission personnel the ability to effectively\n               recognize, report and respond to violations and abuses committed against children\n               and to successfully support child protection activities for better implementation of\n               their respective mandates;\n                     21. Urges all United Nations entities, including peacekeeping missions,\n               political missions, peacebuilding offices, United Nations offices, agencies, funds\n               and programmes to give full attention to violations against children in the\n               application of the human rights due diligence policy on United Nations support to\n               non-United Nations security forces;\n                     22. Urges also Member States, United Nations entities, including the\n               Peacebuilding Commission and other parties concerned to ensure that post-conflict\n               recovery and reconstruction planning, programmes and strategies give due priority\n               to issues concerning children affected by armed conflict;\n                     23.

Decides to continue the inclusion of specific provisions for the protection\n               of children in the mandates of all relevant United Nations peacekeeping operations\n               and political missions, encourages deployment of child protection advisers to such\n               missions, and calls upon the Secretary-General to ensure that the need for and the\n               number and roles of such advisers are systematically assessed during the preparation\n               and renewal of each United Nations peacekeeping operation and political mission\n               and encourages DPKO and DPA to take into account child protection when briefing\n               the Council on country-specific situations;\n                     25.

region; in this regard, expressing particular concern at reports of an escalation of\n               violence in Darfur since February 2014, resulting in the displacement of a large\n               number of civilians, and at the denial of access for UNAMID and humanitarian\n               actors to the affected areas by the Sudanese authorities; and further expressing\n               concern

        accelerated implementation,\n                     Noting in this regard that UNAMID’s ability to facilitate progress in\n               implementation of the DDPD is hampered by delays by the signatory parties and the\n               absence of an inclusive political settlement between the government and\n               non-signatory movements, expressing concern that the humanitarian and security\n               situation, as well as lack of capacity of the Darfur Regional Authority, hinder the\n               transition from relief to stabilization and development activities, urging

that\n               development can support a lasting peace in Darfur,\n                     Commending the efforts of Joint Special Representative Mohamed ibn Chambas\n               to revitalize the peace process, including through renewed engagement of the\n               non-signatory movements, and urging all parties to the conflict to cease all acts of\n               violence immediately, and to engage in the peace process without preconditions on\n               the basis of the DDPD, in order to bring a durable and stable peace to the region,\n                     Encouraging the Joint Special Representative to continue his efforts to\n               increase the inclusiveness of the political process, guided by the Framework for AU\n               and United Nations Facilitation of the Darfur Peace Process, and to coordinate with\n               the African Union-High Level Implementation Panel (AU-HIP) and the United\n               Nations Special Envoy for Sudan and South Sudan to synchronize their mediation\n               efforts while taking into account ongoing transformation at the national level,\n               welcoming in this regard the announcement by President Bashir on 27 January of a\n               national dialogue, noting that the modalities of such a dialogue should provide an\n               opportunity to address the legitimate grievances of the people of Darfur, looking\n               forward to further developments towards the implementation of an inclusive\n               dialogue process, and stressing the importance of the effective participation of\n               women in this process, and in efforts towards peace in Darfur,\n                    Noting that local dispute resolution mechanisms play an important role in\n               preventing and resolving inter-communal conflict, including conflict over natural\n\n\n\n2/5

intensification of effective efforts to prevent local disputes\n           leading to violence, with its corresponding impact on the local civilian populations,\n           acknowledging the efforts of Sudanese authorities and local mediators to mediate in\n           inter-tribal fighting, with support from UNAMID and the United Nations Country\n           Team (UNCT), and urging their continued work,\n                 Welcoming that, over the last year, cooperation between UNAMID and the\n           Government of Sudan has resulted in improvements in mandate implementation ,\n           including through the more timely issuance of visas, but expressing deep concern\n           that continued access restrictions and delays in the issuance of customs clearances\n           for contingent-owned equipment significantly undermine UNAMID’s effectiveness,\n           and further expressing deep concern that the delivery of humanitarian assistance is\n           constrained and delayed by particular restrictions facing humanitarian actors, and\n           that insufficient cooperation by the Government, particularly in terms of access,\n           seriously constrains the Mission’s ability to operate,\n                 Expressing deep concern that shortfalls in the operational capabilities of some\n           military and police components seriously constrain the force’s mobility,\n           effectiveness and ability to deter and respond robustly to atta cks,\n                Noting the need for effective coordination and integration structures within\n           UNAMID, and between UNAMID and UNCT, and encouraging swift development\n           and implementation of a clearer strategic vision, priorities and a strategic and\n           operational planning system within UNAMID, as well as an improved early warning\n           and response mechanism and coordination of protection of civilians activities with\n           UNCT,\n                Recalling the AU Peace and Security Council Communiqué of 24 March 2014,\n                1.   Welcomes and endorses the Secretary-General’s Special Report of\n           25 February 2014 (S/2014/138) on the review of the African Union-United Nations\n           Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) and its recommendations, pursuant to\n           Security Council resolution 2113 (2013);\n                 2.   Takes note of the proposed adjustment of the benchmarks and indicators\n           for UNAMID outlined in the Secretary-General’s report S/2014/138, and requests\n           the Secretary-General to further refine these benchmarks and indicators to reflect\n           the revised strategic priorities of the Mission, and submit them in his next 90 -day\n           report;\n                 3.   Stresses the important role of the AU in supporting implementation of the\n           review of UNAMID; and welcomes the continued efforts of the Joint Support\n           Coordination Mechanism, including in performing important coordination, support\n           and liaison functions;\n                 4.    Endorses UNAMID’s revised strategic priorities of: the protection of\n           civilians, the facilitation of the delivery of humanitarian assistance and the safety\n           and security of humanitarian personnel; mediation between the Government of\n           Sudan and non-signatory armed movements on the basis of the DDPD, while taking\n           into account ongoing democratic transformation at the national level; and support to\n           the mediation of community conflict, including through measures to address its root\n           causes, in conjunction with UNCT;\n                 5.   Requests UNAMID to focus and streamline its activities, across its\n           military, police and civilian components in order to achieve progress on these three\n\n\n14-28954                                                                                                      3/5\n\nS/RES/2148 (2014)\n\n\n               strategic priorities, recognizes that their effective implementation will require\n               certain Mission tasks to be deprioritized and requests the Secretary-General to\n               include these tasks in his next regular report on UNAMID;\n                     6.   Takes note of the Secretary-General’s intention to reduce UNAMID’s\n               police component swiftly, in order to increase the effectiveness of that component,\n               requests the Secretary-General to provide detailed and updated information on the\n               implementation of this reduction in his next report, and stresses in this regard the\n               importance of effective deployment, training and operational capabili ty of\n               UNAMID’s police component;\n                     7.   Notes that UNAMID faces three major challenges in the effective\n               discharge of its mandate, in the light of the evolving political and security\n               environment, namely: the cooperation and partnership of the Government of Sudan\n               in mandate implementation; major shortfalls in severa l troop- and police-contingent\n               operational capabilities; and the need for improved coordination and integration\n               structures within UNAMID and between UNAMID and UNCT;\n                    8.    Requests that UNAMID identify, in the context of these challenges, steps\n               by which it will achieve its revised strategic priorities more effectively, and further\n               requests the Secretary-General to report on these steps in his regular reports to the\n               Council on UNAMID;\n                     9.    Welcomes the planned efforts on the part of the United Nations and the\n               relevant troop- and police-contributing countries to address shortfalls in the\n               operational capabilities of some contingents, including enhanced engagement by the\n               African Union and United Nations Secretariat with these countries, and encourages\n               UNAMID to move to a more preventive and pre-emptive posture in pursuit of its\n               priorities and in active defence of its mandate, building on positive steps taken so\n               far, without prejudice to the agreed basic principles of peacekeeping;\n                     10. Stresses the need to address gaps in the integrated strategic and\n               operational architecture of UNAMID, calls on UNAMID and UNCT to put in place\n               the full requirements of the United Nations Policy on Integrated Assessment and\n               Planning, including the establishment of integrated mechanis ms for joint analysis,\n               planning, coordination, monitoring, and decision-making, especially for joint\n               operational planning for the military and police on protection of civilians; further\n               calls on the Secretariat to assist the Mission in these tasks, and requests that the\n               Secretary-General include steps taken in this regard in his next regular report to the\n               Council on UNAMID;\n                     11. Notes with concern the strategic gap in mobility for the mission, and the\n               continuing critical need for aviation capacity and othe r mobility assets, including\n               military utility helicopters for UNAMID, calls on Member States to redouble their\n               efforts to provide aviation units to the mission, and on the Government of Sudan to\n               facilitate the deployment of those assets already pledged, and requests the\n               Secretary-General to include information on related force generation efforts in his\n               regular reports, and on what other strategies can offset this critical military gap;\n                     12. Urges all relevant actors to implement the review of UNAMID swiftly\n               and fully, requests the Secretary-General to include in his next regular report to the\n               Council on UNAMID specific information and operational recommendations as\n               required on the cost efficiency and reduction of the Mission’s military, police and\n               civilian components to maximize Mission effectiveness in the implementation of its\n\n\n4/5                                                                                                      14-28954\n\n                                                                                              S/RES/2148 (2014)\n\n\n           revised strategic priorities, and expresses its intention to make necessary\n           adjustments accordingly;\n                 13. Calls on all parties in Darfur to remove all obstacles to UNAMID’s full\n           and proper discharge of its mandate, and calls on the Government of Sudan to\n           comply with the Status of Forces Agreement fully and without delay, and to enhance\n           its cooperation with UNAMID on the implementation of UNAMID’s mandate;\n                14. Stresses the importance of effective monitoring and evaluation of\n           UNAMID’s impact in order to improve its effectiveness and looks forward to\n           considering progress in implementation of the review on the basis of the Secretary -\n           General’s regular reports to the Council;\n                 15. Looks forward to assessing the initial impact of implementation of the\n           review before renewing UNAMID’s mandate in August 2014, and expresses its\n           intention to ensure that UNAMID’s mandate reflects the revised strategic priorities\n           set out in the Secretary-General’s Special Report;\n                16.   Decides to remain seized of the matter.\n\n\n\n\n14-28954                                                                                                   5/5\n", "text_length": 17445, "title": "Security Council resolution 2148 (2014) [on endorsing Secretary-General's revised strategies for the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID)]", "agenda_information": "S/69 [204] AU/UN HYBRID OPERATION IN DARFUR\nS/69 [160] SUDAN--POLITICAL CONDITIONS", "subjects": "AU/UN Hybrid Operation in Darfur|PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS|POLITICAL CONDITIONS|DARFUR (SUDAN)|PROGRAMME EVALUATION|INTERNAL SECURITY|COORDINATION WITHIN UN SYSTEM|HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE", "vote_yes": 15, "vote_no": 0, "vote_abstention": 0, "vote_total": 15, "is_unanimous": true, "voting_countries": [{"country": "ARGENTINA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "AUSTRALIA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "CHAD", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "CHILE", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "CHINA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "FRANCE", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "JORDAN", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "LITHUANIA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "LUXEMBOURG", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "NIGERIA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "REPUBLIC OF KOREA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "RUSSIAN FEDERATION", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "RWANDA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "UNITED KINGDOM", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "UNITED STATES", "vote": "yes"}], "has_veto": false, "vetoed_by": [], "p5_abstentions": 0, "chapter6": false, "chapter7": false, "chapter8": false, "peace_threat": false, "peace_breach": false, "aggression": false, "self_defence": true, "human_rights": false, "enforcement_level": "none", "m49_region": "Africa", "m49_region_sub": "Northern Africa|Sub-Saharan Africa", "iso_alpha3": "SDN|SSD", "iso_name": "Sudan|South Sudan", "cited_resolutions": ["2113", "2148", "2086"], "pdf_url_en": null, "meeting_record_url": null, "unified_id": 2351}

 reform, and recalling its resolution 2127 (2013) and expressing grave concern at the\n               threat to peace and security in the CAR arising from the illicit transfer, destabilizing\n

Human Rights, and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime\n               of Genocide,\n                     Further reaffirming the significance of the Convention on the Prevention and\n               Punishment of the Crime of Genocide as an effective international instrument for\n               the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide, emphasizing that the crime\n               of genocide as recognized in this Convention, is an odious scourge that has inflicted\n               great losses on humanity, and that further international cooperation is required to\n               facilitate the timely prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide,\n                     Recognizing that States bear the primary responsibility to respect and

evidence to prove that acts of\n               genocide against the Tutsi group were perpetrated,” and noting that during the\n               genocide, Hutu and others who opposed it were also killed,\n                     Recalling that the Appeals Chamber of the ICTR issued, on 16 June 2006, a\n               judicial notice (ICTR-98-44-AR73(C)) concluding that it was a “fact of common\n               knowledge” that “between 6 April and 17 July 1994, there was a genocide in\n               Rwanda against the Tutsi ethnic group”, further recalling that more than a million\n

levant obligations to end\n               impunity and, to that end, to thoroughly investigate and prosecute persons\n               responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, or other serious\n               violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, in\n               order to avoid their recurrence and to seek sustainable peace, justice, truth and\n               reconciliation,\n                     Stressing that the fight against impunity and to ensure accountability for\n               genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and other egregious crimes has been\n               strengthened through the work on and prosecution of these crimes in the\n               international criminal justice system, ad hoc and mixed tribunals as well as\n               specialized chambers in national tribunals; and recognizing in this regard the\n               contribution of the International Criminal Court, in

                Recognizing the contribution made by the ICTR to the fight against impunity\n               and the development of international criminal justice, especially in re lation to the\n               crime of genocide,\n                     Noting that the prosecution of persons responsible for genocide and other\n               serious international crimes, through the national justice system, including the\n               Gacaca Courts of Rwanda, and the ICTR, contributed to the process o f national\n               reconciliation and to the restoration and maintenance of peace in Rwanda,\n                     Recalling that leaders and members of the Democratic Forces for the\n               Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), were among the perpetrators of the 1994 genocide\n               against the Tutsi in Rwanda, during which Hutu and others who opposed the\n               genocide were also killed, further recalling that the FDLR is a group under United\n               Nations sanctions, operating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and\n               which has continued to promote and commit ethnically based and other killings in\n               Rwanda and in the DRC, and stressing the importance of neutralizing this group, in\n               line with the Security Council resolution 2098 (2013),\n\n\n\n2/3

   Recalling that the General Assembly has, on 23 December 2003, designated\n           the date of 7th April as “the International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide\n           in Rwanda”,\n                Emphasizing the particular importance of all forms of education in order to\n           prevent the commission of future genocides,\n                1.    Calls upon States to recommit to prevent and fight against genocide, and\n           other serious crimes under international law, reaffirms paragraphs 138 and 139 of\n           the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document ( A/60/L.1) on the responsibility to\n           protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against\n           humanity, and underscores the importance of taking into account lessons learned\n           from the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, during which Hutu and others\n           who opposed the genocide were also killed;\n                2.    Condemns without reservation any denial of this Genocide, and urges\n           Member States to develop educational programmes that will inculcate future\n           generations with the lessons of the Genocide in order to help prevent future\n           genocides;\n                 3.

pose, including impairing the ability of the State to extend\n               public security and rule of law within its boundaries, and noting that good\n               governance and oversight of the security sector is important in ensuring that security\n               institutions are capable of protecting the population, and further noting that failure\n               to address operational and accountability deficits can undermine the positive gains\n               of peacekeeping and necessitates the return of peacekeeping and special political\n               missions in previous areas of operation and recognizing that effective security sector\n               reform processes have been an important element of the stabilization and\n               reconstruction of some post-conflict

Council-mandated United Nations\n               assistance in the area of security sector reform takes place in, and is directed to,\n               countries in Africa and that a number of African countries are becoming important\n               providers of such assistance,\n                     Noting the support provided by bilateral actors, as well as regional actors,\n               including the European Union, to security sector reform efforts and other initiatives\n               in the area of security sector reform, in particular in Afric a, and stressing the\n               importance of coordination as appropriate between the different actors involved in\n               supporting security sector reforms through bilateral contributions and emphasizing\n               the role United Nations peacekeeping operations or special political missions can\n               play in enhancing this coordination,\n                    Recognizing the centrality of security sector reform as a key element of\n               peacekeeping and special political mission mandates, noting the increasing number\n               and complexity of mission mandates on security sector reform, and emphasizing the\n               importance of the United Nations, including through its peacekeeping operations\n               and special political missions, supporting national Governments, upon their request\n               where appropriate, to develop security institutions that are accessible and responsive\n               to the needs of their population, and the important role of the Peacebuilding\n               Commission and the Peacebuilding Fund in supporting security sector reform,\n                     Recalling the important role that the United Nations has played in support ing\n               national efforts to build sustainable security institutions, and commending the\n               efforts of the United Nations, in particular the Department of Peacekeeping\n               Operations, including the Security Sector Reform Unit and the United Nations\n               Inter-Agency Security Sector Reform Task Force, in further strengthening a\n               comprehensive United Nations approach to security sector reform, through the\n               development of guidance and civilian capacities, coordination mechanisms, and\n               collaboration with regional and subregional organizations, in particular the African\n               Union,\n                     Underlining the importance of the close coordination of the range of United\n               Nations Security Sector Reform activities, both at headquarters and in the field, in\n               particular between Security Council-mandated

security sector reform activities to work through the existing\n           coordination mechanisms, as appropriate,\n                 Acknowledging the necessity for the United Nations to balance its support for\n           the reform of individual components of the security sector, which in some contexts\n           include defence, police, corrections, and border and immigration services, with\n           sector-wide initiatives that address strategic governance, management and oversight\n           aspects in order to ensure their long-term sustainability based on the particular\n           needs and conditions of the country in question,\n                 Reiterating the importance of the rule of law as one of the key elements of\n           conflict prevention, peacekeeping, conflict resolution and peacebuilding and\n           reiterating the statement by its President of 21 February 2014 ( S/PRST/2014/5), and\n           recalling that security sector reform must take place

Encourages Member States undertaking reform to take the lead in\n               defining an inclusive national vision on security sector reform, informed by the\n               needs and aspirations of the population, and acknowledges the important role of the\n               United Nations, including its Peacebuilding Commission, and Member States,\n               regional and subregional organizations in assisting States in this regard;\n                     4.    Recognizes that security sector reform needs to be in support of, and\n               informed by, broader national political processes, inclusive of all segments of the\n               society, including the participation of civil society, that lay the foundations for\n               stability and peace through national dialogue and reconciliation efforts, and resolves\n               to link security sector reform to such efforts;\n                     5.   Stresses that security sector reform is critical to addressing imp unity for\n               violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian\n               law, where applicable, and contributes to the rule of law;\n                     6.   Encourages Member States, when undertaking security sector reforms, to\n               mainstream child protection, such as the inclusion of child protection in military\n               training and standard operating procedures, as well as in military guidance as\n               appropriate, the establishment of child protection units in national security forces, of\n               effective age assessment mechanisms to prevent underage recruitment, of vetting\n               mechanisms to ensure that those responsible for violations and abuses against\n               children are not included in the ranks of national security forces and of measures to\n               protect schools and hospitals from attack and to prevent the military use of schools\n               in contravention of applicable international law;\n                     7.   Stresses the importance of security sector reform, which better integrates\n               policing, defence, border management and security, maritime security, civil\n               protection, and other relevant functions, including through the development of\n               professional, accessible, and accountable policing capabilities that strengthen\n               community resilience, as well as the institutions responsible for their oversight and\n               management, and urges the effective integration as regards sector-wide and\n               component levels of United Nations support both at headquarters and in the field, as\n               appropriate;\n                     8.    Stresses the importance of the relevant bodies of the United Nations\n               undertaking mission planning processes for security sector reform, where mandated,\n               that gives full consideration to supporting national security sector reform efforts,\n               taking into account the specific needs of the host country, and collaborating with\n               other relevant international and regional actors providing security sector reform\n               assistance to the national government;\n                      9.   Underlines the importance of strengthening support for sector-wide\n               initiatives that aim to enhance the governance and overall performance of the\n               security sector and address the foundations upon which security institutions in each\n               component area are built, such as through support to national security dialogues;\n               national security sector reviews and mappings; national security policy and strategy;\n               national security legislation; national security sector plans; security sector public\n               expenditure reviews; and national security oversight, management and coordination;\n                     10. Underlines that the management of a transition from a peacekeeping\n               operation or special political mission in relation to its security sector reform\n               activities should be based upon a timely analysis, in consultation with the host\n               country, of any assistance beyond the duration of the mandate to enable\n\n\n4/6                                                                                                       14-31391\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2151 (2014)\n\n\n           peacebuilding and development actors to undertake the necessary strategic planning\n           and fundraising, working in close partnership with the national authorities, and to\n           transfer skills and expertise to host country officials and experts as quickly as\n           possible in order to ensure a successful and durable transition;\n                 11. Notes that the United Nations is particularly well positioned to support\n           and coordinate sector-wide reforms as necessary in specific situations and has broad\n           experience as well as comparative advantages in this area working in close\n           collaboration with relevant international and regional actors, and encourages\n           Member States to continue to be engaged and to facilitate strategic discussions on\n           strengthening the United Nations approach in this critical area, including through\n           the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations of the General Assembly and\n           the Peacebuilding Commission;\n                 12. Notes the important role that United Nations police can play in\n           supporting, and coordinating international support for, reform of national police\n           institutions and building police capacity in a comprehensive way that emphasizes a\n           community-oriented approach and inter alia builds strong governance, oversight and\n           accountability mechanisms within the framework of a functional judicial and\n           corrections system;\n                 13.

concerned by the public administration and rule of law vacuum in the\n           Abyei Area, due to continued delays in the establishment of the Abyei Area\n           Administration, Council and Police, including a special unit to deal with p articular\n           issues related to nomadic migration, which are essential to maintain law and order\n           and prevent intercommunal conflict in Abyei,\n                Noting with concern the continued threat of intercommunal violence in the\n           Abyei Area, including the ongoing tensions that prevent UNISFA’s and other\n           agencies’ Sudanese staff from returning to Abyei,\n                 Noting that the continued delay in establishing the temporary institutions and\n           resolving the final status of Abyei contributes to tension in the region, emphasizing\n           the importance of all parties refraining from any unilateral action to aggravate\n           intercommunal relations within Abyei Area, and expressing concern over the\n           continued implications of what the AUPSC described in their 6 November 2013\n           press statement as “the decision by the Ngok Dinka to conduct a unilateral\n           referendum”,\n                 Bearing in mind the importance of coherence of United Nations assistance in\n           the region,\n                Welcoming and encouraging

operations,\n                 Stressing the need for effective human rights monitoring, including of any\n           sexual and gender-based violence and violations and abuses committed against\n           children, taking note that there have been no developments with regard to the\n           operationalization of human rights monitoring in the Abyei Area, and reiterating its\n           concern at the lack of cooperation by the parties with the Secretary-General to this\n           end,\n                 Further stressing the urgency of facilitating the delivery of humanitarian\n           assistance to all affected communities in the Abyei Area,\n                 Affirming the importance of voluntary, safe, orderly return and sustainable\n           reintegration of displaced persons, and of peaceful and orderly migration cycles\n           respecting the traditional migratory routes from Sudan to South Sudan through\n           Abyei, and urging UNISFA to take measures as necessary to ensure security in the\n           Abyei Area in accordance with its mandate,\n\n\n\n\n14-54244                                                                                                    3/7\n\nS/RES/2156 (2014)\n\n\n                     Recalling its resolution 2117 (2013), and expressing grave concern at the\n               threat to peace and security in Abyei arising from the illicit transfer, destabilizing\n               accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons,\n                    Expressing concern with the residual threat of landmines and explosive\n               remnants of war in the Abyei Area, which hinders the safe return of displaced\n               persons to their homes and safe migration,\n                     Welcoming the steps taken by UNISFA towards the effective implementati on of\n               its mandate, including, inter alia, through conflict prevention, mediation and\n               deterrence,\n                     Taking note of the 13 May 2014 Secretary-General’s report (S/2014/336),\n               including its assessment that the political and security situation on the ground has\n               seriously deteriorated and could become untenable during the next dry season and\n               2014-2015 migration cycle, and the recommendations contained therein,\n                    Recognizing that the current situation in Abyei and along the border between\n               the Sudan and South Sudan continues to constitute a serious threat to international\n               peace and security,\n                     1.   Decides to extend until 15 October 2014 the mandate of the United\n               Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) as set out in paragraph 2 of\n               resolution 1990 (2011) and modified by resolution 2024 (2011) and paragraph 1 of\n               resolution 2075 (2012), and acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United\n               Nations, further decides to extend until 15 October 2014 the mandate of UNISFA as\n               set out in paragraph 3 of resolution 1990, and determines that for the purposes of\n               paragraph 1 of resolution 2024 (2011), support to the operational activities of the\n               JBVMM shall include support to the Ad Hoc Committees, as appropriate when so\n               requested by consensual decisions of these mechanisms, within UNISFA’s\n               operational area and existing capabilities;\n                    2.   Welcomes the UN’s strategic review of UNISFA, and the\n               recommendations in the 13 May Secretary-General’s report of support to the\n               resumption of community dialogue and administration by the comm unities under\n               AJOC supervision; in this regard, calls upon the communities and the Governments\n               of Sudan and South Sudan to work with the UN towards that goal; and stresses the\n               importance of support in these efforts from the African Union;\n                    3.   Reiterates its demand that Sudan and South Sudan immediately resume\n               the work of the Abyei Joint Oversight Committee (AJOC) to ensure steady progress\n               on the implementation of the 20 June 2011 Agreement, including the\n               implementation of the AJOC decisions;\n                    4.    Further reiterates its demand that Sudan and South Sudan urgently\n               commence the establishment of the Abyei Area Administration and Council,\n               including by resolving the deadlock over the composition of the Council, and\n               constitute the Abyei Police Service, to enable it to take over policing functions\n               throughout the Abyei Area, including the protection of oil infrastructure, in\n               accordance with their commitments in the 20 June 2011 Agreement;\n                     5.   Decides to maintain the troops authorized by resolution 2104 (2013)\n               already deployed, and that the remaining authorized forces will only be deployed in\n               case of reactivation of the JBVMM, and at the appropriate time as deemed by the\n               Secretary-General, to enable UNISFA to provide required force protection to the\n\n\n4/7                                                                                                     14-54244\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2156 (2014)\n\n\n           JBVMM and to enable UNISFA to fully support the JBVMM to conduct extended\n           operations into the SDBZ as soon as possible, and requests the Secretary-General to\n           keep the Council fully updated on the status of deployment as part of his regular\n           reporting cycle;\n                 6.    Expresses concern regarding the stalled efforts to fully operationalize the\n           JBVMM, as a result of South Sudan’s continued disagreement with the location of\n           the SDBZ centreline and its decision of 22 November 2013 to temp orarily suspend\n           its participation in the JBVMM, and calls upon the Government of Sudan and the\n           Government of South Sudan to make timely and effective use of the JBVMM,\n           JPSM, and other agreed joint mechanisms to ensure the security and transparency of\n           the SDBZ, including the “14 Mile Area”;\n                 7.    Urges renewed efforts to determine conclusively the SDBZ centreline on\n           the ground, and reiterates that the centreline of the SDBZ in no way prejudices the\n           current or future legal status of the border, ongoing negotiations on the disputed and\n           claimed areas, and demarcation of the borders;\n                8.    Underscores that UNISFA’s protection of civilians mandate as set out in\n           paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011) includes taking the necessary actions to\n           protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence, irrespective of the\n           source of such violence;\n                 9.    Condemns the presence of SPLA/SSNPS armed personnel and Diffra oil\n           police units deployed in the Abyei Area, as well as the repeated entry of Misseriya\n           militias into the territory, and reiterates its demands that immediately and without\n           preconditions the Government of the Republic of South Sudan fully redeploy its\n           security service personnel from the Abyei Area and that the Gov ernment of Sudan\n           also redeploy the Oil Police in Diffra from the Abyei Area, and further reiterates, in\n           accordance with relevant resolutions, in particular resolution 1990 and resolution\n           2046, that the Abyei Area shall be demilitarized from any forces, as well as armed\n           elements of the local communities, other than UNISFA and the Abyei Police\n           Service;\n                 10. Supports the AJOC’s 3 May 2013 decision on Abyei’s status as a\n           weapons-free area, underscores the AUPSC’s concern in its 7 May 2013\n           Communiqué over reports that various communities living in Abyei are heavily\n           armed, recalls that the 20 June 2011 Agreement on Temporary Arrangements for the\n           Administration and Security of the Abyei Area stipulates that Abyei should be a\n           weapons-free area and that only UNISFA is authorized to carry weapons inside the\n           area, and in this regard, urges the two Governments to take all necessary steps to\n           ensure that Abyei is effectively demilitarized, including through disarmament\n           programs as necessary;\n                 11. Requests that UNISFA, consistent with its mandate and within its\n           existing capabilities, observe, document and report on the movement of weapons\n           into Abyei and the presence of weapons within Abyei as part of the Secretary -\n           Generals’ regular reporting cycle;\n                 12. Urges the two Governments immediately to take steps to implement\n           confidence-building measures among the respective communities in Abyei Area,\n           including through reconciliation processes at the grass-roots level and supporting\n           UNISFA in convening a peace conference between the Ngok Dinka and Misseriya\n           traditional chiefs, and strongly urges all Abyei communities to exercise maximum\n\n\n14-54244                                                                                                      5/7\n\nS/RES/2156 (2014)\n\n\n               restraint in all their engagements and to desist from inflammatory acts or statements\n               that may lead to violent clashes, or any further unilateral acti vities;\n                     13. Requests UNISFA to continue its dialogue with the AJOC and with the\n               Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities on effective strategies and oversight\n               mechanisms for ensuring full compliance by all relevant parties with Abyei ’s status\n               as a weapons-free area, with a particular priority placed on the urgent elimination of\n               heavy or crew-served weapons, as well as rocket-propelled grenades, and calls upon\n               the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan, the AJOC, and the Misseriya and Ngok\n               Dinka communities to extend full cooperation to UNISFA in this regard;\n                    14. Calls upon all parties to cooperate fully with the findings and\n               recommendations following the Abyei Area Joint Investigation and Inquiry\n               Committee’s (AAJIIC’s) investigation into the killing of a UNISFA peacekeeper and\n               the Ngok Dinka paramount chief;\n                     15. Expresses its intention to review as appropriate the mandate of UNISFA\n               for possible reconfiguration of the mission in light of the compliance by Sudan and\n               South Sudan with the decisions set forth in resolution 2046 and their commitments\n               as set forth in the Agreements of 20 June, 29 June, 30 July 2011 and 27 September\n               2012, including the redeployment of all forces from the SDBZ, achieving full\n               operational capability for the JVBMM, and the Ad Hoc Committees, as well as\n               completing the full demilitarization of the Abyei Area;\n                    16. Calls upon all Member States, in particular Sudan and South Sudan, to\n               ensure the free, unhindered and expeditious movement to and from Abyei and\n               throughout the SDBZ of all personnel, as well as equipment, provisions, supplies\n               and other goods, including vehicles, aircraft, and spare parts, which are for the\n               exclusive and official use of UNISFA;\n                     17. Renews its call upon Sudan and South Sudan to provide full support to\n               the United Nations, including by promptly issuing visas to military, police and\n               civilian United Nations personnel, including humanitarian personnel, without\n               prejudice to their nationality, facilitating basing arrangements and flight clearances,\n               and providing logistical support, and calls upon all parties to fully adhere to their\n               obligations under the Status of Forces Agreements;\n                     18. Recognizes the absence of critical infrastructure projects affecting\n               UNISFA peacekeeping personnel, notes the action being taken to address this\n               situation, and urges the Secretary-General to continue to take the measures available\n               to him to remediate this situation and better enable UNISFA to implement its\n               mandate;\n                     19. Demands that the Government of Sudan and the Government of South\n               Sudan continue to facilitate the deployment of the United Nations Mine Action\n               Service to ensure JBVMM freedom of movement as well as the identification and\n               clearance of mines in the Abyei Area and SDBZ;\n                     20. Further demands that all parties involved provide humanitarian\n               personnel with full, safe and unhindered access to civilians in need of assistance and\n               all necessary facilities for their operations, in accordance with international law,\n               including applicable international humanitarian law, and United Nations guiding\n               principles of humanitarian assistance;\n\n\n\n\n6/7                                                                                                      14-54244\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/2156 (2014)\n\n\n                 21. Requests the Secretary-General to ensure that effective human rights\n           monitoring is carried out, and the results included in his reports to the Council, and\n           reiterates its call upon the Government of Sudan and the Government of South\n           Sudan to extend their full cooperation to the Secretary-General to this end, including\n           by issuing visas to the concerned United Nations personnel;\n                 22. Requests the Secretary-General to take the necessary measures to ensure\n           full compliance of UNISFA with the United Nations zero tolerance policy on sexual\n           exploitation and abuses and to keep the Council informed if cases of such conduct\n           occur;\n                 23. Stresses that continued cooperation between the Government of Sudan\n           and Government of South Sudan is also critical for peace, security and stability and\n           the future relations between them;\n                24. Requests the Secretary-General to continue to inform the Council of\n           progress in implementing UNISFA’s mandate in two written reports, no later than\n           July 30 and September 30 respectively, and continue to bring to the Council ’s\n           immediate attention any serious violations of the above referenced agreements;\n                25.

Requests the Secretary-General to continue to strengthen the capacity of\n               the Office of the Ombudsperson by providing necessary resources, including for\n               translation services, as appropriate, to ensure its continued ability to carry out its\n               mandate in an independent, effective and timely manner;\n                    47. Strongly urges Member States to provide all relevant information to the\n               Ombudsperson, including any relevant confidential information, where appropriate,\n               encourages Member States to provide relevant information in a timely manner,\n               welcomes those national arrangements entered into by Member States with the\n               Office of the Ombudsperson to facilitate the sharing of confidential information,\n               encourages Member States’ further cooperation in this regard, including by\n               concluding arrangements with the Office of the Ombudsperson for the sharing of\n               such information, and confirms that the Ombudsperson must comply with any\n\n\n\n\n10/23                                                                                                     14-55595\n\n                                                                                                    S/RES/2161 (2014)\n\n\n           confidentiality restrictions that are placed on such information by Member States\n           providing it;\n                 48.

Recalls its decision that when the designating State submits a delisting\n           request, the requirement for States to take the measures described in paragraph 1 of\n           this resolution shall terminate with respect to that individual, group, undertaking or\n           entity after 60 days unless the Committee decides by consensus before the end of\n           that 60-day period that the measures shall remain in place with respect to that\n           individual, group, undertaking or entity; provided that, in cases where consensus\n           does not exist, the Chair shall, on the request of a Committee Member, submit the\n           question of whether to delist that individual, group, undertaking or entity to the\n           Security Council for a decision within a period of 60 days; and provided further\n           that, in the event of such a request, the requirement for States to take the measures\n           described in paragraph 1 of this resolution shall remain in force for that period with\n           respect to that individual, group, undertaking or entity until the question is decided\n           by the Security Council;\n                51.

Recalls its decision that, for purposes of submitting a delisting request in\n           paragraph 50, consensus must exist between or among all designating States in cases\n           where there are multiple designating States; and further recalls its decision that\n           co-sponsors of listing requests shall not be considered designating States for\n           purposes of paragraph 50;\n                 53. Strongly urges designating States to allow the Ombudsperson to reveal\n           their identities as designating States to those listed individuals and entities that have\n           submitted delisting petitions to the Ombudsperson;\n                 54. Directs the Committee to continue to work, in accordance with its\n           guidelines, to consider delisting requests of Member States for the removal from the\n           Al-Qaida Sanctions List of individuals, groups, undertakings and entities that are\n           alleged to no longer meet the criteria established in the relevant resolutions, and set\n           out in paragraph 2 of the present resolution, and strongly urges Member States to\n           provide reasons for submitting their delisting requests;\n                 55. Encourages States to submit delisting requests for individuals that are\n           officially confirmed to be dead, particularly where no assets are identified, and for\n           entities reported or confirmed to have ceased to exist, while at the same time taking\n           all reasonable measures to ensure that the assets that had belonged to these\n           individuals or entities have not been or will not be transferred or distributed to other\n           individuals, groups, undertakings and entities on the Al-Qaida Sanctions List or any\n           other Security Council sanctions list;\n\n\n\n14-55595                                                                                                       11/23\n\nS/RES/2161 (2014)\n\n\n                     56. Encourages Member States, when unfreezing the assets of a deceased\n               individual or an entity that is reported or confirmed to have ceased to e xist as a\n               result of a delisting, to recall the obligations set forth in resolution 1373 (2001) and,\n               particularly, to prevent unfrozen assets from being used for terrorist purposes;\n                     57. Reaffirms that, prior to the unfreezing of any assets that have been frozen\n               as a result of the listing of Usama bin Laden, Member States shall submit to the\n               Committee a request to unfreeze such assets and shall provide assurances to the\n               Committee that the assets will not be transferred, directly or indirectly, to a listed\n               individual, group, undertaking or entity, or otherwise used for terrorist purposes in\n               line with Security Council resolution 1373 (2001), and decides further that such\n               assets may only be unfrozen in the absence of an objection by a Committee member\n               within thirty days of receiving the request, and stresses the exceptional nature of this\n               provision, which shall not be considered as establishing a precedent;\n                     58. Calls upon the Committee when considering delisting requests to give\n               due consideration to the opinions of designating State(s), State(s) of residence,\n               nationality, location or incorporation, and other relevant States as determined by the\n               Committee, directs Committee members to provide their reasons for objecting to\n               delisting requests at the time the request is objected to, and calls upon the\n               Committee to provide reasons to relevant Member States and national and regional\n               courts and bodies, upon request and where appropriate;\n                     59. Encourages all Member States, including designating States and States of\n               residence, nationality, location or incorporation to provide all information to the\n               Committee relevant to the Committee’s review of delisting petitions, a nd to meet\n               with the Committee, if requested, to convey their views on delisting requests, and\n               further encourages the Committee, where appropriate, to meet with representatives\n               of national or regional organizations and bodies that have relevant information on\n               delisting petitions;\n                     60. Confirms that the Secretariat shall, within three days after a name is\n               removed from the Al-Qaida Sanctions List, notify the Permanent Mission of the\n               State(s) of residence, nationality, location or incorporation (to the extent this\n               information is known), and decides that States receiving such notification shall take\n               measures, in accordance with their domestic laws and practices, to notify or inform\n               the concerned individual, group, undertaking or entity of the delisting in a time ly\n               manner;\n                     61. Reaffirms that, in cases in which the Ombudsperson is unable to\n               interview a petitioner in his or her state of residence, the Ombudsperson may\n               request, with the agreement of the petitioner, that the Committee consider granting\n               exemptions to the restrictions on assets and travel in paragraphs 1 (a) and (b) of this\n               resolution for the sole purpose of allowing the petitioner to meet travel expenses and\n               travel to another State to be interviewed by the Ombudsperson for a period no\n               longer than necessary to participate in this interview, provided that all States of\n               transit and destination do not object to such travel, and further directs the\n               Committee to notify the Ombudsperson of the Committee’s decision;\n\n               Exemptions/Focal Point\n                    62.

the unacceptable and escalating level of violence and the\n               death of more than 150,000 people, including well over 10,000 children, as a result\n               of the Syrian conflict as

       humanitarian situation in Syria, at the fact that the number of people in need of\n               assistance has grown to over 10 million, including 6.4 million internally displaced\n               persons and over 4.5 million living in hard-to-reach areas, and that over 240,000 are\n               trapped in besieged areas, as reported by the United Nations Secretary-General,\n

countries to enable them to respond to the growing humanitarian needs, including by\n               providing direct support,\n                     Strongly condemning the continuing widespread violations of human rights and\n               international humanitarian law by the Syrian authorities, as well as the human rights\n               abuses and violations of international humanitarian law by armed groups,\n                    Stressing the need to end impunity for violations of international humanitarian\n               law and violations and abuses of human rights, and reaffirming that those who have\n               committed or are otherwise responsible for such violations and abuses in Syria must\n               be brought to justice,\n                     Expressing grave alarm in particular at the continuing indiscriminate attacks\n               in populated areas, including an intensified campaign of aerial bombings and the use\n               of barrel bombs in Aleppo and other areas, artillery, shelling and air strikes, and the\n               widespread use of torture, ill-treatment, sexual and gender-based violence as well as\n               all grave violations and abuses committed against children, and reiterating that\n               some of these violations may amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity,\n                     Reiterating its demand that all parties demilitarize medical facilities, schools\n               and other civilian facilities and avoid establishing military positions in populated\n               areas and desist from attacks directed against civilian objects,\n                     Reaffirming the primary responsibility of the Syrian authorities to protect the\n               population in Syria and

taking, kidnappings, and attacks\n               against civilian infrastructure including deliberate interruptions of water supply,\n               condemning terrorism in all its forms and

and unjustified withholding of\n               consent to relief operations and the persistence of conditions that impede the\n               delivery of humanitarian supplies to destinations within Syria, in particular to\n               besieged and hard-to-reach areas, and noting the United Nations Secretary-General’s\n               view that arbitrarily withholding consent for the opening of all relevant border\n               crossings is a violation of international humanitarian law and an act of\n               non-compliance with resolution 2139 (2014),\n\n\n\n\n2/4

its endorsement of the\n           Geneva Communiqué of 30 June 2012 (Annex II of resolution 2118 (2013)) and\n           demanding that all parties work towards the immediate and comprehensive\n           implementation of the Geneva Communiqué aimed at bringing an immediate end to\n           all violence, violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international\n           law, and facilitating the Syrian-led process launched in Montreux on 22 January\n           2014, leading to a transition that meets the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian\n           people and enables them independently and democratically to determine their own\n           future,\n                 Recalling its intent, expressed in its resolution 2139 (2014), to take further\n           steps in the

Reiterates that all parties to the conflict, in particular the Syrian\n           authorities, must comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law\n           and international human rights law and must fully and immediately implement the\n           provisions of its resolution 2139 (2014) and its Presidential Statement of 2 October\n           2013 (S/PRST/2013/15);\n                 2.   Decides that the United Nations humanitarian agencies and their\n           implementing partners are authorized to use routes across conflict lines and the\n           border crossings of Bab al-Salam, Bab al-Hawa, Al Yarubiyah and Al-Ramtha, in\n           addition to those already in use, in order to ensure that humanitarian assistance,\n           including medical and surgical supplies, reaches people in need throughout Syria\n           through the most direct routes, with notification to the Syrian authorities, and to this\n           end stresses the need for all border crossings to be used efficiently for United\n           Nations humanitarian operations;\n                 3.   Decides to establish a monitoring mechanism, under the authority of the\n           United Nations Secretary-General, to monitor, with the consent of the relevant\n           neighbouring countries of Syria, the loading of all humanitarian relief consignments\n           of the United Nations humanitarian agencies and their implementing partners at the\n           relevant United Nations facilities, and any subsequent opening of the consignments\n           by the customs authorities of the relevant neighbouring countries, for passage into\n           Syria across the border crossings of Bab al-Salam, Bab al-Hawa, Al Yarubiyah and\n           Al-Ramtha, and with notification by the United Nations to the Syrian authorities, in\n           order to confirm the humanitarian nature of these relief consignments;\n                4.   Decides that the United Nations monitoring mechanism shall be deployed\n           expeditiously;\n                 5.    Further decides that the decisions contained in operative paragraphs two\n           and three of this resolution shall expire 180 days from the adoption of this\n           resolution, and shall be subject to review by the Security Council;\n                6.   Also decides that all Syrian parties to the conflict shall enable the\n           immediate and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance directly to people\n           throughout Syria, by the United Nations humanitarian agencies and their\n\n\n14-57459                                                                                                       3/4\n\nS/RES/2165 (2014)\n\n\n               implementing partners, on the basis of United Nations assessments of need and\n               devoid of any political prejudices and aims, including by immediately removing all\n               impediments to the provision of humanitarian assistance;\n                     7.     Notes in this regard the role that ceasefire agreements that are consistent\n               with humanitarian principles and international humanitarian law could play to\n               facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance in order to help save civilian lives,\n               and further underscores the need for the parties to agree on humanitarian pauses,\n               days of tranquillity, localized ceasefires and truces to allow humanitarian agencies\n               safe and unhindered access to all affected areas in Syria in accordance with\n               international humanitarian law, and recalls that starvation of civilians as a method\n               of combat is prohibited by international humanitarian law;\n                     8.    Decides that all Syrian parties to the conflict shall take all appropriate\n               steps to ensure the safety and security of United Nations and associated personnel,\n               those of its specialized agencies, and all other personnel engaged in humanitarian\n               relief activities as required by international humanitarian law, without prejudice to\n               their freedom of movement and access, stresses the need not to impede or hinder\n               these efforts, and recalls that attacks on humanitarian workers may amount to war\n               crimes;\n                      9.   Reiterates that the only sustainable solution to the current crisis in Syria\n               is through an inclusive and Syrian-led political process with a view to full\n               implementation of the Geneva Communiqué of 30 June 2012 endorsed as Annex II\n               of its resolution 2118 (2013), pays tribute to the efforts of Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, and\n               welcomes the appointment of the Special Envoy of the United Nations Secretary-General for Syria Mr. Staffan de Mistura;\n                     10. Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Council on the\n               implementation of this resolution, and on compliance with it by all Syrian parties to\n               the conflict, within the framework of its reporting on resolution 2139 (2014);\n                     11. Affirms that it will take further measures in the event of non-compliance\n               with this resolution or resolution 2139 (2014) by any Syrian party;\n                    12.

Calls upon all States to intensify efforts to secure a world free of the\n           scourge of war and conflict;\n                 3.

Acknowledges also that sanctions imposed under relevant provisions of\n               the Charter of the United Nations are an important tool in the maintenance and\n               restoration of international peace and security and can contribute to create\n               conditions conducive to the peaceful resolution of situations that threaten or breach\n               international peace and security, and support conflict prevention;\n                     9.

Recognizes that mediation is an important means for the pacific\n               settlement of disputes, including wherever possible pr eventively and before disputes\n               evolve into violence and appreciates the efforts of the Secretary-General to continue\n               to strengthen United Nations mediation support capacities, including the Mediation\n               Support Unit as a provider of mediation support to the U nited Nations system, in\n               accordance with agreed mandates;\n                     12.

Acknowledges that serious abuses and violations of international human\n               rights or humanitarian law, including sexual and gender-based violence, can be an\n               early indication of a descent into conflict or escalation of conflict, as well as a\n               consequence thereof; and calls on States which have not already done so to consider\n               ratifying the instruments of international humanitarian, human rights and refugee\n               law, and to take appropriate steps to implement these instruments domestically,\n               which could contribute to timely prevention of conflicts;\n                    14. Encourages the Secretary-General to continue to refer to the Council\n               information and analyses which he believes could contribute to the prevention of\n\n\n4/6                                                                                                     14-59579\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/2171 (2014)\n\n\n           armed conflict, including on cases of serious violations of inter national law,\n           including international humanitarian law and human rights law, and on potential\n           conflict situations arising, inter alia, from ethnic, religious and territorial disputes,\n           poverty and lack of development;\n                15. Expresses its commitment to take early and effective action to prevent\n           armed conflict and to that end to employ all appropriate means at its disposal, in\n           accordance with the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations;\n                 16.

            overall so far in 2014, and the profound negative impact of this on civilians, in\n               particular women and children, including through continued clashes between\n               Government forces and rebel armed groups, an escalation of inter-tribal fighting and\n               other local clashes, including with the involvement of paramilitary units and tribal\n               militias, and an increase in criminality and banditry, further expressing deep\n               concern that such clashes, including attacks by rebel groups and Government forces\n               and aerial bombardment by the Government of Sudan, inter-tribal fighting, banditry\n               and criminality continue to threaten civilians, while welcomin g a slight\n               improvement in

including attacks on\n               civilians, peacekeepers and humanitarian personnel,\n                     Recalling its resolution 2117 (2013) and expressing concern at the threat to\n               peace and security in Darfur arising from the illicit transfer, destabilizing\n               accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons, and the continued threats\n               to civilians posed by unexploded ordnance,\n                     Expressing deep concern at the significant increase in population\n               displacements this year and the consequent increase in humanitarian assistance and\n               protection needs, with an estimated 359,000 newly displaced since January this year,\n               around 260,000 of whom have been unable to return to their homes, alongside more\n               than 2 million long-term Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs),\n                    Recalling the commitments made by the Government of Sudan and other\n               signatories to the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur (DDPD) to ensure the\n               unimpeded access of humanitarian assistance to the population in need and the\n               protection of humanitarian workers and their operations in areas under their control,\n               as well as to guarantee the AU-UN Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID)\n               unimpeded freedom of movement in all areas and at all times in Darfur in the\n               exercise of its mandate,\n                     Further expressing concern that the suspension of operations or the\n               withdrawal of some international humanitarian actors have left significant gaps in\n               the delivery of humanitarian assistance, calling on the Government of Sudan to\n               ensure humanitarian actors can operate in support of addressing basic needs, and\n               calling on donors, the Darfur Regional Authority and the Government of Sudan to\n               provide the financial resources necessary to reach those in need,\n                    Reiterating that there can be no military solution to the conflict in Darfur, and\n               that an inclusive political settlement is essential to re -establishing peace, and\n               underscoring the importance of fully addressing the root causes of the conflict in the\n               search for a sustainable peace, which should rapidly deliver real benefits for the\n               Darfuri people, in this regard reiterating its support for the DDPD as a viable\n               framework for the Darfur peace process, and for its accelerated implementation, and\n               noting that this process and the national initiative for dialogue in Sudan could be\n               complementary and mutually reinforcing processes,\n                     Welcoming in this regard the announcement by President Bashir on 27 January\n               of a national dialogue, noting that the modalities of such a dialogue should provide\n               an opportunity to address the legitimate grievances of the people of Darfur, that the\n               national dialogue has the potential to offer an opp ortunity to pave the way for\n               lasting peace throughout Sudan, building on existing peace processes including the\n               DDPD, noting the stated commitment of the Government of Sudan to an inclusive\n               national dialogue, and calling for an enabling environment conducive to the national\n               dialogue, which would constitute a key step towards achieving a credible,\n               transparent, inclusive, nationally owned and Sudanese-led process; further calling\n               on all parties to engage constructively with this process, urging all parties to refrain\n               from any attempt to obstruct it, and looking forward to further developments\n               towards the implementation of an inclusive dialogue process,\n                     Deploring the fact that some armed groups have refused to join the peace\n               process and are impeding the implementation of the DDPD, reiterating its demand\n               for the release of members of the former movement of Mohamed Bashar, taken\n\n\n2/9                                                                                                       14-59957\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2173 (2014)\n\n\n           captive in May 2013 by JEM-Gibril forces, and condemning any actions by any\n           armed group aimed at forced overthrow of the Government of Sudan,\n                Noting in this regard that UNAMID’s ability to facilitate progress in\n           implementation of the DDPD is hampered by delays by the signatory parties and the\n           absence of an inclusive political settlement between the government and\n           non-signatory movements, urging the signatory parties to take the necessary\n           remaining steps to implement the DDPD fully, expressing concern that the\n           humanitarian and security situation, as well as lack of capacity of the Darfur\n           Regional Authority, hinder the transition from relief to stabilization and\n           development activities, urging donors and the Government of Sudan to honour their\n           pledges and fulfil their obligations in a timely manner, including those commitments\n           made at the conference in Doha in April 2013, welcoming the confirmation of the\n           Government of Qatar of its pledge of USD88.5 million, and the transfer of\n           USD10 million of this amount to the UN Darfur Fund in April, and affirming that\n           development can support a lasting peace in Darfur,\n                 Noting that local dispute resolution mechanisms play an important role in\n           preventing and resolving inter-communal conflict, including conflict over natural\n           resources, and urging an intensification of effective efforts to prevent local disputes\n           leading to violence, with its corresponding impact on the local civilian populations,\n           acknowledging the efforts of Sudanese authorities and local mediators to mediate in\n           inter-tribal fighting, with support from UNAMID and the UN Country Team\n           (UNCT), and urging their continued work,\n                 Welcoming regional and other initiatives, undertaken in close interaction with\n           the Government of Sudan, to address the root causes of the conflict in Darfur and to\n           promote a sustainable peace, including the convening by the President of Chad,\n           Idriss Deby Itno, of a second mediation forum in Um Jaras from 26 to 29 March\n           2014, and encouraging the full coordination of such initiatives with the efforts of\n           the Joint Special Representative,\n                Underlining, without prejudice to the Security Council’s primary responsibility\n           for the maintenance of international peace and security, the importance of the\n           partnership between the United Nations and the African Union (AU), consistent with\n           Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations, with regard to the maintenance of\n           peace and security in Africa, particularly in Sudan,\n                 Calling on all parties to comply with their obligations under international\n           human rights law and international humanitarian law, stressing the importance that\n           the Council attaches to ending impunity including through ensuring accountability\n           and bringing to justice the perpetrators of crimes committed by all parties in Darfur,\n           urging the Government of Sudan to comply with its obligations in this respect,\n           welcoming the ongoing investigations by the Special Prosecutor fo r Darfur\n           appointed by the Government of Sudan and stressing the need for further progress in\n           this regard, calling for swift progress on the draft Memorandum of Understanding\n           providing for UNAMID and African Union observation of the proceedings of the\n           Special Court, and calling on the Government of Sudan swiftly to investigate\n           attacks against UNAMID and to bring the perpetrators to justice,\n                Reaffirming its concern over the negative effect of ongoing violence in Darfur\n           on the stability of Sudan as a whole as well as the region, welcoming the ongoing\n           good relations between Sudan and Chad, including on border control, and\n\n\n\n14-59957                                                                                                      3/9\n\nS/RES/2173 (2014)\n\n\n               encouraging Sudan, Chad and the Central African Republic to continue to cooperate\n               in order to achieve peace and stability in Darfur and the wider region,\n                    Commending the efforts of UNAMID towards promoting peace and stability in\n               Darfur, and reiterating its full support for UNAMID,\n                   Welcoming the report of the Secretary-General of 22 July 2014 (S/2014/515)\n               on UNAMID,\n                     Welcoming the announcement by the Secretary-General on 2 July 2014 of a\n               review, following recent serious allegations against UNAMID, looking forward to\n               the swift and thorough implementation of this review and stressing the importance\n               of prompt and effective action on the results of that review, if necessary,\n                    Determining that the situation in Sudan constitutes a threat to international\n               peace and security,\n                     1.    Decides to extend the mandate of UNAMID, as set out in resolution\n               1769, for a further 10 months to 30 June 2015, in order to align the renewal cycle\n               with the decision of the AU Peace and Security Council of 9 July 2014, reiterates its\n               endorsement of UNAMID’s revised strategic priorities as set out in paragraph 4 of\n               resolution 2148 (2014) and requests that UNAMID continue to align all its activity\n               and direct the use of its resources to the achievement of these priorities;\n                     2.    Notes that certain elements of UNAMID’s mandate and tasks, as\n               authorized in resolution 1769 (2007), which decided that the mandate of UNAMID\n               shall be as set out in paragraphs 54 and 55 of the report of the Secretary -General\n               and the Chairperson of the African Union Commission of 5 June 2007\n               (S/2007/307/Rev.1), are no longer relevant, namely those enumerated in paragraphs\n               54 (h), 55 (a) (v), 55 (b) (ii-iii), and 55 (b) (v) of that report;\n                    3.   Commends the efforts of the Joint Special Representative to revitalize the\n               peace process and to increase its inclusiveness, guided by the Framework for AU\n               and United Nations facilitation of the Darfur Peace Process, including through\n               renewed engagement of the non-signatory movements, and emphasizes the\n               importance of the Joint Special Representative’s strengthened coordination with the\n               AU High-level Implementation Panel and the United Nations Special Envoy for\n               Sudan and South Sudan in synchronising their mediation efforts while taking into\n               account ongoing transformation at the national level;\n                    4.    Decides that UNAMID shall consist of up to 15,845 military personnel,\n               1,583 police personnel and 13 formed police units of up to 140 personnel each;\n                     5.    Welcomes the steps taken so far by UNAMID to implement the review of\n               UNAMID conducted pursuant to resolution 2113 (2014); requests continued swift\n               and full implementation of the review, including the streamlining of all UNAMID’s\n               components and aligning of activities to support achievement of its strategic\n               priorities, and the discontinuing of all other tasks not aligned to the Mission’s\n               strategic priorities; stresses the importance of the appropriate distribution of tasks\n               and coordination between UNAMID and the UNCT in order to implement the\n               review of UNAMID; and requests a detailed update on the streamlining of the\n               civilian component by 15 September 2014;\n                    6.

       the most serious threats to international peace and security and that any acts of\n               terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable regardless of their motivations, whenever\n               and by whomsoever committed, and remaining determined to contribute further to\n               enhancing the effectiveness of the overall effort to fight this scourge on a global\n               level,\n                     Noting with concern that the terrorism threat has become more diffuse, with an\n               increase, in various regions of the world, of terrorist acts including those motivated\n               by intolerance or extremism, and expressing its determination to combat this threat,\n                     Bearing in mind the need to address the conditions conducive to the

roots and\n               establish safe havens to address better the growing threat posed by terrorism,\n                     Emphasizing that terrorism cannot and should not be associated with any\n

all their obligations under international law, in\n               particular international human rights law, international refugee law, and\n               international humanitarian law, underscoring

essential part of a\n               successful counter-terrorism effort and notes the importance of respect for the rule\n               of law so as to effectively prevent and combat terrorism, and

perpetration, planning, or preparation\n               of, or participation in, terrorist acts or the providing or receiving of terrorist\n               training, including in connection with armed conflict, and resolving to address this\n               threat,\n                     Expressing grave concern about those who attempt to travel to become foreign\n               terrorist fighters,\n                     Concerned that foreign terrorist fighters increase the intensity, duration and\n               intractability of conflicts, and also may pose a serious threat to their States of origin,\n               the States they transit and the States to which they travel, as well as States\n               neighbouring zones of armed conflict in which foreign terrorist fighters are active\n               and that are affected by serious security burdens, and noting that the threat of\n               foreign terrorist fighters may affect all regions and Member States, even those far\n               from conflict zones, and expressing grave concern that foreign terrorist fighters are\n               using their extremist ideology to promote terrorism,\n                     Expressing concern that international networks have been established by\n               terrorists and terrorist entities among States of origin, transit and destination\n               through which foreign terrorist fighters and the resources to support them have been\n               channelled back and forth,\n                     Expressing particular concern that foreign terrorist fighters are being recruited\n               by and are joining entities such as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL),\n               the Al-Nusrah Front (ANF) and other cells, affiliates, splinter groups or derivatives\n               of Al-Qaida, as designated by the Committee established pursuant to resolutions\n               1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011), recognizing that the foreign

entities, including by recruiting for\n               or otherwise supporting acts or activities of such entities, and stressing the urgent\n               need to address this particular threat,\n                     Recognizing that addressing the threat posed by foreign terrorist fighters\n               requires comprehensively addressing underlying factors, including by preventing\n               radicalization to terrorism, stemming recruitment, inhibiting foreign terrorist fighter\n               travel, disrupting financial support to foreign terrorist fighters, countering violent\n               extremism, which can be conducive to terrorism, countering incitement to terrorist\n               acts motivated by extremism or intolerance, promoting political and religious\n               tolerance, economic development and social cohesion and inclusiveness, ending and\n               resolving armed conflicts, and facilitating reintegration and rehabilitation,\n                     Recognizing also that terrorism will not be defeated by military force, law\n               enforcement measures, and intelligence operations alone, and underlining the need\n               to address the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism, as outlined in Pillar I\n               of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy (A/RES/60/288),\n                    Expressing concern over the increased use by terrorists and their supporters of\n               communications technology for the purpose of radicalizing to terrorism, recruiting\n               and inciting others to commit terrorist acts, including through the internet, and\n\n\n\n2/8                                                                                                         14-61606\n\n

terrorist\n           fighters, and underlining the need for Member States to act cooperatively to prevent\n           terrorists from exploiting technology, communications and resources to incite\n           support for terrorist acts, while respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms\n           and in compliance with other obligations under international law,\n                 Noting with appreciation the activities undertaken in the area of capacity\n           building by United Nations entities, in particular entities of the Counter-Terrorism\n           Implementation Task Force (CTITF), including the United Nations Office of Drugs\n           and Crime (UNODC) and the United Nations Centre for Count er-Terrorism\n           (UNCCT), and also the efforts of the Counter Terrorism Committee Executive\n           Directorate (CTED) to facilitate technical assistance, specifically by promoting\n           engagement between providers of capacity-building assistance and recipients, in\n           coordination with other relevant international, regional and subregional\n           organizations, to assist Member States, upon their request, in implementation of the\n

suppress international terrorism, and noting the\n           work of the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF), in particular its recent\n           adoption of a comprehensive set of good practices to address the foreign terrorist\n           fighter phenomenon, and its publication of several other framework documents and\n           good practices, including in the areas of countering violent extremism, criminal\n           justice, prisons, kidnapping for ransom, providing support to victims of terrorism,\n           and community-oriented policing, to assist interested States with the practical\n           implementation of the United Nations counter-terrorism legal and policy framework\n           and to complement the work of the relevant United Nations counter-terrorism\n           entities in these areas,\n                 Noting with appreciation the efforts of INTERPOL to address the threat posed\n           by foreign terrorist fighters, including through global law enforcement information\n           sharing enabled by the use of its secure communications network, databases, and\n           system of advisory notices, procedures to track stolen, forged identity papers and\n           travel documents, and INTERPOL’s counter-terrorism fora and foreign terrorist\n           fighter programme,\n                 Having regard to and highlighting the situation of individuals of more than\n           one nationality who travel to their states of nationality for the purpose of the\n           perpetration, planning, preparation of, or participation in, terrorist

Recalls its decision in resolution 1373 (2001) that Member States shall\n               afford one another the greatest measure of assistance in connection with criminal\n               investigations or proceedings relating to the financing or support of terrorist acts,\n               including assistance in obtaining evidence in their possession necessary for the\n               proceedings, and underlines the importance of fulfilling this obligation with respect\n               to such investigations or proceedings involving foreign terrorist fighters;\n                     13. Encourages Interpol to intensify its efforts with respect to the foreign\n               terrorist fighter threat and to recommend or put in place additional resources to\n               support and encourage national, regional and international measures to monitor and\n               prevent the transit of foreign terrorist fighters, such as expanding the use of\n               INTERPOL Special Notices to include foreign terrorist fighters;\n                     14. Calls upon States to help build the capacity of States to address the threat\n               posed by foreign terrorist fighters, including to prevent and i nterdict foreign\n               terrorist fighter travel across land and maritime borders, in particular the States\n               neighbouring zones of armed conflict where there are foreign terrorist fighters, and\n               welcomes and encourages bilateral assistance by Member States to help build such\n               national capacity;\n\n               Countering Violent Extremism in Order to Prevent Terrorism\n                     15. Underscores that countering violent extremism, which can be conducive\n               to terrorism, including preventing radicalization, recruitment, and mobilization of\n               individuals into terrorist groups and becoming foreign terrorist fighters is an\n               essential element of addressing the threat to international peace and security posed\n               by foreign terrorist fighters, and calls upon Member States to enhance efforts to\n               counter this kind of violent extremism;\n                     16.

Emphasizes in this regard the importance of Member States’ effo rts to\n           develop non-violent alternative avenues for conflict prevention and resolution by\n           affected individuals and local communities to decrease the risk of radicalization to\n           terrorism, and of efforts to promote peaceful alternatives to violent narratives\n           espoused by foreign terrorist fighters, and underscores the role education can play\n           in countering terrorist narratives;\n\n           United Nations Engagement on the Foreign Terrorist Fighter Threat\n                 20.

Directs the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999)\n           and 1989 (2011) and the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team, in\n           close cooperation with all relevant United Nations counter-terrorism bodies, in\n           particular CTED, to devote special focus to the threat posed by foreign terrorist\n           fighters recruited by or joining ISIL, ANF and all groups, undertakings and entities\n           associated with Al-Qaida;\n                 22. Encourages the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team to\n           coordinate its efforts to monitor and respond to the threat po sed by foreign terrorist\n           fighters with other United Nations counter-terrorism bodies, in particular the\n           CTITF;\n                23. Requests the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team, in close\n           cooperation with other United Nations counter-terrorism bodies, to report to the\n           Committee established pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011) within\n           180 days, and provide a preliminary oral update to the Com mittee within 60 days,\n           on the threat posed by foreign terrorist fighters recruited by or joining ISIL, ANF\n           and all groups, undertakings and entities associated with Al -Qaida, including:\n\n\n\n14-61606                                                                                                      7/8\n\nS/RES/2178 (2014)\n\n\n                     (a) a comprehensive assessment of the threat posed by these foreign t errorist\n               fighters, including their facilitators, the most affected regions and trends in\n               radicalization to terrorism, facilitation, recruitment, demographics, and financing;\n               and\n                     (b) recommendations for actions that can be taken to enhance the response to\n               the threat posed by these foreign terrorist fighters;\n                     24. Requests the Counter-Terrorism Committee, within its existing mandate\n               and with the support of CTED, to identify principal gaps in Member States’\n               capacities to implement Security Council resolutions 1373 (2001) and 1624 (2005)\n               that may hinder States’ abilities to stem the flow of foreign terrorist fighters, as well\n               as to identify good practices to stem the flow of foreign terrorist fighters in the\n               implementation of resolutions 1373 (2001) and 1624 (2005), and to facilitate\n               technical assistance, specifically by promoting engagement between providers of\n               capacity-building assistance and recipients, especially those in the most affected\n               regions, including through the development, upon their request, of comprehensive\n               counter-terrorism strategies that encompass countering violent radicalization and the\n               flow of foreign terrorist fighters, recalling the roles of other relevant actors, for\n               example the Global Counterterrorism Forum;\n                    25. Underlines that the increasing threat posed by foreign terrorist fighte rs is\n               part of the emerging issues, trends and developments related to resolutions 1373\n               (2001) and 1624 (2005), that, in paragraph 5 of resolution 2129 (2013), the Security\n               Council directed CTED to identify, and therefore merits close attention by the\n               Counter-Terrorism Committee, consistent with its mandate;\n                   26.

the Joint Border\n               Verification and Monitoring Mechanism (JBVMM), in accordance with Security\n               Council resolution 2046 and the AUPSC Roadmap of 24 April 2012, as a result of\n               South Sudan’s continued disagreement with the location of the SDBZ centreline,\n                   Underlining the importance of fully establishing and maintaining effective\n               JBVMM monitoring of the SDBZ, including the “14 Mile Area”,\n                    Stressing that both countries will have much to gain if they show restraint and\n               choose the path of dialogue instead of resorting to violence or provocations,\n                     Welcoming further regular meetings between President Bashir and President\n               Salva Kiir for continuing dialogue, recalling the United Nations Security Council\n               decision in resolution 2046 that the parties must resume immediately negotiations to\n               reach agreement on Abyei final status under the auspices of the AUHIP, calling\n               upon all parties to engage constructively in the process mediated by the AUHIP\n               towards final agreement on the

dispute over the Abyei Area Council and\n               immediately establish the Abyei Area Administration and Abyei Police Service,\n                    Commending the continued assistance provided to the parties by the AUHIP,\n               including its Chairman President Thabo Mbeki, former Presidents Abd ulsalami\n               Abubakar and Pierre Buyoya, the Chairperson of the

       acknowledging UNISFA’s contribution to enhanced peace and stability since its\n           deployment, and determined to prevent the recurrence of violence against or\n           displacements of civilians and to avert intercommunal conflict,\n                Expressing its determination that the future status of Abyei shall be resolved\n           by negotiations between the parties in a manner co nsistent with the CPA and not by\n           the unilateral actions of either party,\n                 Deeply concerned by the public administration and rule of law vacuum in the\n           Abyei Area, due to continued delays in the establishment of the Abyei Area\n           Administration, Council and Police, including a special unit to deal with particular\n           issues related to nomadic migration, which are essential to maintain law and order\n           and prevent intercommunal conflict in Abyei,\n                Noting with concern the continued threat of intercommunal violence in the\n           Abyei Area, including the ongoing tensions that prevent UNISFA’s and other\n           agencies’ Sudanese staff from returning to Abyei,\n                 Noting that the continued delay in establishing the temporary institutions and\n           resolving the final status of Abyei contributes to tension in the region, urging all\n           parties to refrain from any unilateral action to aggravate intercommunal relations\n           within Abyei Area, and expressing concern over the continued implications of what\n           the AUPSC described in their 6 November 2013 press state ment as “the decision by\n           the Ngok Dinka to conduct a unilateral referendum”,\n                 Taking note of the 7 September 2014 announcement by the Sudan National\n           Election Commission to include the Abyei Area as a geographical constituency in\n           the 2015 elections, which according to the 30 September 2014 Secretary-General’s\n           report (S/2014/709) “can pose a serious risk to the stability of Abyei”,\n                 Bearing in mind the importance of coherence of United Nations assistance in\n           the region,\n                Welcoming and encouraging efforts by the United Nations to sensitize\n           peacekeeping personnel in the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS and other\n           communicable diseases in all of its peacekeeping operations,\n                 Stressing the need for effective human rights monitoring, including of any\n           sexual and gender-based violence and violations and abuses committed against\n           children, taking note that there have been no developments with regard to the\n           operationalization of human rights monitoring in the Abyei Area, and reiterating its\n           concern at the lack of cooperation by the parties with the Secretary-General to this\n           end,\n                 Further stressing the urgency of facilitating the delivery of humanitarian\n           assistance to all affected communities in the Abyei Area,\n                 Affirming the importance of voluntary, safe, orderly return and sustainable\n           reintegration of displaced persons, and of peaceful and orderly migration cycles\n           respecting the traditional migratory routes from Sudan to South Sudan through\n           Abyei, and urging UNISFA to take measures as necessary to ensure security in the\n           Abyei Area in accordance with its mandate,\n\n\n\n\n14-62594

security in Abyei arising from the illicit transfer, destabilizing\n               accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons,\n                    Expressing concern with the residual threat of landmines and explosive\n               remnants of war in the Abyei Area, which hinders the safe return of displaced\n               persons to their homes and safe migration,\n                    Taking note of the 30 September 2014 Secretary-General’s report\n               (S/2014/709), including its assessment that the political and security situation on the\n               ground is relatively calm, but can easily escalate into open conflict, with a\n               commensurate risk of deterioration of bilateral relations between Sudan and South\n               Sudan, and the recommendations contained therein,\n                    Recognizing that the current situation in Abyei and along the border between\n               the Sudan and South Sudan continues to constitute a serious threat to international\n               peace and security,\n                     1.    Decides to extend until 28 February 2015 the mandate of the United\n               Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) as set out in pa ragraph 2 of\n               resolution 1990 (2011) and modified by resolution 2024 (2011) and paragraph 1 of\n               resolution 2075 (2012), and acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United\n               Nations, further decides to extend until 28 February 2015 the mandate of UNISFA\n               as set out in paragraph 3 of resolution 1990, and determines that for the purposes of\n               paragraph 1 of resolution 2024 (2011), support to the operational activities of the\n               JBVMM shall include support to the Ad Hoc Committees, as appropriate when so\n               requested by consensual decisions of these mechanisms, within UNISFA’s\n               operational area and existing capabilities;\n                     2.   Takes note of the recommendations in the 30 September Secretary-General’s report, and welcomes the UNISFA initiatives to support resumption of\n               community dialogue and administration by the communities under Abyei Joint\n               Oversight Committee (AJOC) supervision; in this regard, calls upon the\n               communities and the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan to take concrete steps\n               towards that goal; and further welcomes the current and future support in these\n               efforts from the United Nations, African Union and Government of the Federal\n               Democratic Republic of Ethiopia;\n                     3.   Reiterates its demand that Sudan and South Sudan immediately resume\n               the work of the AJOC, and calls upon the Government of South Sudan to name\n               immediately an AJOC Co-Chair to ensure steady progress on the implementation of\n               the 20 June 2011 Agreement, including the implementation of the AJOC decisions,\n               and requests the Secretary-General to provide an assessment of progress on these\n               issues in his regular reports, including on his recommendations resulting from the\n               May 2014 Strategic Review of UNISFA;\n                    4.    Further reiterates its demand that Sudan and South Sudan urgently\n               commence the establishment of the Abyei Area Administration and Council,\n               including by resolving the deadlock over the composition of the Council, and\n               constitute the Abyei Police Service, to enable it to take over policing functions\n               throughout the Abyei Area, including the protection of oil infrastructure, in\n               accordance with their commitments in the 20 June 2011 Agreement;\n\n\n\n\n4/7                                                                                                      14-62594\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2179 (2014)\n\n\n                 5.    Decides to maintain the troops authorized by resolution 2104 (2013)\n           already deployed, and that the remaining authorized forces continue to be deployed\n           consistent with the progressive reactivation of the JBVMM, to enable UNISFA to\n           provide required force protection to the JBVMM and to enable UNISFA to fully\n           support the JBVMM to conduct extended operations into the SDBZ as soon as\n           possible, and requests the Secretary-General to keep the Council fully updated on\n           the status of deployment as part of his regular reporting cycle;\n                6.    Expresses concern regarding the stalled efforts to fully operationalize the\n           JBVMM, as a result of South Sudan’s continued disagreement with th e location of\n           the SDBZ centreline, and calls upon the Government of Sudan and the Government\n           of South Sudan to make timely and effective use of the JBVMM, JPSM, and other\n           agreed joint mechanisms to ensure the security and transparency of the SDBZ,\n           including the “14 Mile Area”;\n                 7.    Urges renewed efforts to determine conclusively the SDBZ centreline on\n           the ground, and reiterates that the centreline of the SDBZ in no way prejudices the\n           current or future legal status of the border, ongoing negotiations on the d isputed and\n           claimed areas, and demarcation of the borders;\n                8.    Underscores that UNISFA’s protection of civilians mandate as set out in\n           paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011) includes taking the necessary actions to\n           protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence, irrespective of the\n           source of such violence;\n                 9.   Condemns the presence of South Sudan security service personnel and\n           Diffra Oil Police units deployed in the Abyei Area, as well as the repeated entry of\n           Misseriya militias into the territory, and reiterates its demands that immediately and\n           without preconditions the Government of South Sudan fully redeploy its security\n           service personnel from the Abyei Area and that the Government of Sudan also\n           redeploy the Oil Police in Diffra from the Abyei Area, and further reiterates, in\n           accordance with relevant resolutions, in particular resolution 1990 and resolution\n           2046, that the Abyei Area shall be demilitarized from any forces, as well as armed\n           elements of the local communities, other than UNISFA and the Abyei Police\n           Service;\n                 10. Supports the AJOC’s 3 May 2013 decision on Abyei’s status as a\n           weapons-free area, underscores the AUPSC’s concern in its 7 May 2013\n           Communiqué over reports that various communities living in Abyei are heavily\n           armed, recalls that the 20 June 2011 Agreement on Temporary Arrangements for the\n           Administration and Security of the Abyei Area stipulates that Abyei should be a\n           weapons-free area and that only UNISFA is authorized to carry weapons inside the\n           area, and in this regard, urges the two Governments to take all necessary steps to\n           ensure that Abyei is effectively demilitarized, including through disarmament\n           programs as necessary;\n                 11. Requests that UNISFA, consistent with its mandate and within its\n           existing capabilities, observe, document and report on the movement of weapons\n           into Abyei and the presence of weapons within Abyei as part of the Secretary -\n           General’s regular reporting cycle;\n                12. Urges the two Governments immediately to take steps to implement\n           confidence-building measures among the respective communities in Abyei Area,\n           including through reconciliation processes at the grass-roots level and supporting\n\n\n14-62594                                                                                                      5/7\n\nS/RES/2179 (2014)\n\n\n               UNISFA in convening a peace conference between the Ngok Dinka and Mis seriya\n               traditional chiefs, and strongly urges all Abyei communities to exercise maximum\n               restraint in all their engagements and to desist from inflammatory acts or statements\n               that may lead to violent clashes, or any further unilateral activities;\n                     13. Requests UNISFA to continue its dialogue with the AJOC and with the\n               Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities on effective strategies and oversight\n               mechanisms for ensuring full compliance by all relevant parties with Abyei’s status\n               as a weapons-free area, with a particular priority placed on the urgent elimination of\n               heavy or crew-served weapons, as well as rocket-propelled grenades, and calls upon\n               the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan, the AJOC, and the Misseriya and Ngok\n               Dinka communities to extend full cooperation to UNISFA in this regard;\n                    14. Calls upon all parties to cooperate fully with the findings and\n               recommendations following the Abyei Area Joint Investigation and Inquiry\n               Committee’s (AAJIIC’s) investigation into the killing of a UNISFA peacekeeper and\n               the Ngok Dinka paramount chief;\n                     15. Expresses its intention to review as appropriate the mandate of UNISFA\n               for possible reconfiguration of the mission in light of the compliance by Sudan and\n               South Sudan with the decisions set forth in resolution 2046 and th eir commitments\n               as set forth in the Agreements of 20 June, 29 June, 30 July 2011 and 27 September\n               2012, including the redeployment of all forces from the SDBZ, achieving full\n               operational capability for the JVBMM, and the Ad Hoc Committees, as well as\n               completing the full demilitarization of the Abyei Area;\n                    16. Calls upon all Member States, in particular Sudan and South Sudan, to\n               ensure the free, unhindered and expeditious movement to and from Abyei and\n               throughout the SDBZ of all personnel, as well as equip ment, provisions, supplies\n               and other goods, including vehicles, aircraft, and spare parts, which are for the\n               exclusive and official use of UNISFA;\n                     17. Renews its call upon the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan to\n               provide full support to the United Nations, including by promptly issuing visas to\n               military, police and civilian United Nations personnel, including humanitarian\n               personnel, without prejudice to their nationality, facilitating basing arrangements\n               and flight clearances, and providing logistical support, and calls upon all parties to\n               fully adhere to their obligations under the Status of Forces Agreements;\n                     18. Recognizes the absence of critical infrastructure projects affecting\n               UNISFA peacekeeping personnel, notes the action being taken to address this\n               situation, and urges the Secretary-General to continue to take the measures available\n               to him to remediate this situation and better enable UNISFA to implement its\n               mandate;\n                     19.

Further demands that all parties involved provide humanitarian\n               personnel with full, safe and unhindered access to civilians in need of assistance and\n               all necessary facilities for their operations, in accordance with international law,\n\n\n\n\n6/7                                                                                                     14-62594\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/2179 (2014)\n\n\n           including applicable international humanitarian law, and United Nations guidin g\n           principles of humanitarian assistance;\n                 21.

Requests the Secretary-General to take the necessary measures to ensure\n           full compliance of UNISFA with the United Nations zero tolerance policy on sexual\n           exploitation and abuses and to keep the Council informed if cases of such conduct\n           occur;\n                 23. Stresses that continued cooperation between the Government of Sudan\n           and Government of South Sudan is also critical for peace, security and stability and\n           the future relations between them;\n                 24.

including fisheries,\n                    While noting that the joint counter-piracy efforts of States, regions,\n               organizations, the maritime industry, the private sector, think tanks, and civil society\n               have resulted in a sharp decline in pirate attacks as well as hijackings since 2011,\n               continuing to be gravely concerned by the on-going threat that

controlled by pirates, as well as their reported coercion to participate in activities\n               that support piracy,\n                    Recognizing the need to investigate and prosecute not

persons suspected of piracy having been released without facing justice,\n               reaffirming that the failure to prosecute persons responsible for acts of piracy and\n               armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia undermines anti -piracy efforts,\n                     Further reaffirming that international law, as reflected in the United Nations\n               Convention

Permanent Representative\n               of Somalia to the United Nations expressing the appreciation of Somali authorities\n               to the Security Council for its assistance, expressing their willingness to cons ider\n               working with other States and regional organizations to combat piracy and armed\n               robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and requesting that

on-going network and mechanism for sharing information and evidence between\n               investigators and prosecutors, in accordance with international law, welcoming the\n               work by

encouraging States to regulate such activities in accordance with applicable\n           international law and permit charters to favour arrangements that make use of su ch\n           measures,\n                Noting the request of some Member States on the need to review the\n           boundaries of the HRA on an objective and transparent basis, taking into account\n           actual incidents of piracy, and noting that the HRA is set and defined by the\n           insurance and maritime industry,\n                 Welcoming the capacity-building efforts in the region made by the\n           International Maritime Organization-(IMO)-funded Djibouti Code of Conduct, the\n           Trust Fund and the European Union’s activities under EUCAP Nestor, which is\n           working with the

cooperate fully,\n                 Supporting the development of a coastal police force, noting with appreciation\n           the efforts made by the IMO and the shipping industry to develop and

  of Aden, and the Indian Ocean area, and recognizing the work of the IMO and the\n           CGPCS in this regard, noting the efforts of the International Organization for\n           Standardization, which has developed industry standards of training and\n           certification for Private Maritime Security Companies when providing PCASP on\n           board ships in high-risk areas, and further welcoming the European Union’s EUCAP\n           Nestor, which is working to develop the sea-going maritime security capacities of\n           Somalia, Djibouti, Seychelles, and Tanzania,\n                 Noting with concern that the continuing limited capacity and domestic\n           legislation to facilitate the custody and prosecution of suspected pirates after their\n           capture has hindered more robust international action against the pirates off the\n           coast of Somalia, too often has led to pirates being released without facing justice,\n           regardless of whether there is sufficient evidence to support prosecution, and\n           reiterating that, consistent with the provisions of The Convention concerning the\n           repression of piracy, the 1988 Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts\n           Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation (“SUA Convention”) provides for parties\n           to create criminal offences, establish jurisdiction, and accept delivery of persons\n           responsible for or suspected of seizing or exercising control over a ship by force or\n           threat thereof or any other form of

preservation of crime scenes following acts of piracy, and noting the importance\n           of enabling seafarers to give evidence in criminal proceedings to prosecute acts of\n           piracy,\n\n\n\n14-64606                                                                                                     3/9\n\nS/RES/2184 (2014)\n\n\n                     Further recognizing that pirate networks continue to rely on kidnapping and\n               hostage-taking to help generate funding to purchase weapons, gain recruits, and\n               continue their operational activities, thereby jeopardizing the safety and security of\n               civilians and restricting the flow of commerce, and welcoming international efforts\n               to coordinate the work of investigators and prosecutors, inter alia, through the Law\n               Enforcement Task Force and collect and share information to disrupt the pirate\n               enterprise, as exemplified by INTERPOL’s Global Database on Maritime Piracy,\n               and taking note of the on-going efforts of the Regional Fusion and Law\n               Enforcement Centre for Safety and Security at Sea, hosted by Seychelles to combat\n               piracy and transnational organized crime,\n                     Reaffirming international condemnation of acts of kidnapping and hostage -\n               taking, including offences contained within the International Convention against the\n               Taking of Hostages, strongly condemning the continuing practice of hostage-taking\n               by pirates operating off the coast of Somalia, expressing serious concern at the\n               inhumane conditions hostages face in captivity, recognizing the adverse impact on\n               their families, calling for the immediate release of all hostages, and noting the\n               importance of cooperation between Member States on the issue of hostage -taking\n               and the prosecution of suspected pirates for taking hostages,\n                     Commending Kenya, Mauritius, Seychelles, and Tanzania for their effo rts to\n               prosecute suspected pirates in their national courts, and noting with appreciation the\n               assistance provided by the UNODC Maritime Crime Programme, the Trust Fund,\n               and other international organizations and donors, in coordination with the CGPCS,\n               to support Kenya, Mauritius, Seychelles, Tanzania, Somalia, and other States in the\n               region with their efforts to prosecute, or incarcerate in a third State after prosecution\n               elsewhere, pirates, including facilitators and financiers ashore, consistent with\n               applicable international human rights law, and emphasizing the need for States and\n               international organizations to further enhance international efforts in this regard,\n                     Welcoming the readiness of the national and regional administrations of\n               Somalia to cooperate with each other and with States who have prosecuted\n               suspected pirates with a view to enabling convicted pirates to be repatriated back to\n               Somalia under suitable prisoner transfer arrangements, consistent with applicable\n               international law, including international human rights law, and acknowledging the\n               return from Seychelles to Somalia of convicted prisoners willing and eligible to\n               serve their sentences

coast of\n               Somalia and provide useful guidance for the investigation and prosecution of\n               pirates, including on specialized anti-piracy courts,\n                     Stressing the need for States to consider possible methods to assist the\n               seafarers who are victims of pirates, and welcoming in this regard the efforts of the\n               “Hostage Support Programme” and the new Piracy Survivor Family Fund launched\n               at the recent CGPCS to provide support to hostages during their release and return\n               home, as well as

appreciation the on-going efforts by UNODC to support\n           efforts to enhance Somalia’s maritime security and law enforc ement capacities, also\n           noting efforts by UNODC and UNDP and the funding provided by the Trust Fund,\n           the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other donors to\n           develop regional judicial and law enforcement capacity to investigate, arrest , and\n           prosecute suspected pirates and to incarcerate convicted pirates consistent with\n           applicable international human rights law,\n                 Bearing in mind the Djibouti Code of Conduct concerning the Repression of\n           Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in the Western Indian Ocean and the Gulf\n           of Aden, noting the operations of information-sharing centres in Yemen, Kenya, and\n           Tanzania and the regional maritime training centre in Djibouti, and recognizing the\n           efforts of signatory States to develop the appropriate regul atory and legislative\n           frameworks to combat piracy, enhance their capacity to patrol the waters of the\n           region, interdict suspect vessels, and prosecute suspected pirates,\n                 Emphasizing that peace and stability within Somalia, the strengthening of\n           State institutions, economic and social development, and respect for human rights\n           and the rule of law are necessary to create the conditions for a durable eradication of\n           piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and further emphasizing\n           that Somalia’s long-term security rests with the effective development by Somali\n           authorities of the Somali National Security Forces,\n                Taking note with appreciation the work of the Indian Ocean Rim Association\n           (IORA) at the fourteenth meeting of its Council of Ministers t o bolster maritime\n           security and safety, including through the announcement of the second Indian Ocean\n           Dialogue, which will continue to explore options to enhance counter-piracy\n           cooperation, including through improved maritime information -sharing\n           arrangements and stronger national legal capacity and laws, encouraging IORA to\n           pursue efforts that are complementary to and coordinated with the ongoing work of\n           the CGPCS, and welcoming Somalia’s application of membership for IORA as an\n           important step towards building closer regional cooperation on maritime security\n           and other issues,\n                 Recognizing that the ongoing instability in Somalia and the acts of piracy and\n           armed robbery at sea off its coast are inextricably linked, and stressing the need to\n           continue the comprehensive response by the international community to repress\n           piracy and armed robbery at sea and tackle its underlying causes, recognizing the\n           need to undertake long-term and sustainable efforts to repress piracy and the need to\n           create adequate economic opportunities for the citizens of Somalia,\n                 Determining that the incidents of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast\n           of Somalia, as well as the activity of pirate groups in Somalia, are an important\n           factor exacerbating the situation in Somalia, which co ntinues to constitute a threat\n           to international peace and security in the region,\n                Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                1.    Reiterates that it condemns and deplores all acts of piracy and armed\n           robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia;\n                2.   Recognizes that the on-going instability in Somalia is one of the\n           underlying causes of the problem of piracy and contributes to the problem of piracy\n           and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, while piracy, in turn, exacerbates\n\n\n\n14-64606                                                                                                      5/9\n\nS/RES/2184 (2014)\n\n\n               instability by introducing large amounts of illicit cash that fuels additional crime\n               and corruption in Somalia;\n                     3.    Stresses the need for a comprehensive response to repress piracy and\n               tackle its underlying causes by the international community;\n                     4.   Underlines the primary responsibility of Somali authorities in the fight\n               against piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia and urgently\n               requests the Somali authorities, with assistance from the Secretary-General and\n               relevant United Nations entities, to pass a comprehensive set of anti-piracy and\n               maritime laws without further delay and establish security forces with clear roles\n               and jurisdictions to enforce these laws and to continue to develop, with international\n               support as appropriate, the capacity of Somali courts to investigate and prosecute\n               persons responsible for acts of piracy and armed robbery, including key figures of\n               criminal networks involved in piracy who plan, organize, facilitate, or illicitly\n               finance or profit from such attacks, and notes the Proclamation by the President of\n               the Federal Republic of Somalia on 30 June 2014 of the Exclusive Economic Zone\n               of the Federal Republic of Somalia;\n                     5.

purposes and principles of the Charter of the\n               United Nations,\n                     Expressing outrage at the unacceptable and escalating level of violence and\n               the killing of more than 191,000 people, including well over 10,000 children, as a\n               result of the Syrian conflict, as reported by the Secretary-General of the United\n               Nations

under international humanitarian law\n               and international human rights law, as well as all the relevant decisions of the\n               Security Council, including by ceasing all attacks

well as the use of starvation of\n               civilians as a method of combat, including by the besiegement of populated areas,\n               and the widespread use of torture, ill-treatment,

and the Levant (ISIL) and Al Nusrah Front (ANF) and about\n               the negative impact of their presence, violent extremist ideology and actions on\n               stability in Syria and the region, including the devastating humanitarian impact on\n               the civilian populations which has led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands\n               of people, reaffirming its resolve to address all aspects of the threat posed by ISIL,\n               ANF and all other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with\n               Al-Qaida, and calling for

Strongly condemning the arbitrary detention and torture of civilians in Syria,\n               notably in prisons and detention facilities, as well as the kidnappings, abductions,\n               hostage taking and forced disappearances, and demanding the immediate end of\n               these practices and the release of all arbitrarily detained persons starting with\n               women and children, as well as sick, wounded and elderly people including United\n               Nations and humanitarian personnel and journalists,\n                     Recalling its strong condemnation in resolution 2175 (2014) of all forms of\n               violence and intimidation to which those participating in humanitarian operations\n               are increasingly exposed, as well as attacks on humanitarian convoys and acts of\n               destruction and looting of their assets, and its urging of all parties involved in an\n               armed conflict to promote the safety, security and freedom of movement of\n               humanitarian personnel and United Nations and its associated personnel and their\n               assets, and urging that all parties to the Syrian domestic conflict must take all\n               appropriate steps to ensure the safety and security of United Nations and associated\n               personnel, those of its specialized agencies, and all other personnel engaged in\n               humanitarian relief activities,\n                     Noting that, despite all the challenges, the United Nations and their\n               implementing partners continue to deliver life-saving assistance to millions of\n               people in need, and taking note that hard-to-reach locations in Aleppo, Idleb,\n               Quneitra and Dar’a have been reached since the adoption of resolution 2165 (2014)\n               through humanitarian aid delivered across borders, stressing however in this regard\n               that most people in hard-to-reach and besieged areas remain difficult for the United\n               Nations and their implementing partners to reach with humanitarian assistance,\n                     Expressing deep concern at the continuing and new impediments to the\n               delivery of humanitarian assistance across borders and across conflict lines,\n               encouraging the United Nations humanitarian agencies and their implementing\n               partners to take steps to scale up humanitarian deliveries into hard-to-reach and\n               besieged areas, including by using, as effectively as possible, border crossings under\n               resolution 2165 (2014), and noting that the United Nations monitoring mechanism is\n               operational and continuing its activities, including monitoring shipments and\n               confirming their humanitarian nature, in accordance with resolution 2165 (2014),\n                     Reaffirming the need to support the United Nations humanitarian agencies and\n               their implementing partners in their efforts to expand the delivery of humanitarian\n               assistance to reach all people in need in Syria, and further reaffirming its decision in\n               resolution 2165 (2014) that all Syrian parties to the conflict shall enable the\n\n\n\n2/4

immediate and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance directly to people\n           throughout Syria, by the United Nations humanitarian agencies and their\n           implementing partners, on the basis of United Nations assessments of need and\n           devoid of any political prejudices and aims, including by immediately removing all\n           impediments to the provision of humanitarian assistance,\n                 Noting the role that ceasefire agreements which are consistent with\n           humanitarian principles and international humanitarian law can play in facilitating\n           the delivery of humanitarian assistance in order to help save civilian lives,\n                 Recalling the need for all parties to respect the relevant provisions of\n           international humanitarian law and the United Nations guiding principles of\n           humanitarian emergency assistance,\n                Expressing grave concern at the more than 3.2 million refugees, including\n           more than 2.5 million women and children, who have fled Syria as a result of\n           ongoing violence, and recognizing that the continued deterioration of the\n           humanitarian situation in Syria is further contributing to the movement of refugees\n           and poses risks to regional stability,\n                 Reiterating its deep appreciation for the significant and admirable efforts that\n           have been made by the countries of the region, notably Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey,\n           Iraq and Egypt, to accommodate Syrian refugees, including the approximately\n           400,000 refugees who have fled Syria since the adoption of resolution 2165 (2014),\n           and mindful of the immense costs and social challenges incurred by these countries\n           as a consequence of the crisis,\n                 Noting with concern that the international response to the Syrian and regional\n           crisis continues to fall short of meeting the needs as assessed by host governments\n           and the United Nations, therefore urging once again all Member States, based on\n           burden-sharing principles, to support the United Nations and the countries of the\n           region, including by adopting medium and long-term responses to alleviate the\n           impact on communities, providing increased, flexible and predictable funding as\n           well as increasing resettlement efforts, and taking note in this regard of the Berlin\n           Communiqué of 28 October 2014,\n                 Noting with grave concern that impunity in Syria contributes to widespread\n           violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian\n           law, stressing the need to end impunity for these violations and abuses, and\n           re-emphasizing in this regard the need that those who have committed or are\n           otherwise responsible for such violations and abuses in Syria must be brought to\n           justice,\n                 Emphasizing that the humanitarian situation will continue to deteriorate\n           further in the absence of a political solution to the crisis,\n                Determining that the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Syria continues to\n           constitute a threat to peace and security in the region,\n                 Underscoring that Member States are obligated under Article 25 of the Charter\n           of the United Nations to accept and carry out the Council’s decisions,\n                1.   Demands that all parties to the Syrian domestic conflict, in particular the\n           Syrian authorities, immediately comply with their obligations under international\n           humanitarian law and international human rights law, and fully and immediately\n\n\n\n14-67430                                                                                                     3/4\n\nS/RES/2191 (2014)\n\n\n               implement all the provisions of Security Council resolutions 2139 (2014) and 2165\n               (2014) and the Presidential Statement of 2 October 2013 (S/PRST/2013/15), and\n               recalls that some of the violations and abuses committed in Syria may amount to\n               war crimes and crimes against humanity;\n                    2.   Decides to renew the decisions in paragraphs two and three of Security\n               Council resolution 2165 (2014) for a period of twelve months, that is, until\n               10 January 2016;\n                    3.    Decides to conduct six months after the renewal of these decisions a\n               review of the implementation of paragraph two of this resolution;\n                     4.    Expresses its full support for the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General\n               for Syria, Mr. Staffan de Mistura, looks forward in particular to further advice from\n               the Special Envoy concerning his proposals aimed at reducing violence, including\n               through the implementation of freeze zones, emphasizes that if the violence in Syria\n               continues to escalate, the humanitarian situation will continue to worsen, and\n               reiterates that the only sustainable solution to the current crisis in Syria is through\n               an inclusive and Syrian-led political process that meets the legitimate aspirations of\n               the Syrian people, with a view to full implementation of the Geneva Communiqué\n               of 30 June 2012 endorsed as annex II of its resolution 2118 (2013);\n                    5.   Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Council on the\n               implementation of this resolution, and on compliance by all parties to the Syrian\n               domestic conflict, within the framework of its reporting on resolutions 2139 (2014)\n               and 2165 (2014);\n                    6.   Reaffirms that it will take further measures under the Charter of the\n               United Nations in the event of non-compliance with this resolution or resolution\n               2139 (2014) or 2165 (2014) by any party to the Syrian domestic conflict;\n                    7.

UNDOF\n               peacekeepers by the Al-Nusra Front, stressing that there can never be any\n               justification for these attacks on and detention of UN peacekeepers, and\n               emphasizing the need to hold those responsible accountable,\n                     Reaffirming its readiness to consider listing individuals, groups, undert akings,\n               and entities

supporting attacks against UN peacekeepers,\n                     Recognizing the necessity of efforts to flexibly adjust UNDOF’s posture on a\n               temporary basis to minimize the security

Calls upon the parties concerned to implement immediately its resolution\n               338 (1973) of 22 October 1973;\n                     2.   Stresses the obligation on both parties to scrupulously and fully respect\n               the terms of the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement, calls on the parties to\n               exercise maximum restraint and prevent any breaches of the ceasefire and the area\n               of separation, and underscores that there should be no military activity of any kind\n               in the area of separation, including military operations by the Syrian Arab Armed\n               Forces;\n                     3.

Calls on all parties to cooperate fully with the operations of UNDOF, to\n           respect its privileges and immunities and to ensure its freedom of movement, as well\n           as the security of and unhindered and immediate access for the United Nations\n           personnel carrying out their mandate, including the unimpeded delivery of UNDOF\n           equipment and the temporary use of alternative ports of entry and departure, as\n           required, to ensure safe and secure troop rotation and resupply activities, in\n           conformity with existing agreements, and urges prompt reporting by the Secretary-General to the Security Council and troop-contributing countries of any actions that\n           impede UNDOF’s ability to fulfil its mandate;\n                 6.   Welcomes the efforts being undertaken by the United Nations\n           Disengagement Observer Force to implement the Secretary-General’s zero-tolerance\n           policy on sexual exploitation and abuse and to ensure full compliance of its\n           personnel with the United Nations code of conduct, requests the Secretary -General\n           to continue to take all necessary action in this regard and to keep the Security\n           Council informed, and urges troop-contributing countries to take preventive and\n           disciplinary action to ensure that such acts are properly investigated and punished in\n           cases involving their personnel;\n                7.

in this regard, and further requests that this\n               information is included in the regular reporting of the Secretary-General on\n               MINUSCA,\n                    Welcoming the

2014,\n                    Strongly condemning the resurgence of violence, which was politically or\n               criminally motivated, that occurred in October 2014 in Bangui; the continuous cycle\n               of provocations and reprisals by armed groups, both inside and outside of Bangui;\n               the threats of violence, human rights violations and abuses and international\n               humanitarian law violations, including those involving extrajudicial killings,\n               enforced disappearances, arbitrary arrests and detention, torture, sexual violence\n               against women and children, rape, recruitment and use of children and attacks\n               against civilians, attacks against places of worship, and denial of humanitarian\n               access, committed by armed elements, which continue to adversely affect the dire\n               humanitarian situation faced by the civilian population and to impede humanitarian\n               access to vulnerable populations,\n                    Equally condemning the targeted attacks against the Transitional Authorities as\n               well as those against MINUSCA, Sangaris and EUFOR RCA troops during the\n               October events in Bangui, underlining that attacks targeting peacekeepers are\n               among the designation criteria in paragraph 10 of this resolution and may constitute\n               a war crime and reminding all parties of their obligations under international\n               humanitarian law,\n                     Reiterating that all perpetrators of such acts must be held accountable and that\n               some of those acts may amount to crimes under the Rome Statute of the\n               International Criminal Court (ICC), to which the CAR is a State party, noting in this\n               regard the opening by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on\n               24 September 2014 of an investigation following the request of the national\n               authorities on alleged crimes committed since 2012 and welcoming the ongoing\n               cooperation by the CAR Transitional Authorities in this regard,\n                    Expressing grave concern at the findings of the Panel of Experts’ final report\n               of 29 October 2014 (S/2014/762) that, armed groups continue to destabilize the\n               CAR and to pose a permanent threat to the peace, security and stability of the\n               country, and further expressing concern that illicit trade, exploitation and smuggling\n               of natural resources including gold, diamonds and wildlife poaching and trafficking\n               continues to threaten the peace and stability of CAR,\n                     Noting with concern the findings of the Panel of Experts’ final report that the\n               Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) remains active in the CAR and that it has\n               established links to other armed groups,\n\n\n\n2/9                                                                                                     15-00806\n\n

perpetrators of violations of international humanitarian law and of\n           abuses or violations of human rights, underlining in this regard the need to bolster\n           national accountability mechanisms and to implement without delay the 7 August\n           2014 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Urgent Temporary Measures, which\n           describes, in particular, the establishment of a national Special Criminal Court in\n           charge of investigating and prosecuting the serious crimes committed in the CAR,\n           including through the adoption of the necessary legislation by the Transitional\n           Authorities,\n                 Emphasizing the risk of the situation in the CAR providing a conducive\n           environment for transnational criminal activity, such as that involving arms\n           trafficking and the use of mercenaries as well as a potential breeding ground for\n           radical networks,\n                 Acknowledging in this respect the important contribution the Councilmandated arms embargo can make to countering the illicit transfer of arms and\n           related materiel in the CAR and its region, and in supporting post-conflict\n           peacebuilding, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration and security sector\n           reform, recalling its resolutions 2117 (2013) and 2127 (2013) and expressing grave\n           concern at the threat to peace and security in the CAR arising from the illicit\n           transfer, destabilizing accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons,\n           and the use of such weapons against civilians affected by armed conflict,\n                 Recalling the need for an inclusive and effective disarmament, demobilization\n           and reintegration process (DDR) as well as repatriation and resettlement (DDRRR)\n           in the case of foreign fighters, including children formerly associated with armed\n           forces and groups, while respecting the need to fight impunity,\n                 Recalling its decision to establish a sanctions regime pursuant to resolutions\n           2127 (2013) and 2134 (2014) and emphasizing that the targeted sanctions aim at,\n           inter alia, individuals and entities designated by the Committee established pursuant\n           to resolution 2127 (2013) and expanded pursuant to resolution 2134 (2014) as\n           engaging in or providing support for acts that undermine the peace, stability or\n           security of the CAR, that impede the political transition process or that fuel violence\n           and at individuals and entities designated by the Committee as involved in planning,\n           directing, or committing acts that violate international human rights law or\n           international humanitarian law or that constitute human rights abuses or violations,\n                Noting the critical importance of effective implementation of the sanctions\n           regime, including the key role that neighbouring States, as well as regional and\n           subregional organizations, can play in this regard and encouraging efforts to further\n           enhance cooperation,\n                 Determining that the situation in the CAR continues to constitute a threat to\n           international peace and security in the region,\n

associated with Al-Qaida, and emphasizing also the need for a comprehensive\n               approach to fully disrupt ISIL and ANF that integrates multilateral strategies with\n               national

Statement (15 September 2014), the FATF\n               statement on countering the financing of ISIL (24 October 2014) and the Manama\n               declaration on countering terrorist finance (9

and refrain from\n               providing any form of support, active or passive, to entities or persons involved in\n               terrorist acts, including by suppressing recruitment of members of terrorist groups\n               and eliminating the supply of weapons to terrorists,\n                    Recognizing the significant need to build capacities of Member States to\n               counter terrorism and terrorist finance,\n                      Reiterating its deep concern that oilfields and their related infrastructure, as\n               well as other infrastructure such as dams and power plants, controlled by ISIL, ANF\n               and potentially other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with\n               Al-Qaida, are generating a significant portion of the groups’ income, alongside\n               extortion, private foreign donations, kidnap ransoms and stolen money from the\n               territory they control, which support their recruitment efforts and strengthen their\n               operational capability to organize and carry out terrorist attacks,\n                    Condemning in the strongest terms abductions of women and children,\n               expressing outrage at their exploitation and abuse, including rape, sexual abuse,\n               forced marriage, committed by ISIL, ANF, and other individuals, gr oups,\n               undertakings and entities associated with Al-Qaida, and encouraging all state and\n               non-state actors with evidence to bring it to the attention of the Council, along with\n               any information that human trafficking may support the perpetrators financially,\n                     Reaffirming the obligation of Member States to freeze without delay funds and\n               other financial assets or economic resources of persons who commit, or attempt to\n               commit, terrorist acts or participate in or facilitate the commission of terrorist acts;\n               of entities owned or controlled directly or indirectly by such persons; and of persons\n               and entities acting on behalf of, or at the direction of such persons and entities,\n               including funds derived or generated from property owned or controlled directly or\n               indirectly by such persons and associated persons and entities,\n                     Expressing its concern that economic resources such as oil, oil products,\n               modular refineries and related material, other natural resources including precious\n               metals such as gold, silver, and copper, diamonds, and any other assets are made\n               available to ISIL, ANF, and other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities\n               associated with Al-Qaida, and noting that direct or indirect trade with ISIL and ANF\n               in such materials could constitute a violation of the obligations imposed by\n               resolution 2161 (2014),\n\n\n2/7                                                                                                       15-01924\n\n

participates in the financing, planning, preparation or perpetration of terrorist acts or\n           in supporting terrorist acts is brought to justice,\n                 Reaffirming its decision 2133 (2014) and noting again that ransom payments\n           to terrorist groups are one of the sources of income which supports their recruitment\n           efforts, strengthens their operational capability to organize and carry out terro rist\n           attacks, and incentivizes future incidents of kidnapping for ransom,\n                 Expressing concern at the increased use, in a globalized society, by terrorists\n           and their supporters, of new information and communications technologies, in\n           particular the Internet, to facilitate terrorist acts, as well as their use to incite,\n           recruit, fund or plan terrorist acts,\n                Expressing grave concern at the increased incidents of kidnapping and\n           hostage-murdering committed by ISIL, and condemning those heinous and cowardly\n           murders which demonstrate that terrorism is a scourge impacting all of humanity\n           and people from all regions and religions or belief,\n                Welcoming the report on ANF and ISIL from the Analytical Support and\n           Sanctions Monitoring Team, published on 14 November 2014, and taking note of its\n           recommendations,\n                 Noting with concern the continued threat posed to international peace and\n           security by ISIL, ANF and all other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities\n           associated with Al-Qaida, and reaffirming its resolve to address all aspects of that\n           threat,\n                Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n\n           Oil Trade\n                 1.   Condemns any engagement in direct or indirect trade, in particular of oil\n           and oil products, and modular refineries and related material, with ISIL, ANF and\n           any other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities designated as associated\n           with Al-Qaida by the Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989\n           (2011), and reiterates that such engagement would constitute support for such\n           individuals, groups, undertakings and entities and may lead to further listings by the\n           Committee;\n                2.    Reaffirms that States are required by resolution 2161 (2014) to ensure\n           that their nationals and those in their territory not make assets or economic\n           resources, directly or indirectly, available to ISIL, ANF and all other individuals,\n           groups, undertakings and entities associated with Al-Qaida, and notes that this\n           obligation applies to the direct and indirect trade in oil and refined oil products,\n           modular refineries and related material;\n                 3.    Reaffirms that States are required by resolution 2161 (2014) to freeze\n           without delay the funds and other financial assets or economic resources of ISIL,\n           ANF, and other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with\n           Al-Qaida, including funds derived from property owned or controlled directly or\n           indirectly, by them or by persons acting on their behalf or at their direction;\n                4.   Reaffirms that States are required by resolution 2161 (2014) to ensure\n           that no funds, other financial assets or economic resources are made available,\n\n\n\n15-01924                                                                                                        3/7\n\nS/RES/2199 (2015)\n\n\n               directly or indirectly, by their nationals or by persons within their territory for the\n               benefit of ISIL, ANF, and other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities\n               associated with Al-Qaida;\n                     5.    Recalls that funds and other financial assets or economic resources made\n               available to or for the benefit of listed individuals or entities are not always held\n               directly by them, and recalls in addition that in identifying such funds and benefi ts,\n               States should be alert to the possibility that property owned or controlled indirectly\n               by the listed party may not be immediately visible;\n                     6.    Confirms that economic resources include oil, oil products, modular\n               refineries and related material, other natural resources, and any other assets which\n               are not funds but which potentially may be used to obtain funds, goods or services;\n                     7.    Emphasizes therefore that States are required by UN Security Council\n               resolution 2161 (2014) to freeze without delay funds, other financial assets and\n               economic resources of ISIL, ANF, and other individuals, groups, undertakings and\n               entities associated with Al-Qaida, including oil, oil products, modular refineries and\n               related material and other natural resources owned or contro lled by them, or persons\n               acting on their behalf or at their direction, as well as any funds or negotiable benefit\n               arising from such economic resources;\n                     8.    Recognizes the need to take measures to prevent and suppress the\n               financing of terrorism, individual terrorists, and terrorist organizations, including\n               from the proceeds of organized crime, inter alia, the illicit production and\n               trafficking of drugs and their chemical precursors, and the importance of continued\n               international cooperation to that aim;\n                     9.   Emphasizes that States are required to ensure that their nationals and\n               persons in their territory not make available, directly or indirectly, any funds, other\n               financial assets or economic resources, including oil, oil products, modular\n               refineries and related material and other natural resources that are identified as\n               directed to, collected for, or otherwise for the benefit of ISIL, ANF, and other\n               individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with Al -Qaida, as well as\n               any funds or negotiable benefit arising from such economic resources;\n                     10. Expresses concern that vehicles, including aircraft, cars and trucks and\n               oil tankers, departing from or going to areas of Syria and Iraq where ISIL, ANF or\n               any other groups, undertakings and entities associated with Al-Qaida operate, could\n               be used to transfer oil and oil products, modular refineries and related material,\n               cash, and other valuable items including natural resources such as precious metals\n               and minerals like gold, silver, copper and diamonds, as well as grain, livestock,\n               machinery, electronics, and cigarettes by or on behalf of such entities for sale on\n               international markets, for barter for arms, or for use in other ways that would result\n               in violations of the asset freeze or arms embargo in paragraph 1 of resolution 2161\n               (2014) and encourages Member States to take appropriate steps in accordance with\n               international law to prevent and disrupt activity that would result in violations of the\n               asset freeze or targeted arms embargo in paragraph 1 of resolu tion 2161 (2014);\n                     11. Reaffirms that all States shall ensure that any person who participates in\n               the financing, planning, preparation or perpetration of terrorist acts or in supporting\n               terrorist acts is brought to justice and ensure that such terrorist a cts are established\n               as serious criminal offenses in domestic laws and regulations and that the\n               punishment duly reflects the seriousness of such terrorist acts, and emphasizes that\n\n\n4/7                                                                                                        15-01924\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2199 (2015)\n\n\n           such support may be provided through trade in oil and refined oil products, modular\n           refineries and related material with ISIL, ANF and all other individuals, groups,\n           undertakings and entities associated with Al-Qaida;\n                 12.

Requests the Panel of Experts to continue to investigate the financing and\n           role of armed, military, and political groups in attacks against UNAMID personnel\n           in Darfur;\n                 19.

need for effective human rights monitoring, including of any\n               sexual and gender-based violence and violations and abuses committed against\n               women and children, taking note that there have been no developments with regard\n               to the operationalization of human rights monitoring in the Abyei Area, and\n               reiterating its concern at the lack of cooperation by the parties with the Secretary -\n               General to this end,\n                     Recalling that its resolution 2086 (2013) reiterates the importance, when\n               establishing and renewing the mandates of United Nations Missions, to include\n               provisions on the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women in\n

including the “14 Mile Area”, and to fully implement the\n               Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism (JBVMM), in accordance with\n               Security Council resolution 2046 and the AUPSC Roadmap of 24 April 2012,\n               including as a result of South Sudan’s continued disagreement with the location of\n               the SDBZ centreline, the temporary unavailability of aircraft, the denial of security\n               clearances, and the tense security situation in the vicinity of Kadugli,\n                   Underlining the importance of fully establishing and maintaining effective\n               JBVMM monitoring of the SDBZ, including the “14 Mile Area”,\n                     Welcoming further regular meetings between President Bashir and

provocations,\n                 Commending the continued assistance provided to the parties by the AUHIP,\n           the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the Federal Democratic Republic\n           of Ethiopia, the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Sudan and South Sudan,\n           and the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA),\n                 Further commending the efforts of UNISFA in effectively carrying out its\n           mandate, including by its ongoing facilitation of peaceful migration throughout the\n           Abyei Area, conflict prevention, mediation and deterrence, expressing its deep\n           appreciation for the work of the troop-contributing countries, strongly condemning\n           the attacks on United Nations personnel, calling for investigations of these attacks\n           in a swift and thorough manner and to hold those responsible to account,\n                Underscoring concern for the fragility of the security situation in Abyei Area,\n           acknowledging UNISFA’s contribution to enhanced peace and stability since its\n           deployment, and expressing its determination to prevent the recurr ence of violence\n           against or displacements of civilians and to avert intercommunal conflict,\n                 Reiterating its deep concern regarding the public administration and rule of\n           law vacuum in the Abyei Area, due to continued delays in the establishment of the\n           Abyei Area Administration, Council and Police, including a special unit to deal with\n           particular issues related to nomadic migration, which are essential to maintain law\n           and order and prevent intercommunal conflict in Abyei,\n                 Noting with concern the continued delay in establishing the temporary\n           institutions and resolving the final status of Abyei and that the continued threat of\n           intercommunal violence contributes to heightened tensions in the Abyei Area,\n           including those ongoing tensions that prevent UNISFA’s and other agencies’\n           Sudanese staff from returning to Abyei,\n                 Urging all parties to refrain from any unilateral action that could aggravate\n           intercommunal relations within Abyei Area, expressing concern over the continued\n           implications of what the AUPSC described in their 6 November 2013 press\n           statement as “the decision by the Ngok Dinka to conduct a unilateral referendum”\n           and also in this context, taking note that according to the 2 February 2015\n           Secretary-General’s report (S/2015/77) the Government of Sudan is proceeding with\n           the preparations for the organization of its national elections in Abyei,\n                 Bearing in mind the current humanitarian situation in which humanitarian\n           actors continue to provide assistance to approximately 81,000 people in the Abyei\n           Area and the importance of coherence of United Nations assistance in the region,\n           and further stressing the urgency of facilitating the delivery of humanitarian\n           assistance to all affected populations,\n                 Affirming the importance of voluntary, safe, orderly return and sustainable\n           reintegration of displaced persons, and of peaceful and orderly migration cycles\n           respecting the traditional migratory routes from Sudan to South Sudan through\n           Abyei, and urging UNISFA to continue to take measures as necessary to ensure\n           security in the Abyei Area in accordance with its mandate,\n\n\n\n15-02940                                                                                                    3/7\n\nS/RES/2205 (2015)\n\n\n                     Recalling its resolution 2117 (2013), and expressing grave concern at the\n               threat to peace and security in Abyei arising from the illicit transfer, destabili zing\n               accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons,\n                    Expressing concern with the residual threat of landmines and explosive\n               remnants of war in the Abyei Area, which hinders the safe return of displaced\n               persons to their homes and safe migration,\n                    Taking note of the 2 February 2015 Secretary-General’s report (S/2015/77),\n               including its assessment that the political and security situation on the ground is\n               increasingly tense, and requires dialogue and cooperation to prevent it becoming\n               more contentious, divisive, and destabilizing in the coming months, and the\n               recommendations contained therein,\n                    Recognizing that the current situation in Abyei and along the border between\n               the Sudan and South Sudan continues to constitute a serious threat to international\n               peace and security,\n                     1.    Decides to extend until 15 July 2015 the mandate of the United Nations\n               Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) as set out in paragraph 2 of resolution\n               1990 (2011) and modified by resolution 2024 (2011) and paragraph 1 of resolution\n               2075 (2012), and acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n               further decides to extend until 15 July 2015 the tasks of UNISFA as set out in\n               paragraph 3 of resolution 1990, and determines that for the purposes of paragraph 1\n               of resolution 2024 (2011), support to the operational activities of the JBVMM shall\n               include support to the Ad Hoc Committees, as appropriate when so requested by\n               consensual decisions of these mechanisms, within UNISFA’s operational area and\n               existing capabilities;\n                     2.

government\n               institutions, including in the capital Sana’a, normalize the security situation in the\n               capital and other provinces, relinquish government and security institutions, and\n               safely release all individuals under house arrest or arbitrarily detained, and\n               reiterating its call on all non-State actors to withdraw from government institutions\n               across Yemen and to refrain from any attempts to take over such institutions,\n                     Deploring any attempt by the Houthis to take actions that are exclusively\n               within the authority of the legitimate Government of Yemen, and noting that such\n               actions are unacceptable,\n                     Expressing alarm that such actions taken by the Houthis undermine the\n               political transition process in Yemen, and jeopardize the security, stability,\n               sovereignty and unity of Yemen,\n                    Noting with concern the destabilizing actions taken by the former President of\n               Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh, including supporting the Houthis’ actions, which\n               continue to undermine the peace, security and stability of Yemen,\n                     Welcoming the intention of the Gulf Cooperation Council to convene a\n               conference in Riyadh, upon

Abdulmalik al-Houthi\n                Abdul Malik al Houthi is a leader of a group that has engaged in acts that\n                threaten the peace, security, or stability of Yemen.\n                In September 2014, Houthi forces captured Sanaa and in January 2015 they\n                attempted to unilaterally replace the legitimate government of Yemen with an\n                illegitimate governing authority that the Houthis dominated. Al-Houthi\n                assumed the leadership of Yemen’s Houthi movement in 2004 after the death\n                of his brother, Hussein Badredden al-Houthi. As leader of the group, al-Houthi\n                has repeatedly threatened Yemeni authorities with further unrest if they do not\n                respond to his demands and detained President Hadi, Prime Minister, and key\n                cabinet members. Hadi subsequently escaped to Aden. The Houthis then\n                launched another offensive towards Aden assisted by military units loyal to\n                former president Saleh and his son, Ahmed Ali Saleh.\n           2.   Ahmed Ali Abdullah Saleh\n                Ahmed Ali Saleh has engaged in acts that threaten the peace, security, and\n                stability of Yemen.\n                Ahmed Ali Saleh has been working to undermine President Hadi ’s authority,\n                thwart Hadi’s attempts to reform the military, and hinder Yemen’s peaceful\n                transition to democracy. Saleh played a key role in facilitating the Houthi\n                military expansion. As of mid-February 2013, Ahmed Ali Saleh had issued\n                thousands of new rifles to Republican Guard brigades and unidentified tribal\n                shaykhs. The weapons were originally procured in 2010 and reserved to\n                purchase the loyalties of the recipients for political gain at a later date.\n                After Saleh’s father, former Republic of Yemen President Ali Abdullah Saleh,\n                stepped down as President of Yemen in 2011, Ahmed Ali Saleh retained his\n                post as commander of Yemen’s Republican Guard. A little over a year later,\n                Saleh was dismissed by President Hadi but he retained significant influence\n                within the Yemeni military, even after he was removed from command.

destabilizing accumulation and misuse\n               of small arms and light weapons, including in support of other ongoing processes,\n                     1.   Welcomes efforts made by Member States, regional and subregional\n               organizations in addressing the illicit transfer, destabilizing accumulation and\n               misuse of small arms and light weapons, and encourages the establishment or\n               strengthening, where appropriate, of subregional and regional cooperation,\n               coordination and information sharing mechanisms, in particular, transborder\n               customs cooperation and networks for information-sharing, with a view to\n               preventing, combating, and eradicating illicit transfer, destabilizing accumulation\n               and misuse of small arms and light weapons;\n                    2.    Reiterates that the illicit transfer, destabilizing accumulation and misuse\n               of small arms and light weapons fuel conflict and have devastating impact on the\n               protection of civilians, reiterates its demand that all parties to armed conflict\n               comply strictly with the obligations applicable to them under international\n               humanitarian law, international human rights law and international refugee law, and\n\n\n\n\n4/9                                                                                                     15-08130\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2220 (2015)\n\n\n           stresses the need for parties to take all required measures to avoid civilian\n           casualties, respect and protect the civilian population;\n                3.    Reemphasizes its call on parties to armed conflict, in this regard, to\n           comply with obligations under international humanitarian law to respect and protect\n           humanitarian personnel, facilities and relief consignments, and to take measures to\n           eradicate the negative impact of the illicit transfer, destabilizing accumulation and\n           misuse of small arms and light weapons on humanitarian actors, and to take all\n           required steps to facilitate the safe, rapid and unimpeded passage of relief\n           consignments, equipment and personnel;\n                 4.     Expresses its intention to continue to take due regard of issues related to\n           the illicit transfer, destabilizing accumulation and misuse of small arms and light\n           weapons when considering or updating mandates of United Nations peacekeeping\n           operations and other Council-mandated entities, and in this regard encourages the\n           Secretary-General, where appropriate, to consider identifying capacities of United\n           Nations entities that could contribute to countering the illicit transfer, destabilizing\n           accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons at the earliest possible\n           stage, to consider involving these entities in strategic assessments and technical\n           assessment missions and to present options for United Nations engagement in this\n           regard, including through assisting host countries in weapons collection,\n           disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration programmes, enhancing physical\n           security and stockpile management practices, record keeping and tracing capacities,\n           development of national export and import control systems, enhancement of border\n           security, and strengthening judicial institutions and law enforcement capacity;\n                 5.   Emphasizes that Member States, United Nations peacekeeping operations\n           and other Council-mandated entities, where appropriate and mandated, and\n           intergovernmental, regional and subregional organizations, may be in a position to\n           assist in capacity-building of governments upon request to ensure the safe and\n           effective management, storage, security, marking, record -keeping and tracing of\n           stockpiles of small arms and light weapons, and collection and/or destruction of\n           surplus, seized, unmarked, or illicitly held weapons and ammunition and\n           encourages Member States and intergovernmental, regional and subregional\n           organizations in a position to do so to render assistance upon request in\n           implementing these tasks, including through examining tec hnologies that would\n           improve the tracing and detection of illicit transfer in small arms and light weapons,\n           as well as measures to facilitate the transfer of such technologies;\n                 6.    Encourages the United Nations to gather and share best practices of\n           Member States, related to safe storage, marking and destruction of weapons\n           collected as part of weapons collection and disarmament, demobilization and\n           reintegration programmes;\n                 7.    Recognizes that the effectiveness of weapons collection and\n           disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programmes depends inter alia on\n           providing sustainable opportunities to former combatants and on the ability of State\n           institutions to foster an inclusive environment in which people feel safe and secure;\n                 8.    Emphasizes the importance of security sector reform in improving the\n           ability of the State to extend public security and rule of law within its boundaries, to\n           train professional, effective and accountable security personnel and assisting States\n\n\n\n\n15-08130                                                                                                       5/9\n\nS/RES/2220 (2015)\n\n\n               to develop proper procedures for weapon stockpile management, physical security,\n               marking, record-keeping and tracing;\n                     9.   Reaffirms its responsibility to monitor the implementation of Councilmandated arms embargoes and reaffirms its intention to take appropriate measures,\n               when needed, to strengthen arms embargo monitoring mechanisms including inter\n               alia through assigning dedicated staff, monitoring units to relevant United Nations\n               Missions to effectively monitor arms embargoes;\n                     10. Recognizes the need for Member States to put in place, where they do not\n               exist, adequate laws, regulations and administrative procedures to exercise effective\n               control over the production of small arms and light weapons within their areas of\n               jurisdiction and over the export, import, transit or retransfer of such we apons, in\n               order to prevent illegal manufacture of and illicit trafficking in small arms and light\n               weapons, or their diversion to unauthorized recipients;\n                      11. Urges      Member      States,    relevant   United    Nations     entities,\n               intergovernmental, regional and subregional organizations, in a position to do so\n               and where appropriate, to cooperate and share information on suspected traffickers\n               and trafficking routes, suspect financial transactions and brokering activities for, or\n               diversions of, small arms or light weapons, and other information relevant to the\n               illicit transfer, destabilizing accumulation or misuse of small arms and light\n               weapons, with potentially affected States and with relevant United Nations entities,\n               including experts groups assisting sanctions committees and peacekeeping\n               operations;\n                     12. Urges Member States that have not yet done so to take measures,\n               pursuant to their national laws, to regulate brokering taking place under their\n               jurisdiction for small arms and light weapons, including measures that may re quire\n               brokers to register or obtain written authorization before engaging in brokering;\n                     13. Reiterates that Council-mandated arms embargoes should have clearly\n               established objectives and provisions for regular review of the measures with a view\n               to lifting them when the objectives are met, in accordance with the terms of the\n               applicable Council resolutions, acknowledges that when considering a partial or\n               complete termination, suspension or adjustment of an arms embargo the Council\n               should, where applicable, take into account the capacities by the Member State\n               subject to an arms embargo to, inter alia, apply physical security and stockpile\n               management practices, implement marking, record keeping and tracing, develop\n               national export and import control systems, enhance border security, and strengthen\n               judicial institutions and law enforcement capacity and welcomes the conduct of\n               assessment missions to evaluate progress by Member States subject to a Council -\n               mandated arms embargoes towards meeting the conditions set b y the Council for\n               their termination or adjustment and to provide options and recommendations\n               regarding United Nations and other technical assistance to these Member States or\n               their regions;\n                    14. Notes that where Sanctions Committees are mandated to determi ne if an\n               exemption to the arms embargo is justified, they could benefit from information on\n               the existing holdings including from the information on small arms and light\n               weapons voluntarily provided to the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms,\n               and self defence and security needs of arms and related materiel by the government,\n               quantities of arms and related materiel received on the basis of previously approved\n\n\n\n6/9                                                                                                      15-08130\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/2220 (2015)\n\n\n           exemptions, conditions of their storage, as well as quantities of arms and related\n           materiel destroyed through disarmament, demobilization and reintegration\n           programme, if applicable, and encourages Member States, Expert Groups and the\n           Secretary-General to provide such information, if available and upon request by the\n           relevant Sanctions Committee;\n                15. Encourages Sanctions Committees to maintain dialogue on\n           implementation of arms embargoes with Member States, in particular those in the\n           region, as well as international, regional and subregional organizations and other\n           stakeholders including by inviting them to meet with the Committee and holding by\n           the Chair of open briefings for all interested Member States;\n                 16. Encourages Member States to better understand the impact of the illicit\n           transfer, destabilizing accumulation and misuse of small arms and l ight weapons on\n           women and children, through, inter alia, strengthening the collection of data\n           disaggregated by sex and age and developing appropriate and effective nat ional risk\n           assessment criteria;\n                 17. Calls upon Member States, United Nations entities, intergovernmental,\n           regional and subregional organizations to take into consideration the specific impact\n           of conflict and post-conflict environments on women’s security, mobility, economic\n           activity and opportunities, to mitigate the risk of women from becomi ng active\n           players in the illicit transfer of small arms and light weapons;\n                 18. Urges Member States, United Nations entities, intergovernmental,\n           regional and subregional organizations, to take further measures to facilitate\n           women’s full and meaningful participation in all policymaking, planning and\n           implementation processes to combat and eradicate the illicit transfer, destabilizing\n           accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons in all its aspects, and in\n           that regard, encourages empowering women, including through capacity building\n           efforts, as appropriate, to participate in the design and implementation of efforts\n           related to the illicit transfer, destabilizing accumulation and misuse of small arms\n           and light weapons, and calls upon all those involved in the planning for\n           disarmament, demobilization and reintegration and justice and security sector\n           reform efforts to take into account the particular needs of women and children\n           associated with armed forces and armed groups, with the participation of women,\n           and to provide for their full access to these programmes inter alia, through\n           consultation with civil society, including women’s organizations, as appropriate;\n                19. Reaffirms its decision that States shall eliminate the supply of weapons,\n           including small arms and light weapons, to terrorists, as well as its calls for States to\n           find ways of intensifying and accelerating the exchange of operational information\n           regarding trafficking in arms, and to enhance coordination of efforts on national,\n           subregional, regional and international levels;\n                 20. Recognizes the importance of preventing the illicit transfers and sales of\n           weapons and ammunition, including small arms and light weapons, to armed groups\n           and criminal networks that target civilians and civilian objects and underlines that\n           such transfers could exacerbate conflict or facilitate the commitment of serious\n           violations of international humanitarian law and serious violations and abuses of\n           human rights;\n                21.

genocide, crimes against humanity and other serious violations of international\n               humanitarian law,\n                    Recalling that States Parties to the Geneva Conventions have an

that the fight against\n               impunity for the most serious crimes of international concern committed against\n               civilians has been strengthened through the work on and

1998 (2011) of 12 July 2011, 2068 (2012) of 19 September 2012,\n               2143 (2014) of 7 March 2014, and all relevant Statements of its President, which\n               contribute to a comprehensive framework for addressing the protection of children\n               affected by armed conflict,\n                    Reiterating its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international\n               peace and security and, in this connection, its commitment to address the\n               widespread impact of armed conflict on children,\n                     Acknowledging that its resolutions, their implementation and the Statements of\n               its President on children and armed conflict as well as the conclusions of the\n               Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict have generated\n               progress in preventing and responding to violations and abuses committed against\n               children, in particular in the demobilization, rehabilitation and reintegration of\n               thousands of children, the signing of action plans between parties to armed conflict\n               and the delisting of parties to conflict from the Annexes to the Secretary -General’s\n               annual report,\n                    Remaining however deeply concerned over the lack of progress on the ground\n               in some situations of concern, where parties to conflict continue to violate with\n               impunity the relevant provisions of applicable international law relating to the rights\n               and protection of children in armed conflict,\n                    Recalling that all parties to armed conflict must comply strictly with the\n               obligations applicable to them under international law for the protection of children\n               in armed conflict, including those contained in the Convention on the Rights of the\n               Child and its Optional Protocol on the involvement of Children in armed conflict, as\n               well as the Geneva Conventions of 12th August 1949 and the Additional Protocols\n               of 1977,\n                    Convinced that the protection of children in armed conflict should be an\n               important aspect of any comprehensive strategy to resolve conflict and build peace\n\n15-10051 (E)    180615\n*1510051*\n\nS/RES/2225 (2015)\n\n\n               and stressing also the importance of adopting a broad strategy of conflict\n               prevention, which addresses the root causes of armed conflict in a comprehe nsive\n               manner in order to enhance the protection of children on a long -term basis,\n                     Stressing the primary role of Governments in providing protection and relief to\n               all children affected by armed conflict and recognizing the importance of\n               strengthening national capacities in this regard,\n                    Reiterating that all action undertaken by United Nations entities within the\n               framework of the monitoring and reporting mechanism must be designed to support\n               and supplement, as appropriate, the protection and rehabilitation roles of national\n               Governments,\n                    Recognizing also the important roles that local leaders and civil society\n               networks can play in enhancing community-level protection and rehabilitation,\n               including non-stigmatization, for children affected by armed conflict,\n                     Recalling the responsibility of all Member States to comply with their\n               respective obligations to end impunity and to investigate and prosecute those\n               responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and other egregious\n               crimes perpetrated against children and noting that the fight against impunity for the\n               most serious crimes of international concern committed against children has been\n               strengthened through the work on and prosecution of these crimes by the\n               International Criminal Court, ad hoc and mixed tribunals and specialized chambers\n               in national tribunals,\n                     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 8 June 2015\n               (S/2015/409) and stressing that the present resolution does not seek to make any\n               legal determination as to whether situations which are referred to in the Secretary-General’s report are or are not armed conflicts within the context of the Geneva\n               Conventions and the Additional Protocols thereto, nor does it prejudge the legal\n               status of the non-State parties involved in these situations,\n                     Expressing grave concern over the abduction of children in situations of armed\n               conflict, the majority of which are perpetrated by non -State armed groups,\n               recognizing that abductions occur in a variety of settings, including schools, further\n               recognizing that abduction often precedes or follows other abuses and violations of\n               applicable international law against children, including those involving recruitment\n               and use, killing and maiming, as well as rape and other forms of sexual violence,\n               which may amount to war crimes or crimes against humanity, and calling on all\n               Member States to hold perpetrators of abductions accountable,\n                     Gravely concerned by the human rights abuses and violations of international\n               humanitarian law committed by non-state armed groups, in particular violent\n               extremist groups, including mass abductions, rape and other forms of sexual\n               violence such as sexual slavery, particularly targeting girls, which can cause\n               displacement and affect access to education and healthcare services, a nd\n               emphasizing the importance of accountability for such abuses and violations,\n                     Noting that Article 35 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child calls for\n               States Parties to take all appropriate national, bilateral and multilateral measures to\n               prevent the abduction of, the sale of or traffic in children for any purpose or in any\n               form,\n\n\n\n\n2/5                                                                                                      15-10051\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2225 (2015)\n\n\n                 Gravely concerned by the detrimental effects of the illicit transfer,\n           destabilizing accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons on children\n           in armed conflict, in particular due to recruitment and use of children by parties to\n           armed conflict, as well as their re-recruitment, killing and maiming, rape and other\n           sexual violence, abductions, attacks on schools and hospitals in violation of\n           international law,\n                 Stressing that the best interests of the child as well as the specific needs and\n           vulnerabilities of children should be considered when planning and carrying out\n           actions concerning children in situations of armed conflict,\n                 Recalling the obligations of all parties to armed conflict applicable to them\n           under international humanitarian law and human rights law, emphasizing that no\n           child should be deprived of his or her liberty unlawfully or arbitrarily and calling on\n           all Parties to conflict to cease unlawful or arbitrary detention as well as torture or\n           other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment imposed on children\n           during their detention,\n                 Recognizing the importance of providing timely and appropriate reintegration\n           and rehabilitation assistance to children affected by armed conflict, while ensuring\n           that the specific needs of girls as well as children with disabilities are addressed,\n           including access to health care, psychosocial support, and education programmes\n           that contribute to the well-being of children and to sustainable peace and security,\n                Calling on all parties to conflict to respect the civilian character of schools as\n           such in accordance with international humanitarian law,\n                 1.    Strongly condemns all violations of applicable international law\n           involving the recruitment and use of children by parties to armed conflict as well as\n           their re-recruitment, killing and maiming, rape and other forms of sexual violence,\n           abductions, attacks against schools and hospitals as well as denial of humanitarian\n           access by parties to armed conflict and all other violations of international law,\n           including international humanitarian law, human rights law and refugee law,\n           committed against children in situations of armed conflict and demands that all\n           relevant parties immediately put an end to such practices and take special measures\n           to protect children;\n                 2.   Reaffirms that the monitoring and reporting mechanism will continue to\n           be implemented in situations listed in annex I and annex II (“the annexes”) to the\n           reports of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict, in line with the\n           principles set out in paragraph 2 of its resolution 1612 (2005), and that its\n           establishment and implementation shall not prejudge or imply a decision by the\n           Security Council as to whether or not to include a situation on its agenda;\n                3.    Recalls paragraph 16 of its resolution 1379 (2001) and requests the\n           Secretary-General also to include in the annexes to his reports on children and\n           armed conflict those parties to armed conflict that engage, in contravention of\n           applicable international law, in patterns of abduction of children in situa tions of\n           armed conflict, bearing in mind all other violations and abuses against children, and\n           notes that the present paragraph will apply to situations in accordance with the\n           conditions set out in paragraph 16 of its resolution 1379 (2001);\n                 4.   Calls upon those parties listed in the annexes of the Secretary-General’s\n           report on children and armed conflict that commit violations and abuses against\n           children in contravention of applicable international law, including abductions of\n\n\n\n15-10051                                                                                                      3/5\n\nS/RES/2225 (2015)\n\n\n               children in situations of armed conflict, to prepare and adopt without delay, concrete\n               time-bound action plans to halt those violations and abuses in collaboration with the\n               United Nations;\n                     5.    Urges for the immediate, safe and unconditional release of abducted\n               children by all Parties to conflict and encourages Member States, United Nations\n               entities, and regional and sub-regional organizations to undertake relevant efforts to\n               obtain the safe release of abducted children, including through establishing standard\n               operating procedures on the handover of children to relevant civilian child\n               protection actors, as well as to seek to ensure their family reunification,\n               rehabilitation and reintegration;\n                     6.    Encourages Member States to consider non-judicial measures as\n               alternatives to prosecution and detention that focus on the rehabilitation and\n               reintegration for children formerly associated with armed forces and armed groups\n               taking into account that deprivation of liberty of children should be used only as a\n               measure of last resort and for the shortest appropriate period of time, as well as to\n               avoid wherever possible the use of pretrial detention for children;\n                    7.    Expresses deep concern that the military use of schools in contravention\n               of applicable international law may render schools legitimate targets of attack, thus\n               endangering the safety of children and in this regard encourages Member States to\n               take concrete measures to deter such use of schools by armed forces and armed\n               groups;\n                     8.    Stresses the importance of regular and timely consideration of violations\n               and abuses committed against children in armed conflict, in this regard welcomes\n               the sustained activity of its Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict and\n               invites the Working Group to make full use of tools within its mandate to promote\n               the protection of children affected by armed conflict, including through increasing\n               engagement with concerned Member States, in light of ongoing discussions on\n               enhancing compliance;\n                    9.    Continues to urge Member States, United Nations entities, regional and\n               sub-regional organizations and other parties concerned to ensure that child protection\n               provisions, including those relating to the release and reintegration of children\n               formerly associated with armed forces or armed groups, are integrated into all peace\n               negotiations, ceasefire and peace agreements, and in provisions for ceasefire\n               monitoring;\n                    10. Welcomes the progress made under the “Children, Not Soldiers”\n               campaign towards ending and preventing the recruitment and use of children by\n               Government armed forces in conflict by 2016, further urges concerned Governments\n               to continue to undertake all efforts in order to ensure that no children are in their\n               ranks in conflict, and calls on Member States, all relevant United Nations entities,\n               NGOs and the donor community to support the campaign in their various capacities;\n                     11. Invites the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children\n               and Armed Conflict to update the Security Council on the campaign “Children, Not\n               Soldiers” as well as on the progress made in the signing and implementation of\n               action plans or commitments by non-State armed groups, including about the\n               process and progress in delisting concerned parties;\n                     12. Urges all parties concerned, including Member States, United Nations\n               entities, as well as financial institutions to support, as appropriate, bearing in mind\n\n\n\n4/5                                                                                                      15-10051\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2225 (2015)\n\n\n           national ownership, the development and strengthening of the capacities of national\n           institutions and local civil society networks for advocacy, protection and\n           rehabilitation of children affected by armed conflict as well as national accountability\n           mechanisms with timely, sustained and adequate resources and funding;\n                 13. Urges concerned Member States, when undertaking security sector\n           reforms, to mainstream child protection, such as the inclusion of child protection in\n           military training and standard operating procedures, including on the handover of\n           children to relevant civilian child protection actors, the establishment of child\n           protection units in national security forces, and the strengthening of effective age\n           assessment mechanisms to prevent underage recruitment, while stressing in the\n           latter regard the importance of ensuring universal birth registration, including late\n           birth registration which should remain an exception;\n                 14. Emphasizes the responsibility of all States to put an end to impunity and\n           to investigate and prosecute those responsible for genocide, crimes against\n           humanity, war crimes and other egregious crimes perpetrated against children and\n           highlights in this regard the contribution of the International Criminal Court, in\n           accordance with the principle of complementarity to national criminal jurisdictions\n           as set out in the Rome Statute;\n                 15. Recognizes the role of United Nations peacekeeping operations and\n           political missions in the protection of children, particularly the crucial role of child\n           protection advisers in mainstreaming child protection and leading monitoring,\n           prevention and reporting efforts in missions, and in this regard reiterates its decision\n           to continue the inclusion of specific provisions for the protection of children in the\n           mandates of all relevant United Nations peacekeeping operations and political\n           missions, encourages deployment of child protection advisers to such missions, and\n           calls upon the Secretary-General to ensure that the need for and the number and\n           roles of such advisers are systematically assessed during the preparation and\n           renewal of each United Nations peacekeeping operation and political mission;\n                 16. Calls for the continued implementation by United Nations peacekeeping\n           operations of the Secretary-General’s zero-tolerance policy on sexual exploitation\n           and abuse and to ensure full compliance of their personnel with the United Nations\n           code of conduct, reiterates its request to the Secretar y-General to continue to take\n           all necessary action in this regard and to keep the Security Council informed, and\n           urges troop-contributing countries to continue taking appropriate preventive action,\n           such as mandatory pre-deployment child protection training including on sexual\n           exploitation and abuse, and to ensure full accountability in cases of such conduct\n           involving their personnel;\n                 17. Further urges all United Nations entities, including peacekeeping\n           missions, political missions, peacebuilding offices, United Nations offices,\n           agencies, funds and programmes to give full attention to violations against children\n           in the application of the Human Rights Due Diligence Policy on United Nations\n           Support to non-United Nations Security Forces;\n                 18. Reiterates its requests to the Secretary-General to continue to submit\n           comprehensive annual reports to the Council on the implementation of its\n           resolutions and Presidential statements on children and armed conflict and to ensure\n           that in all his reports on country-specific situations the matter of children and armed\n           conflict is included as specific aspect of the report;\n                19.   Decides to remain actively seized of this matter.\n\n\n15-10051                                                                                                       5/5\n", "text_length": 20448, "title": "Security Council resolution 2225 (2015) [on children and armed conflict]", "agenda_information": "S/70 [187] CHILDREN IN ARMED CONFLICTS", "subjects": "UN.

           to civilians posed by unexploded ordnance,\n                     Expressing deep concern at the significant increase in population\n               displacements in 2014 and so far in 2015 and the consequent increase in\n               humanitarian assistance and protection needs, with 430,000 newly displaced in\n               2014, around 300,000 of whom have been unable to return to

     unimpeded access of humanitarian assistance to the population in need and the\n               protection of humanitarian workers and their operations in areas under their control,\n               as well as to guarantee UNAMID unimpeded freedom of movement in all areas and\n               at all times in Darfur in the exercise of its mandate, and further recal ling the role of\n               the Implementation Follow-up Commission (IFC) in assessing the implementation\n               of the DDPD,\n                   Expressing concern that the continued denial of access and restrictions\n               imposed on humanitarian actors have left significant gaps in the delivery o f\n               humanitarian assistance, calling on the Government of Sudan to ensure\n               humanitarian actors can operate in support of addressing basic needs,\n                   Calling on donors, the Darfur Regional Authority and the Government of\n               Sudan to provide the financial resources necessary to reach those in need,\n                     Reiterating that there can be no military solution to the conflict in Darfur, and\n               that an inclusive political settlement is essential to re -establishing peace, and\n               underscoring the importance of fully addressing the root causes of the conflict in the\n               search for a sustainable peace, which should rapidly deliver real benefits for the\n               Darfuri people, in this regard reiterating its support for the DDPD as a viable\n               framework for the peace process in Darfur, and for its accelera ted implementation,\n               as well as the AU High-Level Implementation Panel (AU-HIP) mediated peace\n               talks, and any credible moves to lay the groundwork for an inclusive,\n               comprehensive and nationally-owned National Dialogue in Sudan,\n                    Deploring the fact that some armed groups are impeding the peace process and\n               have continued to resort to violence, reiterating its demand for the release of\n               members of the former movement of Mohamed Bashar, taken captive in May 2013\n\n\n\n2/12                                                                                                       15-10800\n\n

                Noting that UNAMID’s ability to facilitate progress in implementation of the\n           DDPD is hampered by delays and the absence of an inclusive political settlement\n           between the government and non-signatory movements, urging the signatory parties\n           to take the necessary remaining steps to implement the DDPD fully, expressing\n           concern that the humanitarian and security situation, as well as the lack of capacity\n           of the Darfur Regional Authority, hinder the transition from relief to stabilization\n           and development activities, urging donors and the Government of Sudan to honour\n           their pledges and fulfil their obligations in a timely manner, including those\n           commitments made at the conference in Doha in April 2013, and affirming that\n           development can support a lasting peace in Darfur,\n                 Noting that local dispute resolution mechanisms play an important role in\n           preventing and resolving inter-communal conflict, including conflict over natural\n           resources, urging an intensification of effective efforts to prevent local disputes\n           leading to violence, with its corresponding impact on the local civilian populations,\n           acknowledging the efforts of Sudanese authorities and local mediators to mediate in\n           inter-tribal fighting, with support from UNAMID and the UN Country Team\n           (UNCT), and urging their continued work,\n                  Welcoming regional and other initiatives, undertaken in close interaction with\n           the Government of Sudan, to address the root causes of the conflict in Darfur and t o\n           promote a sustainable peace, including the convening by the President of Chad,\n           Idriss Deby Itno, of two mediation fora, encouraging the full coordination of such\n           initiatives with the efforts of the Joint Special Representative (JSR), and\n           commending the efforts of the JSR to secure peace, stability and security in Darfur,\n           including through support to international, regional and national efforts to revitalise\n           the peace process and increase its inclusiveness,\n                 Underlining, without prejudice to the Security Council’s primary\n           responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, the\n           importance of the partnership between the United Nations and the African Union\n           (AU), consistent with Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations, with regard\n           to the maintenance of peace and security in Africa, particularly in Sudan,\n                 Calling on all parties to comply with their obligations under international\n           human rights law and international humanitarian law, stressing the importance that\n           the Council attaches to ending impunity including through ensuring accountability\n           and bringing to justice the perpetrators of crimes committed by all parties in Darfur,\n           urging the Government of Sudan to comply with its obligations in this respect,\n           welcoming the ongoing investigations by the Special Prosecutor for Darfur\n           appointed by the Government of Sudan and stressing the need for further progress in\n           this regard, reiterating the call for swift progress on the draft Memorandum of\n           Understanding providing for UNAMID and African Union observation of the\n           proceedings of the Special Court, and calling on the Government of Sudan swiftly\n           to investigate attacks against UNAMID, and to bring the perpetrators to justice,\n                Reaffirming its concern over the negative effect of ongoing violence in Darfur\n           on the stability of Sudan as a whole as well as the region, welcoming the ongoing\n           good relations between Sudan and Chad, including on border control, and\n\n\n\n\n15-10800                                                                                                     3/12\n\nS/RES/2228 (2015)\n\n\n

Commending the efforts of UNAMID towards promoting peace and stability in\n               Darfur, and reiterating its full support for UNAMID,\n                   Welcoming the report of the

              conclusions contained in the review and the continued implementation of measures\n               to address this issue,\n                    Determining that the situation in Sudan constitutes a threat to international\n               peace and security,\n                    1.    Decides to extend the mandate of UNAMID, as set out in resolution\n               1769, until 30 June 2016, and further decides that UNAMID shall consist of up to\n               15,845 military personnel, 1,583 police personnel and 13 formed police units of up\n               to 140 personnel each;\n                     2.

Notes that certain elements of UNAMID’s mandate and tasks, as\n               authorized in resolution 1769 (2007), which decided that the mandate of UNAMID\n               shall be as set out in paragraphs 54 and 55 of the report of the Secretary -General and\n               the Chairperson of the African Union Commission of 5 June 2007\n               (S/2007/307/Rev.1), are no longer relevant, or are either being undertaken by or will\n               soon transition to other entities with comparative advantage, namely those enumerated\n               in paragraphs 54 (g) and (h), 55 (a) (v), 55 (b) (ii-iii), 55 (b) (v) , 55 (b) (x) and 55 (c)\n               (iii-iv) of that report;\n                     4.

any\n               sexual and gender-based violence and violations and abuses committed against\n               women and children, taking note that there have been no developments with regard to\n               the operationalization of human rights monitoring in the Abyei Area, and reiterating\n               its concern at the lack of cooperation by the parties with the Secretary-General to\n               this end,\n                     Recalling that its resolution 2086 (2013) reiterates the impor tance, when\n               establishing and renewing the mandates of United Nations Missions, of including\n               provisions on the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women in\n               post-conflict situations and on children and armed conflict, and emphasizing that\n               persistent barriers to full implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) will only be\n               dismantled through dedicated commitment to women’s empowerment, participation,\n               and human rights, and through concerted leadership, consistent information and\n               action, and support, to build women’s engagement in all levels of decision-making,\n                     Noting with concern the minimum attention the parties have given to the\n               management of the Abyei Area as well as the stalled efforts by the Government of\n               Sudan and the Government of South Sudan to delineate or agree on the coordinates\n               of, and demilitarize the Safe Demilitarized Border Zone (SDBZ), including the\n               “14 Mile Area”, and to fully implement the Joint Border Verification and\n               Monitoring Mechanism (JBVMM), in accordance with Security Council resolution\n               2046 (2012) and the AUPSC Roadmap of 24 April 2012, including as a result of the\n               temporary unavailability of aircraft, South Sudan’s continued disagreement with the\n               location of the SDBZ centreline and the denial of flight clearance s,\n                   Underlining the importance of fully establishing and maintaining effective\n               JBVMM monitoring of the SDBZ, including the “14 Mile Area”,\n                    Recognizing the importance of regular meetings between President Bashir and\n               President Salva Kiir for continuing dialogue, recalling the United Nations Security\n               Council decision in resolution 2046 (2012) that the parties must resume\n               immediately negotiations to reach agreement on Abyei final status under the\n               auspices of the AUHIP, calling upon all parties to engage constructively in the\n\n\n\n2/8

towards final agreement on the final status of the\n           Abyei Area, and stressing that the parties must immediately implement pending\n           aspects of the 20 June 2011 Agreement, in particular to resolve the dispute over the\n           Abyei Area Agreement, and to resolve the dispute over the Abyei Area Council, and\n           immediately establish the Abyei Area Administration and Abyei Police Service,\n                Stressing that both countries and communities will have much to gain if they\n           show restraint and choose the path of dialogue instead of resorting to violence or\n           provocations,\n                 Commending the continued assistance provided to the parties by the AUHIP,\n           the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the Federal Democratic Republic\n           of Ethiopia, the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Sudan and South Sudan,\n           and the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA),\n                 Further commending the efforts of UNISFA in effectively carrying out its\n           mandate, including by its ongoing facilitation o f peaceful migration throughout the\n           Abyei Area, conflict prevention, mediation and deterrence, expressing its deep\n           appreciation for the work of the troop-contributing countries, strongly condemning\n           the attacks on United Nations personnel, and calling for investigations of these\n           attacks in a swift and thorough manner and to hold those responsible to account,\n                Underscoring concern for the fragility of the security situation in the Abyei\n           Area, acknowledging UNISFA’s contribution to enhanced peace and stability since\n           its deployment, and expressing its determination to prevent the recurrence of\n           violence against or displacements of civilians and to avert intercommunal conflict,\n                 Reiterating its deep concern regarding the public administration and rule of\n           law vacuum in the Abyei Area, due to continued delays in the establishment of the\n           Abyei Area Administration, Council and Police, including a special unit to deal with\n           particular issues related to nomadic migration, which are essential to maintain law\n           and order and prevent intercommunal conflict in Abyei, and in this regard,\n           welcoming UNISFA’s efforts to support and strengthen community protection\n           committees,\n                 Noting with concern the continued delay in establishing the temporary\n           institutions and resolving the final status of Abyei and that the continued threat of\n           intercommunal violence contributes to heightened tensions in the Abyei Area,\n           including those ongoing tensions that prevent UNISFA’s and other agencies’\n           Sudanese staff from returning to Abyei,\n                 Urging all parties to refrain from any unilateral action that could aggravate\n           intercommunal relations within the Abyei Area, expressing concern over the\n           continued implications of what the AUPSC described in their 6 November 2013\n           press statement as “the decision by the Ngok Dinka to conduct a unilateral\n           referendum” and also in this context, taking note that the Government of Sudan\n           proceeded with its April 2015 national elections in Abyei,\n                 Bearing in mind the current humanitarian situation in which humanitarian\n           actors continue to provide assistance to approximately 81,000 people in the Abyei\n           Area and the importance of coherence of United Nations assistance in the region,\n           and further stressing the urgency of facilitating the delivery of humanitarian\n           assistance to all affected populations,\n\n\n\n\n15-11931                                                                                                    3/8\n\nS/RES/2230 (2015)\n\n\n                     Affirming the importance of voluntary, safe, dignified return and sustainable\n               reintegration of displaced persons, and of peaceful and orderly migration cycles\n               respecting the traditional migratory routes from Sudan to South Sudan through\n               Abyei, and urging UNISFA to continue to take measures as necessary to ensure\n               security in the Abyei Area in accordance with its mandate,\n                     Recalling its resolution 2117 (2013), and expressing grave concern at t he\n               threat to peace and security in Abyei arising from the illicit transfer, destabilizing\n               accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons, and in this regard,\n               welcoming UNISFA’s progress on improving infrastructure and systems for weapons\n               confiscation, storage and destruction,\n                    Expressing concern about the residual threat of landmines and explosive\n               remnants of war in the Abyei Area, which hinders the safe return of displaced\n               persons to their homes and safe migration,\n                     Taking note of the 29 April 2015 and 16 June 2015 Secretary-General’s\n               Reports (S/2015/302 and S/2015/439), including the assessment that the political\n               and security situation on the ground is relatively calm but unpredictable, and\n               requires dialogue and cooperation to prevent it becoming more contentious,\n               divisive, and destabilizing in the coming months, and the recommendations\n               contained therein,\n                    Recognizing that the current situation in Abyei and along the border between\n               the Sudan and South Sudan continues to constitute a serious threat to international\n               peace and security,\n                     1.    Decides to extend until 15 December 2015 the mandate of the United\n               Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) as set out in paragraph 2 of\n               resolution 1990 (2011) and modified by resolution 2024 (2011) and paragraph 1 of\n               resolution 2075 (2012), and acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the Unite d\n               Nations, further decides to extend until 15 December 2015 the tasks of UNISFA as\n               set out in paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011), and determines that for the\n               purposes of paragraph 1 of resolution 2024 (2011), support to the operational\n               activities of the JBVMM shall include support to the Ad Hoc Committees, as\n               appropriate when so requested by consensual decisions of these mechanisms, within\n               UNISFA’s operational area and existing capabilities;\n                    2.    Takes note of the recommendations in the 16 June 2015 Secretary-General’s report, and welcomes the UNISFA initiatives to support community\n               dialogue and administration by the communities under Abyei Joint Oversight\n               Committee (AJOC) supervision; in this regard, calls upon the communities and the\n               Governments of Sudan and South Sudan to take concrete steps towards those goals;\n               and further welcomes the current and future support in these efforts from the United\n               Nations, African Union and Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of\n               Ethiopia;\n                     3.    Underscores that continued cooperation between the Government of\n               Sudan and the Government of South Sudan is also critical for peace, security and\n               stability and the future relations between them;\n                    4.   Welcomes the resumption of the work of the AJOC by Sudan and South\n               Sudan in March 2015, and urges the resumption of regular meetings to ensure\n               steady progress on the implementation of the 20 June 2011 Agreement, including\n\n\n\n4/8                                                                                                     15-11931\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2230 (2015)\n\n\n           the implementation of the AJOC decisions, welcomes African Union initiatives to\n           support this goal and encourages its continued engagement, and requests the\n           Secretary-General to provide an assessment of progress on these issues in his\n           regular reports;\n                5.    Further reiterates its demand that Sudan and South Sudan urgently\n           commence the establishment of the Abyei Area Administration and Council,\n           including by resolving the deadlock over the composition of the Council, and\n           constitute the Abyei Police Service, to enable it to take over policing functions\n           throughout the Abyei Area, including the protection of oil infrastr ucture, in\n           accordance with their commitments in the 20 June 2011 Agreement;\n                 6.    Decides to maintain the troops authorized by resolution 2104 (2013)\n           already deployed, and that the remaining authorized forces continue to be deployed\n           consistent with the evolution of the JBVMM, to enable UNISFA to provide required\n           force protection to the JBVMM and to enable UNISFA to fully support the JBVMM\n           to conduct extended operations into the SDBZ as soon as possible, and requests the\n           Secretary-General to keep the Council fully updated on the status of deployment as\n           part of his regular reporting cycle;\n                 7.   Takes notes of the establishment of JBVMM initial operating capability,\n           expresses renewed concern regarding the stalled efforts to fully operationalize\n           JBVMM, welcomes the Secretary-General’s May 2015 technical assessment of\n           JBVMM, takes note of the Secretary-General’s recommendations that continued\n           investment in achieving full operational capability of JBVMM should be based on a\n           set of conditions, including resolution of the dispute over SDBZ, resumption of border\n           demarcation discussions, occurrence of regular meetings of the JPSM, and granting of\n           full freedom of movement, and expresses its intention to consider the Secretary-General’s final recommendations regarding JBVMM operations to be presented in his\n           next report;\n                 8.  Calls upon the Government of Sudan and the Government of South\n           Sudan to make timely and effective use of the JBVMM, JPSM, and other agreed\n           joint mechanisms to ensure the security and transparency of the SDBZ, including\n           the “14 Mile Area”;\n                 9.    Urges renewed efforts to determine conclusively the SDBZ centreline on\n           the ground, and reiterates that the centreline of the SDBZ in no way prejudices the\n           current or future legal status of the border, ongoing ne gotiations on the disputed and\n           claimed areas, and demarcation of the borders;\n                10. Underscores that UNISFA’s protection of civilians mandate as set out in\n           paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011) includes taking the necessary actions to\n           protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence, irrespective of the\n           source of such violence;\n                 11. Condemns the intermittent presence of South Sudan security service\n           personnel and the deployment of Diffra Oil Police units in the Abyei Area, as well\n           as the repeated entry of armed militias into the territory, and reiterates its demands\n           that immediately and without preconditions the Government of South Sudan full\n           redeploy its security service personnel from the Abyei Area and that the\n           Government of Sudan redeploy the Oil Police in Diffra from the Abyei Area, and\n           further reiterates, in accordance with relevant resolutions, in particular resolution\n           1990 (2011) and resolution 2046 (2012), that the Abyei Area shall be demilitarized\n\n\n15-11931                                                                                                      5/8\n\nS/RES/2230 (2015)\n\n\n               from any forces, as well as armed elements of the local communities, other than\n               UNISFA and the Abyei Police Service;\n                    12. Supports the AJOC’s 3 May 2013 and 30 March 2015 decisions on\n               Abyei’s status as a weapons-free area, underscores the AUPSC’s concern in its\n               7 May 2013 Communiqué over reports that various communities living in Abyei are\n               heavily armed, recalls that the 20 June 2011 Agreement on Temporary\n               Arrangements for the Administration and Security of the Abyei Area stipulates that\n               Abyei should be a weapons-free area and that only UNISFA is authorized to carry\n               weapons inside the area, and in this regard, urges the two Governments to take all\n               necessary steps to ensure that Abyei is effectively demilitarized, including through\n               disarmament programs as necessary;\n                     13. Reaffirms that UNISFA may undertake weapons confiscation and\n               destruction in the Abyei Area as authorized under resolution 1990 (2011), consistent\n               with its mandate and within its existing capabilities, in coordination with the\n               signatories of the June 2011 Agreement on the Temporar y Arrangements for the\n               Administration and Security of the Abyei Area, the AJOC, and the Misseriya and\n               Ngok Dinka communities and consistent with the previous AJOC decision to establish\n               the Area as a “weapons free area”, and reiterates its request that UNISFA, observe,\n               document and report on the movement of weapons into Abyei and the presence,\n               destruction and confiscation of weapons within Abyei as part of the Secretary -\n               General’s regular reporting cycle;\n                     14. Requests UNISFA to continue its dialogue with AJOC and with the\n               Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities on effective strategies and oversight\n               mechanisms for ensuring full compliance by all relevant parties with Abyei ’s status\n               as a weapons-free area, with a particular priority placed on the urgent eliminatio n of\n               heavy or crew-served weapons, as well as rocket-propelled grenades, and calls upon\n               the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan, the AJOC, and the Misseriya and Ngok\n               Dinka communities to extend full cooperation to UNISFA in this regard;\n                    15. Urges the two Governments immediately to take steps to implement\n               confidence-building measures among the respective communities in the Abyei Area,\n               including through reconciliation processes at the grass-roots level and supporting\n               UNISFA in promoting community dialogue, urges the planned convening of a\n               meeting between the Ngok Dinka and Misseriya traditional leaders, and strongly\n               urges all Abyei communities to exercise maximum restraint in all their engagements\n               and to desist from inflammatory acts or statements that may lead to violent clashes,\n               or any further unilateral activities;\n                     16. Requests UNISFA, within its existing capabilities and resources and in\n               close coordination with the Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities, to intensify\n               efforts to strengthen the capacities of Community Protection Committees in order to\n               assist with management of law and order processes in Abyei;\n                    17.

They anticipate that full\n               implementation of this JCPOA will positively contribute to regional and\n               international peace and security. Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran\n               ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons.\n               Iran envisions that this JCPOA will allow it to move forward with an exclu sively\n               peaceful, indigenous nuclear programme, in line with scientific and economic\n               considerations, in accordance with the JCPOA, and with a view to building\n               confidence and encouraging international cooperation. In this context, the initial\n               mutually determined limitations described in this JCPOA will be followed by a\n               gradual evolution, at a reasonable pace, of Iran’s peaceful nuclear programme,\n               including its enrichment activities, to a commercial programme for exclusively\n               peaceful purposes, consistent with international non-proliferation norms.\n               The E3/EU+3 envision that the implementation of this JCPOA will progressively\n               allow them to gain confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran’s\n               programme. The JCPOA reflects mutually determined parameters, co nsistent with\n               practical needs, with agreed limits on the scope of Iran’s nuclear programme,\n               including enrichment activities and R&D. The JCPOA addresses the E3/EU+3’s\n               concerns, including through comprehensive measures providing for transparency\n               and verification.\n               The JCPOA will produce the comprehensive lifting of all UN Security Council\n               sanctions as well as multilateral and national sanctions related to Iran’s nuclear\n               programme, including steps on access in areas of trade, technology, finance, and\n               energy.\n\n\n\n\n8/104                                                                                                   15-12243\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n           PREAMBLE AND GENERAL PROVISIONS\n           i.     The Islamic Republic of Iran and the E3/EU+3 (China, France, Germany, the\n                  Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States, with the High\n                  Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Secur ity Policy)\n                  have decided upon this long-term Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action\n                  (JCPOA). This JCPOA, reflecting a step-by-step approach, includes the\n                  reciprocal commitments as laid down in this document and the annexes hereto\n                  and is to be endorsed by the United Nations (UN) Security Council.\n           ii.    The full implementation of this JCPOA will ensure the exclusively peaceful\n                  nature of Iran’s nuclear programme.\n           iii.   Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or\n                  acquire any nuclear weapons.\n           iv.    Successful implementation of this JCPOA will enable Iran to fully enjoy its\n                  right to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes under the relevant articles of the\n                  nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in line with its obligations therein, and\n                  the Iranian nuclear programme will be treated in the same manner as that of\n                  any other non-nuclear-weapon state party to the NPT.\n           v.     This JCPOA will produce the comprehensive lifting of all UN Security\n                  Council sanctions as well as multilateral and national sanction s related to\n                  Iran’s nuclear programme, including steps on access in areas of trade,\n                  technology, finance and energy.\n           vi.    The E3/EU+3 and Iran reaffirm their commitment to the purposes and\n                  principles of the United Nations as set out in the UN Charter.\n           vii. The E3/EU+3 and Iran acknowledge that the NPT remains the cornerstone of\n                the nuclear non-proliferation regime and the essential foundation for the\n                pursuit of nuclear disarmament and for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.\n           viii. The E3/EU+3 and Iran commit to implement this JCPOA in good faith and in a\n                 constructive atmosphere, based on mutual respect, and to refrain from any\n                 action inconsistent with the letter, spirit and intent of this JCPOA that would\n                 undermine its successful implementation. The E3/EU+3 will refrain from\n                 imposing discriminatory regulatory and procedural requirements in lieu of the\n                 sanctions and restrictive measures covered by this JCPOA. This JCPOA builds\n                 on the implementation of the Joint Plan of Action (JPOA) agreed in Geneva on\n                 24 November 2013.\n           ix.    A Joint Commission consisting of the E3/EU+3 and Iran will be established to\n                  monitor the implementation of this JCPOA and will carry out the functions\n                  provided for in this JCPOA. This Joint Commission will address issues arising\n                  from the implementation of this JCPOA and will operate in accordance with\n                  the provisions as detailed in the relevant annex.\n           x.     The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will be requested to monitor\n                  and verify the voluntary nuclear-related measures as detailed in this JCPOA.\n                  The IAEA will be requested to provide regular updates to the Board of\n                  Governors, and as provided for in this JCPOA, to the UN Security Council. All\n                  relevant rules and regulations of the IAEA with regard to the protection of\n                  information will be fully observed by all parties involved.\n\n\n\n15-12243                                                                                                    9/104\n\nS/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n               xi.   All provisions and measures contained in this JCPOA are only for the purpose\n                     of its implementation between E3/EU+3 and Iran and should not be considered\n                     as setting precedents for any other state or for fundame ntal principles of\n                     international law and the rights and obligations under the NPT and other\n                     relevant instruments, as well as for internationally recognised principles and\n                     practices.\n               xii. Technical details of the implementation of this JCPOA are dealt with in the\n                    annexes to this document.\n               xiii. The EU and E3+3 countries and Iran, in the framework of the JCPOA, will\n                     cooperate, as appropriate, in the field of peaceful uses of nuclear energy and\n                     engage in mutually determined civil nuclear cooperation projects as detailed in\n                     Annex III, including through IAEA involvement.\n               xiv. The E3+3 will submit a draft resolution to the UN Security Council endorsing\n                    this JCPOA affirming that conclusion of this JCPOA marks a fundamental\n                    shift in its consideration of this issue and expressing its desire to build a new\n                    relationship with Iran. This UN Security Council resolution will also provide\n                    for the termination on Implementation Day of provisions imposed under\n                    previous resolutions; establishment of specific restrictions; and conclusion of\n                    consideration of the Iran nuclear issue by the UN Security Council 10 years\n                    after the Adoption Day.\n               xv.   The provisions stipulated in this JCPOA will be implemented for their\n                     respective durations as set forth below and detailed in the annexes .\n               xvi. The E3/EU+3 and Iran will meet at the ministerial level every 2 years, or\n                    earlier if needed, in order to review and assess progress and to adopt\n                    appropriate decisions by consensus.\n\n\n\n\n10/104                                                                                                  15-12243\n\n                                                                                                      S/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n                Iran and E3/EU+3 will take the following voluntary measures within\n                the timeframe as detailed in this JCPOA and its Annexes\n\n                NUCLEAR\n\n           A.   ENRICHMENT, ENRICHMENT R&D, STOCKPILES\n\n                1.   Iran’s long term plan includes certain agreed limitations on all uranium\n                     enrichment and uranium enrichment-related activities including certain\n                     limitations on specific research and development (R&D) activities for the first\n                     8 years, to be followed by gradual evolution, at a reasonable pace, to the next\n                     stage of its enrichment activities for exclusively peaceful purposes, as\n                     described in Annex I. Iran will abide by its voluntary commitments, as\n                     expressed in its own long-term enrichment and enrichment R&D plan to be\n                     submitted as part of the initial declaration for the Additional Protocol to Iran’s\n                     Safeguards Agreement.\n                2.   Iran will begin phasing out its IR-1 centrifuges in 10 years. During this period,\n                     Iran will keep its enrichment capacity at Natanz at up to a total installed\n                     uranium enrichment capacity of 5060 IR-1 centrifuges. Excess centrifuges and\n                     enrichment-related infrastructure at Natanz will be stored under IAEA\n                     continuous monitoring, as specified in Annex I.\n                3.   Iran will continue to conduct enrichment R&D in a manner that does not\n                     accumulate enriched uranium. Iran’s enrichment R&D with uranium for\n                     10 years will only include IR-4, IR-5, IR-6 and IR-8 centrifuges as laid out in\n                     Annex I, and Iran will not engage in other isotope separation technologies for\n                     enrichment of uranium as specified in Annex I. Iran will continue testing IR -6\n                     and IR-8 centrifuges, and will commence testing of up to 30 IR-6 and IR-8\n                     centrifuges after eight and a half years, as detailed in Annex I.\n                4.   As Iran will be phasing out its IR-1 centrifuges, it will not manufacture or\n                     assemble other centrifuges, except as provided for in Annex I, and will replac e\n                     failed centrifuges with centrifuges of the same type. Iran will manufacture\n                     advanced centrifuge machines only for the purposes specified in this JCPOA.\n                     From the end of the eighth year, and as described in Annex I, Iran will start to\n                     manufacture agreed numbers of IR-6 and IR-8 centrifuge machines without\n                     rotors and will store all of the manufactured machines at Natanz, under IAEA\n                     continuous monitoring until they are needed under Iran’s long -term\n                     enrichment and enrichment R&D plan.\n                5.   Based on its own long-term plan, for 15 years, Iran will carry out its uranium\n                     enrichment-related activities, including safeguarded R&D exclusively in the\n                     Natanz Enrichment facility, keep its level of uranium enrichment at up to\n                     3.67%, and, at Fordow, refrain from any uranium enrichment and uranium\n                     enrichment R&D and from keeping any nuclear material.\n                6.   Iran will convert the Fordow facility into a nuclear, physics and technology\n                     centre. International collaboration including in the form of scientific joint\n                     partnerships will be established in agreed areas of research. 1044 IR-1\n                     centrifuges in six cascades will remain in one wing at Fordow. Two of these\n                     cascades will spin without uranium and will be transitioned, including through\n                     appropriate infrastructure modification, for stable isotope production. The\n\n\n15-12243                                                                                                        11/104\n\nS/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n                     other four cascades with all associated infrastructure will remain idle. All\n                     other centrifuges and enrichment-related infrastructure will be removed and\n                     stored under IAEA continuous monitoring as specified in Annex I.\n               7.    During the 15 year period, and as Iran gradually moves to meet international\n                     qualification standards for nuclear fuel produced in Iran, it will keep its\n                     uranium stockpile under 300 kg of up to 3.67% enriched uranium hexafluoride\n                     (UF6) or the equivalent in other chemical forms. The excess quantities are to\n                     be sold based on international prices and delivered to the international buyer in\n                     return for natural uranium delivered to Iran, or are to be down -blended to\n                     natural uranium level. Enriched uranium in fabricated fuel assemblies from\n                     Russia or other sources for use in Iran’s nuclear reactors will not be counted\n                     against the above stated 300 kg UF6 stockpile, if the criteria set out in Annex I\n                     are met with regard to other sources. The Joint Commission will support\n                     assistance to Iran, including through IAEA technical cooperation as\n                     appropriate, in meeting international qualification standards for nuclear fuel\n                     produced in Iran. All remaining uranium oxide enriched to between 5% and\n                     20% will be fabricated into fuel for the Tehran Research Reactor (TRR). Any\n                     additional fuel needed for the TRR will be made available to Iran at\n                     international market prices.\n\n          B.   ARAK, HEAVY WATER, REPROCESSING\n               8.    Iran will redesign and rebuild a modernised heavy water research reactor in\n                     Arak, based on an agreed conceptual design, using fuel enriched up to 3.67 %,\n                     in a form of an international partnership which will certify the final design.\n                     The reactor will support peaceful nuclear research and radioisotope production\n                     for medical and industrial purposes. The redesigned and rebuilt Arak reactor\n                     will not produce weapons grade plutonium. Except for the first core load, all\n                     of the activities for redesigning and manufacturing of the fuel assemblies for\n                     the redesigned reactor will be carried out in Iran. All spent fuel from Arak will\n                     be shipped out of Iran for the lifetime of the reactor. This international\n                     partnership will include participating E3/EU+3 parties, Iran and such other\n                     countries as may be mutually determined. Iran will take the leadershi p role as\n                     the owner and as the project manager and the E3/EU+3 and Iran will, before\n                     Implementation Day, conclude an official document which would define the\n                     responsibilities assumed by the E3/EU+3 participants.\n               9.    Iran plans to keep pace with the trend of international technological\n                     advancement in relying on light water for its future power and research\n                     reactors with enhanced international cooperation, including assurance of\n                     supply of necessary fuel.\n               10.   There will be no additional heavy water reactors or accumulation of heavy\n                     water in Iran for 15 years. All excess heavy water will be made available for\n                     export to the international market.\n               11.   Iran intends to ship out all spent fuel for all future and present power and\n                     research nuclear reactors, for further treatment or disposition as provided for\n                     in relevant contracts to be duly concluded with the recipient party.\n               12.   For 15 years Iran will not, and does not intend to thereafter, engage in any\n                     spent fuel reprocessing or construction of a facility capable o f spent fuel\n\n\n\n12/104                                                                                                   15-12243\n\n                                                                                                    S/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n                      reprocessing, or reprocessing R&D activities leading to a spent fuel\n                      reprocessing capability, with the sole exception of separation activities aimed\n                      exclusively at the production of medical and industrial radio -isotopes from\n                      irradiated enriched uranium targets.\n\n           C.   TRANSPARENCY AND CONFIDENCE BUILDING MEASURES\n                13.   Consistent with the respective roles of the President and Majlis (Parliament),\n                      Iran will provisionally apply the Additional Protocol to its Comprehensive\n                      Safeguards Agreement in accordance with Article 17(b) of the Additional\n                      Protocol, proceed with its ratification within the timeframe as detailed in\n                      Annex V and fully implement the modified Code 3.1 of the Subsidiary\n                      Arrangements to its Safeguards Agreement.\n                14.   Iran will fully implement the “Roadmap for Clarification of Past and Present\n                      Outstanding Issues” agreed with the IAEA, containing arrangements to\n                      address past and present issues of concern relating to its nuclear programme as\n                      raised in the annex to the IAEA report of 8 November 2011 (GOV/2011/65).\n                      Full implementation of activities undertaken under the Roadmap by Iran will\n                      be completed by 15 October 2015, and subsequently the Director General will\n                      provide by 15 December 2015 the final assessment on the resolution of all past\n                      and present outstanding issues to the Board of Governors, and the E3+3, in\n                      their capacity as members of the Board of Governors, will submit a resolution\n                      to the Board of Governors for taking necessary action, with a view to closing\n                      the issue, without prejudice to the competence of the Board of Governors.\n                15.   Iran will allow the IAEA to monitor the implementation of the voluntary\n                      measures for their respective durations, as well as to implement transparency\n                      measures, as set out in this JCPOA and its Annexes. These measures include: a\n                      long-term IAEA presence in Iran; IAEA monitoring of uranium ore\n                      concentrate produced by Iran from all uranium ore concentrate plants for\n                      25 years; containment and surveillance of centrifuge rotors and bellows for\n                      20 years; use of IAEA approved and certified modern technologies including\n                      on-line enrichment measurement and electronic seals; and a reliable\n                      mechanism to ensure speedy resolution of IAEA access concerns for 15 years,\n                      as defined in Annex I.\n                16.   Iran will not engage in activities, including at the R&D level, that could\n                      contribute to the development of a nuclear explosive device, including\n                      uranium or plutonium metallurgy activities, as specified in Annex I.\n                17.   Iran will cooperate and act in accordance with the procurement channel in this\n                      JCPOA, as detailed in Annex IV, endorsed by the UN Security Council\n                      resolution.\n\n\n\n\n15-12243                                                                                                      13/104\n\nS/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n               SANCTIONS\n               18.    The UN Security Council resolution endorsing this JCPOA will terminate all\n                      provisions of previous UN Security Council resolutions on the Ira nian nuclear\n                      issue - 1696 (2006), 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008), 1835 (2008),\n                      1929 (2010) and 2224 (2015) – simultaneously with the IAEA-verified\n                      implementation of agreed nuclear-related measures by Iran and will establish\n                      specific restrictions, as specified in Annex V. 1\n               19.    The EU will terminate all provisions of the EU Regulation, as subsequently\n                      amended, implementing all nuclear-related economic and financial sanctions,\n                      including related designations, simultaneously with the IAEA -verified\n                      implementation of agreed nuclear-related measures by Iran as specified in\n                      Annex V, which cover all sanctions and restrictive measures in the following\n                      areas, as described in Annex II:\n                      i.

Eight years after Adoption Day or when the IAEA has reached the Broader\n                     Conclusion that all nuclear material in Iran remains in peaceful activities,\n                     whichever is earlier, the United States will seek such legislative action as may\n                     be appropriate to terminate, or modify to effectuate the termination of, the\n                     sanctions specified in Annex II on the acquisition of nuclear -related\n                     commodities and services for nuclear activities contemplated in this JCPOA,\n                     to be consistent with the U.S. approach to other non -nuclear-weapon states\n                     under the NPT.\n               24.   The E3/EU and the United States specify in Annex II a full and complete list\n                     of all nuclear-related sanctions or restrictive measures and will lift them in\n                     accordance with Annex V. Annex II also specifies the effects of the lifting of\n                     sanctions beginning on “Implementation Day”. If at any time following the\n                     Implementation Day, Iran believes that any other nuclear -related sanction or\n                     restrictive measure of the E3/EU+3 is preventing the full implementation of\n                     the sanctions lifting as specified in this JCPOA, the JCPOA participant in\n                     question will consult with Iran with a view to resolving the issue and, if they\n                     concur that lifting of this sanction or restrictive measure is appropriate, the\n                     JCPOA participant in question will take appropriate action. If they are not able\n                     to resolve the issue, Iran or any member of the E3/EU+3 may refer the issue to\n                     the Joint Commission.\n               25.   If a law at the state or local level in the United States is preventing the\n                     implementation of the sanctions lifting as specified in this JCPOA, the United\n                     States will take appropriate steps, taking into account all available authorities,\n                     with a view to achieving such implementation. The United States will actively\n                     encourage officials at the state or local level to take into account the changes\n                     in the U.S. policy reflected in the lifting of sanctions under this JCPOA and to\n                     refrain from actions inconsistent with this change in policy.\n\n\n\n\n16/104                                                                                                     15-12243\n\n                                                                                                          S/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n                26.    The EU will refrain from re-introducing or re-imposing the sanctions that it\n                       has terminated implementing under this JCPOA, without prejudice to the\n                       dispute resolution process provided for under this JCPOA. There will be no\n                       new nuclear-related UN Security Council sanctions and no new EU nuclear -\n                       related sanctions or restrictive measures. The United States will make best\n                       efforts in good faith to sustain this JCPOA and to prevent interference with the\n                       realisation of the full benefit by Iran of the sanctions lifting specified in\n                       Annex II. The U.S. Administration, acting consistent with the respective roles\n                       of the President and the Congress, will refrain from re -introducing or reimposing the sanctions specified in Annex II that it has ceased applying under\n                       this JCPOA, without prejudice to the dispute resolution process provided for\n                       under this JCPOA. The U.S. Administration, acting consistent with the\n                       respective roles of the President and the Congress, will refrain from imposing\n                       new nuclear-related sanctions. Iran has stated that it will treat such a\n                       re-introduction or re-imposition of the sanctions specified in Annex II, or such\n                       an imposition of new nuclear-related sanctions, as grounds to cease\n                       performing its commitments under this JCPOA in whole or in part.\n                27.    The E3/EU+3 will take adequate administrative and regulatory measures to\n                       ensure clarity and effectiveness with respect to the lifting of sanctions under\n                       this JCPOA. The EU and its Member States as well as the United States will\n                       issue relevant guidelines and make publicly accessible statements on the\n                       details of sanctions or restrictive measures which have been lifted under this\n                       JCPOA. The EU and its Member States and the United States commit to\n                       consult with Iran regarding the content of such guidelines and statements, on a\n                       regular basis and whenever appropriate.\n                28.    The E3/EU+3 and Iran commit to implement this JCPOA in good faith and in a\n                       constructive atmosphere, based on mutual respect, and to refrain from any\n                       action inconsistent with the letter, spirit and intent of this JCPOA th at would\n                       undermine its successful implementation. Senior Government officials of the\n                       E3/EU+3 and Iran will make every effort to support the successful\n                       implementation of this JCPOA including in their public statements. 2 The\n                       E3/EU+3 will take all measures required to lift sanctions and will refrain from\n                       imposing exceptional or discriminatory regulatory and procedural\n                       requirements in lieu of the sanctions and restrictive measures covered by the\n                       JCPOA.\n                29.    The EU and its Member States and the United States, co nsistent with their\n                       respective laws, will refrain from any policy specifically intended to directly\n                       and adversely affect the normalisation of trade and economic relations with\n                       Iran inconsistent with their commitments not to undermine the successful\n                       implementation of this JCPOA.\n                30.    The E3/EU+3 will not apply sanctions or restrictive measures to persons or\n                       entities for engaging in activities covered by the lifting of sanctions provided\n                       for in this JCPOA, provided that such activities are otherwise consistent with\n                       E3/EU+3 laws and regulations in effect.

Consistent with the timing specified in Annex V, the EU and its Member States\n                     will terminate the implementation of the measures applicable to designated\n                     entities and individuals, including the Central Bank of Iran and other Iranian\n                     banks and financial institutions, as detailed in Annex II and the attachments\n                     thereto. Consistent with the timing specified in Annex V, the United States will\n                     remove designation of certain entities and individuals on the Specially\n                     Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, and entities and individuals\n                     listed on the Foreign Sanctions Evaders List, as detailed in Annex II and the\n                     attachments thereto.\n               32.   EU and E3+3 countries and international participants will engage in joint\n                     projects with Iran, including through IAEA technical cooperation projects, in\n                     the field of peaceful nuclear technology, including nuclear power plants,\n                     research reactors, fuel fabrication, agreed joint advanced R&D such as fusion,\n                     establishment of a state-of-the-art regional nuclear medical centre, personnel\n                     training, nuclear safety and security, and environmental protection, as detailed\n                     in Annex III. They will take necessary measures, as appropriate, for the\n                     implementation of these projects.\n               33.   The E3/EU+3 and Iran will agree on steps to ensure Iran’s a ccess in areas of\n                     trade, technology, finance and energy. The EU will further explore possible\n                     areas for cooperation between the EU, its Member States and Iran, and in this\n                     context consider the use of available instruments such as export credits to\n                     facilitate trade, project financing and investment in Iran.\n\n\n\n\n18/104                                                                                                  15-12243\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n           IMPLEMENTATION PLAN\n           34.   Iran and the E3/EU+3 will implement their JCPOA commitments according to\n                 the sequence specified in Annex V.

Adoption Day is the date 90 days after the endorsement of this JCPOA\n                        by the UN Security Council, or such earlier date as may be determined\n                        by mutual consent of the JCPOA participants, at which time this JCPOA\n                        and the commitments in this JCPOA come into effect. Beginning on that\n                        date, JCPOA participants will make necessary arrangements and\n                        preparations for the implementation of their JCPOA commitments.\n                 iii.   Implementation Day is the date on which, simultaneously with the IAEA\n                        report verifying implementation by Iran of the nuclear -related measures\n                        described in Sections 15.1. to 15.11 of Annex V, the EU and the United\n                        States take the actions described in Sections 16 and 17 of Annex V\n                        respectively and in accordance with the UN Security Council resolution,\n                        the actions described in Section 18 of Annex V occur at the UN level.\n                 iv.

On that date, the EU will take the actions described in\n                        Section 25 of Annex V.\n           35.   The sequence and milestones set forth above and in Annex V are without\n                 prejudice to the duration of JCPOA commitments stated in this JCPOA.\n\n           DISPUTE RESOLUTION MECHANISM\n           36.   If Iran believed that any or all of the E3/EU+3 were not meeting their\n                 commitments under this JCPOA, Iran could refer the issue to the Joint\n                 Commission for resolution; similarly, if any of the E3/EU+3 believed that Iran\n                 was not meeting its commitments under this JCPOA, any of the E3/EU+3\n                 could do the same. The Joint Commission would have 15 days to resolve the\n                 issue, unless the time period was extended by consensus. After Joint\n                 Commission consideration, any participant could refer the issue to Ministers of\n                 Foreign Affairs, if it believed the compliance issue had not been resolved.\n\n\n\n15-12243                                                                                                     19/104\n\nS/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n                     Ministers would have 15 days to resolve the issue, unless the time period was\n                     extended by consensus. After Joint Commission consideration – in parallel\n                     with (or in lieu of) review at the Ministerial level - either the complaining\n                     participant or the participant whose performance is in question could request\n                     that the issue be considered by an Advisory Board, which would consist of\n                     three members (one each appointed by the participants in the dispute and a\n                     third independent member). The Advisory Board should provide a non -binding\n                     opinion on the compliance issue within 15 days. If, after this 30 -day process\n                     the issue is not resolved, the Joint Commission would consider the opinion of\n                     the Advisory Board for no more than 5 days in order to resolve the issue. If the\n                     issue still has not been resolved to the satisfaction of the complaining\n                     participant, and if the complaining participant deems the issue to constitute\n                     significant non-performance, then that participant could treat the unresolved\n                     issue as grounds to cease performing its commitments under this JCPOA in\n                     whole or in part and/or notify the UN Security Council that it believes the\n                     issue constitutes significant non-performance.\n               37.   Upon receipt of the notification from the complaining participant, as described\n                     above, including a description of the good-faith efforts the participant made to\n                     exhaust the dispute resolution process specified in this JCPOA, the UN\n                     Security Council, in accordance with its procedures, shall vote on a resolution\n                     to continue the sanctions lifting. If the resolution described above has not been\n                     adopted within 30 days of the notification, then the provisions of the old UN\n                     Security Council resolutions would be re-imposed, unless the UN Security\n                     Council decides otherwise. In such event, these provisions would not apply\n                     with retroactive effect to contracts signed between any party and Iran or\n                     Iranian individuals and entities prior to the date of application, provided that\n                     the activities contemplated under and execution of such contracts are\n                     consistent with this JCPOA and the previous and current UN Security Council\n                     resolutions. The UN Security Council, expressing its intention to prevent the\n                     reapplication of the provisions if the issue giving rise to the notification is\n                     resolved within this period, intends to take into account the views of the States\n                     involved in the issue and any opinion on the issue of the Advisory Board. Iran\n                     has stated that if sanctions are reinstated in whole or in part, Iran will treat that\n                     as grounds to cease performing its commitments under this JCPOA in whole or\n                     in part.\n\n\n\n\n20/104                                                                                                       15-12243\n\n                                                                                                      S/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n                JCPOA Annex I – Nuclear-related measures\n\n           A.   GENERAL\n                1.   The sequence of implementation of the commitments detailed in this Annex is\n                     specified in Annex V to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).\n                     Unless otherwise specified, the durations of the commitments in this Annex\n                     are from Implementation Day.\n\n           B.   ARAK HEAVY WATER RESEARCH REACTOR\n                2.   Iran will modernise the Arak heavy water research reactor to support peaceful\n                     nuclear research and radioisotopes production for medical and industrial\n                     purposes. Iran will redesign and rebuild the reactor, based on the agreed\n                     conceptual design (as attached to this Annex) to support its peaceful nuclear\n                     research and production needs and purposes, including testing of fuel pins and\n                     assembly prototypes and structural materials. The design will be such as to\n                     minimise the production of plutonium and not to produce weapon-grade\n                     plutonium in normal operation. The power of the redesigned reactor will not\n                     exceed 20 MWth. The E3/EU+3 and Iran share the understanding that the\n                     parameters in the conceptual design are subject to possible and necessary\n                     adjustments in developing the final design while fully preserving the above -\n                     mentioned purposes and principles of modernisation.\n                3.   Iran will not pursue construction at the existing unfinished reactor based on its\n                     original design and will remove the existing calandria and retain i t in Iran. The\n                     calandria will be made inoperable by filling any openings in the calandria with\n                     concrete such that the IAEA can verify that it will not be usable for a future\n                     nuclear application. In redesigning and reconstructing of the modernized Arak\n                     heavy water research reactor, Iran will maximise the use of existing\n                     infrastructure already installed at the current Arak research reactor.\n                4.   Iran will take the leadership role as the owner and as the project manager, and\n                     have responsibility for overall implementation of the Arak modernisation\n                     project, with E3/EU+3 participants assuming responsibilities regarding the\n                     modernisation of the Arak reactor as described in this Annex. A Working\n                     Group composed of E3/EU+3 participants will be established to facilitate the\n                     redesigning and rebuilding of the reactor. An international partnership\n                     composed of Iran and the Working Group would implement the Arak\n                     modernisation project. The Working Group could be enlarged to include other\n                     countries by consensus of the participants of the Working Group and Iran.\n                     E3/EU+3 participants and Iran will conclude an official document expressing\n                     their strong commitments to the Arak modernisation project in advance of\n                     Implementation Day which would provide an assured path forward to\n                     modernise the reactor and would define the responsibilities assumed by the\n                     E3/EU+3 participants, and subsequently contracts would be concluded. The\n                     participants of the Working Group will provide assistance needed by Iran for\n                     redesigning and rebuilding the reactor, consistent with their respective national\n                     laws, in such a manner as to enable the safe and timely construction and\n                     commissioning of the modernised reactor.\n                5.   Iran and the Working Group will cooperate to develop the final design of the\n                     modernised reactor and the design of the subsidiary laboratories to be carried\n\n\n15-12243                                                                                                        21/104\n\nS/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n                     out by Iran, and review conformity with international safety standards, such\n                     that the reactor can be licensed by the relevant Iranian regulatory authority for\n                     commissioning and operation. The final design of the modernised reactor and\n                     the design of the subsidiary laboratories will be submitted to the Joint\n                     Commission. The Joint Commission will aim to complete its review and\n                     endorsement within three months after the submission of the final design. If\n                     the Joint Commission does not complete its review and endorsement within\n                     three months, Iran could raise the issue through the dispute resolution\n                     mechanism envisaged by this JCPOA.\n               6.    The IAEA will monitor the construction and report to the Working Grou p for\n                     confirmation that the construction of the modernised reactor is consistent with\n                     the approved final design.\n               7.    As the project manager, Iran will take responsibility for the construction\n                     efforts. E3/EU+3 parties will, consistent with their national la ws, take\n                     appropriate administrative, legal, technical, and regulatory measures to\n                     support co-operation.\n                     E3/EU+3 parties will support the purchase by Iran, the transfer and supply of\n                     necessary materials, equipment, instrumentation and control systems and\n                     technologies required for the construction of the redesigned reactor, through\n                     the mechanism established by this JCPOA, as well as through exploration of\n                     relevant funding contributions.\n               8.    E3/EU+3 parties will also support and facilitate the timely and safe\n                     construction of the modernized Arak reactor and its subsidiary laboratories,\n                     upon request by Iran, through IAEA technical cooperation if appropriate,\n                     including but not limited to technical and financial assistance, supply of\n                     required materials and equipment, state-of-the-art instrumentation and control\n                     systems and equipment and support for licensing and authorization.\n               9.    The redesigned reactor will use up to 3.67 percent enriched uranium in the\n                     form of UO2 with a mass of approximately 350 kg of UO2 in a fu ll core load,\n                     with a fuel design to be reviewed and approved by the Joint Commission. The\n                     international partnership with the participation of Iran will fabricate the initial\n                     fuel core load for the reactor outside Iran. The international partnership will\n                     cooperate with Iran, including through technical assistance, to fabricate, test\n                     and license fuel fabrication capabilities in Iran for subsequent fuel core reloads\n                     for future use with this reactor. Destructive and non-destructive testing of this\n                     fuel including Post-Irradiation-Examination (PIE) will take place in one of the\n                     participating countries outside of Iran and that country will work with Iran to\n                     license the subsequent fuel fabricated in Iran for the use in the redesigned\n                     reactor under IAEA monitoring.\n               10.   Iran will not produce or test natural uranium pellets, fuel pins or fuel\n                     assemblies, which are specifically designed for the support of the originally\n                     designed Arak reactor, designated by the IAEA as IR -40. Iran will store under\n                     IAEA continuous monitoring all existing natural uranium pellets and IR-40\n                     fuel assemblies until the modernised Arak reactor becomes operational, at\n                     which point these natural uranium pellets and IR-40 fuel assemblies will be\n                     converted to UNH, or exchanged with an equivalent quantity of natural\n                     uranium. Iran will make the necessary technical modifications to the natural\n\n\n\n22/104                                                                                                     15-12243\n\n                                                                                                       S/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n                      uranium fuel production process line that was intended to supply fuel for the\n                      IR-40 reactor design, such that it can be used for the fabrication of the fuel\n                      reloads for the modernised Arak reactor.\n                11.   All spent fuel from the redesigned Arak reactor, regardless of its origin, for the\n                      lifetime of the reactor, will be shipped out of Iran to a mutually determined\n                      location in E3/EU+3 countries or third countries, for furt her treatment or\n                      disposition as provided for in relevant contracts to be concluded, consistent\n                      with national laws, with the recipient party, within one year from the\n                      unloading from the reactor or whenever deemed to be safe for transfer by the\n                      recipient country.\n                12.   Iran will submit the DIQ of the redesigned reactor to the IAEA which will\n                      include information on the planned radio-isotope production and reactor\n                      operation programme. The reactor will be operated under IAEA monitoring.\n                13.   Iran will operate the Fuel Manufacturing Plant only to produce fuel assemblies\n                      for light water reactors and reloads for the modernized Arak reactor.\n\n           C.   HEAVY WATER PRODUCTION PLANT\n                14.   All excess heavy water which is beyond Iran’s needs for the modernised Arak\n                      research reactor, the Zero power heavy water reactor, quantities needed for\n                      medical research and production of deuterate solutions and chemical\n                      compounds including, where appropriate, contingency stocks, will be made\n                      available for export to the international market based on international prices\n                      and delivered to the international buyer for 15 years. Iran’s needs, consistent\n                      with the parameters above, are estimated to be 130 metric tonnes of nuclear\n                      grade heavy water or its equivalent in different enrichments prior to\n                      commissioning of the modernised Arak research reactor, and 90 metric tonnes\n                      after the commissioning, including the amount contained in the reactor.\n                15.   Iran will inform the IAEA about the inventory and the production of the\n                      HWPP and will allow the IAEA to monitor the quantities of the heavy water\n                      stocks and the amount of heavy water produced, including through IAEA\n                      visits, as requested, to the HWPP.\n\n           D.   OTHER REACTORS\n                16.   Consistent with its plan, Iran will keep pace with the trend of international\n                      technological advancement in relying only on light water for its future nuclear\n                      power and research reactors with enhanced international cooperation including\n                      assurances of supply of necessary fuel.\n                17.   Iran intends to ship out all spent fuel for all future and pre sent nuclear power\n                      and research reactors, for further treatment or disposition as provided for in\n                      relevant contracts to be concluded consistent with national laws with the\n                      recipient party.\n\n           E.   SPENT FUEL REPROCESSING ACTIVITIES\n                18.   For 15 years Iran will not, and does not intend to thereafter, engage in any\n                      spent fuel reprocessing or spent fuel reprocessing R&D activities. For the\n                      purpose of this annex, spent fuel includes all types of irradiated fuel.\n\n\n\n15-12243                                                                                                         23/104\n\nS/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n               19.   For 15 years Iran will not, and does not intend to thereafter, reprocess spent\n                     fuel except for irradiated enriched uranium targets for production of radio -\n                     isotopes for medical and peaceful industrial purposes.\n               20.   For 15 years Iran will not, and does not intend to thereafter, develop, acquire\n                     or build facilities capable of separation of plutonium, uranium or neptunium\n                     from spent fuel or from fertile targets, other than for production of radio -\n                     isotopes for medical and peaceful industrial purposes.\n               21.   For 15 years, Iran will only develop, acquire, build, or operate hot cells\n                     (containing a cell or interconnected cells), shielded cells or shielded glove\n                     boxes with dimensions less than 6 cubic meters in volume compatible with the\n                     specifications set out in Annex I of the Additional Protocol. These will be\n                     co-located with the modernised Arak research reactor, the Tehran Research\n                     Reactor, and radio-medicine production complexes, and only capable of the\n                     separation and processing of industrial or medical isotopes and non-destructive\n                     PIE. The needed equipment will be acquired through the procurement\n                     mechanism established by this JCPOA. For 15 years, Iran will develop,\n                     acquire, build, or operate hot cells (containing a cell or interconnected cells),\n                     shielded cells or shielded glove boxes with dimensions beyond 6 cubic meters\n                     in volume and specifications set out in Annex I of the Additional Protocol,\n                     only after approval by the Joint Commission.\n               22.   The E3/EU+3 are ready to facilitate all of the destructive and non -destructive\n                     examinations on fuel elements and/or fuel assembly prototypes including PIE\n                     for all fuel fabricated in or outside Iran and irradiated in Iran, using their\n                     existing facilities outside Iran. Except for the Arak research reactor complex,\n                     Iran will not develop, build, acquire or operate hot cells capable of performing\n                     PIE or seek to acquire equipment to build/develop such a capability, for\n                     15 years.\n               23.   For 15 years, in addition to continuing current fuel testing activities at the\n                     TRR, Iran will undertake non-destructive post irradiation examination (PIE) of\n                     fuel pins, fuel assembly prototypes and structural materials. These\n                     examinations will be exclusively at the Arak research reactor complex.\n                     However, the E3/EU+3 will make available their facilitie s to conduct\n                     destructive testing with Iranian specialists, as agreed. The hot cells at the Arak\n                     research reactor in which non-destructive PIE are performed will not be\n                     physically interconnected to cells that process or handle materials for the\n                     production of medical or industrial radioisotopes.\n               24.   For 15 years, Iran will not engage in producing or acquiring plutonium or\n                     uranium metals or their alloys, or conducting R&D on plutonium or uranium\n                     (or their alloys) metallurgy, or casting, forming, or machining p lutonium or\n                     uranium metal.\n               25.   Iran will not produce, seek, or acquire separated plutonium, highly enriched\n                     uranium (defined as 20% or greater uranium-235), or uranium-233, or\n                     neptunium-237 (except for use as laboratory standards or in instruments using\n                     neptunium-237) for 15 years.\n               26.   If Iran seeks to initiate R&D on uranium metal based TRR fuel in small agreed\n                     quantities after 10 years and before 15 years, Iran will present its plan to, and\n                     seek approval by, the Joint Commission.\n\n\n24/104                                                                                                    15-12243\n\n                                                                                                     S/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n           F.   ENRICHMENT CAPACITY\n                27.   Iran will keep its enrichment capacity at no more than 5060 IR-1 centrifuge\n                      machines in no more than 30 cascades in their current configurations in\n                      currently operating units at the Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant (FEP) for\n                      10 years.\n                28.   Iran will keep its level of uranium enrichment at up to 3.67 percent for\n                      15 years.\n                29.   Iran will remove the following excess centrifuges and infrastructure not\n                      associated with 5060 IR-1 centrifuges in FEP, which will be stored at Natanz\n                      in Hall B of FEP under IAEA continuous monitoring:\n                29.1. All excess centrifuge machines, including IR-2m centrifuges. Excess IR-1\n                      centrifuges will be used for the replacement of failed or damaged centrifuges\n                      of the same type on a one-for-one basis.\n                29.2. UF6 pipework including sub headers, valves and pressure transducers at\n                      cascade level, and frequency inverters, and UF6 withdrawal equipment from\n                      one of the withdrawal stations, which is currently not in service, including its\n                      vacuum pumps and chemical traps.\n                30.   For the purpose of this Annex, the IAEA will confirm through the established\n                      practice the failed or damaged status of centrifuge machines before removal.\n                31.   For 15 years, Iran will install gas centrifuge machines, or enrichment -related\n                      infrastructure, whether suitable for uranium enrichment, research and\n                      development, or stable isotope enrichment, exclusively at the locations and for\n                      the activities specified under this JCPOA.\n\n           G.   CENTRIFUGES RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT\n                32.   Iran will continue to conduct enrichment R&D in a manner that does not\n                      accumulate enriched uranium. For 10 years and consistent with its enrichment\n                      R&D plan, Iran’s enrichment R&D with uranium will only include IR -4, IR-5,\n                      IR-6 and IR-8 centrifuges. Mechanical testing on up to two single centrifuges\n                      for each type will be carried out only on the IR-2m, IR-4, IR-5, IR-6, IR-6s,\n                      IR-7 and IR-8. Iran will build or test, with or without uranium, only those gas\n                      centrifuges specified in this JCPOA.\n                33.   Consistent with its plan, Iran will continue working with the 164 -machine\n                      IR-2m cascade at PFEP in order to complete the necessary tests until\n                      30 November 2015 or the day of implementation of this JCPOA, whichever\n                      comes later, and after that it will take these machines out of the PFEP and\n                      store them under IAEA continuous monitoring at Natanz in Hall B of FEP.\n                34.   Consistent with its plan, Iran will continue working with the 164 -machine IR-4\n                      cascade at PFEP in order to complete the necessary tests until 30 November\n                      2015 or the day of implementation of this JCPOA, whichever come s later, and\n                      after that it will take these machines out of the PFEP and store them under\n                      IAEA continuous monitoring at Natanz in Hall B of FEP.\n                35.   Iran will continue the testing of a single IR-4 centrifuge machine and IR-4\n                      centrifuge cascade of up to 10 centrifuge machines for 10 years.\n\n\n\n15-12243                                                                                                       25/104\n\nS/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n               36.   Iran will test a single IR-5 centrifuge machine for 10 years.\n               37.   Iran will continue testing of the IR-6 on single centrifuge machines and its\n                     intermediate cascades and will commence testing of up to 30 centrifuge\n                     machines from one and a half years before the end of year 10. Iran will\n                     proceed from single centrifuge machines and small cascades to intermediate\n                     cascades in a logical sequence.\n               38.   Iran will commence, upon start of implementation of the JCPOA, testing of t he\n                     IR-8 on single centrifuge machines and its intermediate cascades and will\n                     commence the testing of up to 30 centrifuges machines from one and a half\n                     years before the end of year 10. Iran will proceed from single centrifuges to\n                     small cascades to intermediate cascades in a logical sequence.\n               39.   For 10 years, Iran, consistent with the established practice, will recombine the\n                     enriched and depleted streams from the IR-6 and IR-8 cascades through the\n                     use of welded pipework on withdrawal main headers in a manner that\n                     precludes the withdrawal of enriched and depleted uranium materials and\n                     verified by the IAEA.\n               40.   For 15 years, Iran will conduct all testing of centrifuges with uranium only at\n                     the PFEP. Iran will conduct all mechanical testing of centrifuges only at the\n                     PFEP and the Tehran Research Centre.\n               41.   For the purpose of adapting PFEP to the R&D activities in the enrichment and\n                     enrichment R&D plan, Iran will remove all centrifuges except those needed for\n                     testing as described in the relevant paragraphs above, except for the IR-1\n                     cascade (No. 1) as described below. For the full IR-1 cascade (No. 6), Iran will\n                     modify associated infrastructure by removing UF6 pipework, including\n                     sub-headers, valves and pressure transducers at cascade level, and frequency\n                     inverters. The IR-1 cascade (No. 1) centrifuges will be kept but made\n                     inoperable, as verified by the IAEA, through the removal of centrifuge rotors\n                     and the injection of epoxy resin into the sub headers, feeding, product, and\n                     tails pipework, and the removal of controls and electrical systems for vacuum,\n                     power and cooling. Excess centrifuges and infrastructure will be stored at\n                     Natanz in Hall B of FEP under IAEA continuous monitoring. The R&D space\n                     in line No. 6 will be left empty until Iran needs to use it fo r its R&D\n                     programme.\n               42.   Consistent with the activities in the enrichment and enrichment R&D plan,\n                     Iran will maintain the cascade infrastructure for testing of single centrifuges\n                     and small and intermediate cascades in two R&D lines (No. 2 and No. 3) and\n                     will adapt two other lines (No. 4 and No. 5) with infrastructure similar to that\n                     for lines No. 2 and No. 3 in order to enable future R&D activities as specified\n                     in this JCPoA. Adaptation will include modification of all UF6 pipework\n                     (including removal of all sub headers except as agreed as needed for the R&D\n                     programme) and associated instrumentation to be compatible with single\n                     centrifuges and small and intermediate cascade testing instead of full scale\n                     testing.\n               43.   Consistent with its plan and internationally established practices, Iran intends\n                     to continue R&D on new types of centrifuges through computer modelling and\n                     simulations, including at universities. For any such project to proceed to a\n\n\n\n\n26/104                                                                                                  15-12243\n\n                                                                                                     S/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n                      prototype stage for mechanical testing within 10 years, a full pr esentation to,\n                      and approval by, the Joint Commission is needed.\n\n           H.   FORDOW FUEL ENRICHMENT PLANT\n                44.   The Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (FFEP) will be converted into a nuclear,\n                      physics, and technology centre and international collaboration will be\n                      encouraged in agreed areas of research. The Joint Commission will be\n                      informed in advance of the specific projects that will be undertaken at Fordow.\n                45.   Iran will not conduct any uranium enrichment or any uranium enrichment\n                      related R&D and will have no nuclear material at the Fordow Fuel Enrichment\n                      Plant (FFEP) for 15 years.\n                46.   For 15 years, Iran will maintain no more than 1044 IR -1 centrifuge machines\n                      at one wing of the FFEP of which:\n                      46.1. Two cascades that have not experienced UF6 before will be modified for\n                            the production of stable isotopes. The transition to stable isotope\n                            production of these cascades at FFEP will be conducted in joint\n                            partnership between the Russian Federation and Iran on the basis of\n                            arrangements to be mutually agreed upon. To prepare the se two cascades\n                            for installation of a new cascade architecture appropriate for stable\n                            isotope production by the joint partnership, Iran will remove the\n                            connection to the UF6 feed main header, and move cascade UF6\n                            pipework (except for the dump line in order to maintain vacuum) to\n                            storage in Fordow under IAEA continuous monitoring. The Joint\n                            Commission will be informed about the conceptual framework of stable\n                            isotope production at FFEP.\n                      46.2. For four cascades with all associated infrastructure remaining exc ept for\n                            pipework that enables crossover tandem connections, two will be placed\n                            in an idle state, not spinning. The other two cascades will continue to\n                            spin until the transition to stable isotope production described in the\n                            previous subparagraph has been completed. Upon completion of the\n                            transition to stable isotope production described in the previous\n                            subparagraph, these two spinning cascades will be placed in an idle state,\n                            not spinning.\n                47.   Iran will:\n                      47.1. remove the other 2 cascades of IR-1 centrifuges from this wing, by\n                            removing all centrifuges and cascade UF6 pipework, including\n                            sub-headers, valves and pressure transducers at cascade level, and\n                            frequency inverters.\n                      47.2. also subsequently remove cascade electrical cabling, individual cascade\n                            control cabinets and vacuum pumps. All these excess centrifuges and\n                            infrastructure will be stored at Natanz in Hall B of FEP under IAEA\n                            continuous monitoring.\n                48.   Iran will:\n                      48.1. remove all excess centrifuges and uranium enrichment related\n                            infrastructure from the other wing of the FFEP. This will include removal\n\n\n\n15-12243                                                                                                       27/104\n\nS/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n                              of all centrifuges and UF6 pipework, including sub headers, valves and\n                              pressure gauges and transducers, and frequency inverters and converters,\n                              and UF6 feed and withdrawal stations.\n                        48.2. also subsequently remove cascade electrical cabling, individual cascade\n                              control cabinets, vacuum pumps and centrifuge mounting blocks. All\n                              these excess centrifuges and infrastructure will be stored at Natanz in\n                              Hall B of FEP under IAEA continuous monitoring.\n                 49.    Centrifuges from the four idle cascades may be used for the replacement of\n                        failed or damaged centrifuges in stable isotope production at Fordow.\n                 50.    Iran will limit its stable isotope production activities with gas centrifuges to\n                        the FFEP for 15 years and will use no more than 348 IR-1 centrifuges for these\n                        activities at the FFEP. The associated R&D activities in Iran will occur at the\n                        FFEP and at Iran’s declared and monitored centrifuge manufacturing facilities\n                        for testing, modification and balancing these IR-1 centrifuges.\n                 51.    The IAEA will establish a baseline for the amount of uranium legacy from past\n                        enrichment operations that will remain in Fordow. Iran will permit the IAEA\n                        regular access, including daily as requested by the IAEA, access to the FFEP\n                        in order to monitor Iran’s production of stable isotopes and the absence of\n                        undeclared nuclear material and activities at the FFEP for 15 years.\n\n           I.    OTHER ASPECTS OF ENRICHMENT\n                 52.    Iran will abide by its voluntary commitments as expressed in its own long term\n                        enrichment and enrichment R&D plan to be submitted as part of the initial\n                        declaration described in Article 2 of the Additional Protocol. 1 The IAEA will\n                        confirm on an annual basis, for the duration of the plan that the nature and\n                        scope and scale of Iran’s enrichment and enrichment R&D activities are in line\n                        with this plan.\n                 53.    Iran will start to install necessary infrastructure for the IR -8 at Natanz in Hall\n                        B of FEP after year 10.\n                 54.    An agreed template for describing different centrifuge types (IR -1, IR-2m, IR-4,\n                        IR-5, IR-6, IR-6s, IR-7, IR-8) and the associated definitions need to be\n                        accomplished by implementation day.\n                 55.    An agreed procedure for measuring IR-1, IR-2m and IR-4 centrifuge\n                        performance data needs to be accomplished by implementation day.\n\n          J.     URANIUM STOCKS AND FUELS\n                 56.    Iran will maintain a total enriched uranium stockpile of no more than 300 kg\n                        of up to 3.67% enriched uranium hexafluoride (or the equivalent in different\n                        chemical forms) for 15 years.\n                 57.    All enriched uranium hexafluoride in excess of 300 kg of up to 3.67%\n                        enriched UF6 (or the equivalent in different chemical forms) will be down\n                        blended to natural uranium level or be sold on the international market and\n                        delivered to the international buyer in return for natural uranium d elivered to\n         __________________\n                1 Iran will permit the IAEA to share the content of the enrichment and enrichment R&D plan, as\n\n                 submitted as part of the initial declaration, with the Joint Commission participants.\n\n\n28/104                                                                                                           15-12243\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n                 Iran. Iran will enter into a commercial contract with an entity outside Iran for\n                 the purchase and transfer of its enriched uranium stockpile in excess of 300 kg\n                 UF6 in return for natural uranium delivered to Iran. The E3/EU+3 will\n                 facilitate, where applicable, the conclusion and implementation of this\n                 contract. Iran may choose to seek to sell excess enriched uranium to the IAEA\n                 fuel bank in Kazakhstan when the fuel bank becomes operational.\n           58.   All uranium oxide enriched to between 5% and 20% will be fabricated into\n                 fuel plates for the Tehran Research Reactor or transferred, based on a\n                 commercial transaction, outside of Iran or diluted to an enrichment level of\n                 3.67% or less. Scrap oxide and other forms not in plates that cannot be\n                 fabricated into TRR fuel plates will be transferred, based on a commercial\n                 transaction, outside of Iran or diluted to an enrichment level of 3.67% or less.\n                 In case of future supply of 19.75% enriched uranium oxide (U3O8) for TRR\n                 fuel plates fabrication, all scrap oxide and other forms not in plates that cannot\n                 be fabricated into TRR fuel plates, containing uranium enriched to between\n                 5% and 20%, will be transferred, based on a commercial transaction, outside\n                 of Iran or diluted to an enrichment level of 3.67% or less with in 6 months of\n                 its production. Scrap plates will be transferred, based on a commercial\n                 transaction, outside Iran. The commercial transactions should be structured to\n                 return an equivalent amount of natural uranium to Iran. For 15 years, Iran will\n                 not build or operate facilities for converting fuel plates or scrap back to UF6.\n           59.   Russian designed, fabricated and licensed fuel assemblies for use in Russian -\n                 supplied reactors in Iran do not count against the 300 kg UF6 stockpile limit.\n                 Enriched uranium in fabricated fuel assemblies from other sources outside of\n                 Iran for use in Iran’s nuclear research and power reactors, including those\n                 which will be fabricated outside of Iran for the initial fuel load of the\n                 modernised Arak research reactor, which are certified by the fuel supplier and\n                 the appropriate Iranian authority to meet international standards, will not count\n                 against the 300 kg UF6 stockpile limit. The Joint Commission will establish a\n                 Technical Working Group with the goal of enabling fuel to be fabricate d in\n                 Iran while adhering to the agreed stockpile parameters (300 kg of up to 3.67 %\n                 enriched UF6 or the equivalent in different chemical forms). This Technical\n                 Working Group will also, within one year, work to develop objective technical\n                 criteria for assessing whether fabricated fuel and its intermediate products can\n                 be readily converted to UF6. Enriched uranium in fabricated fuel assemblies\n                 and its intermediate products manufactured in Iran and certified to meet\n                 international standards, including those for the modernised Arak research\n                 reactor, will not count against the 300 kg UF6 stockpile limit provided the\n                 Technical Working Group of the Joint Commission approves that such fuel\n                 assemblies and their intermediate products cannot be readily reconverted into\n                 UF6. This could for instance be achieved through impurities (e.g. burnable\n                 poisons or otherwise) contained in fuels or through the fuel being in a\n                 chemical form such that direct conversion back to UF6 would be technically\n                 difficult without dissolution and purification. The objective technical criteria\n                 will guide the approval process of the Technical Working Group. The IAEA\n                 will monitor the fuel fabrication process for any fuel produced in Iran to verify\n                 that the fuel and intermediate products comport with t he fuel fabrication\n                 process that was approved by the Technical Working Group. The Joint\n                 Commission will also support assistance to Iran including through IAEA\n\n\n\n15-12243                                                                                                    29/104\n\nS/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n                     technical cooperation as appropriate, in meeting international qualification\n                     standards for nuclear fuel produced by Iran.\n               60.   Iran will seek to enter into a commercial contract with entities outside Iran for\n                     the purchase of fuel for the TRR and enriched uranium targets. The E3/EU+3\n                     will facilitate, as needed, the conclusion and implementation of this contract.\n                     In the case of lack of conclusion of a contract with a fuel supplier, E3/EU+3\n                     will supply a quantity of 19.75% enriched uranium oxide (U3O8) and deliver\n                     to Iran, exclusively for the purpose of fabrication in Iran of fuel for the TRR\n                     and enriched uranium targets for the lifetime of the reactor. This 19.75%\n                     enriched uranium oxide (U3O8) will be supplied in increments no greater than\n                     approximately 5 kg and each new increment will be provided only when the\n                     previous increment of this material has been verified by the IAEA to have\n                     been mixed with aluminum to make fuel for the TRR or fabricated into\n                     enriched uranium targets. Iran will notify the E3/EU+3 within 2 year before\n                     the contingency of TRR fuel will be exhausted in order to have the uranium\n                     oxide available 6 months before the end of the 2 year period.\n\n          K.   CENTRIFUGE MANUFACTURING\n               61.   Consistent with its enrichment and enrichment R&D plan, Iran will only\n                     engage in production of centrifuges, including centrifuge rotors suitable for\n                     isotope separation or any other centrifuge components, to meet the enrichment\n                     and enrichment R&D requirements of this Annex.\n               62.   Consistent with its plan, Iran will use the stock of IR -1 centrifuge machines in\n                     storage, which are in excess of the remaining 5060 IR -1 centrifuges in Natanz\n                     and the IR-1 centrifuges installed at Fordow, for the replacement of failed or\n                     damaged machines. Whenever during the 10 year period from the start of the\n                     implementation of the JCPOA, the level of stock of IR -1 machines falls to 500\n                     or below, Iran may maintain this level of stock by resuming production of IR -1\n                     machines at a rate up to the average monthly crash rate without exceeding the\n                     stock of 500.\n               63.   Consistent with its plan, at the end of year 8, Iran will commence\n                     manufacturing of IR-6 and IR-8 centrifuges without rotors through year 10 at a\n                     rate of up to 200 centrifuges per year for each type. After year 10, Iran will\n                     produce complete centrifuges with the same rate to meet its enrichment and\n                     enrichment R&D needs. Iran will store them at Natanz in an above ground\n                     location, under IAEA continuous monitoring, until they are needed for final\n                     assembly according to the enrichment and enrichment R&D plan.\n\n          L.   ADDITIONAL PROTOCOL AND MODIFIED CODE 3.1\n               64.   Iran will notify the IAEA of provisional application of the Additional Protocol\n                     to its Safeguards Agreement in accordance with Article 17(b) of the Additional\n                     Protocol pending its entry into force, and subsequently seek ratification and\n                     entry into force, consistent with the respective roles of the President and the\n                     Majlis (Parliament).\n               65.   Iran will notify the IAEA that it will fully implement the Modified Code 3.1 of\n                     the Subsidiary Arrangement to Iran’s Safeguards Agreement as long as the\n                     Safeguards Agreement remains in force.\n\n\n\n30/104                                                                                                   15-12243\n\n                                                                                                      S/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n           M.   PAST AND PRESENT ISSUES OF CONCERN\n                66.   Iran will complete all activities as set out in paragraphs 2, 4, 5, and 6 of the\n                      “Roadmap for Clarification of Past and Present Outstanding Issues”, as\n                      verified by the IAEA in its regular updates by the Director Genera l of the\n                      IAEA on the implementation of this Roadmap.\n\n           N.   MODERN TECHNOLOGIES AND LONG TERM PRESENCE OF IAEA\n                67.   For the purpose of increasing the efficiency of monitoring for this JCPOA, for\n                      15 years or longer, for the specified verification measures:\n                      67.1. Iran will permit the IAEA the use of on-line enrichment measurement\n                            and electronic seals which communicate their status within nuclear sites\n                            to IAEA inspectors, as well as other IAEA approved and certified\n                            modern technologies in line with internationally accepted IAEA practice.\n                            Iran will facilitate automated collection of IAEA measurement\n                            recordings registered by installed measurement devices and sending to\n                            IAEA working space in individual nuclear sites.\n                      67.2. Iran will make the necessary arrangements to allow for a long-term IAEA\n                            presence, including issuing long-term visas, as well as providing proper\n                            working space at nuclear sites and, with best efforts, at locations near\n                            nuclear sites in Iran for the designated IAEA inspectors for working and\n                            keeping necessary equipment.\n                      67.3. Iran will increase the number of designated IAEA inspectors to the range\n                            of 130-150 within 9 months from the date of the implementation of the\n                            JCPOA, and will generally allow the designation of inspectors from\n                            nations that have diplomatic relations with Iran, consistent with its laws\n                            and regulations.\n\n           O.   TRANSPARENCY RELATED TO URANIUM ORE CONCENTRATE (UOC)\n                68.   Iran will permit the IAEA to monitor, through agreed measures that will\n                      include containment and surveillance measures, for 25 years, that all uranium\n                      ore concentrate produced in Iran or obtained from any other source, is\n                      transferred to the uranium conversion facility (UCF) in Esfahan or to any other\n                      future uranium conversion facility which Iran might decide to bu ild in Iran\n                      within this period.\n                69.   Iran will provide the IAEA with all necessary information such that the IAEA\n                      will be able to verify the production of the uranium ore concentrate and the\n                      inventory of uranium ore concentrate produced in Iran or obtained from any\n                      other source for 25 years.\n\n           P.   TRANSPARENCY RELATED TO ENRICHMENT\n                70.   For 15 years, Iran will permit the IAEA to implement continuous monitoring,\n                      including through containment and surveillance measures, as necessary, to\n                      verify that stored centrifuges and infrastructure remain in storage, and are only\n                      used to replace failed or damaged centrifuges, as specified in this Annex.\n\n\n\n\n15-12243                                                                                                        31/104\n\nS/RES/2231 (2015)\n\n\n               71.   Iran will permit the IAEA regular access, including daily access as requested\n                     by the IAEA, to relevant buildings at Natanz, including all parts of the FEP\n                     and PFEP, for 15 years.\n               72.   For 15 years, the Natanz enrichment site will be the sole location for all of\n                     Iran’s uranium enrichment related activities including safeguarded R&D.\n               73.   Iran intends to apply nuclear export policies and practices in line with the\n                     internationally established standards for the export of nuclear material,\n                     equipment and technology. For 15 years, Iran will only engage, including\n                     through export of any enrichment or enrichment related equipment and\n                     technology, with any other country, or with any foreign entity in enrichment or\n                     enrichment related activities, including related research and development\n                     activities, following approval by the Joint Commission.\n\n          Q.   ACCESS\n               74.   Requests for access pursuant to provisions of this JCPOA will be made in\n                     good faith, with due observance of the sovereign rights of Iran, and kept to the\n                     minimum necessary to effectively implement the verification responsibilities\n                     under this JCPOA. In line with normal international safeguards practice, such\n                     requests will not be aimed at interfering with Iranian military or other national\n                     security activities, but will be exclusively for resolving concerns regarding\n                     fulfilment of the JCPOA commitments and Iran’s other non-proliferation and\n                     safeguards obligations. The following procedures are for the purpose of\n                     JCPOA implementation between the E3/EU+3 and Iran and are without\n                     prejudice to the safeguards agreement and the Additional Protocol thereto. In\n                     implementing this procedure as well as other transparency measures, the IAEA\n                     will be requested to take every precaution to protect commercial, technological\n                     and industrial secrets as well as other confidential information coming to its\n                     knowledge.\n               75.   In furtherance of implementation of the JCPOA, if the IAEA has concerns\n                     regarding undeclared nuclear materials or activities, or activities inconsistent\n                     with the JCPOA, at locations that have not been declared under the\n                     comprehensive safeguards agreement or Additional Protocol, the IAEA will\n                     provide Iran the basis for such concerns and request clarification.\n               76.   If Iran’s explanations do not resolve the IAEA’s concerns, the Agency may\n                     request access to such locations for the sole reason to verify the absence o f\n                     undeclared nuclear materials and activities or activities inconsistent with the\n                     JCPOA at such locations. The IAEA will provide Iran the reasons for access in\n                     writing and will make available relevant information.\n               77.

Agrees with the Secretary-General that there have been gaps in the\n               integrated provision of logistical support to AMISOM and SNA troops, and\n               underscores that the delivery of logistical remains a joint responsibility between the\n               UN and AU, and underlines its determination to seek improvements to the support\n               provided to AMISOM, and provided by UNSOA to the SNA, as funded through the\n               UN trust fund;\n                      13. Requests the Secretary-General, in consultation with all stakeholders, to\n               carry out a strategic review of UNSOA, including a thorough review of support\n               provided to AMISOM by all partners, and set out a wide range of options on how to\n               improve overall support to AMISOM, in the context of the efficiency surge outlined\n               in paragraph 6, including through making improvements to the performance,\n               management, and structures of UNSOA, bearing in mind the imperative of\n               responsible cost control and taking into account the availability of resources, and\n               further requests the Secretary-General to present these options to the Council by no\n               later than 30 September 2015;\n                     14.

Welcomes the commencement of activities establishing a Civilian\n           Casualty Tracking Analysis and Response Cell (CCTARC) as requested in\n           resolutions 2093 (2013) and 2124 (2013), and underlines the importance of making\n           the CCTARC operational and effective without further delay, in collaboration with\n           humanitarian, human rights and protection actors, and ensuring information is\n           shared with relevant actors including the UN;\n                 16. Reiterates its call for new donors to support AMISOM through the\n           provision of additional funding for troop stipends, equipment, technical assistance\n           and uncaveated funding for AMISOM to the United Nations Trust Fund for\n           AMISOM, calls upon the AU to consider how to provide sustainable funding for\n           AMISOM, such as through its own assessed costs as it did for the African-led\n           International Support Mission in Mali, and underlines the AU’s call for its Member\n           States to provide financial support to AMISOM;\n\n           Somali National Security Forces\n                 17.

Mediterranean Sea,\n                      Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence,\n               territorial integrity and national unity of Libya,\n                     Recalling that international law, as reflected in the United Nations Convention\n               on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982, sets out the legal framework applicable\n               to activities in the ocean,\n                     Reaffirming also the United Nations Convention against Transnational\n               Organized Crime (UNTOC Convention) and its Protocol against the

hundreds of casualties, and noting with concern that such casualties\n               were, in some cases, the result of exploitation and misinformation by transnational\n               criminal

and recognizing that among these migrants may be persons who meet\n               the definition of a refugee under the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of\n               Refugees and the 1967

their obligations under international law, i ncluding international human\n               rights law and international refugee law, as applicable, stressing also the obligation\n               of

security policies,\n                     Reaffirming in this respect the need to promote and protect effectively the\n               human rights and fundamental freedoms of all migrants, regardless

situation in Libya is exacerbated by the\n               smuggling of migrants and human trafficking into, through and from the Libyan\n               territory, which could provide support to other organised crime and terrorist\n               networks in Libya,\n                    Mindful of its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international\n               peace and security under the Charter of the United Nations,\n                     Underlining the primary responsibility of the Libyan Government to take\n               appropriate action to prevent the recent proliferation of, and endangerment of lives\n               by, the smuggling of migrants and human trafficking through the territory of Libya\n               and its territorial sea,\n                     Mindful of the need to support further efforts to strengthen Libyan border\n               management, considering the difficulties of the Libyan Government to manage\n               effectively the migratory flows in transit through Libyan territory, and noting its\n               concern for the repercussions of this phenomenon on the stability of Libya and of\n               the Mediterranean region,\n                     Welcoming support already provided by the most concerned Member States,\n               including Member States of the European Union (EU), taking into account inter alia\n               the role of FRONTEX and the specific mandate of EUBAM Libya in support of the\n               Libyan Government, and by neighbouring States,\n                    Acknowledging the European Council statement of 23 April 2015 and the press\n               statement of the African Union Peace and Security Council of 27 Apri l, which\n               underlined the

part of a widespread or systematic attack against civilian\n               populations, can significantly exacerbate and prolong situations of armed conflict\n               and may impede the

need, inter alia, to invest\n               more in conflict prevention and women’s empowerment, and further emphasizing\n               that persisting barriers to the full implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) will\n               only be dismantled through dedicated commitment to women’s participation and\n               human rights, and through concerted leadership, consistent informatio n and action,\n               and support, to build women’s engagement in all levels of decision -making,\n                    Reiterating the important engagement by men and boys as

the changing global context of peace and security, in particular relating\n               to rising violent extremism, which can be conducive to terrorism, the increased\n               numbers of refugees and internally displaced persons, the impac ts of climate change\n               and the global nature of health pandemics, and in this regard reiterating its intention\n               to increase attention to women, peace and security as a cross -cutting subject in all\n               relevant thematic areas of work on its agenda, including threa ts to international\n               peace and security caused by terrorist acts,\n                     Recognizing the differential impact on the human rights of women and girls of\n               terrorism and violent extremism, including in the context of their health, education,\n               and participation in public life, and that they are often directly targeted by terrorist\n               groups, and expressing deep concern that acts of sexual and gender-based violence\n               are known to be part of the strategic objectives and ideology of certain terrorist\n               groups, used as a tactic of terrorism, and an instrument to increase their power\n               through supporting financing, recruitment, and the destruction of communities, as\n               described in the Secretary-General’s Report on Sexual Violence in Conflict of\n\n\n\n\n2/7                                                                                                       15-17716\n\n

    Forum’s good practices on Women and Countering Violent Extremism,\n                 Recognizing the significance of the fifteen-year anniversary of resolution 1325\n           (2000), the progress made as well as the opportunity and need for far greater\n           implementation of the women, peace and security agenda, remaining deeply\n           concerned by the frequent under-representation of women in many formal processes\n           and bodies related to the maintenance of international peace and security, the\n           relatively low number of women in senior positions in political, peace and security -\n           related national, regional and international institutions, the lack of adequate gendersensitive humanitarian responses and support for women’s leadership roles in these\n           settings, insufficient financing for women, peace and security, and the resulting\n           detrimental impact on the maintenance of international peace and security,\n                Recognizing the important contribution of civil society, including women’s\n           organizations, during the last fifteen years in the implementation of resolution 1325,\n                Recognizing the new Global Acceleration Instrument on women’s engage ment\n           in peace and security and humanitarian affairs, in addition to existing\n           complementary mechanisms, as one avenue to attract resources, coordinate\n           responses and accelerate implementation,\n                 1.

Urges the Secretary-General and relevant United Nations entities,\n               including but not limited to the Department for Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO),\n               the Department for Political Affairs (DPA), and the Peacebuilding Support Office\n               (PBSO) to redouble their efforts to integrate women’s needs and gender\n               perspectives into their work, including in all policy and planning processes and\n               assessment missions, and in relation to requests made in resolution 2122 (2013), and\n               to address deficits in accountability including through the addition by the Secretary -\n               General of gender targets as an indicator of individual performance in all compacts\n               with senior managers at United Nations Headquarters and in the field, including\n               Special Envoys, Special Representatives of the Secretary-General, Resident and\n               Humanitarian Coordinators, to be used for monitoring and to inform decision -\n               making by the Secretary-General, including for recruiting for future posts, and\n               further encourages closer working relationships within the United Nations among\n               all those responsible for implementing the women, peace and security agenda,\n               including UN-Women, taking into account their role on women, peace and security\n               coordination and accountability, and the Secretary-General’s Special Representative\n               on Sexual Violence in Conflict;\n                     5.    Recognizes the ongoing need for greater integration of resolution 1325\n               (2000) in its own work in alignment with resolution 2122 (2013), including the need\n               to address challenges linked to the provision of specific information and\n               recommendations on the gender dimensions of situations on the Council’s agenda,\n               to inform and help strengthen the Council’s decisions, and therefore in addition to\n               elements set out in resolution 2122 (2013), and in accordance with established\n               practice and procedure:\n                     (a) Expresses its intention to convene meetings of relevant Security Council\n               experts as part of an Informal Experts Group on Women, Peace and Security to\n               facilitate a more systematic approach to Women, Peace and Security within its own\n               work and enable greater oversight and coordination of implementation efforts;\n                     (b) Decides to integrate women, peace and security concerns across all\n               country-specific situations on the Security Council’s agenda, taking into account the\n               specific context of each country, expresses its intention to dedicate periodic Security\n               Council consultations on country situations, as necessary, to the topic of Women,\n               Peace and Security implementation, progress and challenges, and reiterates its\n               intention to ensure Security Council missions take into account gender\n               considerations and the rights of women, including through consultation with local\n               and international women’s groups;\n                    (c) Expresses its intention to invite civil society, including women’s\n               organizations, to brief the Council in country-specific considerations and relevant\n               thematic areas, as well as the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director of\n               UN-Women and the Under-Secretary-General/Special Representative of the\n\n\n4/7                                                                                                      15-17716\n\n                                                                                               S/RES/2242 (2015)\n\n\n           Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict to brief more regularly on country\n           situations and relevant thematic areas of work on its agenda including on matters of\n           urgency for women and girls in conflict and crisis;\n                 6.

facilitate the custody and prosecution of suspected pirates after their\n               capture has hindered more robust international action against pirates off the coast of\n               Somalia, too often has led to pirates being released without facing justice,\n               regardless of whether there is sufficient evidence to support prosecution, and\n               reiterating that, consistent with the provisions of The Convention concerning the\n               repression of piracy, the 1988 Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts\n               Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation (“SUA Convention”) provides for parties\n               to create criminal offences, establish jurisdiction, and accept delivery of persons\n               responsible for, or

2013\n               press statement as “the decision by the Ngok Dinka to conduct a unilateral\n               referendum” and also in this context, taking note that the Government of Sudan\n               proceeded with its April 2015 national elections in Abyei,\n                    Taking note of the information in the 13 November 2015 Secretary-General’s\n               report (S/2015/870)

reintegration of displaced persons, and of peaceful and orderly migration cycles\n               respecting the traditional migratory routes from Sudan to South Sudan through\n               Abyei,

(2013), and expressing grave concern at the\n               threat to peace and security in Abyei arising from the illicit transfer, destabilizing\n               accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons, and in this regard,\n               welcoming UNISFA’s progress on completing infrastructure, systems, and policy for\n               weapons confiscation, storage and destruction,\n                    Expressing concern about the residual threat of landmines and explosive\n               remnants of war in the Abyei Area, which hinders the safe return of displaced\n               persons to their homes, safe migration, and livelihood activities,\n                    Taking note of the 11 September 2015 and 13 November 2015 Secretary-General’s reports

and translate into a sustainable improvement of\n               border security, and the recommendations contained therein,\n                    Recognizing that the current situation in Abyei and along the border between\n               the Sudan and South Sudan continues to constitute a serious threat to international\n               peace and security,\n                     1.   Decides to extend until 15 May 2016 the mandate of the United Nations\n               Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) as set out in paragraph 2 of resolution\n               1990 (2011) and modified by resolution 2024 (2011) and paragraph 1 of resolution\n               2075 (2012), and acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n               further decides to extend until 15 May 2016 the tasks of UNISFA as set out in\n               paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011), and determines that for the purposes of\n               paragraph 1 of resolution 2024 (2011), support to the operational activities of the\n               JBVMM shall include support to the Ad Hoc Committees, as appropriate when so\n               requested by consensual decisions of these mechanisms, within UNISFA’s\n               operational area and existing capabilities;\n                    2.    Takes note of the stated intention by both sides to hold another AJOC\n               meeting, regrets the meeting has not yet taken place, and urges the swift resumption\n\n\n4/8                                                                                                     15-22187\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/2251 (2015)\n\n\n           of regular meetings to ensure steady progress on the implementation of the 20 June\n           2011 Agreement, including the implementation of the AJOC decisions, welcomes\n           African Union initiatives to support this goal and encourages its continued\n           engagement, and requests the Secretary-General to provide an assessment of\n           progress on these issues in his regular reports;\n                 3.    Underscores that continued cooperation between the Government of\n           Sudan and Government of South Sudan is also critical for peace, security and\n           stability and the future relations between them;\n                4.    Further reiterates its demand that Sudan and South Sudan urgently\n           commence the establishment of the Abyei Area Administration and Council,\n           including by resolving the deadlock over the composition of the Council, and\n           constitute the Abyei Police Service, to enable it to take over policing functions\n           throughout the Abyei Area, including the protection of oil infrastructure, in\n           accordance with their commitments in the 20 June 2011 Agreement;\n                 5.   Expresses renewed concern regarding the delays and stalled efforts to\n           fully operationalize the JBVMM, takes note of the Secretary-General’s benchmarks\n           and recommendations regarding JBVMM operations, takes note that continued\n           investment in achieving full operational capability of the JBVMM should be based\n           on a set of conditions, including resolution of the dispute over the SDBZ,\n           resumption of border demarcation discussions, occurrence of regular meetings of\n           the JPSM, and granting of full freedom of movement, and calls on both parties to\n           demonstrate full commitment to implementation of their border arrangements and\n           take the necessary steps to this effect, including by swiftly holding a new meeting of\n           the JPSM to take the operational decisions related to their agreement on the SDBZ;\n                 6.    Decides to maintain the troops authorized by resolution 2104 (2013)\n           already deployed, and that the remaining authorized forces continue to be deployed\n           dependent on the evolution of the JBVMM, to enable UNISFA to provide required\n           force protection to the JBVMM and to enable UNISFA to fully support the JBVMM\n           to conduct extended operations into the SDBZ as soon as possibl e, and requests the\n           Secretary-General to keep the Council fully updated on the status of deployment as\n           part of his regular reporting cycle;\n                 7.  Calls upon the Government of Sudan and the Government of South\n           Sudan to make timely and effective use of the JBVMM, JPSM and other agreed\n           joint mechanisms to ensure the security and transparency of the SDBZ, including\n           the “14 Mile Area”;\n                 8.    Urges renewed efforts to determine conclusively the SDBZ centreline on\n           the ground, and reiterates that the centreline of the SDBZ in no way prejudices the\n           current or future legal status of the border, ongoing negotiations on the disputed and\n           claimed areas, and demarcation of the borders;\n                9.    Underscores that UNISFA’s protection of civilians mandate as set out in\n           paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011) includes taking the necessary actions to\n           protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence, irrespective of the\n           source of such violence;\n                 10. Condemns the intermittent presence of South Sudan security service\n           personnel and the deployment of Diffra Oil Police units in the Abyei Area, in\n           violation of the 20 June 2011 agreement, as well as any entry of armed militias into\n\n\n\n15-22187                                                                                                     5/8\n\nS/RES/2251 (2015)\n\n\n               the territory, and reiterates its demands that immediately and without preconditions\n               the Government of South Sudan fully redeploy its security service personnel from\n               the Abyei Area and that the Government of Sudan redeploy the Oil Police in Diffra\n               from the Abyei Area, and further reiterates, in accordance with relevant resolutions,\n               in particular resolution 1990 (2011) and resolution 2046 (2012), that the Abyei Area\n               shall be demilitarized from any forces, as well as armed elements of the local\n               communities, other than UNISFA and the Abyei Police Service;\n                     11. Supports the AJOC’s 3 May 2013 and 30 March 2015 decisions on\n               Abyei’s status as a weapons-free area, underscores the AUPSC’s concern in its\n               7 May 2013 Communiqué over reports that various communities living in Abyei are\n               heavily armed, recalls that the 20 June 2011 Agreement on Temporary Arrangements\n               for the Administration and Security of the Abyei Area stipulates that Abyei should\n               be a weapons-free area and that only UNISFA is authorized to carry weapons inside\n               the area, and in this regard, urges the two Governments to take all necessary steps to\n               ensure that Abyei is effectively demilitarized, including through disarmament\n               programs as necessary;\n                     12. Reaffirms that UNISFA may undertake weapons confiscation and\n               destruction in the Abyei Area as authorized under resolution 1990 (2011), consistent\n               with its mandate and within its existing capabilities, in coordination with the\n               signatories of the June 2011 Agreement on the Temporary Arrangements for the\n               Administration and Security of the Abyei Area, the AJOC, and the Misseriya and\n               Ngok Dinka communities and consistent with the previous AJOC decision to\n               establish the Area as a “weapons free area”, and reiterates its request that UNISFA,\n               observe, document and report on the movement of weapons into Abyei and the\n               presence, destruction and confiscation of weapons within Abyei as part of the\n               Secretary-General’s regular reporting cycle;\n                     13.

Expresses its intention to review as appropriate the mandate of UNISFA\n           for possible reconfiguration of the force in light of the compliance by Sudan and\n           South Sudan with the decisions set forth in resolution 2046 (2012) and their\n           commitments as set forth in the Agreements of 20 June, 29 June, 30 July 2011 and\n           27 September 2012, including the redeployment of all forces from the SDBZ,\n           achieving full operational capability for the JVBMM, and the Ad Hoc Committees,\n           as well as completing the full demilitarization of the Abyei Area;\n                19.

implementation,\n                    Welcoming the appointment of former President of Botswana Festus Mogae as\n               Chair of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (JMEC), and the

            underscoring the importance of their participation — and that of other political\n               parties — in implementing the Agreement,\n                     Recalling its resolution

defence of the mandate, recognizing that the mandate of\n               each peacekeeping mission is specific to the need and situation of the country\n               concerned, and underlining in this regard, that the basic principles are consistent\n               with the mandates that the Security Council authorizes that seek to tack le new\n               challenges faced by peacekeeping operations, such as force protection and safety\n               and security, protection of civilians, and asymmetric threats, and that the Security\n               Council expects full delivery of the mandates it authorizes,\n                    Reiterating its grave alarm and concern regarding the political, security,\n               economic, and humanitarian crisis in South Sudan, resulting from the internal Sudan\n               People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) political dispute, and subsequent violence\n               caused by the country’s political and military leaders since December 2013,\n                     Recognizing that the safe return of all parties to Juba and the implementation\n               of stable security arrangements in the capital during the

encouraging all\n               parties to continue their efforts at reconciliation and building a democratic state,\n                     Taking note with interest of the reports on the human rights

Commission\n               of Inquiry report on South Sudan and the Separate Opinion, and emphasizing its\n               hope that these and other credible reporting will be duly considered by any\n               transitional justice and reconciliation mechanisms for South Sudan including those\n               established in the Agreement,\n                     Expressing grave concern that according to some of these reports there are\n               reasonable grounds to believe that war crimes and crimes against humanity,\n               including those involving extrajudicial killings, rape and other acts of sexual\n               violence, enforced disappearances, the use of children in armed conflict, arbitrary\n               arrests and detention, and attacks on schools and hospitals have been committed by\n               both government and opposition forces, and noting that crimes involving these\n               actions threaten the peace, security and stability of South Sudan,\n                     Strongly condemning all human rights violations and abuses and violations of\n               international humanitarian law, including those involving

use of children, enforced disappearances, arbitrary arrests\n           and detention, violence aimed at spreading terror among the civilian population,\n           targeting of members of civil society, and attacks on schools, places of worship,\n           hospitals, and United Nations and associated peacekeeping personnel, by all parties,\n           including armed groups and national security forces, as well as the incitement to\n           commit such abuses and violations,\n                 Stressing the increasingly urgent need to end impunity in South Sudan and to\n           bring to justice all perpetrators of such crimes, and further stressing the importance\n           of accountability, reconciliation and healing in ending impunity and ensuring a\n           sustainable peace,\n                 Further condemning harassment and targeting of journalists, and the use of\n           media to broadcast hate speech and transmit messages instigating violence against a\n           particular ethnic group, a practice that has the potential to play a significant role in\n           promoting mass violence and exacerbating conflict, calling on the Government of\n           South Sudan to take all appropriate measures in order to deter such activity, and\n           further urging all parties to desist from these actions and instead contribute to\n           promoting peace and reconciliation among the communities,\n                 Emphasizing the importance of accountability for those responsible for\n           violations of international humanitarian law and violations and abuses of human\n           rights and that the Government of South Sudan bears the primary responsibility to\n           protect its populations from crimes against humanity, war crimes, ethni c cleansing,\n           and genocide,\n                 Expressing serious and urgent concern over the approximately 2.4 million\n           displaced persons and deepening humanitarian crisis, stressing the responsibility\n           borne by all parties to the conflict for the suffering of the people of South Sudan,\n           and the necessity of ensuring that the basic needs of the population are met, and\n           commending United Nations humanitarian agencies, partners, and donors for their\n           efforts to provide urgent and coordinated support to the population,\n                 Recalling the need for all parties to the conflict to allow and facilitate, in\n           accordance with relevant provisions of international law and United Nations guiding\n           principles of humanitarian assistance, the full, safe and unhindered access of relief\n           personnel, equipment and supplies and timely delivery of humanitarian assistance,\n           to all those in need, in particular to internally displaced persons (IDPs) and\n           refugees,\n                 Condemning all attacks against humanitarian personnel and facilities,\n           including those that resulted in the deaths of at least 41 personnel since December\n           2013, and recalling that attacks against humanitarian personnel and depriving\n           civilians of objects indispensable to their survival may amount to violations of\n           international humanitarian law,\n                 Expressing its deep appreciation for the actions taken by UNMISS\n           peacekeepers and troop- and police-contributing countries to protect civilians,\n           including foreign nationals, under threat of physical violence and to stabilize the\n           security situation within and beyond UNMISS sites, recognizing the significant\n           resource and capacity challenges the Mission faces in implementing its mandate,\n           expressing appreciation for UNMISS’s efforts to support IDPs seeking protection\n           on its sites, while underlining the necessity to find sustainable solutions for IDPs\n           including in alternative safe and secure locations, and in keeping with the Guiding\n\n\n15-22191

through proactive deployment and patrolling, to areas of\n               displacement, return, and resettlement,\n                    Reaffirming that sustainable peace requires an integrated approach based on\n               coherence between political, security, development, human rights, including gender\n               equality, rule of law, and justice and reconciliation activities and, in this regard,\n               emphasizing the importance of the rule of law as one of the key elements of conflict\n               prevention, peacekeeping, conflict resolution and peacebuilding,\n                     Emphasizing that individuals or entities responsible for or complicit in, or\n               having engaged in, directly or indirectly, actions or policies that threaten the peace,\n               security or stability of South Sudan, may be designated for targeted sanctions\n               pursuant to resolution 2206 (2015), recalling its willingness to impose targeted\n               sanctions and noting with interest the 26 September 2015 communiqué of the\n               African Union Peace and Security Council expressing its determination to impose\n               measures against all those who impede implementation of the Agreement,\n                     Emphasizing that persistent barriers to full implementation of resolution 1325\n               (2000), and subsequent resolutions on women, peace, and security including 2242\n               (2015), will only be dismantled through dedicated commitment to women’s\n               empowerment, participation, and human rights, and through concerted leadership,\n               consistent information and action, and support, to build women’s engagement in all\n               levels of decision-making,\n                    Expressing deep concern at persistent restrictions placed upon the movement\n               and operations of UNMISS, including through repeated violations of the Status of\n               Forces Agreement (SOFA) and blocking the deployment of essential assets and\n               enablers, and underscoring the importance of close cooperation and communication\n               between UNMISS and the Government of South Sudan in addressing these issues,\n                     Strongly condemning the attacks by government and opposition forces and\n               other groups on United Nations and IGAD personnel and facilities, including the\n               December 2012 downing of a United Nations helicopter by the SPLA, the April\n               2013 attack on a United Nations convoy, the December 2013 attack on the UNMISS\n               camp in Akobo, the August 2014 shooting down of a United Nations helicopter by\n               unidentified armed groups, the August 2014 arrest and detention of an IGAD\n               monitoring and verification team, the October 2015 seizure and detention of\n               UNMISS personnel and equipment in Upper Nile State by opposition forces, the\n               detention and kidnappings of United Nations and associated personnel, the repeated\n               attacks on the UNMISS camps in Bor, Bentiu, Malakal and Melut, and the\n               disappearance purportedly caused by SPLA forces, and deaths of three United\n               Nations-affiliated national staff and one national contractor in Upper Nile State,\n               and, calling upon the Government of South Sudan to complete its investigations of\n               these attacks in a swift and thorough manner and to hold those responsible to\n               account,\n                     Reiterating its request that UNMISS take additional measures, as appropriate,\n               to ensure the security of its air operations in South

Underscores the importance of the Office of the Ombudsperson, and\n               requests the Secretary-General to continue to strengthen the capacity of the Office\n               of the Ombudsperson by providing necessary resources, including for translation\n               services, as appropriate, and to make the necessary arrangements to ensure its\n               continued ability to carry out its mandate in an independent, effective and timely\n               manner, and to provide the Committee an update on actions taken in six months;\n                    60.

Strongly urges Member States and relevant international organizations\n               and bodies to encourage individuals and entities that are considering challenging or\n               are already in the process of challenging their listing through national and regional\n               courts to first seek removal from the ISIL (Da’esh) & Al-Qaida Sanctions List by\n               submitting delisting petitions to the Office of the Ombudsperson;\n                     62. Notes the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) international standards\n               and, inter alia, best practices relating to targeted financial sanctions, as referenced in\n               paragraph 21 of this resolution;\n                    63.

Also recalls its decision that the Committee may, by consensus, shorten\n           the 60-day period referred to in paragraph 63 on a case-by-case basis;\n                 65. Further recalls its decision that, for purposes of submitting a delisting\n           request in paragraph 63, consensus must exist between or among all designating\n           States in cases where there are multiple designating States; and further recalls its\n           decision that co-sponsors of listing requests shall not be considered designating\n           States for purposes of paragraph 63;\n                 66. Strongly urges designating States to allow the Ombudsperson to reveal\n           their identities as designating States to those listed i ndividuals and entities that have\n           submitted delisting petitions to the Ombudsperson;\n                 67. Directs the Committee to continue to work, in accordance with its\n           guidelines, to consider delisting requests of Member States for the removal from the\n           ISIL (Da’esh) & Al-Qaida Sanctions List of individuals, groups, undertakings and\n           entities that are alleged to no longer meet the criteria established in the relevant\n           resolutions, and set out in paragraph 2 of this resolution, and strongly urges Member\n           States to provide reasons for submitting their delisting requests;\n                 68. Encourages States to submit delisting requests for individuals that are\n           officially confirmed to be dead, and for entities reported or confirmed to have\n           ceased to exist, while at the same time taking all reasonable measures to ensure that\n           assets that had belonged to these individuals or entities will not be transferred or\n           distributed to other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities on the ISIL\n           (Da’esh) & Al-Qaida Sanctions List or any other Security Council sanctions list;\n                 69. Encourages Member States, when unfreezing the assets of a deceased\n           individual or an entity that is reported or confirmed to have ceased to exist as a\n           result of a delisting, to recall the obligations set forth in resolution 1 373 (2001) and,\n           particularly, to prevent unfrozen assets from being used for terrorist purposes;\n                 70. Reaffirms that, prior to the unfreezing of any assets that have been frozen\n           as a result of the listing of Usama bin Laden, Member States shall submit to the\n           Committee a request to unfreeze such assets and shall provide assurances to the\n           Committee that the assets will not be transferred, directly or indirectly, to a listed\n           individual, group, undertaking or entity, or otherwise used for terrorist purposes in\n           line with Security Council resolution 1373 (2001), and decides further that such\n           assets may only be unfrozen in the absence of an objection by a Committee member\n           within thirty days of receiving the request, and stresses the exceptional nature of\n           this provision, which shall not be considered as establishing a precedent;\n\n\n\n15-22456                                                                                                       15/28\n\nS/RES/2253 (2015)\n\n\n                     71. Calls upon the Committee when considering delisting requests to give\n               due consideration to the opinions of designating State(s), State(s) of residence,\n               nationality, location or incorporation, and other relevant States as determined by the\n               Committee, directs Committee members to provide their reasons for objecting to\n               delisting requests at the time the request is objected to, and requests the Committee\n               to provide reasons to relevant Member States and national and regional courts and\n               bodies, upon request and where appropriate;\n                     72. Encourages all Member States, including designating States and States\n               of residence, nationality, location or incorporation to provide all information to the\n               Committee relevant to the Committee’s review of delisting petitions, and to meet\n               with the Committee, if requested, to convey their views on delisting requests, and\n               further encourages the Committee, where appropriate, to meet with representatives\n               of national or regional organizations and bodies that have relevant information on\n               delisting petitions;\n                     73. Confirms that the Secretariat shall, within three days after a name is\n               removed from the ISIL (Da’esh) & Al-Qaida Sanctions List, notify the Permanent\n               Mission of the State(s) of residence, nationality, location or incorporation (to the\n               extent this information is known), and recalls its decision that States receiving such\n               notification shall take measures, in accordance with their domestic laws and\n               practices, to notify or inform the concerned individual, group, undertaking or entity\n               of the delisting in a timely manner;\n                     74. Reaffirms that, in cases in which the Ombudsperson is unable to\n               interview a petitioner in his or her state of residence, the Ombudsperson may\n               request, with the agreement of the petitioner, that the Committee consider granting\n               exemptions to the restrictions on assets and travel in paragraphs 2 (a) and (b) of this\n               resolution for the sole purpose of allowing the petitioner to meet travel expenses\n               and travel to another State to be interviewed by the Ombudsperson for a period no\n               longer than necessary to participate in this interview, provided that all States of\n               transit and destination do not object to such travel, and further directs the\n               Committee to notify the Ombudsperson of the Committee’s decision;\n\n               Exemptions/Focal Point\n                     75.

Republic and scrupulously\n               observe the ceasefire,\n                     Concurring with the Secretary-General’s findings that the ongoing military\n               activities conducted by any actor in the area of separation continue to have the\n               potential to escalate tensions between Israel and the Syrian Arab Republic,\n               jeopardize the ceasefire between

minimize the security risk to UN personnel as UNDOF continues\n               to implement its mandate, while emphasizing that the ultimate goal is for the\n               peacekeepers to return to their positions in UNDOF’s area of operations as soon as\n               practicable,\n                    Emphasizing the importance of Security Council and Troop Contributing\n               Countries having access to reports and information related to UNDOF’s current\n               temporary configuration, and reinforcing that such information assists the Security\n               Council with evaluating, mandating, and reviewing UNDOF and with effective\n               consultation with Troop Contributing Countries,\n                    Underscoring the need for UNDOF to have

military and civilian\n               personnel, including those from Observer Group Golan, for their service and\n               continued contribution, in an increasingly challenging operating environment,\n               underscoring the important contribution UNDOF’s continued presence makes to\n               peace and security in the Middle East, welcoming steps taken to enhance the safety\n               and security of UNDOF, including Observer Group Golan, personnel, and stressing\n               the need for continued vigilance to ensure the safety and security of UNDOF and\n               Observer Group Golan personnel,\n                    Strongly condemning incidents threatening the safety and security of United\n               Nations personnel in recent months,\n                     Expressing its appreciation to UNDOF for the efforts made to upgrade and\n               expand its positions on Mount Hermon, including the establishment of a new\n               position.\n                    1.   Calls upon the parties concerned to implement immediately its resolution\n               338 (1973) of 22 October 1973;\n                     2.   Stresses the obligation on both parties to scrupulously and fully respect\n               the terms of the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement, calls on the parties to\n               exercise maximum restraint and prevent any breaches of the ceasefire and the area\n               of separation, encourages the parties to take advantage of UNDOF’s liaison\n               function regularly to address issues of mutual concern, as appropriate, and\n               underscores that there should be no military activity of any kind in the area of\n               separation, including military operations by the Syrian Arab Armed Forces;\n                    3.    Underlines that there should be no military activity of the armed\n               opposition groups in the area of separation, and urges Member States to convey\n\n\n2/3                                                                                                      15-22718\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/2257 (2015)\n\n\n           strongly to the Syrian armed opposition groups in UNDOF’s area of operations to\n           halt all activities that endanger United Nations peacekeepers on the ground and to\n           accord the United Nations personnel on the ground the freedom to carry out their\n           mandate safely and securely;\n                4.    Calls on all groups other than UNDOF to abandon all UNDOF positions\n           and the Quneitra crossing point, and return the peacekeepers’ vehicles, weapons,\n           and other equipment;\n                5.     Calls on all parties to cooperate fully with the operations of UNDOF, to\n           respect its privileges and immunities and to ensure its freedom of movement, as\n           well as the security of and unhindered and immediate access for the United Nations\n           personnel carrying out their mandate, including the unimpeded delivery of UNDOF\n           equipment and the temporary use of alternative ports of entry and departure, as\n           required, to ensure safe and secure troop rotation and re supply activities, in\n           conformity with existing agreements, and urges prompt reporting by the Secretary-General to the Security Council and troop-contributing countries of any actions that\n           impede UNDOF’s ability to fulfil its mandate;\n                 6.   Recognizes the need to put in place efficient temporary procedures for\n           UNDOF personnel crossing between the Alpha and Bravo sides in the absence of\n           the established crossing at Quneitra, and in this regard, calls on the parties to\n           constructively engage with UNDOF, with the understanding that the Quneitra\n           crossing will be re-opened as soon as security conditions permit;\n                 7.   Welcomes the efforts being undertaken by the United Nations\n           Disengagement Observer Force to implement the Secretary-General’s zero-tolerance\n           policy on sexual exploitation and abuse and to ensure full compliance of its\n           personnel with the United Nations code of conduct, requests the Secretary -General\n           to continue to take all necessary action in this regard and to keep the Security\n           Council informed, and urges troop-contributing countries to take preventive and\n           disciplinary action to ensure that such acts are properly investigated and punished in\n           cases involving their personnel;\n                8.

Further requests that the next report of the Secretary-General provide an\n           assessment of UNDOF’s equipment, resources, and requirements with respect to\n           maximizing the force’s effectiveness in its current temporary configuration, as well\n           as UNDOF’s strategy for augmenting these capabilities should a return to vacated\n           positions in the area of separation become possible.\n\n\n\n\n15-22718                                                                                                     3/3\n", "text_length": 10585, "title": "Security Council resolution 2257 (2015) [on renewal of the mandate of the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) until 30 June 2016]", "agenda_information": "S/70 [55] UN DISENGAGEMENT OBSERVER FORCE\nS/70 [54] MIDDLE EAST SITUATION", "subjects": "UN Disengagement Observer Force|PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS|TRUCE SUPERVISION|MIDDLE EAST SITUATION", "vote_yes": 15, "vote_no": 0, "vote_abstention": 0, "vote_total": 15, "is_unanimous": true, "voting_countries": [{"country": "ANGOLA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "CHAD", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "CHILE", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "CHINA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "FRANCE", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "JORDAN", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "LITHUANIA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "MALAYSIA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "NEW ZEALAND", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "NIGERIA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "RUSSIAN FEDERATION", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "SPAIN", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "UNITED KINGDOM", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "UNITED STATES", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "VENEZUELA (BOLIVARIAN REPUBLIC OF)", "vote": "yes"}], "has_veto": false, "vetoed_by": [], "p5_abstentions": 0, "chapter6": false, "chapter7": false, "chapter8": false, "peace_threat": false, "peace_breach": false, "aggression": false, "self_defence": false, "human_rights": false, "enforcement_level": "none", "m49_region": "Asia", "m49_region_sub": "Western Asia", "iso_alpha3": "ISR|SYR", "iso_name": "Israel|Syrian Arab Republic", "cited_resolutions": ["1308", "338", "2257"], "pdf_url_en": null, "meeting_record_url": null, "unified_id": 2462}

operation of the Mechanism, as set\n               out by resolution 1966 (2010), ends on 30 June 2016, and that the Mechanism shall\n               continue to operate for subsequent periods of two years following a review by the\n               Council of the progress of its work, unless the Council decides otherwise,\n                     Recalling its review of the progress of the work of the

Reiterates its request to the ICTY to complete its work and facilitate the\n               closure of the Tribunal as expeditiously as possible with the aim of completing the\n               transition to the Mechanism, and expresses its continued concern over repeated\n               delays in the conclusion of the Tribunal’s work, in light of resolution 1966 (2010),\n               which requested the Tribunal to complete its trial and appeals proceedings by\n               31 December 2014;\n                     4.

Renews its call on the ICTY, in light of resolution 1966 (2010), to\n           redouble its efforts to review its projected case completion dates with a view\n           towards shortening them as appropriate and to prevent any additional delays;\n                11.

Emphasizes that, in view of the substantially reduced nature of the\n               residual functions, the Mechanism was established to be a small, temporary and\n               efficient structure, whose functions and size will diminish over time, with a sma ll\n               number of staff commensurate with its reduced functions, and, recognizing in this\n               regard the full commitment to these elements expressed by the Mechanism, urges\n               the Mechanism to continue to be guided in its activities by these elements;\n                     17. Welcomes the report (S/2015/896) and supplementary information\n               submitted by the Mechanism to the Council pursuant to its Presidential Statement\n               (S/PRST/2015/21) for the purposes of the review of the progress of the work of the\n               Mechanism, including in completing its functions, as required by paragraph 17 of\n               resolution 1966 of 22 December 2010;\n                     18. Takes note of the work of the Mechanism to date, in particular\n               development of a legal and regulatory framework, procedures, and working\n               practices consistent with the Statute of the Mechanism and drawing on lessons\n               learned from and best practices of the ICTY and ICTR and of other tribunals,\n               including its implementation of the double-hatting of personnel, use of rosters to\n               ensure judges and staff are utilized only when required, enabling judges and staff to\n               work remotely to the maximum extent possible, and minimizing the need for full\n               bench participation in pre-trial and pre-appeal hearing work, in order to produce\n               substantial reductions in the costs of judicial activities compared to those of the\n               ICTY and ICTR, and commends the Mechanism for its efforts to produce such\n               reductions;\n                     19. Notes further the views and recommendations made with regard to the\n               Mechanism’s work by the Council’s Informal Working Group on International\n               Tribunals, as reflected in this resolution, and requests the Mechanism to take into\n               account those views and implement the recommendations, and to continue to take\n               steps, such as those referred to in paragraph 18, to further enhance efficiency and\n               effective and transparent management, in particular full implemen tation of the\n               outstanding recommendations of the OIOS; production of more focused projections\n               of completion timelines and disciplined adherence thereto, including by making the\n               best use of the diverse approaches of common law and civil law systems;\n               enhancement of the geographic diversity and gender balance of staff, while ensuring\n               continued professional expertise; implementation of a human resources policy\n               consistent with its temporary mandate; and further reduction of costs, including\n               through, but not limited to, flexible staff engagement;\n\n\n\n\n4/5                                                                                                    15-22712\n\n                                                                                              S/RES/2256 (2015)\n\n\n                 20. Further requests the Mechanism to include in its six-monthly reports to\n           the Council information on progress achieved in implementing this resolution, as\n           well as detailed information on the staffing of the Mechanism, respective workload\n           and related costs with breakdown by division and detailed projections of the\n           duration of residual functions based on available data;\n                21. Further notes the conclusion of the Council’s review of the progress of\n           the work of the Mechanism, including in completing its functions, during its initial\n           period, pursuant to resolution 1966 (2010);\n                22. Recalls, with a view to strengthening independent oversight of the\n           Mechanism, that, as set out in its Presidential Statement of 16 November 2015\n           (S/PRST/2015/21), future reviews carried out pursuant to paragraph 17 of resolution\n           1966 (2010) shall include evaluation reports sought from the OIOS with respect to\n           the methods and work of the Mechanism;\n                 23.

take all feasible\n               steps to protect civilians, and recalling in this regard its demand that all parties to\n               armed conflict comply fully with the obligations applicable to them under\n               international law related to the protection of civilians in armed conflict, including\n               journalists, media professionals and associated personnel,\n                     Strongly condemning the arbitrary detention and torture of individuals in Syria,\n               notably in prisons and detention facilities, as well as the kidnappings, abductions,\n               hostage taking and forced disappearances, and demanding the immediate end of these\n               practices and the release of all arbitrarily detained persons starting with women and\n               children, as well as sick, wounded and elderly people including United Nations and\n               humanitarian personnel and journalists,\n                     Recalling its strong condemnation in resolution 2175 (2014) of all forms of\n               violence and intimidation to which those participating in humanitarian operations are\n               increasingly exposed, as well as attacks on humanitarian convoys and acts of\n               destruction and looting of their assets, and its urging of all parties involved in an\n               armed conflict to promote the safety, security and freedom of movement of\n               humanitarian personnel, including medical personnel and humanitarian personnel\n               exclusively engaged in medical duties, and United Nations and

workers\n               operating in deeply challenging conditions, and urging all parties to take all\n               appropriate steps to ensure the safety and security of United Nations and associated\n               personnel, those of its specialized agencies, and all other personnel engaged in\n               humanitarian relief activities,\n\n\n\n\n2/5

(2015)\n\n\n                 Noting that, despite all the challenges, since the adoption of resolution 2165\n           (2014), the United Nations and their implementing partners continue to deliver life -\n           saving assistance to millions of people in need in Syria through humanitarian aid\n           delivered across borders, including the delivery of food assistance for over 2.4 million\n           people; non-food items for 1.6 million people; medical supplies for 4.1 million\n           treatments, and water and sanitation supplies for over 1.3 million people,\n                Deeply disturbed by the decline in the number of people reached with\n           humanitarian assistance in hard-to-reach and besieged areas, and expressing grave\n           alarm at the dire situation of the 393,700 civilians trapped in besieged areas in the\n           Syrian Arab Republic, and noting in this regard that in 2015, the United Nations has\n           only been able to reach 3.5 per cent of people in besieged areas with health assistance\n           and 0.7 per cent of people with food assistance per month,\n                 Expressing grave concern at all instances of hindrances to the effective delivery\n           of humanitarian assistance, noting that ISIL (also known as Daesh), ANF and all other\n           individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with Al-Qaida, are hindering\n           the effective delivery of humanitarian assistance, including to nearly half of the\n           people in hard-to-reach areas and over half of the people in besieged areas, and are\n           responsible for preventing aid delivery through deliberate interference and\n           obstruction,\n                 Expressing further grave concern at the continuing and growing impediments to\n           the delivery of humanitarian assistance across conflict lines, including through a\n           decline in convoy approvals by the Syrian authorities, and noting in this regard that as\n           of 31 October, only 27 out of the 91 inter-agency requests made in 2015 by the United\n           Nations had been approved in principle by the Syrian authorities, and that between\n           2013 and 2015, the percentage of inter-agency convoys approved in principle declined\n           from 65 per cent to 29 per cent,\n                  Expressing grave concern that access to medical care continues to be severely\n           restricted, and reiterating the need to respect the principle of medical neutrality,\n           facilitate free passage to all areas for medical personnel, equipment, transport and\n           supplies, including surgical items,\n                 Reaffirming the need to support the United Nations and their implementing\n           partners in their efforts to expand the delivery of humanitarian assistance to reach all\n           people in need in Syria, and further reaffirming its decision in resolution 2165 (2014)\n           that all Syrian parties to the conflict shall enable the immediate and unhindered\n           delivery of humanitarian assistance directly to people throughout Syria, by the United\n           Nations and their implementing partners, on the basis of United Nations assessments\n           of need and devoid of any political prejudices and aims, including by immediately\n           removing all impediments to the provision of humanitarian assistance,\n                 Expressing its interest in receiving more detailed information from the UN\n           Secretary-General on the delivery of humanitarian assistance by the United Nations\n           and their implementing partners, in accordance with UNSC Resolution 2165,\n                Expressing its appreciation for the work of the United Nations monitoring\n           mechanism in monitoring shipments and confirming their humanitarian nature, in\n           accordance with resolutions 2165 (2014) and 2191 (2014), and commending the\n           mechanism’s efforts in facilitating cross-border delivery of humanitarian aid by the\n           United Nations and their implementing partners,

possible, border crossings under resolution 2165 (2014),\n                     Recalling the need for all parties to respect the relevant provisions of\n               international humanitarian law and the United Nations guiding principles of\n               humanitarian emergency assistance, and emphasising the importance of upholding the\n               principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence in the provision of\n               humanitarian assistance, and recalling also the importance of humanitarian deliveries\n               reaching their intended beneficiaries,\n                     Noting the role that ceasefire agreements which are consistent with humanitarian\n               principles and international humanitarian law can play in facilitating the delivery of\n               humanitarian assistance in order to help save civilian lives, and welcoming in this\n               regard recent progress on ceasefire agreements in Syria that have benefited the\n               humanitarian situation,\n                     Expressing grave concern at the more than 4.2 million refugees, including more\n               than 3.2 million women and children, who have fled Syria as a result of ongoing\n               violence, and recognizing that the continued deterioration of the humanitarian\n               situation in Syria is further contributing to the movement of refugees and poses risks\n               to regional stability,\n                    Reiterating its deep appreciation for the significant and admirable efforts that\n               have been made by the countries of the region, notably Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq\n               and Egypt, to accommodate Syrian refugees, including the approximately 1.8 million\n               refugees who have fled Syria since the adoption of resolution 2139 (2014), and\n               mindful of the immense costs and social challenges incurred by these countries as a\n               consequence of the crisis,\n                      Noting with concern that the international response to the Syrian and regional\n               crisis continues to fall short of meeting the needs as assessed by host governments and\n               the United Nations, therefore urging once again all Member States, based on burden -\n               sharing principles, to support the United Nations and the countries of the region,\n               including by adopting medium and long-term responses to alleviate the impact on\n               communities, providing increased, flexible and predictable funding as well as\n               increasing resettlement efforts, and taking note in this regard of the Berlin\n               Communiqué of 28 October 2014, and welcoming the announcement of the Syria\n               Donors Conference in London, which will be generously hosted by the United\n               Kingdom, Germany, Norway, Kuwait and the United Nations in early February 2016,\n                     Noting with grave concern that impunity in Syria contributes to widespread\n               violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian\n               law, stressing the need to end impunity for these violations and abuses, and\n               re-emphasizing in this regard the need that those who have committed or are\n               otherwise responsible for such violations and abuses in Syria must be brought to\n               justice,\n                     Emphasizing that the humanitarian situation will continue to deteriorate further\n               in the absence of a political solution to the crisis,\n                     Determining that the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Syria continues to\n               constitute a threat to peace and security in the region,\n                     Underscoring that Member States are obligated under Article 25 of the Charter\n               of the United Nations to accept and carry out the Council’s decisions,\n\n\n4/5                                                                                                      15-22722\n\n

Demands that all parties, in particular the Syrian authorities, immediately\n           comply with their obligations under international law, including international\n           humanitarian law and international human rights law as applicable, and further\n           demands the full and immediate implementation of all the provisions of Security\n           Council resolutions 2139 (2014), 2165(2014), and 2191 (2014), and noting the\n           Presidential Statements of 2 October 2013 (S/PRST/2013/15), 24 April 2015\n           (S/PRST/2015/10) and 17 August 2015 (S/PRST/2015/15) and recalls that some of the\n           violations and abuses committed in Syria may amount to war crimes and crimes\n           against humanity;\n                2.    Decides to renew the decisions in paragraphs two and three of Security\n           Council resolution 2165 (2014) for a further period of twelve months, that is, u ntil\n           10 January 2017;\n                 3.    Requests the Syrian authorities to expeditiously respond to all requests for\n           cross-line deliveries submitted by the United Nations and their implementing partners,\n           and to give such requests positive consideration;\n                 4.    Reiterates that the situation will continue to deteriorate further in the\n           absence of a political solution to the Syrian conflict and emphasises the need to fully\n           implement the Geneva Communiqué of 30 June 2012 endorsed as annex II of its\n           resolution 2118 (2013), the Joint Statement on the outcome of the multilateral talks on\n           Syria in Vienna of 30 October 2015 and the Statement of the International Syria\n           Support Group (ISSG) of 14 November 2015;\n                5.     Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Council on the\n           implementation of this resolution, and on compliance by all relevant parties in Syria,\n           within the framework of its reporting on resolutions 2139 (2014), 2165 (2014) and\n           2191 (2014), and further requests the Secretary-General to include in his reports\n           overall trends in humanitarian access;\n                6.

the attacks\n               against United Nations peacekeepers, international forces and humanitarian\n               personnel; the continuous cycle of provocations and reprisals by armed groups, both\n               inside and outside of Bangui and denial of humanitarian access, com mitted by\n               armed elements, which continue to adversely affect the dire humanitarian situation\n

noting in this\n               regard the opening by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on\n               24 September 2014 of an investigation following the request of the

                             S/RES/2262 (2016)\n\n\n           authorities on alleged crimes committed since 2012 and welcoming the ongoing\n           cooperation by the CAR Transitional Authorities in this regard,\n                 Stressing the urgent and imperative need to end impunity in the CAR and to\n           bring to justice perpetrators of violations of international humanitarian law and of\n           violations or abuses of human rights, underlining in this regard the need to bolster\n           national accountability mechanisms and to further implement without delay the\n           7 August 2014 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Urgent Temporary\n           Measures, and the law promulgated in June 2015 to establish a national Special\n           Criminal Court to investigate and prosecute serious crimes committed in the CAR,\n           including by recruiting the necessary local and international staff,\n                Emphasizing that those engaging in or providing support for acts that\n           undermine undermining the peace, stability or security of the CAR, threatening or\n           impeding the transition process, or the political stabilization and reconciliation\n           process, targeting of civilians and attacking peacekeepers may meet criteria for\n           designation under sanctions as stated in this resolution,\n                Expressing grave concern at the findings of the Panel of Experts’ final report\n           of 21 December 2015 (S/2015/936) that armed groups continue to destabilize the\n           CAR and to pose a permanent threat to the peace, security and stability of the\n           country, including through the establishment of illegitimate parallel administrations,\n                Expressing concern that illicit trafficking, trade, exploitation and smuggling of\n           natural resources including gold, diamonds and wildlife has a negative impact in the\n           economy and the development of the country, and that it continues to threaten the\n           peace and stability of CAR,\n                Taking note of the Kimberley Process (KP) Administrative Decision on\n           Resumption of Exports of Rough Diamonds from the CAR, its annexed Operational\n           Framework, and the establishment of the KP Monitoring Team for CAR and\n           recognizing the extraordinary efforts of the CAR transitional authorities and the KP,\n           under the 2015 Chairmanship of Angola, to responsibly reintegrate CAR into the\n           global diamond trade,\n                Noting with concern the findings of the Panel of Experts’ final report that the\n           Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) remains active in the CAR, has established links to\n           other armed groups and is generating revenues from the exploitation and trade of\n           natural resources, including gold, diamonds and wildlife poaching,\n                 Noting with concern the ongoing transnational criminal activity in the region,\n           emphasizing the risk of the situation in the CAR providing a conducive environment\n           for further transnational criminal activity, such as that involving arms traffick ing\n           and the use of mercenaries as well as a potential breeding ground for radical\n           networks,\n                 Acknowledging in

to avoid any action, including violations of the military status quo, wh ich could lead\n               to an increase in tension, undermine the progress achieved so far, or damage the\n               goodwill on the island,\n                    Recalling the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the situation in the buffer\n               zone would be improved if both sides accepted the 1989 aide-memoire used by the\n               United Nations,\n                     Noting with regret that the sides are withholding access to the remaining\n               minefields in the buffer zone, and that demining in Cyprus must continue, noting the\n               continued danger posed by mines in Cyprus, noting also proposals and discussions\n               as well as positive initiatives

Commending the work of the Committee on Missing Persons, highlighting the\n               importance of intensifying its activities, and therefore the need to provide all\n               information required, noting that nearly half of all missing persons have yet to be\n               located and around 69% have yet to be identified, welcoming moves to allow the\n               Committee access to 30 additional suspected burial sites in military areas in north\n               Cyprus, urging the opening up of access to all areas expeditiously to allow the\n               Committee to carry out its work, and trusting that this process will promote\n               reconciliation between the communities,\n                     Agreeing that active participation of civil society groups, including women’s\n               groups, is essential to the political process and can contribute to making any future\n               settlement sustainable, recalling that women play a critically important role in peace\n               processes, welcoming all efforts to promote bicommunal contacts and events\n               including, inter alia, on the part of all United Nations bodies on

Further concerned that the delivery of humanitarian assistance, including\n               medical assistance, to populations in need is being obstructed by parties to armed\n               conflicts in many conflict situations,\n                    Recalling that under international humanitarian law, persons engaged in\n               medical activities shall not be compelled to perform acts or

resolve the dispute over the Abyei Area Council, and immediately establish the\n           Abyei Area Administration and Abyei Police Service,\n                Stressing that both countries and

its deep\n           appreciation for the work of the troop-contributing countries, and strongly\n           underscoring the unacceptability of any attack on UN personnel, including the\n           26 November 2015 attack that resulted in the death of a peacekeeper, and reiterating\n           that such attacks should be swiftly and thoroughly investigated, and that t hose\n           responsible should be held to account,\n                 Taking note of the security situation in the Abyei Area as characterized by the\n           15 April 2016 Secretary General’s report

strengthen community protection\n               committees, and to continue engaging with both governments on this is sue,\n                     Noting with concern the continued delay in establishing the temporary\n               institutions and resolving the final status of Abyei and that the continued threat of\n               intercommunal violence contributes to heightened tensions in the Abyei Area,\n               including those ongoing tensions that prevent UNISFA’s and other agencies’\n               Sudanese staff from returning to Abyei,\n                     Urging all parties to refrain from any unilateral action that could aggravate\n               intercommunal relations within the Abyei Area, expressing concern over the\n               continued implications of what the AUPSC described in their 6 November 2013\n               press statement as “the decision by the Ngok Dinka to conduct a unilateral\n               referendum” and also in this context, taking note that the Government of Sudan\n               proceeded with its April 2015 national elections in Abyei,\n                     Taking note of the information in the 15 April 2016 Secretary-General’s

situation in which humanitarian\n               actors continue to provide assistance to 139,000 people in the Abyei Area and the\n               importance of coherence of United Nations assistance in the region, and further\n               stressing the urgency of facilitating the delivery of humanitarian assistance to all\n               affected populations,\n                     Affirming the importance of voluntary, safe, dignified return and sustainable\n               reintegration of displaced persons, and of peaceful and orderly migration cycles\n               respecting the traditional migratory routes from Sudan to South Sudan through\n               Abyei, and urging UNISFA to continue to take measures as necessary to ensure\n               security in the Abyei Area in accordance with its mandate,\n                     Recalling its resolution 2117 (2013), and expressing grave co ncern at the\n               threat to peace and security in Abyei arising from the illicit transfer, destabilizing\n               accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons, welcoming the\n               completion of infrastructure, systems, and policy for weapons confiscation, storage\n               and destruction, and calling on UNISFA to ensure adequate protection of this\n               infrastructure,\n                    Expressing concern about the residual threat of landmines and explosive\n               remnants of war in the Abyei Area, which hinders the safe return of displaced\n               persons to their homes, safe migration, and livelihood activities,\n                     Taking note of the 15 April 2016 Secretary-General’s Reports (S/2016/353),\n               including the Secretary-General’s call on the parties to renew efforts to addres s the\n               issues that have remained unresolved, implement the 20 June 2011 Abyei\n               Agreement, and ensure full and permanent withdrawal of all unauthorized forces\n               from the Abyei Area,\n\n\n\n\n4/8                                                                                                     16-07752\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/2287 (2016)\n\n\n                 Recalling that the Security Council welcomed in resolution 2205 (2015) the\n           decision of the Secretary-General to appoint a civilian head of mission,\n                Recognizing that the current situation in Abyei and along the border between\n           the Sudan and South Sudan continues to constitute a serious threat to international\n           peace and security,\n                 1.    Decides to extend until 15 November 2016 the mandate of the United\n           Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) as set out in paragraph 2 of\n           resolution 1990 (2011) and modified by resolution 2024 (2011) and paragraph 1 of\n           resolution 2075 (2012), and acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United\n           Nations, further decides to extend until 15 November 2016 the tasks of UNISFA as\n           set out in paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011), and determines that for the\n           purposes of paragraph 1 of resolution 2024 (2011), support to the operational\n           activities of the JBVMM shall include support to the Ad Hoc Committees, as\n           appropriate when so requested by consensual decisions of these mechanisms, within\n           UNISFA’s operational area and existing capabilities;\n                  2.   Takes note of the stated intention by both sides to hold another AJOC\n           meeting, regrets the meeting has not yet taken place, and urges the holding of more\n           productive meetings to ensure steady progress on the implementation of previous\n           AJOC decisions and the 20 June 2011 Agreement, and welcomes African Union\n           initiatives to support this goal and encourages its continued engagement, and\n           requests the Secretary-General to provide an assessment of progress on these issues\n           in his regular reports;\n                 3.    Underscores that continued cooperation between the Government of\n           Sudan and Government of South Sudan is also critical for peace, security and\n           stability and the future relations between them;\n                4.    Further reiterates its demand that Sudan and South Sudan urgently\n           commence the establishment of the Abyei Area Administration and Council,\n           including by resolving the deadlock over the composition of the Council, and\n           constitute the Abyei Police Service, to enable it to take over policing functions\n           throughout the Abyei Area, including the protection of oil infrastructure, in\n           accordance with their commitments in the 20 June 2011 Agreement;\n                 5.   Expresses renewed concern regarding the delays and stalled efforts to\n           fully operationalize the JBVMM, takes note of the Secretary-General’s benchmarks\n           and recommendations regarding JBVMM operations, takes note that continued\n           investment in achieving full operational capability of the JBVMM should be based\n           on a set of conditions, including resolution of the dispute over the SDBZ,\n           resumption of border demarcation discussions, occurrence of regular meetings of\n           the JPSM, and granting of full freedom of movement, and calls on both parties to\n           demonstrate full commitment to implementation of their border arrangements and\n           take the necessary steps to this effect, including by swiftly holding a new meeting of\n           the JPSM to take the operational decisions related to their agreement on the SDBZ;\n                 6.   Decides to maintain the troops authorized by resolution 2104 (2013)\n           already deployed, and that the remaining authorized forces continue to be deployed\n           dependent on the evolution of the JBVMM, to enable UNISFA to provide required\n           force protection to the JBVMM and to enable UNISFA to fully support the JBVMM\n           to conduct extended operations into the SDBZ as soon as possible, and requests the\n\n\n\n16-07752                                                                                                     5/8\n\nS/RES/2287 (2016)\n\n\n               Secretary-General to keep the Council fully updated on the status of deployment as\n               part of his regular reporting cycle;\n                     7.  Calls upon the Government of Sudan and the Government of South\n               Sudan to make timely and effective use of the JBVMM, JPSM and other agreed\n               joint mechanisms to ensure the security and transparency of the SDBZ, including\n               the “14 Mile Area”;\n                     8.    Urges renewed efforts to determine conclusively the SDBZ centreline on\n               the ground, and reiterates that the centreline of the SDBZ in no way prejudices the\n               current or future legal status of the border, ongoing negotiations on the disputed and\n               claimed areas, and demarcation of the borders;\n                    9.    Underscores that UNISFA’s protection of civilians mandate as set out in\n               paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011) includes taking the necessary actions to\n               protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence, irrespective of the\n               source of such violence;\n                     10. Condemns the intermittent presence of South Sudan security service\n               personnel and the deployment of Diffra Oil Police units in the Abyei Area, in\n               violation of the 20 June 2011 agreement, as well as any entry of armed militias into\n               the territory, and reiterates its demands that immediately and without preconditions\n               the Government of South Sudan fully redeploy its security service personnel from\n               the Abyei Area and that the Government of Sudan redeploy the Oil Police in Diffra\n               from the Abyei Area, and further reiterates, in accordance with relevant resolutions,\n               in particular resolution 1990 (2011) and resolution 2046 (2012), that the Abyei Area\n               shall be demilitarized from any forces, as well as armed elements of the local\n               communities, other than UNISFA and the Abyei Police Service;\n                    11. Supports the AJOC’s 3 May 2013 and 30 March 2015 decisions on\n               Abyei’s status as a weapons-free area, underscores the AUPSC’s concern in its\n               7 May 2013 Communiqué over reports that various communities living in Abyei are\n               heavily armed, recalls that the 20 June 2011 Agreement on Temporary\n               Arrangements for the Administration and Security of the Abyei Area stipulates that\n               Abyei should be a weapons-free area and that only UNISFA is authorized to carry\n               weapons inside the area, and in this regard, urges the two Governments to take all\n               necessary steps to ensure that Abyei is effectively demilitarized, including through\n               disarmament programs as necessary;\n                     12. Reaffirms that UNISFA may undertake weapons confiscation and\n               destruction in the Abyei Area as authorized under resolution 1990 (2011), consistent\n               with its mandate and within its existing capabilities, in coordination with the\n               signatories of the June 2011 Agreement on the Temporary Arrangements for the\n               Administration and Security of the Abyei Area, the AJOC, and the Misseriya and\n               Ngok Dinka communities and consistent with the previous AJOC decision to\n               establish the Area as a “weapons free area”, and reiterates its request that UNISFA,\n               observe, document and report on the movement of weapons into Abyei and the\n               presence, destruction and confiscation of weapons within Abyei as part of the\n               Secretary-General’s regular reporting cycle;\n                     13. Requests UNISFA to continue its dialogue with the AJOC and with the\n               Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities on effective strategies and oversight\n               mechanisms for ensuring full compliance by all relevant parties with Abyei’s status\n               as a weapons-free area, with a particular priority placed on the urgent elimination of\n\n\n6/8                                                                                                     16-07752\n\n                                                                                              S/RES/2287 (2016)\n\n\n           heavy or crew-served weapons, as well as rocket-propelled grenades, and calls upon\n           the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan, the AJOC, and the Misseriya and Ngok\n           Dinka communities to extend full cooperation to UNISFA in this regard;\n                14. Urges the two Governments immediately to take steps to implement\n           confidence-building measures among the respective communities in the Abyei Area,\n           including through reconciliation processes at the grass-roots level and supporting\n           UNISFA in promoting community dialogue, welcomes continued engagement\n           between the Ngok Dinka and Misseriya communities, and strongly urges all Abyei\n           communities to exercise maximum restraint in all their engagements and to desist\n           from inflammatory acts or statements that may lead to violent clashes;\n                 15. Welcomes UNISFA initiatives, to support community dialogue and efforts\n           by the Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities to strengthen inter -communal\n           relationships and facilitate stability and reconciliation in the Abyei Area;\n                16. Welcomes UNISFA’s continued efforts, within existing capabilities and\n           resources, and in close coordination with the Misseriya and Ngok Dinka\n           communities, to strengthen the capacities of Community Protection Committees in\n           order to assist with management of law and order processes in Abyei and t o\n           continue engaging with both governments on this issue;\n                 17. Calls upon all parties to cooperate fully with the findings and\n           recommendations following the Abyei Area Joint Investigation and Inquiry\n           Committee’s investigation into the killing of a UNISFA pe acekeeper and the Ngok\n           Dinka Paramount Chief, welcomes the 24 March 2015 AUPSC press statement\n           requesting the AU Commission to engage the parties on the findings and\n           recommendations, and reiterates the need to enable the two communities to find\n           closure on the assassination of the Ngok Dinka Paramount Chief, bearing in mind\n           the need to promote stability and reconciliation in the Abyei Area;\n                18. Expresses its intention to review as appropriate the mandate of UNISFA\n           for possible reconfiguration of the force in light of the compliance by Sudan and\n           South Sudan with the decisions set forth in resolution 2046 (2012) and their\n           commitments as set forth in the Agreements of 20 June, 29 June, 30 July 2011 and\n           27 September 2012, including the redeployment of all forces from the SDBZ,\n           achieving full operational capability for the J BVMM, and the Ad Hoc Committees,\n           as well as completing the full demilitarization of the Abyei Area;\n                19.

Renews its call upon the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan to\n           provide full support to the United Nations, including by promptly issuing visas to\n           military, police and civilian United Nations personnel, including humanitarian\n           personnel, without prejudice to their nationality, for entry into Sudan and South\n           Sudan, facilitating basing arrangements, infrastructure construction in the Mission\n           Area and flight clearances, and providing logistical support, calls upon the\n           Governments of Sudan and South Sudan to facilitate travel from within Sudan and\n           South Sudan to and from Abyei, and further calls upon all parties to fully adhere to\n           their obligations under the Status of Forces Agreements;\n\n\n16-07752                                                                                                   7/8\n\nS/RES/2287 (2016)\n\n\n                     21. Recognizes that the absence of development projects and the inability to\n               deliver basic government services has had an adverse effect on Abyei populations\n               and calls upon the Government of Sudan and the Government of South Sudan, as\n               well as donors to support reconstruction and capacity-building;\n                     22.

for the delivery of humanitarian assistance and protection,\n                     Commending United Nations humanitarian agencies and partners for their\n               efforts to provide urgent and

              military equipment after the signing of the Agreement and noting that such\n               acquisitions undermine the implementation of the Agreement by facilitating\n               violations of the permanent ceasefire,\n\n\n\n\n2/8                                                                                                       16-08713\n\n

severity of human\n               rights violations and abuses have increased with the continuation of hostilities, that\n               there continue to be reasonable grounds to believe that violations and abuses of\n               human rights, including those involving extrajudicial killings, rape and other acts of\n               sexual and gender-based violence, enforced disappearances, and arbitrary detention,\n               as well as violations of international humanitarian law have been committed, which\n               may amount to war crimes and/or crimes

Welcoming the release of the AU Commission of Inquiry (AU COI) report on\n               South Sudan and the Separate Opinion, and recognizing the AU COI’s work in\n               investigating and documenting violations and abuses of international human rights\n               law and violations of international humanitarian law in South Sudan and expressing\n               grave concern at the AU COI’s finding that it has reasonable grounds to believe that\n               war crimes such as murder, outrages upon personal dignity such as rape and other\n               acts of sexual violence, and cruel and degrading treatment, targeting of civilian\n               objects and protected property have occurred and that violations were carried out by\n               both sides to the conflict,\n                    Emphasizing its hope that this and other reporting will be considered, as\n               appropriate, by the mechanisms on transitional justice, accountability, reconciliation\n               and healing as called for in Chapter V of the Agreement, including the hybrid court\n               and the Commission for Truth, Healing, and Reconciliation, stressing the\n               importance of accountability, reconciliation, and healing among all South Sudanese\n               communities as prominent elements of a transitional agenda, while also taking note\n               of the important role international investigations, and where appropriate,\n               prosecutions can play with respect to holding those responsib le for war crimes and\n               crimes against humanity,\n                     Strongly condemning the use of media to broadcast hate speech and transmit\n               messages instigating sexual violence against a particular ethnic group, which has the\n               potential to play a significant role in promoting mass violence and exacerbating\n               conflict, and calling on the TGNU to take appropriate measures to address such\n               activity, and further urging all parties to desist from these actions and instead\n               contribute to promoting peace and reconciliation among the communities,\n                     Recognizing the important role played by civil society organizations, faith\n               leaders, women, and youth in South Sudan, underscoring the

Recognizes the need to put in place efficient and secure temporary\n           procedures for UNDOF personnel crossing between the Alpha and Bravo sides in\n           the absence of the established crossing at Quneitra, and in this regard, calls on the\n           parties to constructively engage with UNDOF, with the understanding that the\n           Quneitra crossing will be re-opened as soon as security conditions permit;\n               7.  Requests the Secretary-General to expedite preparations for the return of\n           an UNDOF presence to Camp Faouar, conditions permitting;\n                8.

Welcomes the efforts being undertaken by the United Nations\n           Disengagement Observer Force to implement the Secretary-General’s zero-tolerance\n           policy on sexual exploitation and abuse and to ensure full compliance of its\n           personnel with the United Nations code of conduct, requests the Secretary -General\n           to continue to take all necessary action in this regard and to keep the Security\n           Council informed, and urges troop-contributing countries to take preventive and\n           disciplinary action to ensure that such acts are properly investigated and punished in\n           cases involving their personnel;\n                11.

accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons, and the continued threats\n               to civilians posed by unexploded ordnance,\n                     Expressing deep concern at the

well as to guarantee UNAMID unimpeded freedom of movement in all areas and\n               at all times in Darfur in the exercise of its mandate, and further recalling the role of\n               the Implementation Follow-up Commission (IFC) in assessing the implementation\n               of the DDPD,\n                   Expressing concern that the continued denial of access and restrictions\n               imposed on humanitarian actors have left significant gaps in the delivery of\n               humanitarian assistance, calling on the Government of Sudan to ensure\n               humanitarian actors can operate in support of addressin g basic needs,\n                     Expressing concern at access restrictions and obstacles, including bureaucratic\n               obstacles, imposed on the United Nation-African Union Mission in Darfur\n               (UNAMID) which continue to jeopardise its ability to deliver on its mandate,\n               including access restrictions in North and Central Darfur which prevent access to\n               populations displaced by the fighting in Jebel Marra, welcoming the recent\n               clearance by the Government of Sudan of

be no military solution to the conflict in Darfur, and\n           that an inclusive political settlement is essential to re -establishing peace, and\n           underscoring the importance of fully addressing the root causes of the conflict in\n           the search for a sustainable peace, which should rapidly deliver real benefits for the\n           Darfuri people, in this regard reiterating its support for the DDPD as a viable\n           framework for the peace process in Darfur, and for its accelerated implementation,\n           as well as the AU High-Level Implementation Panel

 Recalling the statements made by the Secretary-General and the Chairperson\n           of the African Union Commission, which welcome the signing by the Gov ernment\n           of Sudan of the

       Noting that UNAMID’s ability to facilitate progress in implementation of the\n           DDPD is hampered by delays and the absence of an inclusive political settlement\n           between the Government and non-signatory movements, urging the signatory parties\n           to take the necessary remaining steps to implement the DDPD fully, expressing\n           concern that the humanitarian and security situation, as well as the lack of capacity\n           of the regional authorities in Darfur, hinder the transition from relief to stabilization\n           and development activities, urging the Government of Sudan, with the support of\n           interested donors, to ensure that the outstanding work of the Darfur Regional\n           Authority and the Commissions are properly

increased flexibility and compromise in order to secure it, to both\n               communities well in advance of any referenda,\n                     Highlighting the importance, both political and

posed by mines in Cyprus, noting also proposals and discussions\n               as well as positive initiatives on demining, and urging rapid agreement on\n               facilitating the

Cyprus, urging the opening up of access to all areas expeditiously to allow the\n               Committee to carry out its work, and trusting that this process will promote\n               reconciliation between the communities,\n                     Agreeing that active participation of civil society groups, including women’s\n               groups, is essential to the political

   citizens and nationals and relevant aspects of their national security, bearing in mind\n               the common goal of the international community in this regard, which means States\n               are dependent on each other to provide a common secure aviation environment,\n                     Expressing concern that terrorist groups continue to view civil aviation as an\n               attractive target, with the aim of causing substantial loss of life, economic damage\n               and disruption to connectivity between States, and that the risk of terr orist attacks\n               against civil aviation may affect all regions and Member States,\n\n\n\n\n16-16417 (E)\n*1616417*\n\n           Expressing grave concern over terrorist attacks against civil aviation and\n      strongly condemning such attacks,\n            Also expressing concern that civil aviation may be used as a transportation\n      means by Foreign Terrorist Fighters, and noting in this regard that Annex 9 —\n      Facilitation to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, done at Chicago on\n      December 7, 1944 (the “Chicago Convention”) contains standards and recommended\n      practices relevant to the detection and prevention of terrorist threats involving civil\n      aviation,\n            Reaffirming that terrorist attacks against civil aviation, like any act of\n      international terrorism, constitute a threat to international peace and security, and\n      that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable regardless of their\n      motivations, whenever, wherever, and by whomsoever committed, and reaffirming\n      the need to combat by all means threats to international peace and security caused\n      by terrorist acts, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and other\n      international law, in particular international human rights law, international refugee\n      law, and international humanitarian law,\n            Expressing particular concern that terrorist groups are actively seeking ways to\n      defeat or circumvent aviation security, looking to identify and exploit gaps or\n      weaknesses where they perceive them, noting in this regard the high priority risk\n      areas for aviation as identified by the Council of the International Civil Aviation\n      Organization (ICAO), in its Global Risk Context Statement, and stressing the need\n      for international aviation security measures to keep pace with the evolution of this\n      threat,\n            Affirming the role of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as\n      the United Nations organization responsible for developing international aviation\n      security standards, monitoring their implementation by States and its role in\n      assisting states in complying with these standards, noting in this regard ICAO’s “no\n      country left behind” initiative, and noting also the adoption at the 37th Session of\n      the ICAO Assembly in 2010 of the Declaration on Aviation Security and the ICAO\n      Comprehensive Aviation Security Strategy, both of which have become key\n      instruments of leadership and engagement for the Organization in carrying out its\n      aviation security programme, and noting the intention to develop a Global Aviation\n      Security Plan as the future global framework for progressive aviation sec urity\n      enhancement,\n            Noting that the protection of civil aviation from acts of unlawful interference\n      is addressed by the Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed on\n      Board Aircraft (Tokyo, 1963), by the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawf ul\n      Seizure of Aircraft (The Hague, 1970), by the Convention for the Suppression of\n      Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Civil Aviation (Montréal, 1971), by the\n      Protocol for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts of Violence at Airports Serving\n      International Civil Aviation, Supplementary to the Convention for the Suppression\n      of Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Civil Aviation (Montréal, 1988), by the\n      Convention on the Marking of Plastic Explosives for the Purpose of Detection\n      (Montréal, 1991), by the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Relating\n      to International Civil Aviation (Beijing, 2010), by the Protocol Supplementary to the\n      Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft (Beijing, 2010), by\n      the Protocol to Amend the Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts\n      Committed on Board Aircraft (Montréal, 2014) and by bilateral agreements for the\n      suppression of such acts,\n\n\n\n\n2/4\n\n      Reaffirming its call upon all States to become party to the relevant\ninternational counter-terrorism conventions and protocols as soon as possible,\nwhether or not they are a party to regional conventions on the matter, and to fully\nimplement their obligations under those to which they are a party,\n      1.   Affirms that all States have the responsibility to protect the security of\ncitizens and nationals of all nations against terrorist attacks on air services operating\nwithin their territory, in a manner consistent with existing obligations under\ninternational law;\n      2.    Affirms also that all States have an interest to protect the safety of their\nown citizens and nationals against terrorist attacks conducted against international\ncivil aviation, wherever these may occur, in accordance with international law,\nincluding international human rights law and international humanitarian law;\n      3.   Notes that Annex 17 — Security to the Convention on International Civil\nAviation, done at Chicago on December 7, 1944 (the “Chicago Convention”),\nprovides that contracting States shall develop and implement regulations, practices,\nand procedures to safeguard civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference and\nto ensure that such measures are capable of responding rapidly to meet any\nincreased security threat, and further notes that Annex 17 to the Chicago Convention\nestablishes additional standards to safeguard international civil aviation against\nunlawful interference, to which contracting States shall conform in accordance with\nthe Chicago Convention, and that Annex 17 to the Chicago Convention also\nprovides recommended practices, and that both standards and recommended\npractices are supported by detailed guidance on their effective implementation;\n      4.    Welcomes and supports the work of ICAO to ensure that all such\nmeasures are continuously reviewed and adapted to meet the ever-evolving global\nthreat picture, and calls upon ICAO, within its mandate, to continue and enhance its\nefforts to establish compliance with international aviation security standards through\neffective implementation on the ground, and to assist Member States in this regard;\n      5.    Calls upon all States to work within ICAO to ensure that its international\nsecurity standards are reviewed and adapted to effectively address the threat posed\nby terrorist targeting of civil aviation, to strengthen and promote the effective\napplication of ICAO standards and recommended practices in Annex 17, and to\nassist ICAO to continue to enhance audit, capacity development and training\nprogrammes in order to support their implementation;\n      6.   Further calls upon all States, as part of their efforts to prevent and\ncounter terrorist threats to civil aviation and acting consistent with relevant\ninternational legal instruments and framework documents, to:\n     (a) Ensure that effective, risk-based measures are in place at the airports\nwithin their jurisdiction, including through enhancing screening, security checks,\nand facility security, to detect and deter terrorist attacks against civil aviation and to\nreview and assess such measures regularly and thoroughly to ensure that they reflect\nthe ever-evolving threat picture and are in accordance with ICAO standards and\nrecommended practices;\n     (b) Take all necessary steps to ensure that these measures are effectively\nimplemented on the ground on a continuing and sustainable basis, including through\nthe provision of the required resources, the use of effective quality control and\noversight processes, and the promotion of an effective security culture within all\norganizations involved in civil aviation;\n\n\n\n                                                                                             3/4\n\n            (c) Ensure that such measures take into account the potential role of those\n      with privileged access to areas, knowledge or information that may assist terrorists\n      in planning or conducting attacks;\n          (d) Urgently address any gaps or vulnerabilities that may be highlighted by\n      ICAO or national self-risk assessment or audit processes;\n            (e) Strengthen security screening procedures and maximize the promotion,\n      utilization and sharing of new technologies and innovative techniques that maximize\n      the capability to detect explosives and other threats, as well as strengthening\n      cooperation and collaboration and sharing experience in regards to developing\n      security check technologies;\n            (f) Further engage in dialogue on aviation security and cooperate by sharing\n      information, to the extent possible, about threats, risks, and vulnerabilities, by\n      collaborating on specific measures to address them and by facilitating, on a bilateral\n      basis, mutual assurance about the security of flights between their territories;\n             (g) Require that airlines operating in their territories provide advance\n      passenger information to the appropriate national authorities in order to detect the\n      departure from their territories, or attempted entry into or transit through their\n      territories, by means of civil aircraft, of individuals designated by the Committee\n      pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015);\n            7.

Recalls the statements by each of the five nuclear-weapon States, noted\n               by resolution 984 (1995), in which they give security assurances against the use of\n               nuclear weapons to non-nuclear-weapon State Parties to the NPT, and affirms that\n               such security assurances strengthen the nuclear non-proliferation regime;\n                     4.    Calls upon all States to refrain from conducting any nuclear-weapon test\n               explosion or any other nuclear explosion and to maintain their moratoria in this\n               regard, commends those States’ national moratoria, some of which are established\n               by national legislation pending entry into force of the Tr eaty, emphasizes that such\n               moratoria are an example of responsible international behaviour that contributes to\n               international peace and stability and should continue, while stressing that such\n               moratoria do not have the same permanent and legally binding eff ect as entry into\n               force of the Treaty, and notes the Joint Statement on the Comprehensive Nuclear\n               Test-Ban Treaty by China, France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and\n               the United States of America of September 15, 2016, in which those States no ted\n               that, inter alia, “a nuclear-weapon test explosion or any other nuclear explosion\n               would defeat the object and purpose of the CTBT ”;\n                     5.   Underlines the need to maintain momentum towards completion of all\n               elements of the Treaty verification regime, and in this regard, calls upon all States\n               to provide the support required to enable the PrepCom to complete all its tasks in\n               the most efficient and cost effective way, and encourages all States hosting\n               International Monitoring System facilities to transmit data to the IDC on a testing\n               and provisional basis, pending entry into force of the Treaty;\n                      6.   Welcomes the voluntary information in the national statements in the\n               PrepCom by States listed in Annex 1 to the Protocol to the Treaty as responsible for\n               one or more facilities of the IMS on the status of completing the construction of\n               those facilities as well as regarding the status of transmission of data from their\n               facilities to the IDC, encourages States hosting IMS facilities to complete\n               construction of the IMS facilities in a timely manner as provided for by the Treaty\n\n\n\n2/3                                                                                                      16-16492\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2310 (2016)\n\n\n           and text on the establishment of the PrepCom, and invites the Provisional Technical\n           Secretariat to provide a report to all State Signatories within 180 days of the\n           adoption of this resolution on the status of States Signatories assessed contributions\n           to the PrepCom and any additional support provided by State Signatories for the\n           completion of the Treaty’s verification regime and for the maintenance and\n           operational needs for the IDC and IMS;\n                7.    Recognizes that even absent entry into force of the Treaty the monitoring\n           and analytical elements of the verification regime, operating on a testing and\n           provisional basis, are at the disposal of the international community in conformity\n           with the Treaty and under the guidance of the Preparatory Commission, and that\n           such elements contribute to regional stability as a significant confidence-building\n           measure, and strengthen the nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament regime;\n                 8.    Affirms that entry into force of the Treaty will contribute to the\n           enhancement of international peace and security through its effect ive prevention of\n           the proliferation of nuclear weapons in all its aspects and through its contribution to\n           nuclear disarmament and recognizes that the Provisional Technical Secretariat has\n           demonstrated its utility in bringing tangible scientific and civil b enefits to States,\n           for example through early tsunami warnings and seismological monitoring, and in\n           this regard encourages the PrepCom to consider ways to ensure that these benefits\n           can be broadly shared by the international community in conformity with the Treaty,\n           through capacity building and the sharing of relevant expertise on the verification\n           regime;\n                9.

Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence,\n               territorial integrity and national unity of Libya,\n                    Welcoming the Secretary-General’s report

and related conduct, and the Protocol to Prevent,\n               Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children,\n               supplementing the UNTOC Convention, as the

Convention and its Protocols, requiring differing legal, operational, and\n               policy responses,\n                     Deploring the continuing maritime tragedies in the Mediterranean Sea that\n               have resulted in thousands of casualties, and noting with concern that such\n               casualties were, in some cases, the result of exploitation and misinformation by\n               transnational criminal organizations which facilitated the illegal smuggling of\n               migrants via dangerous methods for personal gain and with callous disr egard for\n               human life,\n                     Expressing grave concern at the ongoing proliferation of, and endangerment of\n               lives by, the smuggling of migrants in the Mediterranean Sea, in particular off the\n\n\n\n\n16-17351 (E)\n*1617351*\n\nS/RES/2312 (2016)\n\n\n               coast of Libya and reiterating that among these migrants may be persons who meet\n               the

including asylum seekers and\n               regardless of their migration status, should be treated with humanity and dignity and\n               that their rights should be fully respected, and urging all States in this regard to\n               comply with their obligations under international law, including international human\n               rights law and international refugee law, as applicable, stressing also the obligation\n               of States, where applicable, to protect the human rights of migrants regardless of\n               their migration status, including when implementing their specific migration and\n               border security policies,\n                     Reaffirming in this respect the need to promote and protect effectively the\n               human rights and fundamental freedoms of all migrants, regardless of their\n               migration status, especially those of women and children, and to address\n               international migration through international, regional or b ilateral cooperation and\n               dialogue and through a comprehensive and balanced approach, recognizing the roles\n               and responsibilities of countries of origin, transit and destination in promoting and\n               protecting the human rights of all migrants, and avoiding appro aches that might\n               aggravate their vulnerability,\n                    Further recalling the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea\n               and the International Convention on Maritime Search and

Libyan\n               territory, which could provide support to other organized crime and terrorist\n               networks in Libya,\n                    Mindful of its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international\n               peace and security under the Charter of the United Nations,\n                     Underlining the primary responsibility of the Government of National

difficulties of the Government of National Accord to\n               manage effectively the migratory flows in transit through Libyan territory, and\n               noting its concern for the repercussions of this phenomenon on the stability of Libya\n               and of the Mediterranean region,\n                   Welcoming ongoing support by the most concerned Member States, including\n               Member States of the European Union (EU), taking into account inter alia the role\n               of FRONTEX and the specific mandate of EUBAM Libya in support of the\n               Government of National Accord, and by neighbouring States,\n                    Acknowledging the European Council Conclusions of 20 June 2016 and the\n               press statement of the

European Union of 20 June\n           2016 to extend the mandate of ‘EUNAVFOR Med Operation Sophia and to expand\n           it, including capacity-building assistance and training to the Libyan Coastguard and\n           Navy in law enforcement at sea, in particular to prevent human smuggling and\n           trafficking,\n               Taking further note of the ongoing discussions between the EU and the\n           Government of National Accord on migration-related issues,\n                Expressing also strong support to the States in the region affected by the\n           smuggling of migrants and human trafficking and emphasizing the need to step up\n           coordination of efforts in order to strengthen an effective multidimensional response\n           to these common challenges in the spirit of international solidarity and shared\n           responsibility, to tackle their root causes and to prevent people from being exploited\n           by migrant smugglers and human traffickers,\n                Acknowledging the need to assist States in the region, upon request, in the\n           development of comprehensive and integrated regional and national strategies, legal\n           frameworks, and institutions to counter terrorism, transnational organized crime,\n           migrant smuggling, and human trafficking, including mechanisms to implement\n           them within the framework of States’ obligations under applicable international law,\n                 Stressing that addressing both migrant smuggling and human trafficking,\n           including dismantling smuggling and trafficking networks in the region and\n           prosecuting migrant smugglers, and human traffickers requires a coordinated,\n           multidimensional approach with States of origin, of transit, and of destination, and\n           further acknowledging the need to develop effective strategies to deter migrant\n           smuggling and human trafficking in States of origin and transit,\n                 Emphasizing that migrants should be treated with humanity and dignity and\n           that their rights should be fully respected, and urging all States in this regard to\n           comply with their obligations under international law, including international human\n           rights law and international refugee law, as applicable,\n                 Bearing in mind the obligations of States under applicable international law to\n           exercise due diligence to prevent and combat migrant smuggling and human\n           trafficking, to investigate and punish perpetrators, to identify and provide effective\n           assistance to victims of trafficking and migrants and to cooperate to the fullest\n           extent possible to prevent and suppress migrant smuggling and h uman trafficking,\n                 Reaffirming the necessity to put an end to the ongoing proliferation of, and\n           endangerment of lives by, the smuggling of migrants and trafficking of persons in\n           the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Libya, and, for these specific purpose s,\n           acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                 1.   Condemns all acts of migrant smuggling and human trafficking into,\n           through and from the Libyan territory and off the coast of Libya, which undermine\n           further the process of stabilization of Libya and endanger the lives of hundreds of\n           thousands of people;\n\n\n\n\n16-17351                                                                                                     3/5\n\nS/RES/2312 (2016)\n\n\n                     2.

Urges Member States and regional organizations, in the spirit of\n               international solidarity and shared responsibility, to cooperate with the Government\n               of National Accord, and with each other, including by sharing information about\n               acts of migrant smuggling and human trafficking in Libya ’s territorial sea and on\n               the high seas off the coast of Libya, and rendering assistance to migrants and\n               victims of human trafficking recovered at sea, in accordance with international law;\n                    4.    Urges States and regional organizations whose naval vessels and aircraft\n               operate on the high seas and airspace off the coast of Libya, to be vigilant for acts of\n               migrant smuggling and human trafficking, and in this context, encourages States\n               and regional organizations to increase and coordinate their efforts to deter acts of\n               migrant smuggling and human trafficking, in cooperation with Libya;\n                     5.    Calls upon Member States acting nationally or through regional\n               organizations that are engaged in the fight against migrant smuggling and human\n               trafficking to inspect, as permitted under international law, on the high seas off the\n               coast of Libya, any unflagged vessels that they have reasonable grounds to believe\n               have been, are being, or imminently will be used by organized criminal enterprises\n               for migrant smuggling or human trafficking from Libya, including inflatable boats,\n               rafts and dinghies;\n                     6.

19 November 2012,\n                     Welcoming the report of the Secretary-General (S/2016/843), as requested by\n               resolution 2246 (2015), on the implementation of that resolution and on the\n               situation with respect to piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia,\n                    Reaffirming its respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, politic al\n               independence, and unity of Somalia, including Somalia’s sovereign rights in\n               accordance with international law, with respect to offshore natural resources,\n               including fisheries,\n                     Noting that the joint counter-piracy efforts of States, regions, organizations,\n               the maritime industry, the private sector, think tanks, and civil society have resulted\n               in a steady decline in pirate attacks as well as hijackings since 2011, and continuing\n               to be gravely concerned by the ongoing threat that resurgent piracy and armed\n               robbery at sea poses to the prompt, safe, and effective delivery of humanitarian aid\n               to Somalia and the region, to the safety of seafarers and other persons, to\n               international navigation and the safety of commercial maritime routes, and to other\n               ships, including fishing vessels operating in conformity with international law,\n                     Further reaffirming that international law, as reflected in the United Nations\n               Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 ( “The Convention”), sets\n               out the legal framework applicable to activities in the ocean, including countering\n               piracy and armed robbery at sea,\n                    Recognizing the need to investigate and prosecute not only suspects captured\n               at sea, but also anyone who incites or intentionally facilitates piracy operations,\n               including key figures of criminal networks involved in piracy who plan, organize,\n\n\n\n\n16-19685 (E)\n*1619685*\n\nS/RES/2316 (2016)\n\n\n               facilitate, or illicitly finance or profit from such attacks, and reiterating its concern\n               over persons suspected of piracy having been released without facing justice,\n               reaffirming that the failure to prosecute persons responsible for acts of piracy and\n               armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia undermines anti -piracy efforts,\n                     Noting with concern that the continuing limited capacity and domestic\n               legislation to facilitate the custody and prosecution of suspected pirates after their\n               capture has hindered more robust international action against pirates off the coast of\n               Somalia, which has led to pirates being released without facing justice, regardless of\n               whether there is sufficient evidence to support prosecution, and reiterating that,\n               consistent with the provisions of The Convention concerning the repression of\n               piracy, the 1988 Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the\n               Safety of Maritime Navigation (“SUA Convention”) provides for parties to create\n               criminal offences, establish jurisdiction, and accept delivery of persons responsible\n               for, or suspected of seizing, or exercising control over, a ship by force or threat\n               thereof, or any other form of intimidation,\n                      Underlining the primary responsibility of the Somali authorities in the fight\n               against piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, noting the several\n               requests from Somali authorities for international assistance to counter piracy off its\n               coast, including the letter of 24 October 2016, from the Chargé d ’affaires a.i. of the\n               Permanent Mission of Somalia to the United Nations expressing the appreciation of\n               Somali authorities to the Security Council for its assistance, expressing their\n               willingness to consider working with other States and regional organizations to\n               combat piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, asking member\n               states and international organizations to support the Federal Government of Somalia\n               in its efforts to address illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing in its Exclusive\n               Economic Zone, and requesting that the provisions of resolution 2246 (2015) be\n               renewed for an additional twelve months,\n                    Welcoming the participation of the

their flag transiting the High Risk Area (HRA) to embark vessel protection\n           detachments and privately contracted armed security personnel (PCASP), and to\n           allow charters that favour arrangements that make use of such measures, while\n           urging States to regulate such activities in accordance with applicable international\n           law,\n                Noting that HRA boundaries are set and defined by the insurance and maritime\n           industry, and have been redefined in December 2015,\n                 Welcoming the capacity-building efforts in the region made by the\n           International Maritime Organization (IMO) funded Djibouti Code of Conduct, the\n           Trust Fund and the European Union’s activities under the EU Mission on Regional\n           Maritime Capacity in the Horn of Africa (EUCAP Nestor), which is working with\n           the Federal Government of Somalia to strengthen its criminal justice system, and\n           recognizing the need for all engaged international and regional organizations to\n           coordinate and cooperate fully,\n                 Supporting the development of a coastal police force, noting with appreciation\n           the efforts made by the IMO and the shipping industry to develop and update\n           guidance, best management practices, and recommendations to assist ships

  enabling seafarers to give evidence in criminal proceedings to prosecute acts of\n           piracy,\n                 Further recognizing that pirate networks continue to rely on kidnapping and\n           hostage-taking to help generate funding to purchase weapons, gain recruits, and\n           continue their operational activities, thereby jeopardizing the safety and security of\n

Somali National Army and Somali Police Force,\n                Welcoming the Padang Communique and Maritime Cooperation Declaration\n           adopted by the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) at its 15th Council of\n           Ministers meeting, which call upon members to support and strengthen cooperation\n           to address maritime challenges including piracy and illegal trafficking of drugs, and\n           welcoming Somalia’s October 2016 signing of the IORA charter to formally become\n           a member State, thereby strengthening Somalia’s cooperation with its neighbours on\n

Safe Demilitarized Border Zone\n           (SDBZ), their agreement that the centreline is only the location of the separation\n           line between armed forces, as well as the parties’ agreement to activate all\n           mechanisms relating to the JPSM as provided for in relevant agreements, and\n           encouraging the parties to delineate or agree on the coordinates of, and demilitarize\n           the SDBZ, including the “14 Mile Area”, and to fully implement the Joint Border\n           Verification and Monitoring Mechanism (JBVMM), in accordance with Security\n           Council resolution 2046 (2012) and the AUPSC Roadmap of 24 April 2012, and\n           underlining the importance of fully establishing and maintaining effecti ve JBVMM\n           monitoring of the SDBZ, including the “14 Mile Area”, and further urging the\n           parties to cooperate in allowing the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei\n           (UNISFA) to fulfil its responsibility to provide security for the JBVMM’s mission\n           to monitor the SDBZ,\n                Noting with concern the absence of local institutions to manage the Abyei Area\n           and lack of progress in convening an Abyei Joint Oversight Committee (AJOC)\n           meeting since March 2015,\n                 Recognizing the importance of regular dialogue between the Governments of\n           Sudan and South Sudan, recalling the United Nations Security Council decision in\n           resolution 2046 (2012) that the parties must resume immediately negotiations

towards final agreement on the final status of the Abyei Area, and stressing that the\n           parties must immediately implement pending aspects of the 20 June 2011\n           Agreement, in particular to resolve the dispute over the Abyei Area Agreement, and\n           to resolve the dispute over the Abyei Area Council, and immediately establish the\n           Abyei Area Administration and Abyei Police Service,\n                Stressing that both countries and communities will have much to gain if they\n           show restraint and choose the path of dialogue instead of resorting to violence or\n           provocations,\n                 Commending the continued assistance provided to the parties by the AUHIP,\n           the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the Federal Democratic Republic\n           of Ethiopia, the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Sudan and South Sudan,\n           and UNISFA,\n                 Further commending the efforts of UNISFA in effectively carrying out its\n           mandate, including by its ongoing facilitation of peaceful migration throughout the\n           Abyei Area, conflict prevention, mediation and deterrence, and expressing its deep\n           appreciation for the work of the troop-contributing countries, and strongly\n           underscoring the unacceptability of any attack on United Nations personnel,\n           including the 26 November 2015 attack that resulted in the death of a peacekeeper,\n           and reiterating that such attacks should be swiftly and thoroughly investigated, an d\n           that those responsible should be held to account,\n               Taking note of the security situation in the Abyei Area as characterized by the\n           12 October 2016 Secretary-General’s report (S/2016/864), and acknowledging\n           UNISFA’s contribution to enhanced peace and stability since its deployment and\n\n\n\n\n16-20219                                                                                                    3/9\n\nS/RES/2318 (2016)\n\n\n               expressing its determination to prevent the recurrence of violence against or\n               displacements of civilians and to avert intercommunal conflict,\n                    Reiterating its deep concern regarding the public administration and rule of\n               law vacuum in the Abyei Area, due to continued delays in the establishment of the\n               Abyei Area Administration and Council and Police, including a special unit to deal\n               with particular issues related to nomadic migration, which are essential to maintain\n               law and order and prevent intercommunal conflict in Abyei, and in this regard,\n               welcoming UNISFA’s efforts to support and strengthen community protection\n               committees, and to continue engaging with both governments on this is sue,\n                     Noting with concern the continued delay in establishing the temporary\n               institutions and resolving the final status of Abyei and that the continued threat of\n               intercommunal violence contributes to heightened tensions in the Abyei Area,\n               including those ongoing tensions that prevent UNISFA’s and other agencies’\n               Sudanese staff from returning to Abyei,\n                     Urging all parties to refrain from any unilateral action that could aggravate\n               intercommunal relations within the Abyei Area, expressing concern over the\n               continued implications of what the AUPSC described in their 6 November 2013\n               press statement as “the decision by the Ngok Dinka to conduct a unilateral\n               referendum” and also in this context, taking note that the Government of Sudan\n               proceeded with its April 2015 national elections in Abyei,\n                     Taking note of the information in the 15 April 2016 Secretary-General’s report\n               (S/2016/353) regarding completion of earthwork excavation at the Diffra oil\n               installation,\n                     Bearing in mind the current humanitarian situation in which humanitarian\n               actors continue to provide assistance to 139,000 people in the Abyei Area and the\n               importance of coherence of United Nations assistance in the region, and further\n               stressing the urgency of facilitating the delivery of humanitarian assistance to all\n               affected populations,\n                     Affirming the importance of voluntary, safe, dignified return and sustainable\n               reintegration of displaced persons, and of peaceful and orderly migration cycles\n               respecting the traditional migratory routes from Sudan to South Sudan through\n               Abyei, and urging UNISFA to continue to take measures as necessary to ensure\n               security in the Abyei Area in accordance with its mandate,\n                     Recalling its resolution 2117 (2013), and expressing grave concern at the\n               threat to peace and security in Abyei arising from the illicit transfer, destabilizing\n               accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons, welcoming the\n               completion of infrastructure, systems, and policy for weapons confiscation, storage\n               and destruction, and calling on UNISFA to ensure adequate protection of this\n               infrastructure,\n                    Expressing concern about the residual threat of landmines and explosive\n               remnants of war in the Abyei Area, which hinders the safe return of displaced\n               persons to their homes, safe migration, and livelihood activities,\n                     Taking note of the 12 October 2016 Secretary-General’s report (S/2016/864),\n               including the Secretary-General’s call on the parties to renew efforts to address the\n               issues that have remained unresolved, implement the 20 June 2011 Abyei\n\n\n\n\n4/9

full and permanent withdrawal of all unauthorized forces\n           from the Abyei Area,\n                 Recalling that the Security Council welcomed in resolution 2205 (2015) the\n           decision of the Secretary-General to appoint a civilian head of mission,\n                Recognizing that the current situation in Abyei and along the border between\n           the Sudan and South Sudan continues to constitute a serious threat to international\n           peace and security,\n                 1.   Decides to extend until 15 May 2017 the mandate of the United Nations\n           Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) as set out in paragraph 2 of resolution\n           1990 (2011) and modified by resolution 2024 (2011) and paragraph 1 of resolution\n           2075 (2012), and acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n           further decides to extend until 15 May 2017 the tasks of UNISFA as set out in\n           paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011), and determines that for the purposes of\n           paragraph 1 of resolution 2024 (2011), support to the operational activities of the\n           JBVMM shall include support to the Ad Hoc Committees, as appropriate when so\n           requested by consensual decisions of these mechanisms, within UNISFA’s\n           operational area and existing capabilities;\n                 2.    Takes note of the stated intention by both sides to hold another AJOC\n           meeting, regrets the meeting has not yet taken place, and urges the holding of more\n           productive meetings to ensure steady progress on the implementation of previous\n           AJOC decisions and the 20 June 2011 Agreement, recalls the need for African\n           Union initiatives to support this goal and encourages its renewed engagement, and\n           requests the Secretary-General to provide an assessment of progress on these issues\n           in his regular reports;\n                 3.    Underscores that continued cooperation between the Government of\n           Sudan and Government of South Sudan is also critical for peace, security and\n           stability and the future relations between them;\n                4.    Further reiterates its demand that Sudan and South Sudan urgently\n           commence the establishment of the Abyei Area Administration and Council,\n           including by resolving the deadlock over the composition of the Council, and\n           constitute the Abyei Police Service, to enable it to take over policing functions\n           throughout the Abyei Area, including the protection of oil infrastructure, in\n           accordance with their commitments in the 20 June 2011 Agreement;\n                 5.   Expresses renewed concern regarding the delays and stalled efforts to\n           fully operationalize the JBVMM, takes note of the Secretary-General’s benchmarks\n           and recommendations regarding JBVMM operations, takes note that continued\n           investment in achieving full operational capability of the JBVMM should be based\n           on a set of conditions, including resolution of the dispute over the SDBZ,\n           resumption of border demarcation discussions, occurrence of regular meetings of\n           the JPSM, and granting of full freedom of movement, and calls on both parties to\n           demonstrate full commitment to implementation of their border arrangements and\n           take the necessary steps to this effect, including by follow up to the 5 June 2016\n           meeting and by swiftly holding a further meeting of the JPSM to take the\n           operational decisions related to their agreement on the SDBZ;\n\n\n\n\n16-20219                                                                                                  5/9\n\nS/RES/2318 (2016)\n\n\n                     6.    Decides to maintain the troops authorized by resolution 2104 (2013)\n               already deployed, and that the remaining authorized forces continue to be deployed\n               dependent on the evolution of the JBVMM, to enable UNISFA to provide required\n               force protection to the JBVMM and to enable UNISFA to fully support the JBVMM\n               to conduct extended operations into the SDBZ as soon as possible, and requests the\n               Secretary-General to keep the Council fully updated on the status of deployment as\n               part of his regular reporting cycle;\n                     7.  Calls upon the Government of Sudan and the Government of South\n               Sudan to make timely and effective use of the JBVMM, JPSM and other agreed\n               joint mechanisms to ensure the security and transparency of the SDBZ, including\n               the “14 Mile Area”;\n                     8.    Urges renewed efforts to determine conclusively the SDBZ centreline on\n               the ground, and reiterates that the centreline of the SDBZ in no way prejudices the\n               current or future legal status of the border, ongoing negotiations on the disputed and\n               claimed areas, and demarcation of the borders;\n                    9.    Underscores that UNISFA’s protection of civilians mandate as set out in\n               paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011) includes taking the necessary actions to\n               protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence, irrespective of the\n               source of such violence;\n                     10. Condemns the intermittent presence of South Sudan security service\n               personnel and the deployment of Diffra Oil Police units in the Abyei Area, in\n               violation of the 20 June 2011 Agreement, as well as any entry of armed militias into\n               the territory, and reiterates its demands that immediately and without preconditions\n               the Government of South Sudan fully redeploy its security service personnel from\n               the Abyei Area and that the Government of Sudan redeploy the Oil Police in Diffra\n               from the Abyei Area, and further reiterates, in accordance with relevant resolutions,\n               in particular resolution 1990 (2011) and resolution 2046 (2012), that the Abyei Area\n               shall be demilitarized from any forces, as well as armed elements of the local\n               communities, other than UNISFA and the Abyei Police Service;\n                    11. Supports the AJOC’s 3 May 2013 and 30 March 2015 decisions on\n               Abyei’s status as a weapons-free area, underscores the AUPSC’s concern in its\n               7 May 2013 Communiqué over reports that various communities living in Abyei are\n               heavily armed, recalls that the 20 June 2011 Agreement on Temporary\n               Arrangements for the Administration and Security of the Abyei Area stipulates that\n               Abyei should be a weapons-free area and that only UNISFA is authorized to carry\n               weapons inside the area, and in this regard, urges the two Governments to take all\n               necessary steps to ensure that Abyei is effectively demilitarized, including through\n               disarmament programs as necessary;\n                     12. Reaffirms that UNISFA may undertake weapons confiscation and\n               destruction in the Abyei Area as authorized under resolution 1990 (2011), consistent\n               with its mandate and within its existing capabilities, in coordination with the\n               signatories of the June 2011 Agreement on the Temporary Arrangements for the\n               Administration and Security of the Abyei Area, the AJOC, and the Misseriya and\n               Ngok Dinka communities and consistent with the previous AJOC decision to\n               establish the Area as a “weapons free area”, and reiterates its request that UNISFA,\n               observe, document and report on the movement of weapons into Abyei and the\n\n\n\n\n6/9                                                                                                     16-20219\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/2318 (2016)\n\n\n           presence, destruction and confiscation of weapons within Abyei as part of the\n           Secretary-General’s regular reporting cycle;\n                 13. Requests UNISFA to continue its dialogue with the AJOC and with the\n           Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities on effective strategies and oversight\n           mechanisms for ensuring full compliance by all relevant parties with Abyei’s statu s\n           as a weapons-free area, with a particular priority placed on the urgent elimination of\n           heavy or crew-served weapons, as well as rocket-propelled grenades, and calls upon\n           the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan, the AJOC, and the Misseriya and Ngok\n           Dinka communities to extend full cooperation to UNISFA in this regard;\n                 14. Urges the two Governments immediately to take steps to implement\n           confidence-building measures among the respective communities in the Abyei Area,\n           including through reconciliation processes at the grass-roots level and supporting\n           UNISFA in promoting community dialogue, strongly welcomes continued\n           engagement between the Ngok Dinka and Misseriya communities, and strongly\n           urges all Abyei communities to exercise maximum restraint in all their engagements\n           and to desist from inflammatory acts or statements that may lead to violent clashes;\n                 15. Welcomes the positive developments at the grass-roots level between the\n           Ngok Dinka and Misseriya communities, particularly their noted commitment to\n           reconciliation and cooperation, as demonstrated by the resumption of trading\n           activities and the monitoring of stolen property and livestock, including the prompt\n           return of or provision of compensation for stolen property to victims of crime;\n                 16. Welcomes UNISFA initiatives, to support community dialogue and efforts\n           by the Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities to strengthen inter -communal\n           relationships and facilitate stability and reconciliation in the Abyei Area, including\n           the facilitation of joint peace committee meetings between both communities;\n                17. Welcomes UNISFA’s continued efforts, within existing capabilities and\n           resources, and in close coordination with the Misseriya and Ngok Dinka\n           communities, to strengthen the capacities of Community Protection Commi ttees in\n           order to assist with management of law and order processes in Abyei and to\n           continue engaging with both governments on this issue;\n                 18. Calls upon all parties to cooperate fully with the findings and\n           recommendations following the Abyei Area Joint Investigation and Inquiry\n           Committee’s investigation into the killing of a UNISFA peacekeeper and the Ngok\n           Dinka Paramount Chief, welcomes the 24 March 2015 AUPSC press statement\n           requesting the AU Commission to engage the parties on the findings and\n           recommendations, and reiterates the need to enable the two communities to find\n           closure on the assassination of the Ngok Dinka Paramount Chief, bearing in mind\n           the need to promote stability and reconciliation in the Abyei Area;\n                19.

particularly in the deterrence of sexual and gender -\n           based violence against civilians, and encouraging UNMISS, as appropriate, and\n           when possible, to explore how it can use civilian protection techniques to enhance\n           its ability to protect civilians, in line with the UN Secretary-General’s\n           recommendation,\n                Strongly condemning the continued obstruction of UNMISS by the TGNU,\n           including severe restrictions on freedom of movement and constrai nts on mission\n           operations which may be in violation of its obligations under the Status of Forces\n           Agreement (SOFA),\n                 Strongly condemning all human rights violations and abuses and violations of\n           international humanitarian law, including those involving extr ajudicial killings,\n           ethnically targeted violence, rape and other forms of sexual and gender -based\n           violence, recruitment and use of children, enforced disappearances, arbitrary arrests\n           and detention, violence aimed at spreading terror among the civilian pop ulation,\n           targeting of members of civil

as well as the incitement to commit such\n           abuses and violations, further condemning harassment and targeting of civil society,\n           humanitarian personnel and journalists, and emphasizing that those responsible for\n           violations of international humanitarian law and violations and abuses of human\n           rights must be held accountable, and that South Sudan’s TGNU bears the primary\n           responsibility to protect its populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing,\n           and crimes against humanity,\n                Expressing grave concern at the findings of the Special Representative of the\n           Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict of the systematic and widespread\n           use of sexual violence as a tactic by parties to the conflict against the civilian\n           population, particularly against women and girls in South Sudan,\n                 Stressing the increasingly urgent need to end impunity in South Sudan and to\n           bring to justice all perpetrators of such crimes, and further stressing the importance\n           of accountability, reconciliation and healing in ending impunity and ensuring a\n           sustainable peace,\n                 Further condemning the use of media to broadcast hate speech and transmit\n           messages instigating violence against a particular ethnic group, a practice that has\n           the potential to play a significant role in promoting mass violence and exacerbating\n           conflict, calling on the Government of South Sudan to immediately condemn and\n           counter increasing hate speech and ethnic violence and to promote reconciliation\n           among its people, including through a process of justice and accountability,\n                Taking note with interest of the reports on the human rights situation in South\n           Sudan issued by UNMISS and the Secretary-General, as well as the report of the AU\n           Commission of Inquiry on South Sudan and the Separate Opinion, expressing grave\n           concern that according to some reports, including the AU Commission of Inquiry\n           report on South Sudan, released on 27 October 2015, there were reasonable grounds\n           to believe that war crimes and crimes against humanity had been committed,\n           emphasizing its

serious and urgent concern over the approximately 2.94 million\n               displaced persons and deepening humanitarian crisis, including an estimated\n               4.8 million that face severe food insecurity and six million i n need of assistance,\n               and that half of the country’s children are out of school, stressing the responsibility\n               borne by all parties to the conflict for the immense suffering of the people of South\n               Sudan, including the destruction or damage to livelihoods an d productive assets, and\n               commending United

obstructions by all parties to civilians’ movement\n               and to humanitarian actors’ movement to reach civilians in need of assistance, and\n               recalling the need for all parties to the conflict to allow and facilitate, in accordance\n               with relevant provisions of international law and United Nations guiding principles\n               of humanitarian assistance, including humanity, impartiality, neutrality, and\n               independence, the full, safe and unhindered access of relief personnel, equipment\n               and supplies and timely delivery of humanitarian assistance, to all those in need, in\n               particular to internally displaced persons (IDPs), and refugees,\n                     Condemning all attacks against humanitarian

attacks against medical\n               personnel and hospitals, noting with alarm the increasing trend of harassment and\n               intimidation of humanitarian personnel, and recalling that attacks against\n               humanitarian personnel and objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian\n               population may amount to violations of international humanitarian law,\n                    Expressing its deep appreciation for the actions taken by UNMISS\n               peacekeepers and Troop- and Police-Contributing Countries to protect civilians,\n               including foreign nationals, under threat of physical violence and to stabilize the\n               security situation within and beyond UNMISS sites,\n                     Recognizing the

Calls on all parties to cooperate fully with the operations of UNDOF, to\n           respect its privileges and immunities and to ensure its freedom of movement, as\n           well as the security of and unhindered and immediate access for the United Nations\n           personnel carrying out their mandate, including the unimpeded delivery of UNDOF\n           equipment and the temporary use of alternative ports of entry and departure, as\n           required, to ensure safe and secure troop rotation and resupply activities, in\n           conformity with existing agreements, and urges prompt reporting by the Secretary -\n           General to the Security Council and troop-contributing countries of any actions that\n           impede UNDOF’s ability to fulfil its mandate;\n                 6.   Commends the establishment of a new temporary crossing point for\n           UNDOF personnel between the Alpha and Bravo sides for contingency situations, in\n           the absence of the established crossing at Quneitra, and in this regard, calls on the\n           parties to constructively engage with UNDOF, with the understanding that the\n           Quneitra crossing will be re-opened as soon as security conditions permit;\n                7.    Welcomes the return of an initial UNDOF contingent to Camp Faouar, as\n           well as the cooperation of the parties to facilitate this return, together with\n           continued efforts to plan for UNDOF’s expeditious return to vacated positions in the\n           area of separation, including the provision of adequate force protection, based on a\n           continuous assessment of security in the area;\n                8.

further recognizing that trafficking in persons in armed conflict\n               and post-conflict situations can also be associated with sexual violence in conflict\n               and that children in situations of armed conflict and persons displaced by armed\n               conflict, including refugees, can be especially vulnerable to trafficking in persons in\n               armed conflict and to these forms of exploitation,\n                     Reiterating the critical importance of all Member States fully implementing\n               relevant Security Council resolutions, including resolutions 2195 (2014) and 2253\n               (2015), which express concern that terrorists benefit from transnational organized\n               crime in some regions, including from the trafficking in persons among others, as\n               well as 2242 (2015), which expresses concern that acts of sexual and gender -based\n               violence are known to be part of the strategic objectives and ideology of certain\n               terrorist groups;

that trafficking in persons, in particular women and\n               girls, remains a critical component of the financial flows to certain terrorist groups;\n               and that, when leading to certain forms of exploitation, is being used by these\n               groups as a driver for recruitment,\n                     Recognizing that trafficking in persons entails the violation or abuse of human\n               rights, and underscoring that certain acts or offences associated with trafficking in\n               persons in the context of armed conflict may constitute war crimes;

condemning all violations and\n               abuses against children in armed conflict and noting in particular that the\n               recruitment and use of children in violation of applicable international law by\n               parties to armed conflict can be associated with trafficking in persons; expressing\n               grave concern over the high numbers of girls and boys among persons trafficked in\n               armed conflict and their heightened vulnerability to violations and abuses, including\n               girls and boys who are forcibly displaced by armed conflict, particularly when\n               separated from their families or caregivers,\n\n\n\n\n2/8                                                                                                      16-22533\n\n                                                                                               S/RES/2331 (2016)\n\n\n                 Recalling resolution 2249 (2015), in which the Security Council condemns in\n           the strongest terms the gross, systematic, and widespread abuses of human rights\n           and violations of international humanitarian law by ISIL (also known as Daesh), and\n           resolution 2253 (2015), in which the Security Council condemns in the strongest\n           terms abductions of women and children, including by ISIL, ANF, and associated\n           individuals, groups, undertakings and entities, expresses outrage at their\n           exploitation and abuse, including rape and sexual violence, forced marriage, and\n           enslavement by these entities, and notes that any person or entity who transfers\n           funds to ISIL directly or indirectly in connection with such exploitation and abuse\n           would be eligible for listing by the Security Council Committee established\n           pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015) concerning ISIL\n           (Da’esh), Al-Qaida and associated individuals, groups, undertakings and entities,\n                 Noting with concern the criminal misuse of information and communications\n           technologies, particularly the Internet, to facilitate the trafficking of persons, in\n           particular the sale and trade, by certain terrorist groups and empha sizing the\n           importance of countering such use as part of counter-terrorism efforts while\n           respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms and in compliance with other\n           obligations under international law,\n                1.   Condemns in the strongest terms all instances of trafficking in persons in\n           areas affected by armed conflicts, and stresses that trafficking in persons\n           undermines the rule of law and contributes to other forms of transnational organized\n           crime, which can exacerbate conflict and foster insecurity and instability and\n           undermine development;\n                2.

Encourages Member States to:\n                     (a) Build strong partnerships with the private sector and civil society,\n               including local women organizations, and to redouble their efforts by encouraging\n               these actors to provide information helping to identify, disrupt, dismantle and bring\n               to justice individuals and networks involved in trafficking in persons in areas\n               affected by armed conflict, including by training relevant officials such as law\n               enforcement personnel, border control officers, labour inspectors, consular or\n               embassy officials, judges and prosecutors and peacekeepers to identify i ndicators of\n               trafficking in persons in areas affected by armed conflict in supply chains;\n                     (b) Consider that in some circumstances trafficking in persons in armed\n               conflict in all its forms and sexual violence in conflict can cause large movements\n               of refugees and migrants; recalls the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees\n               and/or its Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees; and furthermore urges that all\n               refugee-receiving countries provide information on the services available to victims\n               of trafficking and sexual violence survivors, ensure sustainable psychosocial\n               support and provide survivors with the option to document their cases for future\n               legal action to hold traffickers accountable, and that due consideration is given to\n               clarifying and securing the legal status of undocumented refugee children, including\n               refugee children conceived as a result of sexual violence or exploitation, to avoid\n               situations of possible statelessness;\n                    4.    Encourages the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and FATF-Style\n               Regional Bodies (FSRBs) to consider including an analysis of financial flows\n               associated with trafficking in persons that finances terrorism as part of its ongoing\n               work, in close cooperation with CTED, the Analytical Support and Sanctions\n               Monitoring Team and with UNODC;\n                     5.   Calls on those Member States who have not yet done so to develop the\n               expertise of their Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) to analyse cases of trafficking\n               in persons that finance terrorism, and encourages them to work together to devel op\n               that capacity, and, in this regard, further encourages Member States and relevant\n               UN entities and other international and regional organizations to provide other\n               States which may need so, upon their request, with the financial, material and\n               technical assistance that they may require to build the capacity mentioned above;\n                   6.   Calls on Member States to consider reinforcing legal and regulatory\n               measures to facilitate the sharing of information, both domestically and\n\n\n\n\n4/8                                                                                                     16-22533\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2331 (2016)\n\n\n           internationally, between law enforcement and regulatory actors and the private\n           sector as well as within the private sector, in line with applicable international and\n           national law, to help identify and detect suspicious financial activity related to\n           trafficking in persons that finances terrorism, while also recognizing the need to\n           protect the confidentiality of personal data of victims;\n                 7.     Recalls its decision, in resolution 1373 (2001) that all Member States\n           shall ensure that any person who participates in the financing, planning, preparation\n           or perpetration of terrorist acts or in supporting terrorist acts is brought to justice,\n           urges all States to ensure that their domestic laws and regulations establish serious\n           criminal offenses sufficient to provide the ability to prosecute and penalize in a\n           manner duly reflecting the seriousness of the offence of trafficking in persons\n           committed with the purpose of supporting terrorist organizations or individual\n           terrorists, including through the financing of and recruitment for the commission of\n           terrorist acts;\n                 8.    Stresses that acts of trafficking in persons in armed conflict and sexual\n           and gender-based violence in conflict, including when it is associated to trafficking\n           in persons in armed conflict, can be part of the strategic objectives and ideology of,\n           and used as a tactic by certain terrorist groups, by, inter alia, incentivizing\n           recruitment; supporting financing through the sale, trade and trafficking of women,\n           girls and boys; destroying, punishing, subjugating, or controlling communities;\n           displacing populations from strategically important zones; extracting information\n           for intelligence purposes from male and female detainees; advancing ideology\n           which includes the suppression of women’s rights and the use of religious\n           justification to codify and institutionalize sexual slavery and exert control over\n           women’s reproduction; and therefore encourages all relevant actors at the national,\n           regional and international level to ensure that such considerations are taken into\n           account, in accordance with their obligations under international law and national\n           laws;\n                 9.     Underlines further that achieving the strategic objectives noted above\n           may entail the use of various forms of sexual violence in conflict, also when\n           associated with trafficking in persons in the context of armed conflict, including,\n           inter alia, rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution and forced pregnancy, and notes\n           that these different forms of sexual violence in conflict may require tailored\n           programmatic responses including specialized medical and psychosocial assistance\n           and analysis as a basis for action;\n                 10. Affirms that victims of trafficking in persons in all its forms, and of\n           sexual violence, committed by terrorist groups should be classified as victims of\n           terrorism with the purpose of rendering them eligible for official support,\n           recognition and redress available to victims of terrorism, have access to national\n           relief and reparations programmes, contribute to lifting the sociocultural stigma\n           attached to this category of crime and facilitate rehabilitation and reintegration\n           efforts; furthermore emphasizes that survivors should benefit from relief and\n           recovery programmes, including health care, psychosocial care, safe shelter\n           livelihood support and legal aid and that services should include provision for\n           women with children born as a result of wartime rape, as well as men and boys who\n           may have been victims of sexual violence in conflict, including when it is associated\n           with trafficking in persons in armed conflict;\n\n\n\n\n16-22533                                                                                                       5/8\n\nS/RES/2331 (2016)\n\n\n                     11. Condemns all acts of trafficking, particularly the sale or trade in persons\n               undertaken by the “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant” (ISIL, also known as\n               Da’esh), including of Yazidis and other persons belonging to religious and ethn ic\n               minorities, and condemns also any such trafficking in persons and violations and\n               other abuses committed by Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab, the Lord’s Resistance Army,\n               and other terrorist or armed groups for the purpose of sexual slavery, sexual\n               exploitation, and forced labour, recognizes the importance of collecting and\n               preserving evidence relating to such acts in order to ensure that those responsible\n               can be held accountable, and notes that such acts may also contribute to the funding\n               and sustainment of such groups or to serve other strategic objectives as outlined in\n               paragraph 5 above;\n                     12. Expresses its intention to consider targeted sanctions for individuals and\n               entities involved in trafficking in persons in areas affected by armed conflict and in\n               sexual violence in conflict, and encourages information exchange and other\n               appropriate forms of cooperation between relevant United Nations entities,\n               including the Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict and the Special\n               Representative on Children in Armed Conflict, within their respective mandates,\n               regarding initiatives and strategies to curb trafficking in persons in the context of\n               armed conflict;\n                     13. Expresses further its intention to integrate the issue of trafficking in\n               persons in the areas affected by armed conflict and sexual violence in conflict into\n               the work of relevant sanctions committees where in accordance with their mandates,\n               and to ensure that sexual violence in conflict expertise, including when it is\n               associated with trafficking in persons in the context of armed conflict consistently\n               informs the work of sanctions committees, and further expresses its intention to\n               invite the Special Representatives of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in\n               Conflict and on Children and Armed Conflict to brief these sanctions committees, as\n               necessary, in accordance with the Committee’s rules of procedure, and to provide\n               relevant information including, if applicable, the names of individuals involved in\n               the trafficking in persons who may meet the committees’ designation criteria;\n                     14. Requests the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team, when\n               consulting with Member States, to include in their discussions the issue of\n               trafficking in persons in the areas of armed conflict and the use of sexual vio lence in\n               armed conflict as it relates to ISIL (also known as Da’esh), Al-Qaida and associated\n               individuals, groups, undertakings and entities and to report to the Security Council\n               Committee established pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253\n               (2015) on these discussions as appropriate;\n                     15. Encourages Member States to ensure that existing national strategic\n               frameworks and national action plans against trafficking in persons national action\n               plans and other planning frameworks on women and peace and security, developed\n               through broad consultations, including with civil society, and comprehensive and\n               integrated national counter-terrorism strategies are complementary and mutually\n               reinforcing;\n                    16.

actions on stability in Syria and the region, including the devastating humanitarian\n               impact on the civilian populations which has led to the displacement of hundreds of\n               thousands of people, reaffirming its resolve to address all aspects of the threat posed\n               by ISIL (also known as Daesh), ANF and all other individuals, groups, undertakings\n

and freedom of movement of humanitarian personnel, including\n               medical personnel and humanitarian personnel exclusively engaged in medical\n               duties, and United Nations and its associated personnel and their assets, expressing\n               its ongoing admiration at the dedication and commitment of the Syrian Red\n               Crescent volunteers, and other

activities,\n                Noting that, despite ongoing challenges, the United Nations and their\n           implementing partners continue to deliver life-saving assistance to millions of\n           people in need in Syria through humanitarian aid delivered across borders, including\n           the delivery of food assistance for over 3 million people; non -food items for\n           2.9 million people; medical supplies for 9 million treatments, and water and sanitation\n           supplies for over 2.5 million people,\n                 Deeply disturbed by the number of people reached

that ISIL (also known as Daesh), ANF\n           and all other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with Al -Qaida,\n           are hindering the effective delivery of humanitarian assistance, and are responsible\n           for preventing aid delivery through deliberate interference and obstruction,\n                Reiterating further its grave concern at the continuing and growing\n           impediments to the delivery of humanitarian assistance across conflict lines ,\n           including through a decline in convoy approvals by the Syrian authorities,\n                 Expressing grave concern that access to medical care continues to be severely\n           restricted, and reiterating the need to respect the principle of medical neutrality,\n           facilitate free passage to all areas for medical personnel, equipment, transport and\n           supplies, including surgical items,\n                 Reaffirming the need to support the United Nations and their implementing\n           partners in their efforts to expand the delivery of humanitarian assistan ce to reach\n           all people in need in Syria, and further reaffirming its decision in resolution 2165\n           (2014) that all Syrian parties to the conflict shall enable the immediate and\n           unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance

humanitarian aid by the United Nations and their implementing partners, and\n           encouraging the United Nations and their implementing partners to continue to take\n           steps to scale up humanitarian deliveries into hard-to-reach and besieged areas,\n           including by using, as effectively as possible, border crossings under resolution\n           2165 (2014),\n\n\n\n\n16-22694                                                                                                      3/5\n\nS/RES/2332 (2016)\n\n\n                     Reiterating the need for all parties to respect and uphold the relevant\n               provisions of international humanitarian law and the United Nations guiding\n               principles of humanitarian emergency assistance, and emphasizing the importance\n               of upholding the principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence,\n               in the provision of humanitarian assistance, and recalling also the importance of\n               humanitarian deliveries reaching their intended beneficiaries,\n                     Noting the role that ceasefire agreements which are consistent with\n               humanitarian principles and international humanitarian law can play in facilitating\n               the delivery of humanitarian assistance in order to help save civilian lives, and\n               recalling in this regard that the Terms for the Cessation of Hostilities in Syria,\n               endorsed in its resolution 2268 (2016), when implemented, have benefited the\n               humanitarian situation,\n                    Expressing grave concern at the more than 4.8 million refugees, including\n               more than 3.4 million women and children, who have fled Syria as a result of\n               ongoing violence, and recognizing that the continued deterioration of the\n               humanitarian situation in Syria is further contributing to the movement of refugees\n               and poses risks to regional stability,\n                    Reiterating its deep appreciation for the significant and admirable efforts that\n               have been made by the countries of the region, notably Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey,\n               Iraq and Egypt, to accommodate Syrian refugees, including the approximately\n               2.4 million refugees who have fled Syria since the adoption of resolution 2139\n               (2014), and mindful of the immense costs and social challenges incurred by these\n               countries as a consequence of the crisis,\n                     Noting with concern that the international response to the Syrian and regional\n               crisis continues to fall short of meeting the needs as assessed by host governments\n               and the United Nations, therefore urging once again all Member States, based on\n               burden-sharing principles, to support the United Nations and the countries of the\n               region, including by adopting medium and long-term responses to alleviate the\n               impact on communities, providing increased, flexible and predictable funding as\n               well as increasing resettlement efforts, and noting the Syria Donors Conference held\n               in London in February 2016, hosted by the United Kingdom, Germany, Norway,\n               Kuwait and the United Nations,\n                     Noting with grave concern that impunity in Syria contributes to widespread\n               violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian\n               law, stressing the need to end impunity for these violations and abuses, and\n               re-emphasizing in this regard the need that those who have committed or are\n               otherwise responsible for such violations and abuses in Syria must be brought to\n               justice,\n                     Emphasizing that the humanitarian situation will continue to deteriorate\n               further in the absence of a political solution to the crisis,\n                    Determining that the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Syria continues to\n               constitute a threat to peace and security in the region,\n                     Underscoring that Member States are obligated under Article 25 of the Charter\n               of the United Nations to accept and carry out the Council’s decisions,\n\n\n\n\n4/5                                                                                                    16-22694\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2332 (2016)\n\n\n                 1.   Reiterates its demand that all parties, in particular the Syrian authorities,\n           immediately comply with their obligations under international law, including\n           international humanitarian law and international human rights law as applicable, and\n           further demands the full and immediate implementation of all the provisions of\n           Security Council resolutions 2139 (2014), 2165 (2014), and 2191 (2014) and 2258\n           (2015), and noting also the Presidential Statements of 2 October 2013\n           (S/PRST/2013/15), 24 April 2015 (S/PRST/2015/10) and 17 August 2015\n           (S/PRST/2015/15) and recalls that some of the violations and abuses committed in\n           Syria may amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity;\n                 2.   Decides to renew the decisions in paragraphs 2 and 3 of Security Council\n           resolution 2165 (2014) for a further period of twelve months, that is, until\n           10 January 2018;\n                 3.    Requests the Syrian authorities to expeditiously respond to all requests\n           for cross-line deliveries submitted by the United Nations and their implementing\n           partners, and to give such requests positive consideration;\n                 4.   Reiterates that the situation will continue to deteriorate further in the\n           absence of a political solution to the Syrian conflict and recalls its demand for the\n           full and immediate implementation of resolution 2254 (2015) to facilitate a Syrianled and Syrian-owned political transition, in accordance with the Geneva\n           Communiqué as set forth in the ISSG Statements, in order to end the conflict in\n           Syria, and stresses again that the Syrian people will decide the future of Syria;\n                5.

processes, welcoming all efforts to promote bicommunal contacts and events\n               including, inter alia, on the part of all United Nations bodies on the island, and\n               urging the

Noting with concern that while improving, the security situation in the CAR\n               remains fragile, due to the continued presence of armed groups and other armed\n               spoilers, as well as the ongoing violence, the lack of capacity of the national\n               security forces, the limited authority of the State over al l of the CAR territory, and\n               the persistence of the root causes of the conflict,\n                    Emphasizing that any sustainable solution to the crisis in the CAR should be\n               CAR-owned, including the political process, and should prioritize reconciliation of\n               the Central African people, through an inclusive process that involves men and\n               women of all social, economic,

eligible demobilized members to integrate into the national security and\n               defence forces, and to ensure that FACA soldiers of all prefectures enjoy equal\n               access to the

(CEMAC) to contribute to the\n               training of the national security and defence forces in support of the CAR\n               authorities and in coordination with EUTM,\n                    Calling upon the CAR authorities to ensure that perpetrators of violations of\n               applicable international law, including those committed against chil dren and\n               women, are excluded from the CAR security and armed forces,\n                     Welcoming the commitment of the Secretary-General to enforce strictly his\n               zero-tolerance policy on sexual exploitation and abuse, expressing grave concern\n               over numerous allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse reportedly committed by\n               peacekeepers in the CAR, stressing the urgent need for troop - and policecontributing countries and MINUSCA to promptly investigate those cases in a\n               credible and transparent manner and to hold accountabl e those responsible for such\n               criminal offenses or misconduct, and further stressing the need to prevent such\n               exploitation and abuse and to improve how these allegations are addressed,\n                   Welcoming the Secretary-General’s Report of 29 September 2016 (S/2016/824)\n               submitted pursuant to resolution 2301 (2016),\n                     Further

violence and instability in the CAR, and the\n               threats of violence, human rights violations and abuses and international\n               humanitarian law violations, including against women and children; the attacks\n               against United Nations peacekeepers, international forces and humanitarian\n               personnel; the continuous cycle of provocations and reprisals by armed groups, both\n               inside and outside Bangui and denial of humanitarian access, committed by armed\n               elements, which continue to adversely affect the dire humanitarian situation faced\n               by the civilian population and to impede humanitarian access to vulnera ble\n               populations,\n\n\n\n\n2/12

Stressing the urgent and imperative need to end impunity in the CAR and to\n           bring to justice perpetrators of these acts, some of which may amount to crimes\n           under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), to which the\n           CAR is a State party, noting in this regard the opening by the Prosecutor of the\n           International Criminal Court on 24 September 2014 of an investigation following\n           the request of the national authorities on alleged crimes committed since 2012 and\n           welcoming the ongoing cooperation by the CAR authorities in this regard,\n                Stressing the importance of putting in place an effective national judicial\n           system, underlining the need to bolster national accountability mechanisms,\n           including through further implementation of the 7 August 2014 Memorandum of\n           Understanding (MoU) on Urgent Temporary Measures, and the law promulgated in\n           June 2015 to establish a national Special Criminal Court to investigate and\n           prosecute serious crimes committed in the CAR, and recalling the import ance of\n           continuous support of the international community to this process pursued by the\n           CAR authorities,\n                 Emphasizing that those engaging in or providing support for acts that\n           undermine the peace, stability or security of the CAR, threaten or impede the\n           political stabilization and reconciliation process, target civilians and attack\n           peacekeepers may meet criteria for designation under sanctions as stated in this\n           resolution,\n                Expressing concern that illicit trafficking, trade, exploitation and smuggling of\n           natural resources including gold, diamonds and wildlife has a negative impact in the\n           economy and the development of the country, and that it continues to threaten the\n           peace and stability of the CAR,\n                 Taking note of the Kimberley Process (KP) Administrative Decision on\n           Resumption of Exports of Rough Diamonds from the CAR, its annexed Operational\n           Framework, and the work of the KP Monitoring Team for CAR and recognizing the\n           extraordinary efforts of the CAR Authorities and the KP, to responsibly and\n           progressively, through pre-established “compliant zones”, reintegrate the CAR into\n           the global diamond trade,\n                Noting with concern the findings of the Panel of Experts’ final report that the\n           Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) remains active in the CAR, has established li nks to\n           other armed groups and is generating revenues from the exploitation and trade of\n           natural resources, including gold, diamonds and wildlife poaching,\n                 Further noting with concern the ongoing transnational criminal activity in the\n           region, emphasizing the risk of the situation in the CAR providing a conducive\n           environment for further transnational criminal activities, such as those involving\n           arms trafficking and the use of mercenaries as well as a potential breeding ground\n           for radical networks,\n                 Acknowledging in this respect the important contribution the Council -\n           mandated arms embargo can make to countering the illicit transfer of arms and\n           related materiel in the CAR and its region, and in supporting post -conflict\n           peacebuilding, DDRR and SSR processes, recalling its resolutions 2117 (2013),\n           2127 (2013), 2220 (2015) and 2262 (2016) and expressing grave concern at the\n           threat to peace and security in the CAR arising from the illicit transfer, destabilizing\n\n\n\n\n17-01286

               Reiterating the importance of all Member States’ full implementation of the\n               measures set out in resolutions 2127 (2013), 2134 (2014), 2196 (2015), 2262 (2016)\n               and this resolution, including the obligation to implement targeted sanctions against\n               individuals and entities designated by the Sanctions Committee established pursuant\n               to resolution 2127 (2013) (the Committee),\n                    Noting the critical importance of effective implementation of the sanctions\n               regime, including the key role that neighbouring States, as well as regional and\n               subregional organizations, can play in this regard and encouraging efforts to further\n               enhance cooperation and implementation of the sanctions regime in all its aspects,\n                     Noting with concern the reports that sanctioned individuals are travelling in\n               the region in violation of the travel ban, and underlining that individuals or entities\n               who knowingly facilitate the travel of a sanctioned individual in violation of the\n               travel ban may be determined by the Committee to have met the designation criteria\n               for sanctions,\n                     Welcoming efforts by the Chair of the Committee and the President of the\n               Security Council to support and strengthen the implementation of the measures\n               imposed pursuant to resolution 2262 (2016) through engagement with Member\n               States, especially regional States, and welcoming in this regard the travel by the\n               Chair and Committee members to the CAR in May 2016,\n                     Welcoming the outcome of the international support conference held in\n               Brussels in November 2016 and the pledges announced during this conference,\n               encouraging Member States to swiftly disburse these pledges, and encourages\n               further mobilization at the African Union Solidarity Conference for the CAR to be\n               held in Addis Ababa in February 2017,\n                     Determining that the situation in the CAR continues to constitute a threat to\n               international peace and security in the region,\n                    Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n\n               Arms embargo\n                     1.

Expresses concern that the Panel of Experts was not able to access\n               Darfur since the adoption of resolution 2265 (2016), underscores the need for the\n               Panel to have full and unfettered access to all of Darfur to fulfil its mandat e,\n               throughout the length of its mandate, insists that the Government of Sudan remove\n               all restrictions, limitations and bureaucratic impediments imposed on the work of\n               the Panel of Experts, including by issuing timely multiple -entry visas to all\n               members of the Panel of Experts for the duration of its mandate, and by waiving the\n               requirement of Darfur travel permits for said Panel members and enhance its\n               cooperation and information sharing with the Panel, and stresses that it will monitor\n               the degree of cooperation of the Government of Sudan on such matters;\n\n\n\n\n4/8                                                                                                    17-01956\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/2340 (2017)\n\n\n                6.

Recalls the Government of Sudan’s obligations under resolution 1591\n           (2005), including the requirement to request advance approval from the Committee\n           for the movement of military equipment and supplies into the Darfur region;\n                  10. Calls upon the Government of Sudan to address the illicit transfer,\n           destabilizing accumulation, and misuse of small arms and light weapons in Darfur,\n           which also contributes to instability in the region, and further to ensure the safe and\n           effective management, storage and security of their stockpiles of small arms and\n           light weapons, and the collection and/or destruction of surplus, seized, unmarked, or\n           illicitly held weapons and ammunition, and calls upon the Government of Sudan\n           and other signatories to swiftly fulfil their commitments under the DDPD to\n           implement and complete disarmament, demobilization and reintegration;\n                  11. Expresses its concern that certain items continue to be converted for\n           military purposes and transferred to Darfur, and urges all States to be mindful of\n           this risk in light of the measures contained in resolution 1591 (2005);\n\n           Implementation\n                 12. Condemns the continued violations of the measures contained in\n           paragraphs 7 and 8 of resolution 1556 (2004) and paragraph 7 of resolution 1591\n           (2005), as updated in paragraph 9 of resolution 1945 (2010) and 4 of resolution\n           2035 (2012) and directs the Committee, in line with its mandate and guidelines, to\n           consult as soon as possible with any Member State about which the Committee\n           deems there is credible information that provides reasonable grounds to believe the\n           State is facilitating such violations or any other acts of non -compliance with these\n           measures;\n                 13. Expresses its concern that the travel ban and asset freeze on designated\n           individuals is not being implemented by all Member States, requests the Panel to\n           share with the Committee any information regarding possible non -compliance with\n           the travel ban and asset freeze as soon as possible, and directs the Committee to\n           respond effectively to any reports of non-compliance by Member States with\n\n\n\n\n17-01956                                                                                                        5/8\n\nS/RES/2340 (2017)\n\n\n               paragraph 3 of resolution 1591 (2005) and resolution 1672 (2006), including by\n               engaging immediately with all relevant parties;\n                     14.

Urges all States, in particular those in the region, to report to the\n               Committee on the actions they have taken to implement measures imposed by\n               resolutions 1591 (2005) and 1556 (2004), including imposition of targeted\n               measures;\n                    16. Expresses its intention, following the first report, to review the state of\n               implementation, including obstacles to full and effective implementation of the\n               measures, imposed in resolutions 1591 (2005) and 1945 (2010), with a view to\n               ensuring full compliance;\n                     17. Regrets that some individuals of the Government of Sudan and armed\n               groups in Darfur continue to commit violence against civilians, impede the peace\n               process, and disregard the demands of the Council, expresses its intention to impose\n               targeted sanctions against individuals and entities that meet the listing criteria of\n               paragraph 3 (c) of resolution 1591 (2005), and encourages the Panel of Experts, in\n               coordination with the Joint African Union/United Nations Mediation, to provide to\n               the Committee when appropriate the names of any individuals, groups, or entities\n               that may meet the listing criteria;\n                     18. Deplores the attacks against UNAMID while acknowledging that such\n               attacks have been less frequent in 2016, and calls upon the Government of Sudan to\n               swiftly investigate and bring the perpetrators to justic e, taking into account the\n               findings of the 2014, 2015 and 2016 final reports of the Panel of Experts, and the\n               Secretary-General’s report of 23 December 2016 (S/2016/1109), and reaffirms its\n               deep condolences to the Governments and families of those killed;\n                     19. Condemns the use of civilian establishments, in particular the camps for\n               IDPs, by the armed groups, including those opposing the Government of Sudan, to\n               gain a military advantage in a manner that places civilians and civilian objects at\n               risk from the dangers arising from armed conflict;\n                    20. Requests the Panel of Experts to continue to investigate the financing and\n               role of armed, military, and political groups in attacks against civilians and\n               UNAMID personnel in Darfur;\n                     21. Recalls that individuals and entities who plan, sponsor or participate in\n               such attacks constitute a threat to stability in Darfur and may therefore meet the\n               designation criteria provided for in paragraphs 3 (c) of resolution 1591 (2005), and\n               expresses its intention to impose targeted sanctions on individuals and entities who\n               plan, sponsor or participate in such attacks;\n                    22.

          identifying and raising awareness on the challenges related to the illicit trade of\n           cultural property as it relates to the financing of terrorism pursuant to resolutions\n

in line with these resolutions,\n                 Expressing in this regard concern at the continuing use in a globalized society,\n           by terrorists and their supporters, of new information

Decides that the military component of MINUSTAH shall gradually\n           drawdown during the final six-month period, fully withdrawing from Haiti by\n           15 October 2017;\n                 3.    Reaffirms that, in the framework of the improvement of the rule of law in\n           Haiti, strengthening the justice sector and the capacity of the HNP, including in its\n           efforts to strengthen the Directorate of Prisons Administration (DAP) management,\n           is paramount for the Government of Haiti to take timely and full responsibility for\n           Haiti’s security needs;\n                 4.    Requests the Secretary-General to begin immediately to reduce\n           MINUSTAH tasks in a phased manner ensuring that critical functions are defined\n           and appropriate support capacity maintained, and further requests MINUSTAH to\n           prioritize efforts and to ensure a successful and responsible transition to United\n           Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH), as established in\n           paragraph 5, and further strengthening the institutional and operational capacities of\n           the HNP;\n                5.    Decides to establish a follow-on peacekeeping mission in Haiti,\n           MINUJUSTH, which shall be composed of up to seven Formed Police Units (FPUs)\n           (or 980 FPU personnel) and 295 Individual Police Officers (IPOs), for an initial\n           period of six months from 16 October 2017 until 15 April 2018, and emphasizes the\n           importance of reaching the above-mentioned levels;\n                6.   Further decides MINUJUSTH shall be mandated to assist the\n           Government of Haiti to strengthen rule of law institutions in Haiti; further support\n           and develop the HNP; and engage in human rights monitoring, reporting, and\n           analysis;\n                7.   Further decides that MINUJUSTH will be headed by a Special\n           Representative of the Secretary-General, who will also play a good offices and\n           advocacy role at the political level to ensure full implementation of the mandate;\n                 8.   Underscores that MINUJUSTH shall retain seven FPUs, reduced from\n           MINUSTAH’s current 11, deployed to five regional departments to safeguard the\n           security gains of the past years through the provision of operational support to the\n           HNP and that the number of FPUs shall be adjusted downward and harmonized with\n           the gradual build-up of the HNP within a projected two-year timeframe;\n               9.    Stresses that the 295 IPOs reduced from MINUSTAH’s authorized 1,001\n           would play a key role in the implementation of the priorities in the HNP Strategic\n           Development Plan 2017-2021;\n                10. Further underscores that the 38 government-provided corrections\n           personnel reduced from the current level of 50 would play a key role in more fully\n           engaging the HNP in efforts to strengthen the DAP management;\n                 11. Decides that the rule of law efforts of MINUJUSTH, including\n           community violence reduction efforts and quick impact projects, as ap propriate, will\n           be part of a strategy towards a continued, progressive transition to development\n           actors;\n\n\n\n17-06078                                                                                                     3/5\n\nS/RES/2350 (2017)\n\n                   12. Authorizes MINUJUSTH to use all necessary means to carry out its\n               mandate to support and develop the HNP and in paragraph 13;\n                    13. Further authorizes the Mission to protect civilians under imminent threat\n               of physical violence, within its capabilities and areas of deployment, as needed;\n                    14. Requests the Secretary-General to ensure medical enablers, and to also\n               ensure air assets necessary to deploy security forces rapidly throughout Haiti and in\n               support of the HNP;\n                    15.

 relations and the normalization of their relations, and stressing the importance of the\n               African Union’s continued engagement,\n                     Reaffirming its previous resolutions 1265 (1999), 1296 (2000), 1674 (2006),\n               1738 (2006), 1894 (2009) 2175 (2014) and 2222 (2015) on the protection of\n               civilians in armed conflict; 1612 (2005),

against women and children, taking note that there have been no\n               developments with regard to the operationalization of human rights monitoring in\n               the Abyei Area, and reiterating its concern at the lack of cooperation by the parties\n               with the Secretary-General to this end,\n                     Recalling that its resolution 2086 (2013) reiterates the

women in\n               post-conflict situations and on children and armed conflict, and emphasizing that\n               persistent barriers to full implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), and subsequent\n               resolutions on women, peace, and security, including 2242 (2015), will only be\n               dismantled through dedicated commitment to women’s empowerment, participation,\n               and human rights, and through concerted leadership, co nsistent information and\n               action, and support, to build women’s engagement in all levels of

presented\n               by the AUHIP in November 2011 relating to the Safe Demilitarized Border Zone\n               (SDBZ), their agreement that the centreline is only the location of the separation\n               line between armed forces, as well as the parties’ agreement to activate all\n               mechanisms relating to the JPSM as provided for in relevant agreements, and\n               encouraging the parties to delineate or agree on the coordinates of, and demilitarize\n               the SDBZ, including the “14 Mile Area”, and to fully implement the Joint Border\n

underlining the importance of fully establishing and maintaining effective JBVMM\n               monitoring of the SDBZ, including the “14 Mile Area”, and further urging the\n               parties to cooperate in allowing the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei\n               (UNISFA) to fulfill its responsibility to provide security for the JBVMM ’s mission\n               to monitor the SDBZ,\n\n\n2/8                                                                                                      17-07830\n\n                                                                                               S/RES/2352 (2017)\n\n                 Regretting the lack of significant progress made by both parties on the\n           benchmarks for the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism (JBVMM)\n           and the unnecessary impediments imposed upon the JBVMM, reducing its ability to\n           effectively monitor the SDBZ,\n                Noting with concern the absence of local institutions to manage the Abyei Area\n           and lack of progress in convening an Abyei Joint Oversight Committee (AJOC)\n           meeting since March 2015,\n                 Recognizing the importance of regular dialogue between the Governments of\n           Sudan and South Sudan, recalling the United Nations Security Council decision in\n           resolution 2046 (2012) that the parties must resume immediately negotiations to\n           reach agreement on Abyei final status under the auspices of the AUHIP, calling\n           upon all parties to engage constructively in the process mediated by the AUHIP\n           towards final agreement on the final status of the Abyei Area, and stressing that the\n           parties must immediately implement pending aspects of the 20 June 2011\n           Agreement, in particular to resolve the dispute over the Abyei Area Agreement, and\n           to resolve the dispute over the Abyei Area Council, and immediately establish the\n           Abyei Area Administration and Abyei Police Service,\n                Stressing that both countries and communities will have much to gain if they\n           show restraint and choose the path of dialogue instead of resorting to violence or\n           provocations,\n                 Commending the continued assistance provided to the parties by the AUHIP,\n           the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the Federal Democratic Republic\n           of Ethiopia, the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Sudan and South Sudan,\n           and UNISFA,\n                 Further commending the efforts of UNISFA in effectively carrying out its\n           mandate, including by its ongoing facilitation of peaceful migration throughout the\n           Abyei Area, conflict prevention, mediation and deterrence, and expressing its deep\n           appreciation for the work of the troop-contributing countries, and strongly\n           underscoring the unacceptability of any attack on United Nations personnel,\n           including the firing on UNISFA patrols in early 2017 by unknown assailants, and\n           reiterating that such attacks should be swiftly and thoroughly investigated, and that\n           those responsible should be held to account,\n                 Taking note of the security situation in the Abyei Area as characterized by the\n           11 April 2017 Secretary-General’s report (S/2017/312), and acknowledging\n           UNISFA’s contribution to enhanced peace and stability since its deployment and\n           expressing its determination to prevent the recurrence of violence against or\n           displacements of civilians and to avert intercommunal conflict,\n                Reiterating its deep concern regarding the public administration and rule of\n           law vacuum in the Abyei Area, due to continued delays in the establishment of the\n           Abyei Area Administration and Council and Police, including a special unit to deal\n           with particular issues related to nomadic migration, which are essential to maintain\n           law and order and prevent intercommunal conflict in Abyei, and in this regard,\n           welcoming UNISFA’s efforts to support and strengthen community protection\n           committees, and to continue engaging with both governments on this issue,\n                 Noting with concern the continued delay in establishing the temporary\n           institutions and resolving the final status of Abyei and that the continued threat of\n           intercommunal violence contributes to heightened tensions in the Abyei Area,\n           including those ongoing tensions that prevent UNISFA’s and other agencies’\n           Sudanese staff from returning to Abyei,\n\n\n\n17-07830                                                                                                    3/8\n\nS/RES/2352 (2017)\n\n                     Urging all parties to refrain from any unilateral action that could aggravate\n               intercommunal relations within the Abyei Area, expressing concern over the\n               continued implications of what the AUPSC described in their 6 November 2013\n               press statement as “the decision by the Ngok Dinka to conduct a unilateral\n               referendum” and also in this context, taking note that the Government of Suda n\n               proceeded with its April 2015 national elections in Abyei,\n                     Bearing in mind the current humanitarian situation in which humanitarian\n               actors continue to provide assistance to 160,000 people in the Abyei Area and the\n               importance of coherence of United Nations assistance in the region, and further\n               stressing the urgency of facilitating the delivery of humanitarian assistance to all\n               affected populations,\n                     Affirming the importance of voluntary, safe, dignified return and sustainable\n               reintegration of displaced persons, and of peaceful and orderly migration cycles\n               respecting the traditional migratory routes from Sudan to South Sudan through\n               Abyei, and urging UNISFA to continue to take measures as necessary to ensure\n               security in the Abyei Area in accordance with its mandate,\n                     Recalling its resolution 2117 (2013), and expressing grave concern at the\n               threat to peace and security in Abyei arising from the illicit transfer, destabilizing\n               accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons, welcoming the\n               completion of infrastructure, systems, and policy for weapons confiscation, storage\n               and destruction, and calling on UNISFA to ensure adequate protection of this\n               infrastructure,\n                    Expressing concern about the residual threat of landmines and explosive\n               remnants of war in the Abyei Area, which hinders the safe return of displaced\n               persons to their homes, safe migration, and livelihood activities,\n                     Taking note of the 5 April 2017 and 11 April 2017 Secretary-General’s reports\n               (S/2017/293 and S/2017/312), including the Secretary-General’s call on the parties\n               to renew efforts to address the issues that have remained unresolved, imple ment the\n               20 June 2011 Abyei Agreement and remove all operational obstacles faced by\n               UNISFA,\n                     Recalling that the Security Council welcomed in resolution 2205 (2015) the\n               decision of the Secretary-General to appoint a civilian head of mission,\n                    Recognizing that the current situation in Abyei and along the border between\n               the Sudan and South Sudan continues to constitute a serious threat to international\n               peace and security,\n                     1.

Regrets that an AJOC meeting has not yet taken place, and urges the\n           implementation of previous AJOC decisions and the 20 June 2011 Agreement,\n           recalls the need for African Union initiatives to support this goal and encourages its\n           renewed engagement, and requests the Secretary-General to provide an assessment\n           of progress on these issues in his regular reports;\n                 6.   Expresses renewed concern regarding the delays and stalled efforts to\n           fully operationalize the JBVMM, recalls the Secretary-General’s benchmarks and\n           recommendations regarding JBVMM operations, takes note that continued\n           investment in achieving full operational capability of the JBVMM should be based\n           on a set of conditions, including resolution of the dispute over the SDBZ, and calls\n           upon the Government of Sudan and the Government of South Sudan to make timely\n           and effective use of the JBVMM, JPSM and other agreed joint mechanisms to\n           ensure the security and transparency of the SDBZ, including the “14 Mile Area”;\n                 7.

Decides that this extension of the mandate modification set forth in\n           resolution 2024 (2011) shall be the final such extension unless both parties\n           demonstrate through their actions clear commitment and steadfast guarantees for\n           implementation of the JBVMM, in line with the steps outlined in paragraph 7, and\n           requests the Secretary-General to report on the status of whether the mechanism has\n           reached full operating capability by 15 October 2017;\n                 9.

Urges renewed efforts to determine conclusively the SDBZ centreline on\n           the ground, and reiterates that the centreline of the SDBZ in no way prejudices the\n           current or future legal status of the border, ongoing negotiations on the disputed and\n           claimed areas, and demarcation of the borders;\n                11. Underscores that UNISFA’s protection of civilians mandate as set out in\n           paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011) includes taking the necessary actions to\n           protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence, irrespec tive of the\n           source of such violence, and commending UNISFA’s efforts in that regard;\n\n\n\n17-07830                                                                                                     5/8\n\nS/RES/2352 (2017)\n\n                     12. Condemns the intermittent presence of South Sudan security service\n               personnel and the deployment of Diffra Oil Police units in the Abyei Area, in\n               violation of the 20 June 2011 Agreement, as well as any entry of armed militias into\n               the territory, and reiterates its demands that immediately and without preconditions\n               the Government of South Sudan fully redeploy its security service personnel from\n               the Abyei Area and that the Government of Sudan redeploy the Oil Police in Diffra\n               from the Abyei Area, and further reiterates, in accordance with relevant resolutions,\n               in particular resolution 1990 (2011) and resolution 2046 (2012), that the Abyei Area\n               shall be demilitarized from any forces, as well as armed elements of the local\n               communities, other than UNISFA and the Abyei Police Service;\n                    13. Supports the AJOC’s 3 May 2013 and 30 March 2015 decisions on\n               Abyei’s status as a weapons-free area, underscores the AUPSC’s concern in its\n               7 May 2013 Communiqué over reports that various communities living in Abyei are\n               heavily armed, recalls that the 20 June 2011 Agreement on Temporary\n               Arrangements for the Administration and Security of the Abyei Area stipulates that\n               Abyei should be a weapons-free area and that only UNISFA is authorized to carry\n               weapons inside the area, and in this regard, urges the two Governments to take all\n               necessary steps to ensure that Abyei is effectively demilitarized, including through\n               disarmament programs as necessary;\n                     14. Reaffirms that UNISFA may undertake weapons confiscation and\n               destruction in the Abyei Area as authorized under resolution 1990 (2011), consistent\n               with its mandate and within its existing capabilities, in coordination with the\n               signatories of the June 2011 Agreement on the Temporary Arrangements for the\n               Administration and Security of the Abyei Area, the AJOC, and the Misseriya and\n               Ngok Dinka communities and consistent with the previous AJOC decision to\n               establish the Area as a “weapons free area”, and reiterates its request that UNISFA,\n               observe, document and report on the movement of weapons into Abyei and the\n               presence, destruction and confiscation of weapons within Abyei as part of the\n               Secretary-General’s regular reporting cycle;\n                     15. Requests UNISFA to continue its dialogue with the AJOC and with the\n               Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities on effective strategies and oversight\n               mechanisms for ensuring full compliance by all relevant parties with Abyei ’s status\n               as a weapons-free area, with a particular priority placed on the urgent elimination of\n               heavy or crew-served weapons, as well as rocket-propelled grenades, and calls upon\n               the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan, the AJOC, and the Misseriya and Ngok\n               Dinka communities to extend full cooperation to UNISFA in this regard;\n                    16. Urges the two Governments immediately to take steps to implement\n               confidence-building measures among the respective communities in the Abyei Area,\n               ensuring women are involved at all stages, including through reconciliation\n               processes at the grass-roots level as well as through support for the ongoing efforts\n               of non-governmental organizations engaging in peacebuilding, and by fully\n               supporting UNISFA’s efforts in promoting community dialogue, strongly welcomes\n               continued engagement between the Ngok Dinka and Misseriya communities, and\n               strongly urges all Abyei communities to exercise maximum restraint in all their\n               engagements and to desist from inflammatory acts or statements that may lead to\n               violent clashes;\n                     17. Underscores that women’s participation at all levels of inter-community\n               dialogue is critical to ensure a credible and legitimate process and calls upon all\n               parties to promote full and equal participation of women;\n                    18. Welcomes the positive developments at the grass-roots level between the\n               Ngok Dinka and Misseriya communities, particularly their noted commitment to\n               reconciliation and cooperation, as demonstrated by the resumption of trading\n\n6/8                                                                                                     17-07830\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/2352 (2017)\n\n           activities and the monitoring of stolen property and livestock, including the prompt\n           return of or provision of compensation for stolen property to victims of crime;\n                 19. Welcomes UNISFA initiatives, to support community dialogue and efforts\n           by the Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities to strengthen inter -communal\n           relationships and facilitate stability and reconciliation in the Abyei Area, including\n           the facilitation of joint peace committee meetings between both communities and\n           re-opening of a common market;\n                20. Welcomes UNISFA’s continued efforts, within existing capabilities and\n           resources, and in close coordination with the Misseriya and Ngok Dinka\n           communities, to strengthen the capacities of Community Protection Committees in\n           order to assist with management of law and order processes in Abyei and to\n           continue engaging with both governments on this issue;\n                 21.

Expresses its intention to continue reviewing as appropriate the mandate\n           of UNISFA for possible reconfiguration of the force in light of the compliance by\n           Sudan and South Sudan with the decisions set forth in resolution 2046 (2012) and\n           their commitments as set forth in the Agreements of 20 June, 29 June, 30 July 2011\n           and 27 September 2012, including the redeployment of all forces from the SDBZ,\n           achieving full operational capability for the JBVMM and the Ad Hoc Committees,\n           as well as completing the full demilitarization of the Abyei Area;\n                23.

Noting with concern that terrorist craft distorted narratives that are based on\n               the misinterpretation and misrepresentation of religion to justify violence, which are\n               utilized to recruit supporters and Foreign Terrorist Fighters (FTFs), mobilize\n               resources, and garner support from sympathizers, in particular by exploiting\n               information and communications technologies, including through the Internet and\n               social media,\n                     Noting as well the urgent need to globally counter the activities of the

present\n               a proposal to the Security Council for a “comprehensive international framework”\n               to effectively counter, in compliance with international law, the ways that

Directs the Counter Terrorism Committee, with the support of the\n           Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED), and in consultation\n           with the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF) and other key\n           actors, to facilitate international cooperation to implement the Comprehensive\n           International Framework;\n                4.

    to remain so, unless and until a comprehensive settlement covering all aspects of the\n               Middle East problem can be reached,\n                     Having considered the report of the

that the ultimate goal is for\n               the peacekeepers to return to their positions in UNDOF’s area of operations as soon\n               as practicable,\n                    Emphasizing the importance of Security Council and troop-contributing\n               countries having access to reports and information related to UNDOF’s current\n               temporary configuration, and reinforcing that such information assists the Security\n               Council with evaluating, mandating, and reviewing UNDOF and with effective\n               consultation with troop-contributing countries,\n                    Underscoring the need for UNDOF to have at its disposal all necessary means\n               and resources to carry out its mandate safely and securely, i ncluding technology and\n               equipment to enhance its observation of the area of separation and the ceasefire line,\n               and to improve force protection, as appropriate, and recalling that the theft of\n               United Nations weapons and ammunition, vehicles and other assets, and the looting\n               and destruction of United Nations facilities, are unacceptable,\n                     Expressing its profound appreciation to UNDOF’s military and civilian\n               personnel, including those from Observer Group Golan, for their service in an\n               increasingly challenging operating environment, underscoring the important\n               contribution UNDOF’s continued presence makes to peace and security in the\n               Middle East, welcoming steps taken to enhance the safety and security of UNDOF,\n               including Observer Group Golan, personnel, and stressing the need for continued\n               vigilance to ensure the safety and security of UNDOF and Observer Group Golan\n               personnel,\n                    Strongly condemning incidents threatening the safety and security of United\n               Nations personnel,\n                     Expressing its appreciation to UNDOF, including Observer Group Golan, for\n               the efforts made to upgrade and expand its positions on Mount Hermon, including\n               the establishment of new positions,\n                     Taking note of the Secretary-General’s plan for UNDOF to return to vacated\n               positions, starting with Camp Faouar on the Bravo side, based on a continuous\n               assessment of security in the area of separation and its surroundings, and continued\n               discussion and coordination with the parties,\n                   Recalls that UNDOF’s deployment and the 1974 Disengagement of Forces\n               Agreement are steps toward a just and durable peace on the basis of Security\n               Council Resolution 338 (1973),\n                    1.

Calls on all parties to cooperate fully with the operations of UNDOF, to\n           respect its privileges and immunities and to ensure its freedom of movement, as\n           well as the security of and unhindered and immediate access for the United Nations\n           personnel carrying out their mandate, including the unimpeded delivery of UNDOF\n           equipment and the temporary use of alternative ports of entry and departure, as\n           required, to ensure safe and secure troop rotation and resupply activities, in\n           conformity with existing agreements, and urges prompt report ing by the Secretary-General to the Security Council and troop-contributing countries of any actions that\n           impede UNDOF’s ability to fulfil its mandate;\n                 6.   Commends the establishment of a new temporary crossing point for\n           UNDOF personnel between the Alpha and Bravo sides for contingency situations, in\n           the absence of the established crossing at Quneitra, and in this regard, calls on the\n           parties to constructively engage with UNDOF, with the understanding that the\n           Quneitra crossing will be re-opened as soon as security conditions permit;\n                7.

Welcoming the overall improvement in security conditions, expressing concern\n               that the overall security situation in Darfur remains precarious due to activities of\n               militia groups, the incorporation of some militias into auxiliary units of the\n               Government of Sudan forces, which have become key actors in the conflict between\n               the Government of Sudan and the armed movements and in inter-communal conflict\n               and further exacerbate insecurity and threats against civilians in Darfur, the\n               prevalence of weapons, which contributes to large scale violence and is\n               undermining the establishment of the rule of law, acts of banditry and criminality\n               and the absence of rule of law,\n                     Noting that inter-communal conflicts remain one of the main sources of\n               violence in Darfur and expressing concern at ongoing inter-communal conflict over\n               land, access to resources, migration issues and tribal rivalries, including with the\n               involvement of paramilitary units and tribal militias, as well as at the persistence of\n               attacks against civilians, sexual and gender-based violence and that crucial\n               grievances that caused the conflict remain unaddressed,\n                     Welcoming the increased presence of the Sudanese Police in Darfur, as\n               compared to previous years, urging the Government of Sudan to continue to\n               increase the number and presence of police in Darfur, underlining the importance of\n               effective police and rule of law institutions to establishing a protective environment\n               and combating impunity in line with international human rights standards and\n               noting that whilst the Sudanese Police have increased their presence in Darfur, they\n               lack capacity to fully cover all the localities and protect communities and that the\n               presence and capacity of justice and corrections institutions across Darfur is limited\n               and impunity for serious crimes remains widespread, acknowledging efforts by the\n               local governments to restore law and order through the deployment of additional\n               police, corrections and judicial human and material resources across Darfur, noting\n               that these efforts should be consolidated and expanded to enhance the protective\n               environment for the civilian population, without any discrimination, particularly\n               with respect to violations and abuses of women’s rights and sexual and gender -\n               based violence as well as violations and abuses against children and recalling the\n               importance of national political leadership towards that goal,\n                      Emphasizing that those responsible for violations of international humanitarian\n               law and violations and abuses of human rights must be held accountable and that the\n               Government of Sudan bears the primary responsibility to protect civilians within its\n               territory and subject to its jurisdiction, including protection from crimes against\n               humanity and war crimes,\n                     Recalling its resolution 2117 (2013) and expressing concern at the threat to\n               peace and security in Darfur arising from the illicit transfer, destabilising\n               accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons, and the continued threats\n               to civilians posed by unexploded ordnance,\n\n               Humanitarian situation and displacement\n                    Whilst welcoming the reduction in the levels of new displacement in the first\n               quarter of 2017, expressing deep concern at the increase in displacement in 2016,\n               when armed conflict triggered the displacement of over 140,000 people, and of an\n\n\n2/15                                                                                                     17-10875\n\n                                                                                               S/RES/2363 (2017)\n\n           additional 40,000 who were displaced and subsequently returned to their places of\n           origin, with thousands more reported to be displaced but which could not be verified\n           due to access constraints, increasing the estimated total number of long-term\n           internally-displaced persons (IDPs) in Darfur to 2.7 million and a total number of\n           people in need of humanitarian assistance of 2.1 million,\n                 Calling on donors, the regional authorities in Darfur and the Government of\n           Sudan to provide the financial resources necessary to reach those in need, including\n           to the United Nations Country Team, and to undertake development activities in\n           support of the transition to peacebuilding, and urging the Government of Sudan and\n           the local authorities to ensure there is an environment conducive to the provision of\n           such activities, including improving access for development actors,\n                 Noting some improvements in the protective environment, expressing concern\n           that IDPs continue to face grave security challenges including being killed, raped,\n           or harassed as they conduct life-sustaining activities outside the camps and at the\n           increase in human rights violations and abuses in 2016 and the first quarter in 2017\n           and the worrying levels of conflict-related sexual and gender based violence and\n           grave violations against children,\n                 Underlining the importance of the Government of Sudan addressing the root\n           causes of conflict and extending state authority, including through the strengthening\n           of the rule of law and respect for human rights, throughout Darfur in order to make\n           the transition to peacebuilding possible,\n                 Expressing concern that the humanitarian and security situation, as well as the\n           lack of capacity of the regional authorities in Darfur, hinder the transition from\n           relief to stabilisation and development activities, urging the Government of Sudan,\n           with the support of interested donors, to ensure that the Darfur Peace Follow -up\n           Office is properly resourced in order to continue implementation of the work of the\n           former Darfur Regional Authority and the Commissions, urging donors and the\n           Government of Sudan to honour their pledges and fulfil their obligations in a timely\n           manner, including those commitments made at the conference in Doha in April\n           2013, affirming that development can support a lasting peace in Darfur, and calling\n           on donors to support the Darfur Development Strategy and ensure their funding is\n           adequately aligned to Darfur’s current development needs,\n                 Recalling the commitments made by the Government of Sudan and other\n           signatories to the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur (DDPD) to ensure the\n           unimpeded access of humanitarian assistance to the population in need and the\n           protection of humanitarian workers and their operations in areas under their control,\n           as well as to guarantee the United Nation-African Union Mission in Darfur\n           (UNAMID) unimpeded freedom of movement in all areas and at all times in Darfur\n           in the exercise of its mandate, and further recalling the role of the Implementation\n           Follow-up Commission (IFC) in assessing the implementation of the DDPD,\n\n           Operational Challenges\n                 Welcoming the improvement in freedom of movement for UNAMID and\n           humanitarian personnel as well as in the issuance of visas for UNAMID staff and\n           the processing of UNAMID containers, but expressing concern that restrictions\n           remain in place, including restrictions from the Government of Sudan on the\n           conduct of night patrols all over Darfur and restrictions preventing UNAMID from\n           reaching areas where there are instances of inter-communal conflict in a timely\n           fashion, and that obstacles, including bureaucratic obstacles, imposed on UNAMID\n           continue to jeopardise its ability to deliver on its mandate, including visa\n           restrictions targeted at some elements of UNAMID, particularly the human rights\n           section, and ongoing delays in the processing of UNAMID containers, recognising\n\n17-10875

issues and calling on the Government of\n               Sudan to continuously honour its commitment in full to ensure that humanitarian\n               personnel and UNAMID can operate in support of addressing basic needs,\n\n               Political situation\n                     Reiterating that there can be no military solution to the conflict in Darfur, and\n               that an inclusive political settlement is essential to re -establishing peace, and\n               underscoring the importance of fully addressing the root causes of the conflict,\n               including management of land, water and other resources, and the perceived bias by\n               the Government of Sudan towards one group over another, in the search for a\n               sustainable peace, which should rapidly deliver real benefits for the Darfuri people,\n               in this regard reiterating its support for the DDPD as a viable framework for the\n               peace process in Darfur, and for its accelerated implementation, as well as the\n               implementation of the AU High-Level Implementation Panel (AU-HIP) Roadmap\n               and mediated peace talks,\n                     Welcoming the signing of the AU-HIP Roadmap by the Government of Sudan\n               and the armed movements, urging all parties to make immediate progress on the\n               implementation of the Roadmap, including the signing of cessation of hostilities and\n               humanitarian assistance agreements among the parties consistent with the first phase\n               of the Roadmap, and further urging non-signatory groups to sign it without delay,\n                     Acknowledging the progress of the Sudan National Dialogue in October 2016,\n               including the adoption of a national document and the subseq uent appointment of\n               the First Vice President as Prime Minister and formation of a Government of\n               National Unity, and noting that major opposition groups in Sudan have not yet\n               participated in the National Dialogue out of concerns that the process being\n               conducted was taking place in an adverse political and human rights climate, noting\n               that the Government of Sudan has expressed openness for outstanding opposition\n               groups to join the National Dialogue process and encouraging the Government of\n               Sudan to create a more inclusive environment that would enable outstanding\n               opposition groups to contribute to this process, including by contributing to\n               modalities on implementing the recommendations agreed in the national document\n               and to join the National Dialogue process in the drafting of a new constitution,\n                    Noting that UNAMID’s ability to facilitate progress in implementation of the\n               DDPD is hampered by delays and the absence of an inclusive political settlement\n               between the Government of Sudan and non-signatory armed movements,\n                     Noting that local dispute resolution mechanisms play an important role in\n               preventing and resolving inter-communal conflict, including conflict over natural\n               resources, urging an intensification of effective efforts to prevent local disputes\n               leading to violence, with its corresponding impact o n the local civilian populations,\n               acknowledging the efforts of Sudanese authorities, with the support of UNAMID,\n               and efforts of the United Nations Country Team, particularly through the Darfur\n               Community Peace and Stability Fund (DCPSF), in this regard, welcoming the\n               encouraging conclusion of several inter-communal peace agreements, with support\n               from UNAMID and the United Nations Country Team, and urging their continued\n               work in collaboration with the Government of Sudan to find sustainable solutions to\n               these conflicts,\n                    Welcoming regional and other initiatives, undertaken in close interaction with\n               the Government of Sudan, to address the root causes of the conflict in Darfur and to\n               promote a sustainable peace, commending the efforts of the AU-HIP, led by\n               President Thabo Mbeki and the efforts of the Joint Special Representative (JSR) to\n               secure peace, stability and security in Darfur, including through support to\n\n4/15                                                                                                     17-10875\n\n

Calling on all parties to comply with their obligations under international\n           human rights law and international humanitarian law, stressing the importance that\n           the Council attaches to ending impunity including through ensuring accountability\n           and bringing to justice the perpetrators of crimes, including sexual and gender -based\n           violence, committed by all parties in Darfur, urging the Government of Sudan to\n           comply with its obligations in this respect, welcoming the ongoing investigations by\n           the Special Prosecutor for Darfur appointed by the Government of Sudan,\n           particularly with respect to cases of sexual and gender based violence, and stressing\n           the need for further progress in this regard with respect to perpetrators on all sides,\n           reiterating the call for swift progress on the draft Memorandum of Understanding\n           providing for UNAMID and African Union observation of the proceedings of the\n           Special Court, and calling on the Government of Sudan swiftly to investigate\n           attacks against UNAMID, and to bring the perpetrators to justice,\n                 Reaffirming its concern over the negative effect of instability in Darfur on the\n           stability of Sudan as a whole as well as the region, and encouraging cooperation\n           between regional state actors to address cross-border issues, such as weapons\n           smuggling, in order to achieve peace and stability in Darfur and the wider region,\n           and recalling in this regard the arms embargo as contained in paragraph 9 of\n           resolution 1556 (2004) and paragraph 7 of resolution 1591 (2005), as updated in\n           paragraph 9 of resolution 1945 (2010) and paragraph 4 of resolution 2035 (2012),\n                Commending the efforts of UNAMID towards promoting peace and stability in\n           Darfur, and reiterating its full support for UNAMID,\n                Welcoming the Special Report of the Secretary-General and the Chairperson of\n           the African Union Commission of 18 May 2017 (S/2017/437) (the Special Report)\n           and the Report of the Secretary-General of 14 June 2017 on UNAMID,\n                Determining that the situation in Sudan constitutes a threat to international\n           peace and security,\n                1.    Decides to extend until 30 June 2018 the mandate of UNAMID;\n                 2.   Takes note of the recommendations of the Secretary-General and the\n           Chairperson of the African Commission in the Special Report, supports the\n           recommendation for a two-pronged approach, which focuses on military protection,\n           explosive remnants of war clearance and emergency relief in the Jebel Marra area\n           and, in other areas of Darfur where there has not been recent fighting, an approach\n           that focuses on stabilising the situation, supporting the police and helping to build\n           rule of law institutions whilst continuing to protect civilians, mediating inter -\n           communal conflict and following up on security sector reform -related issues as\n           provided in the DDPD and guided by the African Union Security Sector Reform\n           Framework, and the implementation of the DDPD;\n                3.

Underlines that the reconfiguration of UNAMID has to be effectively\n           mitigated by an improved ability to respond to threats quickly and adequately;\n                5.    Decides that, in line with these recommendations, from the date of\n           adoption of this resolution until six months thereafter ( “phase one”), UNAMID’s\n           authorised ceiling for troops and police shall be reduced to consist of up to 11,395\n\n\n17-10875                                                                                                     5/15\n\nS/RES/2363 (2017)\n\n               military personnel, 2,888 police personnel including individual police officers and\n               members of formed police units;\n                    6.

Decides, from 31 January 2018, to further reduce UNAMID’s troop and\n               police ceiling, taking into account the recommendations in the Special Report\n               (“phase two”), and that by 30 June 2018, UNAMID’s authorised ceiling for troops\n               and police shall be reduced to consist of up to 8,735 military personnel and 2,500\n               police personnel including individual police officers and members of formed police\n               units, unless the Security Council decides, taking into account the findings of the\n               assessment requested in paragraph six of this Resolution, to adjust the scope and\n               pace of the reduction;\n                     8.   Stresses that, in the context of the evolving security situation, any further\n               refinement of the Mission should be based on progress against the benchmarks and\n               the conditions on the ground, and implemented in a gradual, phased, flexible and\n               reversible manner, and that a reduction in the uniformed component should preserve\n               the hybrid nature of the Mission and should prioritise the retention of the highest\n               performing contingents;\n                     9.    Welcomes the intention to conduct a comprehensive Civilian Staffing\n               Review of UNAMID to ensure that staffing levels are adjusted to implement the\n               revised mandate and underlines the need for appropriate staffing levels in\n               accordance with the reconfiguration of UNAMID, including the increased focus on\n               stabilising the situation in Darfur;\n                    10.

organizations and operations, and calling upon non-governmental, non-profit, and\n               charitable organizations to prevent and oppose, as appropriate, attempts by terrorists\n               to abuse their status through risk mitigation measures, while recalling the\n               importance of fully respecting the rights to freedom of expression and association of\n

Strongly urges Member States to provide all relevant information to the\n           Ombudsperson, including any relevant confidential information, where appropriate,\n           encourages Member States to provide relevant information, including any detailed\n           and specific information, when available and in a timely manner, welcomes those\n           national arrangements entered into by Member States with the Office of the\n           Ombudsperson to facilitate the sharing of confidential information, strongly\n           encourages Member States’ further progress in this regard, including by concluding\n           arrangements with the Office of the Ombudsperson for the sharing of such\n           information, and confirms that the Ombudsperson must comply with any\n           confidentiality restrictions that are placed on such information by Member States\n           providing it;\n                 67. Strongly urges Member States and relevant international organizations\n           and bodies to encourage individuals and entities that are considering challenging or\n           are already in the process of challenging their listing through national and regional\n           courts to first seek removal from the ISIL (Da’esh) & Al -Qaida Sanctions List by\n           submitting delisting petitions to the Office of the Ombudsperson;\n                 68. Notes the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) international standards\n           and, inter alia, best practices relating to targeted financial sanctions, as referenced in\n           paragraph 22 of this resolution;\n                 69. Recalls its decision that when the designating State submits a delisting\n           request, the requirement for States to take the measures described in paragraph 1 of\n           this resolution shall terminate with respect to that individual, group, undertaki ng or\n           entity after 60 days unless the Committee decides by consensus before the end of\n           that 60-day period that the measures shall remain in place with respect to that\n           individual, group, undertaking or entity; provided that, in cases where consensus\n\n\n17-12331                                                                                                       17/33\n\nS/RES/2368 (2017)\n\n\n               does not exist, the Chair shall, on the request of a Committee Member, submit the\n               question of whether to delist that individual, group, undertaking or entity to the\n               Security Council for a decision within a period of 60 days; and provided further\n               that, in the event of such a request, the requirement for States to take the measures\n               described in paragraph 1 of this resolution shall remain in force for that period with\n               respect to that individual, group, undertaking or entity until the question is decided\n               by the Security Council;\n                    70. Also recalls its decision that the Committee may, by consensus, shorten\n               the 60-day period referred to in paragraph 69 on a case-by-case basis;\n                     71. Further recalls its decision that, for purposes of submitting a delisting\n               request in paragraph 69, consensus must exist between or among all designating\n               States in cases where there are multiple designating States; and further recalls its\n               decision that co-sponsors of listing requests shall not be considered designating\n               States for purposes of paragraph 62;\n                     72. Strongly urges designating States to allow the Ombudsperson to reveal\n               their identities as designating States to those listed individuals and entities that have\n               submitted delisting petitions to the Ombudsperson;\n                     73. Directs the Committee to continue to work, in accordance with its\n               guidelines, to consider delisting requests of Member States for the removal from the\n               ISIL (Da’esh) & Al-Qaida Sanctions List of individuals, groups, undertakings and\n               entities that are alleged to no longer meet the criteria established in the relevant\n               resolutions, and set out in paragraph 2 of this resolution, and strongly urges Member\n               States to provide reasons for submitting their delisting requests;\n                     74. Encourages States to submit delisting requests for individuals who are\n               officially confirmed to be dead, and for entities reported or confirmed to have\n               ceased to exist, while at the same time taking all reasonable measures to ensure that\n               assets that had belonged to these individuals or entities will not be transferred or\n               distributed to other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities on the ISIL\n               (Da’esh) & Al-Qaida Sanctions List or any other Security Council sanctions list;\n                     75. Encourages Member States, when unfreezing the assets of a deceased\n               individual or an entity that is reported or confirmed to have ceased to exist as a\n               result of a delisting, to recall the obligations set forth in resolution 1373 (2001) and,\n               particularly, to prevent unfrozen assets from being used for terrorist purposes;\n                     76. Reaffirms that, prior to the unfreezing of any assets that have been frozen\n               as a result of the listing of Usama bin Laden, Member States shall submit to the\n               Committee a request to unfreeze such assets and shall provide assurances to the\n               Committee that the assets will not be transferred, directly or indirectly, to a listed\n               individual, group, undertaking or entity, or otherwise used for terrorist purposes in\n               line with Security Council resolution 1373 (2001), and decides further that such\n               assets may only be unfrozen in the absence of an objection by a Committee member\n               within 30 days of receiving the request, and stresses the exceptional nature of this\n               provision, which shall not be considered as establishing a precedent;\n                    77. Calls upon the Committee when considering delisting requests to give\n               due consideration to the opinions of designating State(s), State(s) of residence ,\n               nationality, location or incorporation, and other relevant States as determined by the\n               Committee, directs Committee members to provide their reasons for objecting to\n\n\n\n18/33                                                                                                      17-12331\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2368 (2017)\n\n\n           delisting requests at the time the request is objected to, and requests the Committee\n           to provide reasons to relevant Member States and national and regional courts and\n           bodies, upon request and where appropriate;\n                 78. Encourages all Member States, including designating States and States of\n           residence, nationality, location or incorporation to provide all information to the\n           Committee relevant to the Committee’s review of delisting petitions, and to meet\n           with the Committee, if requested, to convey their views on delisting requests, and\n           further encourages the Committee, where appropriate, to meet with representatives\n           of national or regional organizations and bodies that have relevant information on\n           delisting petitions;\n                 79. Confirms that the Secretariat shall, within three days after a name is\n           removed from the ISIL (Da’esh) & Al-Qaida Sanctions List, notify the Permanent\n           Mission of the State(s) of residence, nationality, location or incorporation (to the\n           extent this information is known), and recalls its decision that States receiving such\n           notification shall take measures, in accordance with their domestic laws and\n           practices, to notify or inform the concerned individual, group, undertaking or entity\n           of the delisting in a timely manner;\n                 80. Reaffirms that, in cases in which the Ombudsperson is unable to\n           interview a petitioner in his or her state of residence, the Ombudsperson may\n           request, with the agreement of the petitioner, that the Committee consider granting\n           exemptions to the restrictions on assets and travel in paragraphs 1 (a) and (b) of this\n           resolution for the sole purpose of allowing the petitioner to meet travel expenses and\n           travel to another State to be interviewed by the Ombudsperson for a period no\n           longer than necessary to participate in this interview, provided that all States of\n           transit and destination do not object to such travel, and further directs the\n           Committee to notify the Ombudsperson of the Committee’s decision;\n\n           Exemptions/Focal Point\n                 81. Recalls that the assets freeze measures outlined in paragraph 1 above\n           shall not apply to funds and other financial assets or economic re sources that the\n           Committee determines to be:\n                  (a) necessary for basic expenses, including payment for foodstuffs, rent or\n           mortgage, medicines and medical treatment, taxes, insurance premiums, and public\n           utility charges, or exclusively for payment of reasonable professional fees and\n           reimbursement of incurred expenses associated with the provision of legal services,\n           or fees or service charges for routine holding or maintenance of frozen funds or\n           other financial assets or economic resources, following notification of intention to\n           authorize access to such funds and in the absence of a negative decision by the\n           Committee within 3 working days of the notification;\n                 (b) necessary for extraordinary expenses, being expenses other than basic\n           expenses, following notification of the intention to authorize release of such funds\n           and approval of the Committee of the request within 5 working days of the\n           notification, and where appropriate, there should be specific periods of time\n           requested by the notifying Member States for such expenses;\n                82.

In\n           cases where the Committee informs the Ombudsperson that it has followed his or her\n           recommendation, the Ombudsperson immediately informs the Petitioner of the\n           Committee’s decision and submits to the Committee, for its review, a summary of\n           the analysis contained in the Comprehensive Report. The Committee reviews the\n           summary within 30 days of the decision to retain or terminate the listing, and\n           communicates its views on the summary to the Ombudsperson. The purpose of the\n           Committee’s review is to address any security concerns, including to review if any\n           information confidential to the Committee is inadvertently included in the summary.\n           Following the Committee’s review, the Ombudsperson transmits the summary to\n           the Petitioner.

In his or her communication with the Petitioner, the Ombudsperson\n           will specify that the summary of the analysis does not reflect the views of the\n           Committee or of any of its members. In cases where the listing is retained, the\n           summary of the analysis shall cover all the arguments for delisting by the Petitioner to\n           which the Ombudsperson responded. In cases of delisting, the summary shall include\n           the key points of the analysis of the Ombudsperson. In cases where the Committee\n           informs the Ombudsperson that it has not followed his or her recommendation or that\n           the Chair has submitted the question to the Security Council under paragraph 15 of\n           this Annex, the Committee communicates to the Ombudsperson, within 30 days of its\n           decision or the Council’s decision, the reasons for this decision for transmission to the\n           Petitioner.

in\n               the next reporting period, echoing the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the\n               responsibility for finding a solution lies first and foremost with the Cypriots\n               themselves, and reaffirming the primary role of the United Nations in assisting the\n               parties to bring the Cyprus conflict and division of the island to a comprehensive\n               and durable settlement,\n                     Welcoming the commitments set out in the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot\n               leaders’ Joint Statement of 2 April 2017 on the basis

Convinced of the many important benefits, including economic benefits for all\n               Cypriots, that would flow from a comprehensive and durable Cyprus settlement,\n               urging the two sides and their leaders to foster positive public rhetoric, and\n               encouraging them clearly to explain the benefits of the settlement, as well as the\n               need for increased flexibility and compromise in order to secure it, to both\n               communities well in advance of any referenda,\n                     Highlighting the importance, both political and financial, of the supporting\n               role of the international community, and in particular that of all parties concerned in\n               taking practical steps towards helping the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot\n               leaders to sustain their commitment to a settlement under United Nations auspices;\n               taking note of the assessment of the Secretary-General

quo, which could lead to an\n               increase in tension, undermine the progress achieved so far, or damage the goodwill\n               on the island,\n                    Recalling the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the situation in the buffer\n               zone would be improved if both sides accepted the 1989 aide-memoire used by the\n               United Nations,\n                     Noting with regret that the sides are withholding access to the remaining\n               minefields in the buffer zone, and that demining in Cyprus must continue, noting the\n               continued danger posed by mines in Cyprus, noting also proposals and discussions\n               as well as positive initiatives on demining, and urging rapid agreement on\n               facilitating the recommencement of demining operations and clearance of the\n               remaining minefields,\n                     Commending the work of the Committee on Missing Persons,

61.5 per cent have yet\n               to be identified, urging the opening up of access to all areas expeditiously to allow\n               the Committee to carry out its work, and trusting that this

groups, is essential to the political process and can contribute to making any future\n               settlement sustainable, recalling that women play a critically important role in peace\n               processes, welcoming all efforts to promote bicommunal contacts and events\n               including, inter alia, on the part of all United Nations bodies on the island, and\n               urging the two sides to promote the active engagement of civil society and the\n               encouragement of cooperation between economic and commercial bodies and to\n               remove all obstacles to such contacts,\n                    Stressing the need for the Council to pursue a rigorous, strategic approach to\n               peacekeeping deployments,\n                     Recognizing the

the Internet, to facilitate terrorist acts, as well as their use to incite,\n               recruit, fund, or plan terrorist acts,\n                     Reiterating its call upon Member States to

Underlines that the increases in the force strength decided in resolutions\n           2036 (2012) and 2124 (2013) were to provide short term enhancement to\n           AMISOM’s military capacity, and as part of an overall exit strategy for AMISOM,\n           after which a decrease in AMISOM’s force strength will be considered in light of\n           progress on the ground;\n                4.    Welcomes in this regard the recommendation of the AU-UN Review for a\n           gradual and phased reduction and reorganization of AMISOM’s uniformed\n           personnel in order to provide a greater support role to the Somali Security Forces as\n           they progressively take the lead for security in Somalia, welcomes the FGS’s\n           commitment to conduct joint operations in order to become the primary security\n           provider in Somalia, and underscores the need for transition of security\n           responsibility to take into consideration security situation in each location;\n\n           Priorities and tasks\n                5.

Requests the AU to keep the Security Council regularly informed,\n               through the Secretary-General on the implementation of AMISOM’s mandate, and\n               report to the Council, through the provision of oral updates an d no fewer than three\n               written reports, every 120 days with the first written report not later than\n               15 December 2017;\n                    10. Requests that the AU continues to ensure that AMISOM is configured to\n               conduct the full range of mandated tasks effectively, including strengthening\n               command and control structures, under the authority of the Force Commander,\n               capable of operating jointly with Somali security forces;\n                     11. Welcomes in this regard the intention of the AU to develop a new\n               Concept of Operations for AMISOM, and requests the AU to develop this concept in\n               close collaboration with the United Nations and Federal Government of Somalia;\n                     12.

Stresses that AMISOM’s civilian component should be fully operational\n           to support AMISOM’s military and police tasks and improve coordinati on between\n           the United Nations and the AU in Somalia, with particular emphasis on enhancing\n           the staffing of its human rights component, with a view to increasing capacity to\n           monitor and strengthen respect for international humanitarian law and human rights\n           law and address cases of violations and abuses, in particular allegations of\n           violations and abuses against children;\n                 15. Further stresses that AMISOM’s civilian component should focus its\n           efforts on supporting the revised tasks of the AMISOM military and police\n           components in order to facilitate the transition and eventual drawdown;\n                 16.

State and the delivery of basic social services in the Nor th of Mali, and\n               stressing the primary responsibility of the Government of Mali, the Plateforme and\n

Welcoming the Secretary-General’s report S/2017/761,\n                     Recalling that international law, as reflected in the United Nations Convention\n               on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982, sets out the legal framework applicable\n               to activities in the ocean,\n                     Reaffirming also the United Nations Convention against Transnational\n

supplementing the UNTOC Convention, as the primary international legal\n               instruments to combat trafficking in persons,\n                    Underlining that, although the crime of

continuing maritime tragedies in the Mediterranean Sea that\n               have resulted in thousands of casualties, and noting with concern that such\n               casualties were, in some cases, the result of exploitation and misinformation by\n               transnational criminal organizations which facilitated the illegal smuggling o f\n               migrants via dangerous methods for

that their rights should be fully respected, and urging all States in this regard to\n               comply with their obligations under international law, including i nternational human\n               rights law and international refugee law, as applicable, stressing also the obligation\n               of States, where applicable, to protect the human rights of migrants regardless of\n

responsibility for the maintenance of international\n               peace and security under the Charter of the United Nations,\n                     Underlining the primary responsibility of the

management, considering the difficulties of the Government of National Accord to\n               manage effectively the migratory flows in transit through Libyan territory, and\n               noting its concern for the repercussions of this phenomenon on the stability of Libya\n               and of the Mediterranean region,\n                   Welcoming ongoing support by the most concerned

Welcoming the role that UN Police Components can play in facilitating the\n               transitions from peacekeeping to development and peacebuilding, and recognizing\n               that improved performance of United Nations Policing can contribute to successful\n               exit strategies of peacekeeping missions and will require continued transparent and\n               accountable efforts to strengthen United Nations Police doctrine and its\n               implementation and defining clearer standards for personnel, equipment, o perations,\n               performance, and

monitoring the impact of police reform, and\n               recognizing that the political leadership and political will of national authorities are\n               critical in this regard and success necessitates national ownership,\n                     Highlighting the important role that United Nations Police Components can\n               play in building the capacity of host-State policing and other law enforcement\n               institutions, as mandated, in particular through building principles of community\n               oriented policing and in addressing organized crime,

      Having considered that transnational organized crime undermines stability and\n               further considering that transnational organized crime can benefit internation al\n               terrorism, which may require strengthening or rebuilding of criminal justice systems\n               to address relevant threats,\n                     Recalling the work conducted by the Security

                Noting the increasing scope and reliance on police abilities in United Nations\n               operations and welcoming ongoing efforts to attain specialized capacities,\n               capabilities and technologies for United Nations Police Components, further noting\n               the Policy for Formed Police Units in United Nations Peacekeeping and\n               encouraging Member States to contribute well-trained and appropriately vetted men\n               and women police personnel with appropriate language skills for formed police\n               units (FPUs) with

corrections,\n           and judicial institutions are necessary to lay the foundation for sustainable peace\n           and national development, and further noting that failure to addre ss operational and\n           accountability deficits in police institutions can undermine the positive gains made,\n           and thus risks a relapse into conflict,\n                 Recognizing the indispensable role of women in United Nations peacekeeping\n           and special political missions, including the critical role that women play in all\n           peace and security efforts, including by providing diverse perspectives which can\n           assist in building trust with local communities and stressing the need to increase\n           their participation and leadership in decision-making in host-States with regard to\n           policing and the rule of law,\n                 Welcoming the efforts to incentivize greater numbers of women in military and\n           police deployed and appointed to senior positions in United Nations peacekeeping\n           operations, as both IPOs and as part of SPTs and FPUs, and efforts to review the\n           obstacles preventing women’s recruitment and professional advancement; taking\n           note in this regard of the Secretary-General’s System-wide Strategy on Gender\n           Parity which tasks relevant United Nations entities, in consultation with Police -\n           Contributing countries, to develop a separate, dedicated strategy on this matter,\n                 Reaffirming its determination to pursue more prioritization when evaluating,\n           mandating and reviewing United Nations peacekeeping operations, including\n           through strengthening Triangular consultations with Troop and Pol ice-Contributing\n           Countries and the Secretariat, strengthening existing formal mechanisms, and\n           underlining the shared responsibility for meaningful, inclusive, active and dynamic\n           consultations, as well as enhancing its dialogue with host countries, with the aim of\n           fully and successfully implementing peacekeeping mandates,\n                 Noting with appreciation the improved cooperation between the United\n           Nations, international, regional and subregional organizations and initiatives,\n           including through training, sharing of experience, exchange of information,\n           thematic expertise and operational readiness as appropriate, and the establishment\n           by the United Nations Police Components of a

especially resolutions 1814 (2008), 1816 (2008), 1838 (2008), 1844 (2008), 1846\n               (2008), 1851 (2008), 1897 (2009), 1918 (2010), 1950 (2010), 1976 (2011), 2015\n               (2011),

natural resources,\n               including fisheries,\n                     Noting that the joint counter-piracy efforts of States, regions, organizations,\n               the maritime industry, the private sector, think tanks, and civil society have resulted\n               in a steady decline in pirate attacks as well as hijackings since 2011, and expressing\n               concern about the recent piracy incidents that occurred during 2017 and by the\n               ongoing threat that resurgent piracy and armed robbery at sea poses to the prompt,\n               safe, and effective delivery of humanitarian aid to Somalia and the region, to the\n               safety of seafarers and other persons, to international navigation and the safety of\n               commercial maritime routes, and to other ships, including fishing vessels operating\n               in conformity with international law, commending Chinese and Indian naval forces\n               for thwarting an attack on the OS-35, Chinese operations soldiers for capturing\n               three pirates, and Chinese and European Union Naval Forces (EU NAVFOR) for\n               preventing an attack on MV Al Heera, and further commending countries that have\n               deployed naval forces in the Gulf of Aden and the Somali Basin to dissuade piracy\n               networks from carrying out acts of piracy,\n                    Supporting the outcome of the London Somalia Conference held on 11 May\n               2017, and the commitment of the Federal Government and Federal Member States\n

reflected in the United Nations\n               Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 (“The Convention”), sets\n               out the legal framework applicable to activities in the ocean, including countering\n               piracy and armed robbery at sea,\n                     Recognizing the need to investigate and prosecute not only suspects captured\n               at sea, but also anyone who incites or intentionally facilitates pirac y operations,\n               including key figures of criminal networks involved in piracy who plan, organize,\n               facilitate, or illicitly finance or profit from such attacks, and reiterating its concern\n               over persons suspected of piracy having been released without facing j ustice,\n               reaffirming that the failure to prosecute persons responsible for acts of piracy and\n               armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia undermines anti -piracy efforts,\n                     Welcoming the successful prosecution of piracy cases in Belgium, India,\n               Mauritius, and the Seychelles during the past year, while noting with concern that\n               the continuing limited capacity and domestic legislation to facilitate the custody and\n               prosecution of suspected pirates after their capture has hindered more robust\n               international action against pirates off the coast of Somalia, which has led to pirates\n               in many cases being released without facing justice, regardless of whether there is\n               sufficient evidence to support prosecution, and reiterating that, consistent with the\n               provisions of The Convention concerning the repression of piracy, the 1988\n               Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Maritime\n               Navigation (“SUA Convention”) provides for parties to create criminal offences,\n               establish jurisdiction, and accept delivery of persons responsible for, or suspected of\n               seizing, or exercising control over, a ship by force or threat thereof, or any other\n               form of intimidation,\n                     Underlining the primary responsibility of the Somali authorities in the fight\n               against piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, noting the several\n               requests from Somali authorities for international assistance to counter piracy off its\n               coast, including the letter of 2 November 2017, from the Permanent Representative\n               of the Permanent Mission of Somalia to the United Nations expressing the\n               appreciation of Somali authorities to the Security Council for its assistance,\n               expressing their willingness to consider working with other States and regional\n               organizations to combat piracy and armed robber y at sea off the coast of Somalia,\n               asking member states and international organizations to support the Federal\n               Government of Somalia in its efforts to address illegal, unreported, and unregulated\n               fishing in its Exclusive Economic Zone, and requesting that the provisions of\n               resolution 2316 (2016) be renewed for an additional 12 months,\n

work of the CGPCS and the Law Enforcement Task Force t o\n               facilitate the prosecution of suspected pirates, and the intentions of the Regional\n               Capacity Building Working Group to identify regional priorities and coordination of\n               capacity-building activities and regional responsibilities,\n                     Welcoming the financing provided by the Trust Fund to Support Initiatives of\n               States Combating Piracy off the Coast of Somalia (the Trust Fund) to strengthen\n               regional ability to prosecute suspected pirates and imprison those convicted in\n               accordance with applicable international human rights law, noting with appreciation\n               the assistance provided by the United Nations Office of

Federation, which have deployed naval counter -\n           piracy missions in the region,\n                Noting the efforts of flag States for taking measures to permit vessels sailing\n

Welcoming and encouraging the capacity-building efforts in the region made\n           by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) funded Djibouti Code of\n           Conduct, the Trust Fund and the European Union’s activities under the EU Capacity\n           Building Mission in Somalia (EUCAP Somalia) which assists Somalia in\n           strengthening its maritime security capacity in order

             Supporting the development of a coastguard at the federal level and coastguard\n           police at the Federal Member State level, noting with appreciation the efforts made\n           by the IMO and the shipping industry to develop and update guidance, best\n           management practices, and recommendations to assist ships to prevent and suppress\n           piracy attacks off the coast of Somalia, including in the Gulf of Aden, and in\n           relevant parts of the Indian Ocean that are still within the High Risk Area and\n           recognizing the work of the IMO and

                                                                                                   17-20316\n\n                                                                                              S/RES/2386 (2017)\n\n           (UNISFA) to fulfil its responsibility to provide security for the JBVMM’s mission\n           to monitor the SDBZ,\n                 Recalling its decision in resolution 2352 (2017) to end the mandate for support\n           to the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism (JBVMM) unless both\n           parties demonstrate through their actions clear commitment and steadfast guarantees\n           for the implementation of the JBVMM, in line with steps outlined in paragraph 7 of\n           resolution 2352 (2017), including resuming border demarcation discussions, holding\n           regular meetings of the JPSM, and granting UNISFA full freedom of movement,\n                Recognizing some progress by the parties since May 2017 but regretting the\n           lack of significant concrete progress made by both parties on achieving the\n           benchmarks for the JBVMM and the unnecessary impediments imposed upon the\n           JBVMM, reducing its ability to effectively monitor the SDBZ,\n                Noting with concern the absence of local institutions to manage the Abyei Area\n           and encouraging continued progress in convening Abyei Joint Oversight Committee\n           (AJOC) meetings,\n                 Recognizing the importance of regular dialogue between the Governments of\n           Sudan and

final status of the Abyei Area, and stressing that the\n           parties must immediately implement pending aspects of the 20 June 2011\n           Agreement, in particular to resolve the dispute over the Abyei Area Agreement, and\n           to resolve the dispute over the Abyei Area Council, and immediately establish the\n           Abyei Area Administration and Abyei Police Service,\n                Stressing that both countries and communities will have much to gain if they\n           show restraint and choose the path of dialogue instead of resorting to violence or\n           provocations,\n                 Commending the continued assistance provided to the parties by the AUHIP,\n           the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the Federal Democratic Republic\n

          appreciation for the work of the troop-contributing countries, and strongly\n           underscoring the unacceptability of any attack on United Nations personnel,\n           including the firing on UNISFA patrols in early 2017 by unknown assailants, and\n           reiterating that such attacks should be swiftly and thoroughly investigated, and that\n           those responsible should be held to account,\n                 Taking note of the security situation in the Abyei Area as characterized by the\n           17 October 2017 Secretary-General’s report (S/2017/870), and acknowledging\n           UNISFA’s contribution to enhanced peace and stability since its deployment and\n           expressing its determination to prevent the recurrence of violence against or\n           displacements of civilians and to avert intercommunal conflict,\n                Reiterating its deep concern regarding the public administration and rule of\n           law vacuum in the Abyei Area, due to continued delays in the establishment of the\n           Abyei Area Administration and Council and Police, including a special unit to deal\n           with particular issues related to nomadic migratio n, which are essential to maintain\n           law and order and prevent intercommunal conflict in Abyei, and in this regard,\n\n17-20316

and to continue engaging with both governments on this i ssue,\n                     Noting with concern the continued delay in establishing the temporary\n               institutions and resolving the final status of Abyei and that the continued threat of\n               intercommunal violence contributes to heightened tensions in the Abyei Area,\n               including those ongoing tensions that prevent UNISFA’s and other agencies’\n               Sudanese staff from returning to Abyei,\n                     Urging all parties to refrain from any unilateral action that could aggravate\n               intercommunal relations within the Abyei Area, expressing concern over the\n               continued implications of what the AUPSC described in their 6 November 2013\n               press statement as “the decision by the Ngok Dinka to conduct a unilateral\n               referendum” and also in this context, taking note that the Government of Sudan\n               proceeded with its April 2015 national elections in Abyei,\n                     Bearing in mind the current humanitarian situation in which humanitarian\n               actors continue to provide assistance to 100,000 people in the Abyei Area and the\n               importance of coherence of United Nations assistance in the region, and further\n               stressing the urgency of facilitating the delivery of humanitarian assistance to all\n               affected populations,\n                     Affirming the importance of voluntary, safe, dignified return and sustainable\n               reintegration of displaced persons, and of peaceful and orderly migration cycles\n               respecting the traditional migratory routes from Sudan to South Sudan through\n               Abyei, and urging UNISFA to continue to take measures as necessary to ensure\n               security in the Abyei Area in accordance with its mandate,\n                     Recalling its resolution 2117 (2013), and expressing grave concern at the\n               threat to peace and security in Abyei arising from the illicit transfer, destabilizing\n               accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons, welcoming the\n               completion of infrastructure, systems, and policy for weapons confiscation, storage\n               and destruction, and calling on UNISFA to ensure adequate protection of this\n               infrastructure,\n                    Expressing concern about the residual threat of landmines and explosive\n               remnants of war in the Abyei Area, which hinders the safe return of displaced\n               persons to their homes, safe migration, and livelihood activities,\n                     Taking note of the 28 July 2017 and 17 October 2017 Secretary-General’s\n               reports (S/2017/649 and S/2017/870), including the Secretary-General’s call on the\n               parties to consolidate the gains achieved by UNISFA at the local level by actively\n               engaging in efforts to establish the Abyei Area Administration and Council, and to\n               constitute the Abyei Area Police,\n                     Recalling that the Security Council welcomed in resolution 2205 (2015) the\n               decision of the Secretary-General to appoint a civilian head of mission,\n                    Recognizing that the current situation in Abyei and along the border between\n               the Sudan and South Sudan continues to constitute a serious threat to international\n               peace and security,\n                     1.   Decides to extend until 15 May 2018 the mandate of the United Nations\n               Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) as set out in paragraph 2 of resolution\n               1990 (2011) and acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n               further decides to extend until 15 May 2018 the tasks of UNISFA as set out in\n               paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011);\n                     2.

Further reiterates its demand that Sudan and South Sudan urgently\n           commence the establishment of the Abyei Area Administration and Council,\n           including by resolving the deadlock over the composition of the Council, and\n           constitute the Abyei Police Service, to enable it to take over policing functions\n           throughout the Abyei Area, including the protection of oil infrastructure, in\n           accordance with their commitments in the 20 June 2011 Agreement;\n                 6.   Urges the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan to resume direct\n           negotiations in order to urgently agree on a final settlement of the Abyei question,\n           calls upon the parties to take concrete confidence-building measures to contribute to\n           achieving this objective with renewed support from the AUHIP, encourages the\n           AUHIP and the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General to continue coordinating\n           efforts towards calling for full implementation of the 2011 agreements;\n                7.

Expresses serious concern regarding the delays to fully operationalize the\n           JBVMM, recalls the Secretary-General’s benchmarks and recommendations\n           regarding JBVMM operations, takes note that continued investment in achieving\n           full operational capability of the JBVMM should be based on a set of conditions,\n           including resolution of the dispute over the SDBZ, and calls upon the Government\n           of Sudan and the Government of South Sudan to make timely and effective use of\n           the JBVMM, JPSM and other agreed joint mechanisms to ensure the security and\n           transparency of the SDBZ, including the “14 Mile Area”;\n               9.    Determines to consider renewing UNISFA’s mandate to support the\n           JBVMM should both parties adhere to the specific measures agreed to in the May\n           and October 2017 JPSM communiques no later than 15 Marc h 2018, to include\n           completing inter alia:\n                (1) Facilitating the full freedom of movement for UNISFA air and ground\n                patrols, to include landing within the SDBZ, by approving 100 percent of\n                requested sorties no later than 72 hours after the requests are deli vered,\n                (2)   Opening of Phase I of the border crossing corridors,\n                (3) Holding at least one meeting to resume border demarcation discussions,\n                including negotiations on the disputed areas within the framework of the\n                signed agreements, welcomes the African Union Commission’s efforts in this\n                regard and encourages its continued assistance to the parties,\n                (4)   Reactivating the ad hoc committee of the 14 mile area,\n                (5)   Facilitating the operationalization of the four JBVMM team sites, and,\n\n17-20316                                                                                                       5/8\n\nS/RES/2386 (2017)\n\n                    (6)   Convening at least two meetings of the JPSM to resolve these issues;\n                     10. Urges renewed efforts to determine conclusively the SDBZ centreline on\n               the ground, and reiterates that the centreline of the SDBZ in no way prejudices the\n               current or future legal status of the border, ongoing negotiations on the disputed and\n               claimed areas, and demarcation of the borders;\n                    11. Underscores that UNISFA’s protection of civilians mandate as set out in\n               paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011) includes taking the necessary actions to\n               protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence, irrespective of the\n               source of such violence, and commending UNISFA’s efforts in that regard;\n                     12. Condemns the intermittent presence of South Sudan security service\n               personnel and the deployment of Diffra Oil Police units in the Abyei Area, in\n               violation of the 20 June 2011 Agreement, as well as any entry of armed militias into\n               the territory, and reiterates its demands that immediately and without preconditions\n               the Government of South Sudan fully redeploy its security service personnel from\n               the Abyei Area and that the Government of Sudan redeploy the Oil Police in Diffra\n               from the Abyei Area, and further reiterates, in accordance with relevant resolutions,\n               in particular resolution 1990 (2011) and resolution 2046 (2012), that the Abyei Area\n               shall be demilitarized from any forces, as well as armed elements of the local\n               communities, other than UNISFA and the Abyei Police Service;\n                    13. Supports the AJOC’s 3 May 2013 and 30 March 2015 decisions on\n               Abyei’s status as a weapons-free area, underscores the AUPSC’s concern in its\n               7 May 2013 Communiqué over reports that various communities living in Abyei are\n               heavily armed, recalls that the 20 June 2011 Agreement on Temporary\n               Arrangements for the Administration and Security of the Abyei Area stipulates that\n               Abyei should be a weapons-free area and that only UNISFA is authorized to carry\n               weapons inside the area, and in this regard, urges the two Governments to take all\n               necessary steps to ensure that Abyei is effectively demilitarized, including through\n               disarmament programs as necessary;\n                     14. Reaffirms that UNISFA may undertake weapons confiscation and\n               destruction in the Abyei Area as authorized under resolution 1990 (2011), consistent\n               with its mandate and within its existing capabilities, in coordination wit h the\n               signatories of the June 2011 Agreement on the Temporary Arrangements for the\n               Administration and Security of the Abyei Area, the AJOC, and the Misseriya and\n               Ngok Dinka communities and consistent with the previous AJOC decision to\n               establish the Area as a “weapons free area”, and reiterates its request that UNISFA,\n               observe, document and report on the movement of weapons into Abyei and the\n               presence, destruction and confiscation of weapons within Abyei as part of the\n               Secretary-General’s regular reporting cycle;\n                     15. Requests UNISFA to continue its dialogue with the AJOC and with the\n               Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities on effective strategies and oversight\n               mechanisms for ensuring full compliance by all relevant parties with Abyei’s status\n               as a weapons-free area, with a particular priority placed on the urgent elimination of\n               heavy or crew-served weapons, as well as rocket-propelled grenades, and calls upon\n               the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan, the AJOC, and the Misseriya and Ngok\n               Dinka communities to extend full cooperation to UNISFA in this regard;\n                    16. Urges the two Governments immediately to take steps to implement\n               confidence-building measures among the respective communities in the Abyei Area,\n               ensuring women are involved at all stages, including thro ugh reconciliation\n               processes at the grass-roots level as well as through support for the ongoing efforts\n               of non-governmental organizations engaging in peacebuilding, and by fully\n               supporting UNISFA’s efforts in promoting community dialogue, strongly welcomes\n\n\n  6/8                                                                                                   17-20316\n\n                                                                                               S/RES/2386 (2017)\n\n           continued engagement between the Ngok Dinka and Misseriya communities, and\n           strongly urges all Abyei communities to exercise maximum restraint in all their\n           engagements and to desist from inflammatory acts or statements that may lead to\n           violent clashes;\n                 17. Underscores that women’s participation at all levels of inter-community\n           dialogue is critical to ensure a credible and legitimate process and calls upon all\n           parties to promote full and equal participation of women;\n                 18. Welcomes the positive developments at the grass-roots level between the\n           Ngok Dinka and Misseriya communities, particularly their noted commitment to\n           reconciliation and cooperation, as demonstrated by the resumption of trading\n           activities and the monitoring of stolen property and li vestock, including the prompt\n           return of or provision of compensation for stolen property to victims of crime;\n                 19. Welcomes UNISFA initiatives, to support community dialogue and efforts\n           by the Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities to strengthen inter -communal\n           relationships and facilitate stability and reconciliation in the Abyei Area, including\n           the facilitation of joint peace committee meetings between both communities and\n           re-opening of a common market;\n                20.

Reiterating its serious concern at the continuing lack of key capabilities for\n               MINUSMA, and urging Member States to provide the necessary capacities, including\n               troops and police that have adequate capabilities, pre-deployment and, where\n               appropriate, in situ training and equipment, including enablers, specific to the\n               operating environment, in order for MINUSMA to continue to make progress in the\n               implementation of its mandate, pursuant to resolution 2364 (2017), including through\n               the achievement of its more proactive and robust posture,\n                    Underlining that lasting peace and security in the Sahel region will not be\n               achieved without full, effective and inclusive implementation of the Agreement on\n               Peace and Reconciliation in Mali (“the Agreement”), and stressing that all parties to\n               the Agreement share the primary responsibility to make steadfast progress in its\n               implementation,\n\n\n\n 2/7                                                                                                      17-22165\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2391 (2017)\n\n                Underlining that all efforts to counter terrorism in Mali and in the Sahel region\n           should be complementary to ongoing political processes, including the full, effective\n           and inclusive implementation of the Agreement,\n                 Stressing that a military response to the threats faced by G5 Sahel States can\n           only be effective if conducted in full compliance with international law, by taking\n           active steps to minimize the risk of harm to civilians in all areas of operation, as well\n           as if accompanied by the rapid and effective implementation of inclusive regional\n           strategies encompassing security, governance, development, human rights and\n           humanitarian issues,\n                 Emphasizing the important role of women in prevention and resolution of\n           conflicts, in peacebuilding as well as in post-conflict situations, as recognized in the\n           relevant Security Council resolutions, including resolution 1325 (2000) and\n           resolution 2242 (2015),\n                 Noting that the activities of terrorist organizations, including those benefiting\n           from transnational organized crime, in the Sahel region constitute a threat to\n           international peace and security,\n\n           Operationalization and status of the FC-G5S\n                 1.   Welcomes the steady and rapid progress achieved in the operationalization\n           of the FC-G5S, including through the fulfilment of the initial operational capacity of\n           the joint force on 17 October 2017, and takes positive note of its first operation\n           “Hawbi”, which took place on the Center boundary zone;\n                2.    Commends the G5 Sahel States for their sustained efforts towards the full\n           and effective operationalization of the FC-G5S, and encourages them to continue to\n           take appropriate measures in order for the FC-G5S to reach its full operational\n           capacity by the announced timeframe of March 2018;\n                 3.    Recalls that the deployment of the FC-G5S throughout the territories of its\n           contributing countries, with up to 5,000 military, civilian and police personnel, with\n           a view to restoring peace and security in the Sahel region, is authorized by a decision\n           of the African Union Peace and Security Council for an initial period of 12 months\n           starting from 13 April 2017;\n\n           Groupe de soutien\n                 4.   Notes that the Groupe de Soutien referred to in the strategic concept of\n           operations of the FC-G5S (“the Groupe de Soutien”) represents a useful and\n           appropriate platform to exchange views on the operationalization of the FC -G5S, the\n           mobilization and coordination of international support, furt her clarification of its\n           strategic objectives and concept of operations as well as the implementation of\n           comprehensive strategies encompassing security, governance, development, human\n           rights and humanitarian issues;\n                 5.   Encourages the G5 Sahel States to clarify the format and modalities of\n           work of the Groupe de Soutien, which is due to involve key regional and international\n           actors supporting the FC-G5S, and meet alternatively at technical and political level;\n                 6.    Calls upon the G5 Sahel rotating presidency to convene on a regular basis\n           meetings of the Groupe de Soutien, in order to continue to ensure full and effective\n           integration of the FC-G5S in its regional and international environment as well as the\n           efficient coordination of the international support to the FC-G5S;\n\n\n\n\n17-22165                                                                                                       3/7\n\nS/RES/2391 (2017)\n\n               Coordination of international support\n                     7.    Welcomes the central role played by the G5 Sahel, supported by the\n               European Union and its member States notably through the “coordination hub”\n               mechanism, and in close coordination with the United Nations and the African Union,\n               in identifying the needs of the FC-G5S and coordinating the bilateral contributions of\n               the donors;\n                    8.     Notes the positive role of the Permanent Secretariat of the G5 Sahel to\n               support the cooperation of G5 Sahel States in the field of security, governance and\n               development, and requests the Secretary-General, through UNOWAS, to provide\n               technical assistance, within existing mandate and resources, to the Permanent\n               Secretariat of the G5 Sahel in order to achieve this task;\n\n               Bilateral support\n                     9.   Welcomes the commitments made by the G5 Sahel States and several\n               donors to provide support to the FC-G5S, which amount to a total of more than 177\n               million euros up to date, and notes with satisfaction the steps already taken to fulfil\n               some of these commitments;\n                    10. Notes with appreciation the proposal made by the European Union, with\n               the support of the G5 Sahel States, that its African Peace Facility serves as a\n               mechanism for channelling international voluntary contributions in support of the\n               FC-G5S, in close coordination with other contributions;\n                     11. Welcomes the intent of the current chairmanship of the G5 Sahel, the\n               United Nations, the African Union and the European Union to co -host an international\n               pledging conference in support of the FC-G5S in Brussels, and encourages all\n               international and regional partners to seize this occasion to commit to provide\n               bilateral assistance to the FC-G5S;\n\n               United Nations support\n                     12. Stresses that the efforts of the FC-G5S to counter the activities of terrorist\n               groups and other organized criminal groups will contribute to create a more secure\n               environment in the Sahel region, and thus facilitate the fulfilment by MINUSMA of\n               its mandate to stabilize Mali, and further stresses that operational and logistical\n               support from MINUSMA, as outlined in paragraph 13 below, has the potential to\n               allow the FC-G5S, given its current level of capacities, to enhance its ability to deliver\n               on its mandate;\n                    13. Requests in this context the Secretary-General to take appropriate steps to\n               conclude as soon as possible a technical agreement between the United Nations, the\n               European Union and G5 Sahel States, with a view to providing specified operational\n               and logistical support through MINUSMA to the FC-G5S (“the technical\n               agreement”), and that the support provided pursuant to the technical agreement\n               should:\n                   (a) apply to G5 Sahel States defence and security forces only when operating\n               on Malian territory in the framework of the joint force,\n                     (b) comprise MEDEVAC and CASEVAC, access to life support consumables\n               (fuel, water and rations) and use of UN engineering plant equipment and material, as\n               well as uniformed MINUSMA engineering enabling units to assist in preparation of\n               FC-G5S operational bases in Mali,\n\n\n\n\n 4/7                                                                                                        17-22165\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2391 (2017)\n\n                 (c) be subject to full financial reimbursement to the United Nations, through\n           an EU-coordinated financing mechanism established for the coordination of\n           international voluntary contributions to support the FC-G5S,\n                (d) be conducted at the discretion of the Special Representative of the\n           Secretary-General for Mali and Head of MINUSMA, in close consultation with the\n           Force Commander, and without affecting MINUSMA’s capacity to implement its\n           mandate and strategic priorities, and be restricted to the areas of operations of\n           MINUSMA where such support is compatible with its current level of capacities;\n                14. Encourages the technical agreement to constitute a temporary measure\n           towards full self-sufficiency of the FC-G5S, and emphasizes that MINUSMA’s\n           support arrangements, including MEDEVAC and CASEVAC, engineering capability\n           as well as logistical supply chains, should not be adjusted to facilitate support to the\n           FC-G5S if such an adjustment would adversely impact its own operations or put\n           mission personnel at undue risk;\n                15. Recommends that the Secretary-General periodically reviews the\n           implementation of the technical agreement, with a particular focus on\n           operationalization of the FC-G5S;\n                 16. Calls upon MINUSMA and the FC-G5S to continue to ensure adequate\n           coordination and exchange of information, through relevant mechanisms, of their\n           operations, within their respective mandates, and reiterates in this regard its request\n           to the Secretary-General to enhance cooperation between MINUSMA and the G5\n           Sahel Members States through provision of relevant intelligence and liaison officers\n           from the G5 Sahel Members States to MINUSMA;\n\n           Obligations under international law and human rights policy\n                 17. Underlines the need for the operations of the FC-G5S to be conducted in\n           full compliance with international law, including international humanitarian law,\n           international human rights law and international refugee law, as applicable, and for\n           G5 Sahel States and the FC-G5S to take active steps to minimize the risk of harm to\n           civilians in all areas of operation as well as to ensure accountability and transfer to\n           criminal justice of those apprehended during operations and suspected of terrorist and\n           related crimes;\n                 18. Underlines that a gender perspective should be taken into account in\n           implementing all aspects of the strategic concept of operations of the FC -G5S,\n           including by ensuring that gender analysis and women’s participation are integrated\n           into assessments, planning and operations;\n                19. Underlines the need for the G5 Sahel States to take into account the\n           association of children with terrorist and transnational organized criminal groups to\n           protect and consider as victims children who have been released or otherwise\n           separated from those groups and to pay particular attention to the protection, release\n           and reintegration of all children associated with those groups;\n                 20. Welcomes the African Union’s zero tolerance stance on sexual exploitation\n           and abuse, and underlines the need for the G5 Sahel States to take adequate measures\n           to prevent and combat impunity for sexual exploitation and abuse by their personnel\n           operating in the framework of the FC-G5S;\n                 21. Calls upon the G5 Sahel States to ensure the highest standards of\n           transparency, conduct and discipline for their contingents operating in the framework\n           of the FC-G5S, to establish a robust compliance framework to prevent, investigate,\n           address and publicly report violations and abuses of human rights law and violations\n\n\n\n17-22165                                                                                                      5/7\n\nS/RES/2391 (2017)\n\n               of international humanitarian law related to the FC-G5S (“the compliance\n               framework”);\n                     22. Calls upon regional and international partners to support, through\n               voluntary contributions, technical assistance and advice, G5 Sahel States’ efforts in\n               the establishment and implementation of the compliance framework by the G5 Sahel\n               States and the FC-G5S, and encourages all relevant partners, including United\n               Nations relevant entities, EUTM, EUCAP, the French forces, within the framework\n               of their respective mandates and existing resources, to support the implementation of\n               the compliance framework and to ensure close coordination of their activities in this\n               regard;\n                    23. Notes that the Secretary-General will ensure that any support provided to\n               non-United Nations security forces is provided in strict compliance with the Human\n               Rights Due Diligence Policy on United Nations support to Non-United Nations\n               security forces (HRDDP), and calls upon the FC-G5S to cooperate with the United\n               Nations in implementing the HRDDP, including by ensuring that the relevant\n               monitoring and reporting mechanisms are in place and functional;\n\n               Implementation of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali\n                    24. Expresses its deep concern over the persistent delays in the full\n               implementation of key provisions of the Agreement;\n                    25. Renews its urgent call to the Government of Mali and the Plateforme and\n               Coordination armed groups, as expressed during its meeting with the members of the\n               Comité de suivi de l’accord in Bamako on 21 October 2017, to take immediate and\n               concrete action to fully and expeditiously deliver on their remaining obligations under\n               the Agreement, in particular through:\n                    (a)   the operationalization of the interim administrations in the North of Mali,\n                    (b) the establishment of the Operational Coordination Mechanism in Kidal\n               and Timbuktu,\n                     (c) progress in the cantonment and disarmament, demobilization and\n               reintegration processes, including through the definition of adequate eligibility\n               criteria and the submission of finalized lists of candidates, as well as progress in the\n               security sector reform, with a view to achieve the progressive redeployment of the\n               reconstituted armed and security forces in Mali,\n                    (d)   progress in the decentralization process,\n                    (e)   ensuring full and equal women’s participation;\n                    26.

       humanitarian personnel and journalists,\n                     Reiterating its strong condemnation of all forms of violence and intimidation to\n               which those participating in humanitarian operations are increasingly exposed, as\n               well as attacks on humanitarian convoys and acts of destruction and looting of their\n               assets, and its urging of all parties involved in an armed conflict to promote the safety,\n               security and freedom of movement of humanitarian personnel, including medical\n               personnel and humanitarian personnel exclusively engaged in medical duties, and\n               United Nations and its associated personnel and their assets, expressing its ongoing\n               admiration at the dedication

humanitarian relief activities,\n                    Noting that, despite ongoing challenges, the United Nations and their\n               implementing partners continue to deliver life-saving assistance to millions of people\n               in need in Syria through humanitarian aid delivered across borders, including the\n               delivery of food assistance for on average 1 million people every month since 2016;\n               non-food items for 4 million people; health assistance for 15 million treatments, and\n               water and sanitation supplies for over 3 million

expressing grave alarm at the dire\n           situation of the hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped in besieged areas in the\n           Syrian Arab Republic, including Eastern Ghouta, and reaffirming that sieges of\n           civilian populations in Syria are a violation of international humanitarian law, and\n           calling for the immediate lifting of all sieges,\n                 Reiterating its grave concern at all instances of hindrances to the effective\n           delivery of humanitarian assistance, noting that ISIL (also known as Daesh), ANF and\n           all other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with Al -Qaida, are\n           hindering the effective delivery of humanitarian assistance, and ar e responsible for\n           preventing aid delivery through deliberate interference and obstruction,\n                Reiterating further its grave concern at the continuing impediments to the\n           delivery of humanitarian assistance across conflict lines, noting that on average in\n           2017, a quarter of beneficiaries in the UN monthly and bi -monthly plans have been\n           reached through interagency cross-line convoys each month,\n                 Expressing grave concern that access to medical care continues to be severely\n           restricted, and reiterating the need to respect the principle of medical neutrality,\n           facilitate free passage to all areas for medical personnel, equipment, transport and\n           supplies, including surgical items,\n                 Reaffirming the need to support the United Nations and their implementing\n           partners in their efforts to expand the delivery of humanitarian assistance to reach all\n           people in need in Syria, and further reaffirming its decision in resolution 2165 (2014)\n           that all Syrian parties to the conflict shall enable the immediate and unhindered\n           delivery of humanitarian assistance directly to people throughout Syria, by the United\n           Nations and their implementing partners, on the basis of United Nations assessments\n           of need and devoid of any political prejudices and aims, including by immediately\n           removing all impediments to the provision of humanitarian assistance,\n                Expressing its interest in receiving more

 consignments and their delivery inside Syria, and encouraging the United Nations\n           and their implementing partners to continue to take steps to scale up humanitarian\n           deliveries into hard-to-reach and besieged areas, including by using, as effectively as\n           possible, border crossings under resolution 2165 (2014),\n                 Reiterating the need for all parties to respect and uphold the relevant provisions\n           of international humanitarian law and the United Nations guiding principles of\n           humanitarian emergency assistance, and emphasizing the importance of upholding the\n           principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence, in the provision of\n           humanitarian assistance, and recalling also the importance of humanitarian deliveries\n           reaching their intended beneficiaries,\n                 Noting the role that ceasefire agreements which are consistent with\n           humanitarian principles and international humanitarian law can play in facilitating\n           the delivery of humanitarian assistance in order to help save civilian lives, and\n           recalling in this regard that the Terms for the Cessation of Hostilities in Syria,\n\n\n17-22870                                                                                                      3/5\n\nS/RES/2393 (2017)\n\n               endorsed in its resolution 2268 (2016), when implemented, have benefited the\n               humanitarian situation,\n                    Noting the ongoing work on de-escalation areas to reduce violence as a step\n               towards a comprehensive nation-wide ceasefire, and emphasizing that humanitarian\n               access must be part of such efforts,\n                     Expressing grave concern at the more than 5.4 million refugees, including more\n               than 3.9 million women and children, who have fled Syria as a result of ongoing\n               violence, and recognizing that the continued severity of the devastating humanitarian\n               situation in Syria is further contributing to the movement of refugees and poses risks\n               to regional stability,\n                    Reiterating its deep appreciation for the significant and admirable efforts that\n               have been made by the countries of the region, notably Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq\n               and Egypt, to accommodate Syrian refugees, including the approximately 2.7 million\n               refugees who have fled Syria since the adoption of resolution 2139 (2014), and\n               mindful of the immense costs and social challenges incurred by these countries as a\n               consequence of the crisis,\n                     Noting with concern that the international response to the Syrian and regional\n               crisis continues to fall short of meeting the needs as assessed by host governments\n               and the United Nations, therefore urging once again all Member States, based on\n               burden-sharing principles, to support the United Nations and the countries of the\n               region, including by adopting medium and long-term responses to alleviate the impact\n               on communities, providing increased, flexible and predictable funding as well as\n               increasing resettlement efforts and humanitarian de-mining, and noting the Syria\n               Donors Conference held in Brussels in April 2017, hosted by the European Union,\n               United Kingdom, Germany, Norway, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Nations,\n                     Noting with grave concern that impunity in Syria contributes to widespread\n               violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian\n               law, stressing the need to end impunity for these violations and abuses, and\n               re-emphasizing in this regard the need that those who have committed or are otherwise\n               responsible for such violations and abuses in Syria must be brought to justice,\n                     Emphasizing that the humanitarian situation will continue to deteriorate further\n               in the absence of a political solution to the crisis,\n                    Determining that the severity of the devastating humanitarian situation in Syria\n               continues to constitute a threat to peace and security in the region,\n                     Underscoring that Member States are obligated under Article 25 of the Charter\n               of the United Nations to accept and carry out the Council’s decisions,\n                     1.   Reiterates its demand that all parties, in particular the Syrian authorities,\n               immediately comply with their obligations under international law, including\n               international humanitarian law and international human rights law as applicable, and\n               further demands the full and immediate implementation of all the provisions of\n               Security Council resolutions 2139 (2014), 2165 (2014), 2191 (2014), 2258 (2015) and\n               2332 (2016), and noting also the Presidential Statements of 2 October 2013\n               (S/PRST/2013/15), 24 April 2015 (S/PRST/2015/10) and 17 August 2015\n               (S/PRST/2015/15) and recalls that some of the violations and abuses committed in\n               Syria may amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity;\n                     2.   Decides to renew the decisions in paragraphs 2 and 3 of Security Council\n               resolution 2165 (2014) for a further period of twelve months, that is, until 10 January\n               2019;\n\n\n\n 4/5                                                                                                      17-22870\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/2393 (2017)\n\n                3.    Requests the Syrian authorities to expeditiously respond to all requests for\n           cross-line deliveries submitted by the United Nations and their implementing\n           partners, and to give such requests positive consideration;\n                 4.   Reiterates that the situation will continue to deteriorate further in the\n           absence of a political solution to the Syrian conflict and recalls its demand for the\n           full and immediate implementation of resolution 2254 (2015) to facilitate a Syrianled and Syrian-owned political transition, in accordance with the Geneva\n           Communiqué as set forth in the ISSG Statements, in order to end the conflict in Syria,\n           and stresses again that the Syrian people will decide the future of Syria;\n                5.    Requests the Secretary-General to conduct, within six months of the\n           adoption of this resolution, an independent written review of the UN humanitarian\n           cross-border operations, including recommendations on how to further strengthen the\n           UN monitoring mechanism, taking into account the views of relevant parties\n           including the Syrian authorities, the relevant neighbouring countries of Syria and the\n           United Nations Humanitarian Agencies and their implementing partners;\n                 6.    Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Council on the\n           implementation of this resolution, and on compliance by all relevant parties in Syria,\n           within the framework of its reporting on resolutions 2139 (2014), 2165 (2014), 2191\n           (2014), 2258 (2015) and 2332 (2016) and further requests the Secretary-General to\n           include in his monthly reports overall trends in UN cross-line and cross-border\n           humanitarian access, and more detailed information on the humanitarian assistance\n           delivered through UN humanitarian cross-border operations as authorized by UNSCR\n           2165 (2014), including on the number of beneficiaries, locatio ns of aid deliveries at\n           district-level, and the volume and nature of items delivered;\n                7.

United\n               Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy,\n                     Recalling Resolution 2178 and the definition of foreign terrorist fighters, and\n               expressing grave concern over the acute and growing threat posed by foreign terrorist\n               fighters returning or relocating, particularly from conflict zones, to their countries of\n               origin or nationality, or to third countries,\n                     Reaffirming its call on Member States to ensure, in conformity with\n               international law, that refugee status is not abused by the perpetrators, organizers or\n               facilitators of terrorist acts, and that claims of political motivation are not recognized\n               as grounds for refusing requests for the extradition of alleged terrorists,\n                     Expressing continued concern that international networks have been established\n               and strengthened by terrorists and terrorist entities among states of origin, t ransit, and\n               destination, through which foreign terrorist fighters and the resources to support them\n               have been channelled back and forth,\n                     Acknowledging that returning and relocating foreign terrorist fighters have\n               attempted, organized, planned, or participated in attacks in their countries of origin\n               or nationality, or third countries, including against “soft” targets, and that the Islamic\n               State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) also known as Da’esh, in particular has called on\n               its supporters and affiliates to carry out attacks wherever they are located,\n                    Stressing the need for Member States to develop, review, or amend national risk\n               and threat assessments to take into account “soft” targets in order to develop\n               appropriate contingency and emergency response plans for terrorist attacks,\n                     Expressing grave concern that foreign terrorist fighters who have joined entities\n               such as (ISIL), the Al-Nusrah Front (ANF) and other cells, affiliates, splinter groups\n               or derivatives of ISIL, Al-Qaida or other terrorist groups, may be seeking to return to\n               their countries of origin or nationality, or to relocate to third countries, and\n               recognizing that the threat of returning or relocating foreign terrorist fighters includes,\n               among others, such individuals further supporting acts or activities of ISIL, Al-Qaida\n               and their cells, affiliates, splinter groups, and derivative entities, including by\n               recruiting for or otherwise providing continued support for such entities, and stressing\n               the urgent need to address this particular threat,\n                     Having regard to and highlighting the situation of individuals of more than one\n               nationality who travel abroad for the purpose of the perpetration, planning,\n               preparation of, or participation in, terrorist acts or the providing or receiving of\n               terrorist training, and may seek to return to their state of origin or nationality, or to\n               travel to a third state, and urging States to take action, as appropriate, in compliance\n               with their obligations under their domestic law and international law, including\n               international human rights law,\n                     Underlining the importance of strengthening international cooperation to\n               address the threat posed by foreign terrorist fighters, including on information\n               sharing, border security, investigations, judicial processes, extradition, improving\n               prevention and addressing conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism, preventing\n\n 2/13

(2017)\n\n           and countering incitement to commit terrorist acts, preventing radicalization to\n           terrorism and recruitment of foreign terrorist fighters, disrupting, preventing financial\n           support to foreign terrorist fighters, developing and implementing risks assessments\n           on returning and relocating foreign terrorist fighters and their families, and\n           prosecution, rehabilitation and reintegration efforts, consistent with applicable\n           international law,\n                Recognizing, in this regard, that foreign terrorist fighters may be travelling with\n           family members they brought with them to conflict zones, with families they have\n           formed or family members who were born while in conflict zones, underscoring the\n           need for Member States to assess and investigate these individuals for any potential\n           involvement in criminal or terrorist activities, including by employing evidence -\n           based risk assessments , and to take appropriate action in compliance with rel evant\n           domestic and international law, including by considering appropriate prosecution,\n           rehabilitation, and reintegration measures, and noting that children may be especially\n           vulnerable to radicalization to violence and in need of particular social support , such\n           as post-trauma counselling, while stressing that children need to be treated in a\n           manner that observes their rights and respects their dignity, in accordance with\n           applicable international law,\n                 Noting with concern that terrorists craft distorted narratives, which are utilized\n           to polarize communities, recruit supporters and foreign terrorist fighters, mobilize\n           resources and garner support from sympathizers, in particular by exploiting\n           information and communications technologies, including through the Internet and\n           social media,\n                 Encouraging Member States to collaborate in the pursuit of effective counternarrative strategies and initiatives, including those relating to foreign terrorist fighters\n           and individuals radicalized to violence, in a manner compliant with their obligations\n           under international law, including international human rights law, international\n           refugee law and international humanitarian law,\n                 Calling upon Member States to improve timely information sharing, through\n           appropriate channels and arrangements, and consistent with international and\n           domestic law, on foreign terrorist fighters, especially among law enforcement,\n           intelligence, counterterrorism, and special services agencies, to aid in determining the\n           risk foreign terrorist fighters pose, and preventing them from planning, directing,\n           conducting, or recruiting for or inspiring others to commit terrorist attacks,\n                 Recognizing that Member States face challenges in obtaining admissible\n           evidence, including digital and physical evidence, from conflict zones that can be\n           used to help prosecute and secure the conviction of foreign terrorist fighters and those\n           supporting foreign terrorist fighters,\n                Welcoming the establishment of the UN Office on Counterterrorism (UNOCT),\n           and encouraging continued cooperation on counterterrorism efforts between UNOCT,\n           the Counter Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED), International Civil\n           Aviation Organization (ICAO), and United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime\n           (UNODC), and all other relevant UN bodies, and INTERPOL, on technical assistance\n           and capacity building, in coordination with other relevant international, regional and\n           subregional organizations, to assist Member States in implementing the Global\n           Counter Terrorism Strategy,\n                Welcoming recent developments and initiatives at the international, regional and\n           subregional levels to prevent and suppress international terrorism, including the UN\n           Counter-terrorism Committee’s 2015 Madrid Guiding Principles, and noting the\n           ongoing work of the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF), in particular its 2016\n           adoption of the Hague-Marrakech Memorandum Addendum on Good Practices for a\n\n17-23112                                                                                                        3/13\n\nS/RES/2396 (2017)\n\n               More Effective Response to the FTF Phenomenon with a focus on Returning FTFs\n               and its comprehensive set of good practices to address the foreign terrorist fighter\n               phenomenon, and its publication of several other framework documents and good\n               practices, including in the areas of countering violent extremism conducive to\n               terrorism, including online, criminal justice, prosecution, rehabilita tion and\n               reintegration, soft target protection, kidnapping for ransom, providing support to\n               victims of terrorism, and community-oriented policing to assist interested States with\n               the practical implementation of the United Nations counter-terrorism legal and policy\n               framework and to complement the work of the relevant United Nations counter -\n               terrorism entities in these areas,\n                     Expressing concern that Foreign Terrorist Fighters may use civil aviation both\n               as a means of transportation and as a target, and may use cargo both to target civil\n               aviation and as a means of shipment of materiel, and noting in this regard that\n               International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 9 and Annex 17 to the\n               Convention on International Civil Aviation, done at Chicago on Decemb er 7, 1944\n               (the “Chicago Convention”), contain standards and recommended practices relevant\n               to the detection and prevention of terrorist threats involving civil aviation, including\n               cargo screening,\n                    Welcoming, in this regard, ICAO’s decision to establish a standard under\n               Annex 9 — Facilitation, regarding the use of Advance Passenger Information (API)\n               systems by its Member States with effect from October 23, 2017, and recognizing that\n               many ICAO Member States have yet to implement this standard,\n                     Noting with concern that terrorists and terrorist groups continue to use the\n               Internet for terrorist purposes, and stressing the need for Member States to act\n               cooperatively when taking national measures to prevent terrorists from exploiting\n               technology and communications for terrorist acts, as well as to continue voluntary\n               cooperation with private sector and civil society to develop and implement more\n               effective means to counter the use of the Internet for terrorist purposes, including by\n               developing counter-terrorist narratives and through innovative technological\n               solutions, all while respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms and in\n               compliance with domestic and international law, and taking note of the industry led\n               Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT ) and calling for the GIFCT to\n               continue to increase engagement with governments and technology companies\n               globally,\n                     Recognizing the development of the UN CTED-ICT4 Peace Tech Against\n               Terrorism initiative and its efforts to foster collaboration with repres entatives from\n               the technology industry, including smaller technology companies, civil society,\n               academia, and government to disrupt terrorists’ ability to use the Internet in\n               furtherance of terrorist purposes, while also respecting human rights and fundamen tal\n               freedoms,\n                     Noting with appreciation the efforts of INTERPOL, to address the threat posed\n               by foreign terrorist fighters, including through global law enforcement information\n               sharing enabled by the use of its secure communications network, databases, an d\n               system of advisory notices and procedures to track stolen, forged identity papers and\n               travel documents, and INTERPOL’s counter-terrorism fora and foreign terrorist\n               fighter programme,\n                    Recognizing that relevant information, including information included in\n               INTERPOL databases from Member States, should be shared among national\n               agencies, such that law enforcement, judicial and border security officers can\n               proactively and systematically use that information as a resource, where appropriate\n               and necessary, for investigations, prosecutions and screening at points of entry,\n\n\n 4/13                                                                                                     17-23112\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/2396 (2017)\n\n                 Recognizing that a comprehensive approach to the threat posed by foreign\n           terrorist fighters requires addressing the conditions conducive to the spread of\n           terrorism, including by preventing radicalization to terrorism, stemming recruitment,\n           disrupting financial support to terrorists, countering incitement to commit terrorist\n           acts, and promoting political and religious tolerance, good governance, economic\n           development, social cohesion and inclusiveness, ending and resolving armed\n           conflicts, and facilitating investigation, prosecution, reintegration and rehabilitation,\n                 Reaffirming its request in paragraph 2 of resolution 2379 (2017), to establish an\n           investigative team, to be headed by a Special Adviser, to support domestic efforts to\n           hold ISIL (Da’esh) accountable by collecting, preserving, and storing evidence in Iraq\n           of acts that may amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide\n           committed by the terrorist group ISIL (Daesh) in Iraq, and recalling its invitation in\n           paragraph 29 of resolution 2388 to the Secretary-General to ensure that the work of\n           the Investigative Team is informed by relevant anti-trafficking research and expertise\n           and that its efforts to collect evidence on trafficking in persons offences are gender -\n           sensitive, victim centred, trauma-informed, rights-based and not prejudicial to the\n           safety and security of victims,\n                 Acknowledging that prisons can serve as potential incubators for radicalization\n           to terrorism and terrorist recruitment, and that proper assessment and monitoring of\n           imprisoned foreign terrorist fighters is critical to mitigate opportunities for terrorists\n           to attract new recruits, recognizing that prisons can also serve to rehabilitate and\n           reintegrate prisoners, where appropriate, and also recognizing that Member States\n           may need to continue to engage with offenders after release from prison to avoid\n           recidivism, in accordance with relevant international la w and taking into\n           consideration, where appropriate, the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for\n           the Treatment of Prisoners, or “Nelson Mandela Rules”,\n                 Noting that some member states may face technical assistance and capacity\n           building challenges when implementing this resolution, and encouraging the\n           provision of assistance from donor states to help address such gaps,\n                Encouraging relevant UN entities, including UNODC and UNOCT, to further\n           enhance, in close consultation with the Counter-Terrorism Committee and CTED, the\n           provision and delivery of technical assistance to States, upon request, to better support\n           Member State efforts to implement this resolution,\n\n           Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations\n                 1.    Recalls its decision in resolution 2178 that all Member States shall\n           establish serious criminal offenses regarding the travel, recruitment, and financing of\n           foreign terrorist fighters, urges Member States to fully implement their obligations in\n           this regard, including to ensure that their domestic laws and regulations establish\n           serious criminal offenses sufficient to provide the ability to prosecute and to penalize\n           in a manner duly reflecting the seriousness of the offense, and reiterates its call on\n           Member States to cooperate and support each other’s efforts to counter violent\n           extremism conducive to terrorism;\n\n           Border Security and Information Sharing\n                 2.   Calls upon Member States to prevent the movement of terrorists by\n           effective national border controls and controls on issuance of id entity papers and\n           travel documents, and through measures for preventing counterfeiting, forgery or\n           fraudulent use of identity papers and travel documents;\n                 3.

Further calls upon Member States to assess and investigate individuals\n               whom they have reasonable grounds to believe are terrorists, including suspected\n               foreign terrorist fighters, and distinguish the m from other individuals, including their\n               accompanying family members who may not have been engaged in foreign terrorist\n               fighter-related offenses, including by employing evidence-based risk assessments,\n               screening procedures, and the collection and analysis of travel data, in accordance\n               with domestic and international law, including international human rights and\n               humanitarian law, as applicable, without resorting to profiling based on any\n               discriminatory ground prohibited by international law;\n                     5.     Calls upon Member States, in accordance with domestic and international\n               law, to intensify and accelerate the timely exchange of relevant operational\n               information and financial intelligence regarding actions or movements, and patterns\n               of movements, of terrorists or terrorist networks, including foreign terrorist fighters,\n               including those who have travelled to the conflict zones or are suspected to have\n               travelled to the conflict zones, and their families travelling back to their countries of\n               origin or nationality, or to third countries, from conflict zones, especially the\n               exchange of information with their countries of origin, residence or nationality,\n               transit, as well as their destination country, through national, bilateral and multilateral\n               mechanisms, such as INTERPOL;\n                     6.

Republic\n               (CAR), in particular resolutions 2121 (2013), 2127 (2013), 2134 (2014), 2149 (2014),\n               2181 (2014), 2196 (2015), 2212 (2015), 2217 (2015), 2262 (2016), 2264

its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity and\n               territorial integrity of the CAR, and recalling the importance of the principles of\n               non-interference, good-neighbourliness and regional cooperation,\n                    Recalling that the CAR bears the primary responsibility to protect all\n               populations within its territory from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and\n               crimes against humanity,\n                     Expressing concern at the deterioration of the security situation, in particular in\n               the south-eastern part and the north-western part of the CAR, due to the ongoing\n               clashes between armed groups and other armed spoilers in their attempts to forcefully\n               gain control of territory and resources and destabilize the country, as well as the lack\n               of capacity of the national security forces, the limited authority of the State over all\n               of the CAR territory, and the persistence of the root causes of the conflict,\n                    Emphasizing that any sustainable solution to the crisis in the CAR should be\n               CAR-owned, including the political process, and should prioritize reconciliation of\n               the Central African people, through an inclusive process that involves men and\n               women of all social, economic, political, religious and ethnic backgrounds, including,\n               those displaced by the crisis,\n                     Calling upon the CAR authorities to continue their efforts to implement\n               transparent and inclusive measures that allow for stabilization and reconciliation in\n               the CAR and restore the effective authority of the State over all of the territory of the\n               CAR; to fight impunity by restoring administration of the judiciary and the criminal\n               justice system, including the penitentiary system, throughout the country; to achieve\n               the reform of the CAR Armed Forces (FACA) and internal security forces in order to\n               put in place multi-ethnic, professional, and republican security services through\n\n\n\n\n18-01390 (E)\n*1801390*\n\nS/RES/2399 (2018)\n\n               appropriate security sector reform processes; to carry out the inclusive and effective\n               disarmament, demobilization, reintegration and repatriation (DDRR) of armed\n               groups, including children formerly associated with them and to prevent the\n               re-recruitment of the latter; and to establish a functioning public financial\n               management in order to meet the expenses related to the functioning of the State,\n               implement early recovery plans, and revitalize the economy,\n                     Welcoming the African Initiative for Peace and Reconciliation in the CAR that\n               led to the adoption of the roadmap by the ministerial conference held in Libreville on\n               17 July 2017 by the CAR authorities, the African Union, the Economic Community\n               of Central African States (ECCAS), the International Conference on the Great Lakes\n               region (ICGLR) with the support of Angola, Chad, Congo and Gabon, and reaffirming\n               that this Initiative and this roadmap constitute the main framework for a political\n               solution in the CAR, as agreed by CAR authorities and under their leadership,\n                     Encouraging the CAR authorities, in collaboration with the United Nations\n               Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic\n               (MINUSCA) and the European Union Training Mission in the CAR (EUTM-RCA),\n               to provide equal opportunities for members of armed groups, whether anti-Balaka or\n               ex-Séléka, in the process of selecting eligible demobilized members to integrate into\n               the national security and defence forces, welcoming in this regard the launch of the\n               DDRR pilot project, and further encouraging the CAR authorities to ensure that\n               FACA soldiers of all prefectures enjoy equal access to the registration and simplified\n               verification process,\n                    Underlining the importance of rebuilding a multi-ethnic, republican and\n               professional national army in the CAR, recognizing in this regard the work carried\n               out by the EUTM-RCA, welcoming the support of other international and regional\n               partners to the training of the national security and defence forces in support of the\n               CAR authorities, and encouraging effective coordination with MINUSCA and\n               EUTM-RCA,\n                     Calling upon the CAR authorities to ensure that perpetrators of violations of\n               applicable international law, including those committed against children and women,\n               are excluded from the CAR security and armed forces, and further calling for support\n               for the CAR government to develop a comprehensive strategy on sexual and genderbased violence to reduce overall levels of sexual violence,\n                     Welcoming the commitment of the Secretary-General to enforce strictly his zerotolerance policy on sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA), noting the various measures\n               taken by MINUSCA and Troop- and Police-contributing countries to combat SEA,\n               which has led to a reduction in reported cases, but still expressing grave concern over\n               numerous allegations of SEA reportedly committed by peacekeepers in the CAR, as\n               well as by non-United Nations forces, stressing the urgent need for Troop- and Policecontributing countries and, as appropriate, MINUSCA to promptly investigate those\n               cases in a credible and transparent manner and to hold accountable those responsible\n               for such criminal offences or misconduct, and further stressing the need to prevent\n               such exploitation and abuse and to improve how these allegations are addressed in\n               line with resolution 2272 (2016),\n                    Welcoming the Secretary-General’s Report of 16 October 2017 (S/2017/865)\n               submitted pursuant to resolution 2301 (2016), and taking note of his letter dated\n               10 July 2017 addressed to the President of the Security Council (S/2017/597)\n               pursuant to paragraph 29 of resolution 2339 (2017),\n                     Further welcoming also the mid-term update and the final report (S/2017/1023)\n               of the Panel of Experts on the CAR established pursuant to resolution 2127 (2013),\n\n\n\n2/11                                                                                                     18-01390\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2399 (2018)\n\n           expanded by resolution 2134 (2014) and extended pursuant to resolution 2339 (2017),\n           and taking note of the Panel of Experts’ recommendations,\n                 Strongly condemning the ongoing violence and instability in the CAR, and the\n           threats of violence, incitement to ethnic and religious hatred and violence, human\n           rights violations and abuses and international humanitarian law violations, as well as\n           sexual and gender-based violence, in particular against children, committed notably\n           by both ex-Seleka and anti-Balaka elements and other armed groups; the attacks and\n           incitement to violence against United Nations peacekeepers and humanitarian\n           personnel; the continuous cycle of provocations and reprisals by armed groups, both\n           inside and outside Bangui and denial of humanitarian access, committed by armed\n           elements, which continue to adversely affect the dire humanitarian situation faced by\n           the civilian population and to impede humanitarian access to vulnerable populations,\n                 Stressing the urgent and imperative need to end impunity in the CAR and to\n           bring to justice perpetrators of these acts, some of which may amount to crimes under\n           the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), to which the CAR is a\n           State party, noting in this regard the opening by the Prosecutor of the International\n           Criminal Court on 24 September 2014 of an investigation following the request of the\n           national authorities on alleged crimes committed since 2012, and welcoming the\n           ongoing cooperation by the CAR authorities in this regard,\n                 Stressing the importance of putting in place an effective national judicial\n           system, underlining the need to bolster national accountability mechanisms, including\n           through further implementation of the 7 August 2014 Memorandum of Understanding\n           (MoU) on Urgent Temporary Measures, welcoming in this regard the progressive\n           operationalization of the Special Criminal Court (SCC) to investigate and prosecute\n           serious crimes committed in the CAR, and recalling the importance of continuous\n           support of the international community to this process pursued by the CAR\n           authorities,\n                 Emphasizing that those engaging in or providing support for acts that undermine\n           the peace, stability or security of the CAR, threaten or impede the political\n           stabilization and reconciliation process, target civilians and attack peacekeepers may\n           meet criteria for designation under sanctions as stated in this resolution,\n                Expressing concern that illicit trafficking, trade, exploitation and smuggling of\n           natural resources including gold, diamonds and wildlife has a negative impact in the\n           economy and the development of the country, and that it continues to threaten the\n           peace and stability of the CAR,\n                 Recalling the Kimberley Process (KP) Administrative Decision on Resumption\n           of Exports of Rough Diamonds from the CAR, its annexed Operational Framework,\n           and the work of the KP Monitoring Team for CAR, and recognizing the need to\n           strengthen the efforts of the CAR Authorities and the KP, to responsibly and\n           progressively, through pre-established “compliant zones”, reintegrate the CAR into\n           the global diamond trade,\n                Noting with concern the findings of the Panel of Experts’ final report that the\n           Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) remains active in the south-eastern part of the CAR\n           having carried out the killing and abduction of civilians, including children and\n           women,\n                 Further noting with concern the ongoing transnational criminal activity in the\n           region, emphasizing the risk of the situation in the CAR providing a conducive\n           environment for further transnational criminal activities, such as those involving arms\n           trafficking and the use of mercenaries as well as a potential breeding ground for\n           radical networks,\n\n\n18-01390                                                                                                      3/11\n\nS/RES/2399 (2018)\n\n                     Acknowledging in this respect the important contribution the Council-mandated\n               arms embargo can make to countering the illicit transfer of arms and related materiel\n               in the CAR and its region, and in supporting post-conflict peacebuilding, DDRR and\n               Security sector reform (SSR) processes, recalling its resolutions 2117 (2013), 2127\n               (2013), 2220 (2015), 2262 (2016) and 2339 (2017) and expressing grave concern at\n               the threat to peace and security in the CAR arising from the illicit transfer,\n               destabilizing accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons, and the use\n               of such weapons against civilians affected by armed conflict,\n                     Reiterating the importance of all Member States’ full implementation of the\n               measures set out in resolutions 2127 (2013), 2134 (2014), 2196 (2015), 2262 (2016),\n               2339 (2017) and this resolution, including the obligation to implement targeted\n               sanctions against individuals and entities designated by the Sanctions Committee\n               established pursuant to resolution 2127 (2013) (the Committee),\n                    Noting the critical importance of effective implementation of the sanctions\n               regime, including the key role that neighbouring States, as well as regional and\n               subregional organizations, can play in this regard and encouraging efforts to further\n               enhance cooperation and implementation of the sanctions regime in all its aspects,\n                     Noting with concern the reports that sanctioned individuals are travelling in the\n               region in violation of the travel ban, and underlining that individuals or entities who\n               knowingly facilitate the travel of a sanctioned individual in violation of the travel ban\n               may be determined by the Committee to have met the designation criteria for\n               sanctions,\n                     Further noting with concern the reports that funds, financial assets and\n               economic resources of listed individuals and entities have still not been frozen, and\n               underlining the obligation of Member States and CAR authorities to do so without\n               further delays,\n                    Welcoming efforts by the Chair of the Committee and the President of the\n               Security Council to support and strengthen the implementation of the measures\n               imposed pursuant to resolution 2339 (2017)

report on South Sudan, released on 27 October 2015, there were reasonable grounds\n               to believe that war crimes and crimes against humanity had been committed and the\n               report of the Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan, released on 23 February\n               2018 that war crimes and crimes against humanity may have been committed,\n               emphasizing

increase from\n               January 2017, and seven million in need of life-saving assistance, and that half of the\n               country’s children are out of school, stressing the responsibility borne by all parties\n               to the conflict for the immense suffering of the people of South Sudan, including the\n               destruction or damage to livelihoods and productive assets, commending United\n               Nations humanitarian agencies, partners, and donors for their efforts to provide urgent\n               and coordinated support to the population, and calling upon

obstructions by all parties to civilians’ movement and to\n               humanitarian actors’ movement to reach civilians in need of assistance, expressing\n               concern at the increasing ad hoc legislation, new taxes, and permits which are\n               hampering the delivery of humanitarian assistance across the countr y, and recalling\n               the need for all parties to the conflict to allow and facilitate, in accordance with\n               relevant provisions of international law and United Nations guiding principles of\n               humanitarian assistance, including humanity, impartiality, neutrality, and\n               independence, the full, safe and unhindered access of relief personnel, equipment and\n               supplies and timely delivery of

attacks against medical personnel\n               and hospitals, noting with alarm the increasing trend of harassment and intimidation\n               of humanitarian personnel, and recalling that

situation\n               within and beyond UNMISS sites, and stressing that any national caveat that\n               negatively affects the implementation of mandate effectiveness should not be\n               accepted by the Secretary-General, and further highlighting that lack of effective\n               command and control, refusal to obey orders, failure to respond to attacks on\n               civilians, inadequate equipment, and financial resources may adversely affect the\n               shared responsibility for effective mandate implementation,\n                     Welcoming the commitment of the Secretary-General to enforce strictly his zerotolerance policy on sexual exploitation and abuse, noting the various measures taken\n\n\n4/13

stressing the need to prevent such\n           exploitation and abuse and to improve how these allegations are addressed in line\n           with resolution 2272 (2016),\n                 Recognizing the significant resource and capacity challenges UNMISS faces in\n           implementing its mandate, expressing appreciation for UNMISS’s ongoing efforts to\n           ensure the safety of IDPs seeking protection on its sites, while recognizing the\n           importance of finding sustainable solutions for IDPs in keeping with the Guiding\n           Principles on Internal Displacement, and

(2015), will only be dismantled through dedicated commitment to women ’s\n           empowerment, participation, and human rights, concerted leadership, consistent\n           information and action, and support, to build women ’s engagement in all levels of\n           decision-making, and through ensuring that the full and effective participation and\n           involvement of women in all

Authorizes MONUSCO, in pursuit of its mandated tasks, to take all\n           necessary measures to carry out its mandate and requests the Secretary-General to\n           immediately inform the Security Council should the MONUSCO Force or Police fail\n           to do so;\n                 36.

         that UNISFA is now an interim security force with no viable exit strategy, and in this\n               regard, taking note of the need to reconfigure the mission in order to create the space\n               for a viable political process that would also serve as an exit strategy,\n                     Taking note of the security situation in the Abyei Area as characterized by the\n

leadership, consistent information and action, and support, to build\n               women’s engagement in all levels of decision-making, also recalling resolution 2242\n               and its aspiration to increase the number of women in military and police contingents\n               of United Nations peacekeeping operations,\n                     Expressing concern about the residual threat of landmines and explosive\n               remnants of war in the Abyei Area, which hinders the safe return of displaced persons\n               to their homes, safe migration, and livelihood activities,\n                     Recalling that the Security Council welcomed in resolution 2205 (2015) the\n               decision of the Secretary-General to appoint a civilian head of mission,\n

Recalls the police ceiling established in resolution 1990 (2011) and\n           requests the United Nations to immediately deploy additional United Nations police\n           in order to meet the authorized police ceiling of 50, and demands that the\n           Governments of Sudan and South Sudan provide full support to UNISFA in the\n           deployment of these personnel, including by promptly issuing visas;\n                 5.

decreased access to supplies that are necessary for food preparation,\n               including water and fuel,\n                     Noting with deep concern the serious humanitarian threat, posed to civilians by\n               landmines, explosive remnants of war and improvised explosive devices in affected\n               countries, which has serious and lasting social and economic consequences for the\n               populations of such countries and their agricultural activities, as well as of personnel\n               participating in law enforcement, humanitarian, peacekeeping, rehabilitation and\n               clearance programmes and operations,\n                     Stressing the particular impact that armed conflict has on women, children,\n               including as refugees and internally displaced persons, and other civilians who may\n               have specific vulnerabilities including persons with disabilities and older persons, and\n               stressing the protection and assistance needs of all affected civilian populations,\n                     Reaffirming the important role of women in the prevention and resolution of\n               conflicts and in peacebuilding, and stressing the importance of their equal\n               participation and full involvement in all efforts for the maintenance and promotion of\n               peace and security, and the need to increase their role in decision -making with regard\n               to conflict prevention and resolution,\n                    Recalling the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols of\n               1977, and the obligation of High Contracting Parties and parties to armed conflict to\n               respect and ensure respect for international humanitarian law in all circumstance s,\n                    Underlining that using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare may\n               constitute a war crime,\n                      Stressing that responding effectively to humanitarian needs in armed conflict,\n               including the threat of conflict-induced famine and food insecurity in situations of\n               armed conflict, requires respect for international humanitarian law by all parties to\n               conflict, underlining the parties’ obligations related to protecting civilians and\n               civilian objects, meeting the basic needs of the civilian population withi n their\n               territory or under their effective control, and allowing and facilitating the rapid and\n               unimpeded passage of impartial humanitarian relief to all those in need,\n                     Recalling its intention to mandate United Nations peacekeeping and other\n               relevant missions, where appropriate, to assist in creating conditions conducive to\n               safe, timely and unimpeded humanitarian assistance,\n                     Demanding that all parties to armed conflicts fully comply with their obligations\n               under international law, including international human rights law, as applicable, and\n               international humanitarian law, in particular their obligations under the Geneva\n               Conventions of 1949 and the obligations applicable to them under the Additional\n               Protocols thereto of 1977 and 2005, to

well as hospitals and other medical facilities,\n                     Reaffirming the obligation of all parties to an armed conflict to comply with\n               international humanitarian law, in particular their obligations under the Geneva\n               Conventions of 1949 and the obligations applicable to them under the Additional\n               Protocols thereto of 1977, to ensure the respect and protection of all hu manitarian\n               personnel and United Nations and associated personnel, as well as with the rules and\n               principles of international human rights law and refugee law,\n\n\n\n2/4                                                                                                       18-08386\n\n

humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence in the provision of\n           humanitarian assistance, including medical assistance, and reaffirming also the need\n           for all actors engaged in the provision of such assistance in situations of armed\n           conflict to promote and fully adhere to these principles,\n                 Stressing that the fight against impunity and to ensure accountability for\n           genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and other egregious crimes has been\n           strengthened through the work on and prosecution of these crimes in the national and\n           international criminal justice system, ad hoc and mixed tribunals as well as\n           specialized chambers in national tribunals,\n                Reaffirming the primary responsibility of States to protect the population\n           throughout their whole territory,\n                 1.    Recalls the link between armed conflict and violence and conflict-induced\n           food insecurity and the threat of famine, and calls on all parties to armed conflict to\n           comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law regarding\n           respecting and protecting civilians and taking constant care to spare civilian objects,\n           including objects necessary for food production and distribution such as farms,\n           markets, water systems, mills, food processing and storage sites, and hubs and means\n           for food transportation, and refraining from attacking, destroying, removing or\n           rendering useless objects that are indispensable to the survival of the civilian\n           population, such as foodstuffs, crops, livestock, agricultural assets, drinking water\n           installations and supplies, and irrigation works, and respecting and protecting\n           humanitarian personnel and consignments used for humanitarian relief operations;\n                 2.    Stresses in this regard that armed conflict, violations of international\n           humanitarian law and international human rights law, and food insecurity can be\n           drivers of forced displacement, and, conversely, forced displacement in countries in\n           armed conflict can have a devastating impact on agricultural production and\n           livelihoods, recalls the relevant prohibition on the forced displacement of civilians in\n           armed conflict, and stresses the importance of fully complying with international\n           humanitarian law and other applicable international law in this context;\n                 3.    Stresses the need for humanitarian assistance to be gender- and agesensitive, and to remain responsive to the different needs of the population, ensuring\n           that these needs are integrated in the humanitarian response;\n                 4.    Calls on all parties to armed conflict to comply with their obligations\n           under international humanitarian law, and underlines the importance of safe and\n           unimpeded access of humanitarian personnel to civilians in armed conflicts, calls\n           upon all parties concerned, including neighbouring States, to cooperate fully with the\n           United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator and United Nations agencies in providing\n           such access, invites States and the Secretary-General to bring to its attention\n           information regarding the unlawful denial of such access in violation of international\n           law, where such denial may constitute a threat to international peace and security,\n           and, in this regard, expresses its willingness to consider such information and, when\n           necessary, to adopt appropriate steps;\n                 5.  Strongly condemns the use of starvation of civilians as a method of warfare\n           in a number of conflict situations and prohibited by international humanitarian law;\n                 6.    Strongly condemns the unlawful denial of humanitarian access and\n           depriving civilians of objects indispensable to their survival, including wilfully\n           impeding relief supply and access for responses to conflict -induced food insecurity\n           in situations of armed conflict, which may constitute a violation of international\n           humanitarian law;\n\n\n18-08386                                                                                                        3/4\n\nS/RES/2417 (2018)\n\n                    7.     Urges all parties to protect civilian infrastructure which is critical to the\n               delivery of humanitarian aid and to ensure the proper functioning of food systems and\n               markets in situations of armed conflict;\n                      8.    Urges those with influence over parties to armed conflict to remind the\n               latter of their obligation to comply with international humanitarian law;\n                     9.     Recalls that the Council has adopted and can consider to adopt sanction\n               measures, where appropriate and in line with existing practice, that can be ap plied to\n               individuals or entities obstructing the delivery of humanitarian assistance, or access\n               to, or distribution of, humanitarian assistance;\n                     10. Strongly urges States to conduct, in an independent manner, full, prompt,\n               impartial and effective investigations within their jurisdiction into violations of\n               international humanitarian law related to the use of starvation of civilians as a method\n               of warfare, including the unlawful denial of humanitarian assistance to the civilian\n               population in armed conflict, and, where appropriate, to take action against those\n               responsible in accordance with domestic and international law, with a view to\n               reinforcing preventive measures, ensuring accountability and addressing the\n               grievances of victims;\n                    11. Requests the Secretary-General to continue to provide information on the\n               humanitarian situation and response, including on the risk of famine and food\n               insecurity in countries with armed conflict, as part of his regular reporting on country -\n               specific situations;\n                      12. Further requests the Secretary-General to report swiftly to the Council\n               when the risk of conflict-induced famine and wide-spread food insecurity in armed\n               conflict contexts occurs, and expresses its intention to give its full attention to such\n               information provided by the Secretary-General when those situations are brought to\n               its attention;\n                     13. Further requests the Secretary-General to brief the Security Council every\n               twelve months on the implementation of this resolution within his annual briefing on\n               the protection of civilians.\n\n\n\n\n4/4                                                                                                         18-08386\n", "text_length": 15138, "title": "Security Council resolution 2417 (2018) [on conflict-induced food insecurity]", "agenda_information": "S/73 [311] HUNGER\nS/73 [189] CIVILIAN PERSONS--ARMED CONFLICTS\nS/ X Protection of civilians in armed conflict.", "subjects": "HUMAN RIGHTS IN ARMED CONFLICTS|HUNGER|HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE", "vote_yes": 15, "vote_no": 0, "vote_abstention": 0, "vote_total": 15, "is_unanimous": true, "voting_countries": [{"country": "BOLIVIA (PLURINATIONAL STATE OF)", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "CHINA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "CÔTE D'IVOIRE", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "EQUATORIAL GUINEA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "ETHIOPIA", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "FRANCE", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "KAZAKHSTAN", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "KUWAIT", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "NETHERLANDS", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "PERU", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "POLAND", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "RUSSIAN FEDERATION", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "SWEDEN", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "UNITED KINGDOM", "vote": "yes"}, {"country": "UNITED STATES", "vote": "yes"}], "has_veto": false, "vetoed_by": [], "p5_abstentions": 0, "chapter6": false, "chapter7": false, "chapter8": false, "peace_threat": true, "peace_breach": false, "aggression": false, "self_defence": false, "human_rights": true, "enforcement_level": "threat", "m49_region": null, "m49_region_sub": null, "iso_alpha3": null, "iso_name": null, "cited_resolutions": ["2417"], "pdf_url_en": null, "meeting_record_url": null, "unified_id": 2633}

Underlines that States should cooperate fully with the Mechanism;\n                     3.     Commends States that have accepted the relocation of acquitted persons or\n               convicted persons who have completed serving their sentences to their territories, and\n               reiterates its call upon all States to cooperate with and render all necessary assistance\n               to the Mechanism, for increased efforts towards the relocation of acquitted persons\n               and convicted persons who have completed serving their sentences;\n                     4.    Urges all States, especially States where fugitives are suspected to be at\n               large, to intensify their cooperation with and render all necessary assistance to the\n               Mechanism, in particular to achieve the arrest and surrender of all remaining fugitives\n               indicted by the ICTR as soon as possible;\n                      5.   Emphasizes that, in view of the substantially reduced nature of the residual\n               functions, the Mechanism was established to be a small, temporary and efficient\n               structure, whose functions and size will diminish over time, with a small number of\n               staff commensurate with its reduced functions, and, recognizing in this regard the fu ll\n               commitment to these elements expressed by the Mechanism, urges the Mechanism to\n               continue to be guided in its activities by these elements;\n                     6.   Welcomes the report (S/2018/347) submitted by the Mechanism to the\n               Council pursuant to its Presidential State ment (S/PRST/2018/6) for the purposes of\n               the review of the progress of the work of the Mechanism, including in completing its\n               functions, as required by paragraph 17 of resolution 1966 of 22 December 2010, and\n               the report of the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) on the evaluation of\n               the methods and work of the Mechanism (S/2018/206);\n                     7.    Takes note of the work of the Mechanism to date, in particular\n               development of a legal and regulatory framework, procedures, and working practices\n               consistent with the Statute of the Mechanism and drawing on lessons learned from\n               and best practices of the ICTY and ICTR and of other tribunals, including its\n               implementation of the double-hatting of personnel, use of rosters to ensure judges and\n               staff are utilized only when required, enabling judges and staff to work remotely to\n               the maximum extent possible, and minimizing the need for full bench participation in\n               pre-trial and pre-appeal hearing work, in order to produce substantial reductions in\n               the costs of judicial activities compared to those of the ICTY and ICTR, and\n               commends the Mechanism for its efforts to produce such reductions;\n                     8.   Notes further the views and recommendations made with regard to the\n               Mechanism’s work by the Council’s Informal Working Group on International\n               Tribunals, as reflected in this resolution, and requests the Mechanism to take into\n               account those views and implement the recommendations, and to continue to take\n               steps, such as those referred to in paragraph 7, to further enhance efficiency and\n               effective and transparent management, in particular: (i) full implementation of the\n               outstanding recommendations of the OIOS; (ii) production of more focused\n               projections of completion timelines and disciplined adherence thereto, including by\n               making the best use of the diverse approaches of common law and civil law systems;\n\n\n2/3                                                                                                        18-10577\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/2422 (2018)\n\n           (iii) enhancement of the geographic diversity and gender balance of staff, while\n           ensuring continued professional expertise; (iv) implementation of a human resources\n           policy consistent with its temporary mandate; and (v) further reduction of costs,\n           including through, but not limited to, flexible staff engagement;\n                 9.   Reiterates its request to the Mechanism to include in its six-monthly\n           reports to the Council information on progress achieved in implementing this\n           resolution, as well as detailed information on the staffing of the Mechanism,\n           respective workload and related costs with breakdown by division and detailed\n           projections of the duration of residual functions based on available data;\n                10. Notes the views and concerns expressed by some Member States during\n           the Security Council debate on 6 June 2018 about the current approach of the\n           Mechanism to early release of persons convicted by the ICTR, and encourages the\n           Mechanism to consider an appropriate solution, including by considering putting in\n           place conditions on early release in appropriate cases;\n                 11. Notes the conclusion of the Council’s review of the progress of the work\n           of the Mechanism, including in completing its functions, since the la st review of the\n           Mechanism in December 2015, pursuant to resolution 1966 (2010);\n                12. Recalls, with a view to strengthening independent oversight of the\n           Mechanism, that, as set out in its Presidential Statement of 19 March 2018\n           (S/PRST/2018/6), future reviews carried out pursuant to paragraph 17 of resolution\n           1966 (2010) shall include evaluation reports sought from the OIOS with respect to\n           the methods and work of the Mechanism;\n                13.

to\n               achieve lasting peace and security in Mali,\n                   Stressing that all parties to the Agreement share the primary responsibility to\n               make steadfast

          order to preserve the relevance of the Agreement as well as to prevent the gains\n               achieved from being potentially reversed,\n                     Noting that the slow progress in the implementation of the Agreement,\n               particularly its defence and security provisions, as well as the delayed reform of the\n               security sector, have hampered efforts to restore security in the North of Mali, and\n               stressing that acceleration of the implementation of the Agreement would contribute\n               to enhancing State’s presence and to improving the security situation across Mali and\n               to forestalling attempts by terrorist groups to derail the implementation of the\n               Agreement,\n

Agreement constitute a basis for sanctions designations\n               pursuant to resolution 2374 (2017), among other designation criteria, and calling\n               upon all actors to cooperate

consideration to child protection issues\n               from the early stages of all peace processes, in particular the integration of child\n               protection provisions, as well as of peace agreements that put strong emphasis on the\n               best interest of the child, the treatment of children separated from armed groups as\n               victims and focus on family and community-based reintegration,\n                     Recalling the obligations of all parties to armed conflict applicable to them\n               under international humanitarian law and human rights

Recognizes the link between abductions, recruitment, sexual violence and\n               trafficking and that children in situations of armed conflict can be especially\n               vulnerable to trafficking in persons in armed conflict and to these forms of\n               exploitation, and encourages relevant parts of the UN system, and international and\n               regional bodies, within their respective mandates to work to address this issue;\n                    40.

The Government of South Sudan\n           began arming Bul Nuer youth in early 2015 to facilitate their participation in the\n           offensive. Most Bul Nuer youth already had access to AK-pattern automatic rifles,\n           but ammunition was critical to sustaining their operations. The Panel of Experts\n           reported evidence, including testimony from military sources, that ammunition was\n           supplied to youth groups by SPLA headquarters specifically for the offensive. Riak\n           was the SPLA Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics at the time. The offensive resulted\n           in systematic destruction of villages and infrastructure, the forced displacement of the\n           local population, the indiscriminate killing and torturing of civilians, the widespread\n           use of sexual violence, including against the elderly and children, the abduction and\n           recruitment of children as soldiers, and large population displacement. Following the\n           destruction of much of the southern and central parts of the state, numerous media\n           and humanitarian organizations, as well as the United Nations Mission in South Sudan\n           (UNMISS) published reports about the scale of the abuses that were perpetrated. ”\n           2.

He reportedly directed efforts to kill opposition leader Riek\n               Machar. He ordered SPLA units to prevent the transport of humanitarian supplies.\n               Under Malong’s leadership, the SPLA attacked civilians, schools and hospitals;\n               forced the displacement of civilians; carried out enforced disappearances; arbitrarily\n               detained civilians; and conducted acts of torture, and rape. He mobilized the Mathiang\n               Anyoor Dinka tribal militia, which uses child soldiers.

In his former position as the Chief of General Staff, he expanded or extended\n               the conflict in South Sudan through breaches of the Cessation of Hostilities\n               Agreement and breaches of the 2015 Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflic t in\n               South Sudan (ARCSS). As of early August 2016, Malong reportedly directed efforts\n               to kill South Sudanese opposition leader Riek Machar. Malong, knowingly\n               countermanding President Salva Kiir’s orders, ordered the 10 July 2016 tank,\n               helicopter gunship, and infantry assaults on Machar’s residence and the Sudan\n               Peoples’ Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO)’s “Jebel” base. Malong\n               personally oversaw efforts from SPLA headquarters to intercept Machar. As of early\n               August 2016, Malong wanted the SPLA to attack Machar’s suspected position\n               immediately and informed SPLA commanders that Machar was not to be taken alive.\n               In addition, in early 2016 information indicates that Malong ordered SPLA units to\n               prevent the transport of humanitarian supplies across the N ile River, where tens of\n               thousands of civilians were facing hunger, claiming that food aid would be diverted\n               from civilians to militia groups. As a result of Malong’s orders, food supplies were\n               blocked from crossing the Nile for at least two weeks.\n\n\n\n8/9                                                                                                       18-11685\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2428 (2018)\n\n           Throughout his tenure as Chief of General Staff of the SPLA, Malong has been\n           responsible for the SPLA and its allied forces’ perpetration of serious abuses including\n           attacks on civilians, forced displacement, enforced disappearances, arbitrary\n           detentions, torture, and rape. Under Malong’s leadership, the SPLA launched attacks\n           directed against the civilian population and intentionally killed unarmed and fleeing\n           civilians. In the Yei area alone, the UN documented 114 killings of civilians by the\n           SPLA and its allied forces between July 2016 and January 2017. The SPLA\n           intentionally attacked schools and hospitals. In April 2017, Malong allegedly ordered\n           the SPLA to clear all people, including civilians from the area around Wau. Malong\n           reportedly did not discourage the killing of civilians by the SPLA troops, and persons\n           suspected of hiding rebels were considered legitimate targets.\n           According to a 15 October 2014 African Union Commission of Inquiry on South\n           Sudan report, Malong was responsible for the mass mobiliza tion of Mathiang Anyoor\n           Dinka tribal militia, which Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements\n           Monitoring Mechanism (CTSAMM) documented use child soldiers.\n           Under Malong’s leadership of the SPLA, the government forces regularly restricted\n           United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), Joint Monitoring and Evaluation\n           Commission (JMEC), and CTSAMM’s access when they tried to investigate and\n           document abuses. For example, on April 5, 2017, a joint UN and CTSAMM patrol\n           tried to access Pajok but was turned back by SPLA soldiers.\n\n\n\n\n18-11685                                                                                                        9/9\n", "text_length": 34073, "title": "Security Council resolution 2428 (2018) [on renewal of sanctions imposed by Security Council resolution 2206 (2015) and extension of the mandate of the Panel of Experts on South Sudan until 1 July 2019]", "agenda_information": "S/73 [223] SOUTH SUDAN--POLITICAL CONDITIONS\nS/73 [216] UN MISSION IN SOUTH SUDAN\nS/ X Reports of the Secretary-General on the Sudan and South Sudan.", "subjects": "UN.

in security conditions while expressing concern\n               that the security situation in Darfur remains precarious due to the destabilising\n               activities of a number of actors, including elements of some armed movements,\n               auxiliary units of the Government of Sudan forces and militia groups, and which\n               further exacerbate insecurity, threats against civilians in Darfur, inter-communal\n               violence, acts of criminality, and the lack of development and rule of law,\n                    Welcoming the reduction of military confrontations between Government forces\n               and rebel groups, noting the announcement of unilateral cessations of hostilities by\n               the Government of Sudan and by the Sudan Liberation Army/Minni Minnawi\n               (SLA/MM), the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM)/Gibril and the Sudan\n               Liberation Movement-Transitional Council (SLM-TC),\n                     Expressing concern at ongoing clashes in Jebel Marra, which have resulted in\n               burning down of villages, new civilian displacement, and restricted humanitarian\n               access, condemning any violations of unilateral cessations of hostilities and urging\n               all parties to abide by their unilateral cessations of ho stilities, where they exist, and\n               to immediately agree to a permanent ceasefire,\n                     Recalling its resolution 2117 (2013) and expressing concern at the threat to\n               peace and security in Darfur arising from the illicit transfer, destabilising\n               accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons, and the continued threats\n               to civilians posed by unexploded ordnance, recognising the role of the Sudan-Chad\n               Joint Border Force and the weapons-collection programme launched by the\n               Government in this regard, and noting that the programme has contributed to the\n               reduction in inter-communal violence and criminality,\n                    Reiterating its demand that all parties to the conflict in Darfur immediately end\n               violence, including attacks on civilians, peacekeepers and humanitarian personnel,\n                     Noting that, notwithstanding the significant decrease in inter-communal\n               conflicts, they remain one of the main sources of violence in Darfur and expressing\n               concern at ongoing inter-communal conflicts over land, access to water and other\n               resources, migration issues and tribal rivalries, including with the involvement of\n               paramilitary units and tribal militias, as well as at the persistence of attacks against\n               civilians, sexual and gender-based violence and grave violations against children, and\n               that crucial grievances that caused the conflict remain unaddressed,\n                      Welcoming efforts by the Government of Sudan, including local authorities, to\n               restore law and order through the deployment across Darfur of add itional human and\n               material resources for policing, corrections and judiciary, noting that rule of law\n               capacity remains limited, urging the Government of Sudan to consolidate and expand\n               its efforts to end impunity and to enhance the protective environment f or the civilian\n               population, without any discrimination, particularly with respect to violations and\n               abuses of women’s rights and sexual and gender-based violence as well as grave\n               violations and abuses against children, and acknowledging the important role\n               UNAMID has played in strengthening rule of law institutions, and noting requests\n               from state and local officials for increased rule-of-law capacity building assistance\n               from the UN Country Team and UNAMID, particularly to benefit the Sudanese police\n               and judicial and corrections institutions, to establish a protective environmen t,\n                    Emphasising that those responsible for violations of international humanitarian\n               law and violations and abuses of human rights must be held accountable and that the\n               Government of Sudan bears the primary responsibility to protect civilians, including\n               women and children, within its territory and subject to its jurisdiction, including\n               protection from crimes against humanity and war crimes,\n\n\n2/15                                                                                                        18-11690\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2429 (2018)\n\n           Humanitarian situation and displacement and development issues\n                 Welcoming significant reductions in the number of internally displaced persons\n           (IDPs), while expressing concern that a very significant number, approximately two\n           million people, remain long term displaced, most of whom are in need of\n           humanitarian assistance, and that new civilian displacements have occurred in the\n           first and second quarters of 2018 as a result of clashes in Jebel Marra, that these\n           clashes have also negatively impacted humanitarian operations in those areas, and\n           calling on the Government of Sudan to facilitate immediately unhindered access for\n           UNAMID and humanitarian actors to populations in need of humanitarian assistance,\n           including those in areas of conflict,\n                 Welcoming some improvements in the protective environment, and noting the\n           reduction in the number of reported cases of human rights vi olations and abuses,\n           while recognising UNAMID’s reduced ability to monitor and verify reported human\n           rights violations and abuses in the areas from which it has withdrawn and expressing\n           concern that IDPs continue to face grave security threats including being killed,\n           raped, or harassed as they conduct life-sustaining activities outside the camps and the\n           worrying levels of sexual and gender-based violence and grave violations against\n           children, as well as findings in February 2018 from the UN Special Represen tative of\n           the Secretary General on Sexual Violence in Conflict that indicated an increase in\n           sexual violence against children in Darfur, that victims of sexual violence often face\n           denial, shame and stigma preventing them from reporting the crime or seeking\n           assistance, further compounding their suffering, and denial of justice and\n           accountability,\n                 Encouraging the Government of Sudan to swiftly ensure that the UNAMID team\n           sites already handed over and team sites that will be handed over in the future are\n           utilised in line with the agreements made between UNAMID and Government of\n           Sudan,\n                 Underlining the importance of the Government of Sudan addressing the root\n           causes of conflict and extending state authority, including through the strengthening\n           of the rule of law and respect for human rights throughout Darfur in order to make\n           the transition to peacebuilding possible and which should rapidly deliver real benefits\n           for the people of Darfur,\n                Recognising the adverse effects of climate change, ecological changes and\n           natural disasters, among other factors, on the situation in Darfur, including through\n           drought, desertification, land degradation and food insecurity,\n                 Recognising that the current national economic and fuel crisis in Sudan is having\n           a negative impact on the humanitarian situation, food security, and the ability of the\n           Sudanese government institutions, including the police, to provide services and\n           access to areas of Darfur, expressing concern that the total number of people in need\n           of humanitarian assistance in Sudan has increased from 5.5 million to 7.1 million as\n           a result, and calling on the Government of Sudan to ensure safe and unhindered\n           humanitarian access to meet the urgent needs of this population, and calling on\n           donors, the regional authorities in Darfur, and the Government of Sudan to provide\n           the financial resources necessary to reach those in need, including through the United\n           Nations Country Team, and to undertake activities in support of the transition to\n           peacebuilding, and urging the Government of Sudan and the local authorities to\n           ensure there is an environment conducive to the provision of such activities, including\n           improving access for development and peacebuilding actors,\n                Urging the Government of Sudan to ensure that the Darfur Peace Follow-up\n           Office is properly resourced in order to continue implementation of the work of the\n           former Darfur Regional Authority and the Commissions, urging donors and the\n\n18-11690                                                                                                      3/15\n\nS/RES/2429 (2018)\n\n               Government of Sudan to honour their pledges and fulfil their obligations in a timely\n               manner, including those commitments made at the conference in Doha in April 2013,\n                    Affirming that development can support a lasting peace in Darfur, noting that\n               the Darfur Development Strategy only extends through 2019 and calling on the\n               Government of Sudan and donors to engage and support the strategic review of the\n               Darfur Development Strategy, with a view to extending it to 2025, and further calling\n               on donors to ensure their funding is adequately aligned to Darfur ’s current\n               development needs,\n                      Recalling the commitments made by the Government of Sudan and other\n               signatories to the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur (DDP D) to ensure the\n               unhindered access of humanitarian assistance to the population in need and the\n               protection of humanitarian workers and their operations in areas under their control,\n               as well as to guarantee UNAMID unfettered freedom of movement in all areas and at\n               all times in Darfur in the exercise of its mandate, and further recalling the role of the\n               Implementation Follow-up Commission (IFC) in assessing the implementation of the\n               DDPD,\n\n               Political situation\n                     Reiterating that there can be no military solution to the conflict in Darfur, and\n               that an inclusive political settlement is essential to ensuring peace, and underscoring\n               the importance of fully addressing the root causes of the conflict, including\n               management of land, water and other resources, in this regard reaffirming its support\n               for the DDPD as a viable framework to address the root causes of the conflict,\n               including for the peace process in Darfur, and for its accelerated implementation and\n               noting that UNAMID’s ability to facilitate progress in implementation of the DDPD\n               is hampered by delays and the absence of an inclusive political settlement between\n               the Government of Sudan and non-signatory armed movements,\n                     Reiterating its support for the African Union High Level Implementation Panel\n               (AUHIP) and the Roadmap, regretting the lack of progress in implementation, and\n               urging all parties to immediately re-engage in negotiations with the AUHIP on the\n               Roadmap to make immediate progress on the implementation of the Roadmap,\n               including the signing of cessation of hostilities and humanitarian assistance\n               agreements among the parties consistent with the first phase of the Roadmap, urging\n               the signatories to consider mutually acceptable, viable options for the implementation\n               of the Roadmap and further urging non-signatory groups to join negotiations without\n               delay,\n                     Noting that the Government of Sudan has continued to express its openness for\n               outstanding opposition groups to join the Sudan National Dialogue process, and\n               encouraging the Government of Sudan to create a more conducive and inclusive\n               environment that would enable outstanding opposition groups to contribute to this\n               process, including by contributing to the recommendations agreed in the national\n               document, modalities for their implementation, and to join the National Dialogue\n               process that would include the drafting of a new constitution,\n                     Noting that local dispute resolution mechanisms play an important role in\n               preventing and resolving inter-communal conflict, including conflict over natural\n               resources, urging an intensification of effective efforts to prevent local disputes\n               leading to violence, with its corresponding impact on the local civilian populations,\n               acknowledging the efforts of Sudanese authorities, with the support of UNAMID,\n               efforts of the United Nations Country Team and civil society, particularly through the\n               Darfur Community Peace and Stability Fund (DCPSF), in this regard, welcoming the\n               encouraging conclusion of several inter-communal peace agreements, with support\n               from UNAMID, the United Nations Country Team and civil society, and urging their\n\n4/15                                                                                                       18-11690\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2429 (2018)\n\n           continued work in collaboration with the Government of Sudan to find sustainable\n           solutions to these conflicts,\n                 Welcoming regional and other initiatives, undertaken in close interaction with\n           the Government of Sudan, to address the root causes of the conflict in Darfur and to\n           promote a sustainable peace, commending the efforts of the AU-HIP, led by President\n           Thabo Mbeki and the efforts of the Joint Special Representative (JSR) to secure\n           peace, stability and security in Darfur, including through support to international,\n           regional and national efforts to revitalise the peace process and increase its\n           inclusiveness,\n                 Calling on all parties to comply with their obligations under international human\n           rights law and international humanitarian law, stressing the importance that the\n           Council attaches to ending impunity including through ensuring accountability and\n           bringing to justice the perpetrators of crimes, including sexual and gender-based\n           violence, committed by all parties in Darfur, urging the Government of Sudan to\n           comply with its obligations in this respect, recognising the role of the Special\n           Prosecutor for Darfur appointed by the Government of Sudan, particularly with\n           respect to cases of sexual and gender-based violence, and stressing the need for\n           progress in particular in investigating and prosecuting sexual and gender -based\n           violence cases with respect to perpetrators on all sides, reiterating the call for swift\n           progress on the draft Memorandum of Understanding providing for UNAMID and\n           African Union observation of the proceedings of the Special Court, and calling on the\n           Government of Sudan to investigate swiftly attacks against U NAMID, and to bring\n           the perpetrators to justice,\n                 Reaffirming its concern over the negative effect of instability in Darfur on the\n           stability of Sudan as a whole as well as the region, expressing serious concern at the\n           presence of Darfur armed movements in conflict areas outside Sudan and their\n           involvement in migrant smuggling, criminal activity banditry and mercenary\n           activities and encouraging cooperation between regional state actors to address crossborder issues, such as weapons smuggling, in order to ac hieve

resolution\n           1591 (2005), as updated in paragraph 9 of resolution 1945 (2010) and paragraph 4 of\n           resolution 2035 (2012),\n                 Commending UNAMID for the successful

with appreciation the Special Report of the Secretary-General and the\n           Chairperson of the African Union Commission of 1 June 2018 ( S/2018/530) (the\n           ‘Special Report’),\n                 Welcoming the improvement in freedom of movement for UNAMID as well as\n           in the issuance of visas for UNAMID staff and the processing of UNAMID containers,\n           but expressing concern that restrictions remain in place, including restrictions from\n           the Government of Sudan on the conduct of night patrols all over Darfur and\n           restrictions preventing UNAMID and humanitarian actors from reaching areas where\n           there are instances of conflict in a timely fashion in response to the ongoing reports\n           of violent incidents in the Jebel Marra area, and that obstacles, including bureaucratic\n           obstacles, imposed on UNAMID continue to jeopardise its ability to deliver on its\n           mandate, including visa restrictions targeted at some elements of UNAMID,\n           particularly the human rights section, and ongoing delays in the processing of\n           UNAMID containers, recognising the Government of Sudan’s commitment to\n           cooperate with UNAMID and humanitarian personnel on all logistical issues and\n           calling on the Government of Sudan to honour continuously its commitment in full\n\n18-11690                                                                                                       5/15\n\nS/RES/2429 (2018)\n\n               to ensure that humanitarian personnel and UNAMID can operate in support of\n               addressing basic needs,\n                    Determining that the situation in Sudan constitutes a threat to international\n               peace and security,\n                    1.    Decides to extend until 30 June 2019 the mandate of UNAMID;\n                     2.    Recalls its support in resolution 2363 (2017) for UNAMID to adopt a twopronged approach as set out in paragraph 2 of resolution 2363 (2017), reiterates its\n               continued support for this approach, takes note of the recommendations in the\n               Secretary-General and Chairperson of the African Commission in the Special Report\n               (2/2018/530) that presents a whole-of-system approach for Darfur which includes a\n               new mission concept with adjusted priorities for UNAMID as well as a transition\n               concept in collaboration with the United Nations Country Team over a two -year\n               timeframe with a view towards the exit of the Mission on 30 June 2020 and liquidation\n               by December 2020, provided that there is no significant change in the security\n               situation in Darfur and key indicators are fulfilled;\n                     3.    Requests UNAMID to consolidate the whole-of system-approach to Darfur\n               focused on peacekeeping and providing sustainable solutions to the drivers of conflict\n               with the Mission’s current two-pronged approach, in order to prevent relapse and\n               enable the Government of Sudan, United Nations Country Team, civil society, as well\n               as international actors to prepare for UNAMID’s eventual exit;\n                    4.     Underlines the need to keep the situation in all areas of Darfur under\n               review, to conduct regular reviews of the geographic deployment of UNAMID’s force\n               and to maintain the flexibility within UNAMID to respond to developments\n               throughout Darfur as the situation requires;\n                    5.    Decides that UNAMID’s authorised ceiling for troops shall be reduced\n               over the course of this mandate renewal period to consist of up to 4,050 personnel\n               unless the Security Council decides to adjust the scope and pace of the reduction;\n                     6.   Authorises the deployment of the necessary police force, not exceeding\n               2,500 personnel, including individual police officers and members of formed police\n               units, essential for the implementation of UNAMID’s mandate, supports the\n               recommendations in the Special Report on the increase in personnel deployed to\n               certain formed police units;\n                    7.    Requests the Secretary-General to provide in his second 90 day report\n               requested in paragraph 53, and the Secretary-General and the Chairperson of the\n               African Commission, in consultation with UNAMID, to provide through a strategic\n               review by 1 May 2019, an assessment on the following:\n                    (i) progress in implementing the reconfiguration as outlined in paragraphs 5\n                    and 6 of this resolution;\n                    (ii) the overall impact of further reductions on the areas that UNAMID has\n                    withdrawn from, including protection needs, violations and abuses of human\n                    rights, sexual and gender-based violence and grave violations against children,\n                    as well as violations of international humanitarian law, and the ability for\n                    humanitarian and development actors to provide assistance;\n                    (iii) the Government of Sudan’s cooperation with UNAMID, including\n                    ensuring that UNAMID has unfettered freedom of movement and the ability to\n                    facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance throughout Darfur and the\n                    flexibility to open and close UNAMID operating bases and the ability for\n                    UNAMID’s forces to return, without impediments or obstacles, to areas\n                    throughout Darfur, including to areas that it has withdrawn from;\n\n\n6/15                                                                                                    18-11690\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2429 (2018)\n\n                (iv) the removal of bureaucratic hindrances to UNAMID, including with\n                regard to customs clearances, flight clearances, and visas;\n                (v) whether the conditions on the ground remain conducive to further\n                reductions;\n                (vi) whether the capacity of the United Nations Country Team and the\n                Government of Sudan, including the Sudanese police and Sudanese correctional\n                and judicial institutions, have increased to the level necessary to absorb former\n                UNAMID tasks, including an assessment of the preparations set out in\n                paragraphs 17 and 52 of this resolution;\n                 8.   Expresses its intention to review by 30 June 2019 the scope and pace of\n           the reconfigurations and further closure taking into account the findings of the 1 May\n           2019 strategic review requested in paragraph 7 of this resolution;\n                 9.   Stresses that, in the context of the evolving security situation, drawdown\n           of the Mission should be based on progress against the indicators and benchmarks as\n           outlined in paragraph 50, and the conditions on the ground, and implemented in a\n           gradual, phased, flexible and reversible manner, and that a reduction in the uniformed\n           component should preserve the hybrid nature of the M ission and should prioritise the\n           retention of the highest performing contingents;\n                 10. Underlines the need for appropriate staffing levels in accordance with the\n           reconfiguration of UNAMID, including the increased focus on stabilising the\n           situation in Darfur;\n                11. Decides that UNAMID’s redefined strategic priorities, as recommended in\n           the Special Report, are:\n                (i) The protection of civilians, monitoring and reporting on human rights,\n                sexual and gender-based violence and grave violations against children, the\n                facilitation of humanitarian assistance and the safety and security of\n                humanitarian personnel;\n                (ii) Mediation between the Government of Sudan and non-signatory armed\n                movements on the basis of the DDPD;\n                (iii) Support for the mediation of inter-communal or other local conflict that\n                could undermine the security situation, including through measures to address\n                its root causes, in conjunction with the Government of Sudan, the United\n                Nations Country Team and civil society;\n                  12. Requests that UNAMID continue to align all its activity and direct the use\n           of its resources to the achievement of these priorities, discontinue all other tasks not\n           aligned to these priorities and continue to streamline the Mission accordingly,\n           requests all components of the UNAMID Force, police and civilian components to\n           work together in an integrated way, requests UNAMID the United Nations Country\n           Team and other United Nations entities operating in Darfur to strengthen integration\n           and stresses the importance of the appropriate distribution of tasks and coordination\n           between UNAMID and the United Nations Country Team;\n                13. Reaffirms that UNAMID must continue to give priority in decisions about\n           the use of available capacity and resources to: (a) the protection of civilians across\n           Darfur; and (b) ensuring safe and unhindered humanitarian access, and the safety and\n           security of humanitarian personnel and activities, in accordance with relevant\n           provisions of international law and the United Nations guiding principles on\n           humanitarian assistance; and requests UNAMID to maximise the use of its\n           capabilities, in cooperation with the United Nations Country Team and other\n\n\n\n18-11690                                                                                                       7/15\n\nS/RES/2429 (2018)\n\n               international and non-governmental actors, in the implementation of its mission-wide\n               comprehensive strategy for the achievement of these objectives;\n                     14.

Decides, acting under Chapter VII, to extend the authorizations to take the\n               necessary action set out in paragraph 15 of resolution 1769 (2007), as further\n               elaborated in paragraph 16 of this resolution; and urges UNAMID to deter any threats\n               against itself and its mandate;\n                     16. Decides that the mandate of UNAMID shall, in pursuit of the strategic\n               priorities described in paragraph 11 of this resolution, include the tasks set out in\n               paragraph 15 resolution 2363 (2017);\n                     17.

Emphasises the primary responsibility of the Government of Sudan in the\n               establishment of peace and security throughout Darfur and urges the Government of\n               Sudan to focus its utmost efforts in supporting and cooperating with UNAMID and\n               the United Nations Country Team in fulfilment of the tasks set out in paragraph 18 of\n               this resolution;\n                    21. Stresses the importance of adequate resourcing for the United Nations\n               Country Team to provide support as highlighted in this resolution and encourages\n               Member States and relevant organisations to consider providing the necessary\n               voluntary funding;\n                     22. Takes note of the recommendation in the Special Report that an Office of\n               the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) should open an office in Sudan\n               in order to assist in the strengthening of human rights protections, requests the\n               Government of Sudan to engage in discussions with the OHCHR as regards the\n               establishment and activities of an office in Sudan with a full mandate for human rights\n               protection and promotion;\n\n\n8/15                                                                                                     18-11690\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/2429 (2018)\n\n                 23. Emphasises the crucial role that the African Union has in the stabilisation\n           of Darfur and encourages the Government of Sudan, UNAMID, and the United\n           Nations Country Team to engage with the African Union Commission, through its\n           relevant departments, in support of the tasks referenced in paragraph 18 of this\n           resolution and in support of the political process, security sector reform and DDR;\n                 24. Welcomes efforts to increase the effectiveness of UNAMID, and in this\n           regard, underlines that UNAMID should ensure a higher degree of flexibility in its\n           military deployments throughout Darfur and enhance the field presence of individual\n           police officers and calls on the Secretary-General to ensure that Memoranda of\n           Understanding (MoUs) and Statements of Unit Requirements ( SURs) between\n           UNAMID troop- and police-contributing countries and the United Nations reflect this\n           need;\n                25.

S/PRST/2011/15, recognising the adverse\n           effects of climate change, ecological changes and natural disasters among other\n           factors on the stability of Somalia, including through drought, desertification, land\n           degradation, and food insecurity, and emphasising the need for adequate risk\n           assessment and risk management strategies by governments and the United Nations\n           relating to these factors,\n                 Determining that the situation in Somalia continues to constitute a threat to\n           international peace and security,\n                Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n\n           AMISOM\n                  1.   Emphasises that the long term objective for Somalia, with the support of\n           its international partners, is that Somali security institutions and forces assume full\n           responsibility for Somalia’s security, and in this regard recognises that AMISOM\n           remains critical to security during this transition to allow for the Somali security\n           institutions and forces to build their capacities;\n                2.    Agrees with the Secretary-General that conditions in Somalia are not\n           appropriate for the deployment of a United Nat ions peacekeeping mission, and\n           requests the Secretary-General to keep the benchmarks for deployment under\n           continuous review;\n                 3.   Underlines that the increases in the force strength decided in resolutions\n           2036 (2012) and 2124 (2013) were to provide short term enhancement to AMISOM’s\n           military capacity, and as part of an overall exit strategy for AMISOM, after which a\n           decrease in AMISOM’s force strength will be considered in light of progress on the\n           ground;\n                 4.    Welcomes in this regard the recommendation of the AU-UN Review to\n           continue the gradual and phased reduction and reorganisation of AMISOM ’s\n           uniformed personnel in line with the implementation of the tra nsition plan in order to\n           provide a greater support role to the Somali security forces in line with the National\n           Security Architecture as they progressively take the lead for security in Somalia,\n           expresses its intention to follow closely the implementation of the transition plan and\n           progress towards the handover of security responsibility from AMISOM to Somali\n           security institutions with the aim of Somali security institutions taking the lead by\n           December 2021, further welcomes the FGS’s commitment and steps to implement the\n           transition plan, including through the conduct of joint operations in order to become\n           the primary security provider in Somalia, and underscores the need for transition of\n           security responsibility to take into consideration the security situa tion in each\n           location;\n\n\n\n\n18-12580                                                                                                      3/12\n\nS/RES/2431 (2018)\n\n               Priorities and tasks\n                     5.

        situation with respect to piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia and\n               recalling its previous resolutions concerning the situation in Somalia, especially\n

respect to offshore natural resources,\n               including fisheries,\n                     Noting that the joint counter-piracy efforts of States, regions, organizations, the\n               maritime industry, the private sector, think tanks, and civil society have resulted in a\n               steady decline in pirate attacks as well as hijackings since 2011, with no successful\n               ship hijackings reported off the coast of Somalia since March 2017 however,\n               recognizing the ongoing threat that resurgent piracy and armed robbery at sea poses\n               to the prompt, safe, and effective delivery of humanitarian aid to Somalia and the\n               region, to the safety of seafarers and other persons, to international navigation and\n               the safety of commercial maritime routes, and to other ships, including fishing vessels\n               operating in conformity with international law, commending countries that have\n               deployed naval forces in the Gulf of Aden and the Somali Basin to dissuade piracy\n               networks from carrying out acts of piracy,\n                     Welcoming the reinstatement of the

and Federal Member States\n               and urged the National Security Council to agree on a delineation of roles of the\n\n\n\n18-18704 (E)\n*1818704*\n\nS/RES/2442 (2018)\n\n               Somali

as reflected in the United Nations\n               Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 (“The Convention”), sets out\n               the legal framework applicable to activities in the ocean, including countering piracy\n               and armed robbery at sea,\n                     Recognizing the need to investigate and prosecute not only suspects captured at\n               sea, but also anyone who incites or intentionally facilitates piracy operations,\n               including key figures of criminal networks involved in piracy who plan, organize,\n               facilitate, or illicitly finance or profit from such attacks, and reiterating its concern\n               over persons suspected of piracy having been released without facing justice,\n               reaffirming that the failure to prosecute persons responsible for acts of piracy and\n               armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia undermines anti -piracy efforts,\n                     Noting with concern that the continuing limited capacity and domestic\n               legislation to facilitate the custody and prosecution of suspected pirates after their\n               capture has hindered more robust international action against pirates off the coast of\n               Somalia, which has led to pirates in many cases being released without facing justice,\n               regardless of whether there is sufficient evidence to support prosecution, and\n               reiterating that, consistent with the provisions of The Convention concerning the\n               repression of piracy, the 1988 Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts\n               Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation (“SUA Convention”) provides for parties\n               to create criminal offences, establish jurisdiction, and accept delivery of persons\n               responsible for, or suspected of seizing, or exercising control over, a ship by force or\n               threat thereof, or any other form of intimidation,\n                      Underlining the primary responsibility of the Somali authorities in the fight\n               against piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of So malia, noting the several\n               requests from Somali authorities for international assistance to counter piracy off its\n               coast, including the letter of 25 October 2018, from the Permanent Representative of\n               the Permanent Mission of Somalia to the United Nations expressing the appreciation\n               of Somali authorities to the Security Council for its assistance, expressing their\n               willingness to consider working with other States and regional organizations to\n               combat piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, as king member\n               states and international organizations to support the Federal Government of Somalia\n               in its efforts to address illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing in its Exclusive\n               Economic Zone, and requesting that the provisions of resolution 2383 (2017) be\n               renewed for an additional 12 months,\n                    Welcoming the participation of the Federal Government of Somalia and regional\n               partners in the 21st plenary session of the Contact Group on

       Recognizing the work of the CGPCS and the Law Enforcement Task Force to\n               facilitate the prosecution of suspected pirates, and the intentions of the Regional\n               Capacity Building Working Group to identify regional priorities and coo rdination of\n               capacity-building activities and regional responsibilities,\n                    Noting the progress made to enhance Somali capacity building through the\n               National Maritime Coordination Committee (NMCC) to assess maritime priorities\n               between the Federal Government of Somalia and Federal Member States,\n                     Welcoming the financing provided by the Trust Fund to Support Initiatives of\n               States Combating Piracy off the

       S/RES/2445 (2018)\n\n           implementation of these resolutions will only be dismantled through dedicated\n           commitment to women’s empowerment, participation, and human rights, and through\n           concerted leadership, consistent information and action, and support, to build\n           women’s engagement in all levels of decision-making, also recalling resolution 2242\n           and its aspiration to increase the number of women in military and police contingents\n           of United Nations peacekeeping operations,\n                 Expressing concern about the residual threat of landmines and explosive\n           remnants of war in the Abyei Area, which hinders the safe return of displaced persons\n           to their homes, safe migration, and livelihood activities,\n                Recognizing that the current situation in Abyei and along the border between\n           Sudan and South Sudan continues to constitute a threat to international peace and\n           security,\n                 1.

Resolution of the final status of Abyei to include steps towards\n                    considering the 2012 proposal made by AUHIP, noting, in particular the AU\n                    Peace and Security Council (AUPSC) Communiqués of 24 October 2012,\n                    26 October 2013 and 6 February 2018,\n                          2.    Implementation of all Abyei Joint Oversight Committee (AJOC)\n                    decisions, in accordance with the Agreement on Temporary Administrative and\n                    Security Arrangements for the Abyei Area of June 2011,\n                          3.   Steps the AU Commission has taken to submit to the AUPSC the\n                    findings and recommendations of the Abyei Area Joint Investigation and Inquiry\n                    Committee as requested by the AUPSC in its Communiqué of 31 July 2015, and\n                    steps taken to promote reconciliation and engagement of the Misseriya and\n                    Ngok Dinka communities;\n                     8.     Urges continued progress towards the establishment of the Abyei Area\n               interim institutions, in accordance with the Agreement on Temporary Administrative\n               and Security Arrangements for the Abyei Area of June 2011, takes note, in particular,\n               that in the absence of an Abyei Police Service, UNISFA continues to be the only entity\n               to provide policing services in response to matters of law and order, further takes note\n               of the mapping exercise from 30 November 2017 to 2 February 2018 by UN Police\n               in conjunction with UN Agencies, Funds and Programme s and traditional leaders of\n               both communities for the eventual establishment of an Abyei Police Service,\n               recognizes the appointment of relevant officials by the two governments to participate\n               in a joint integrated planning exercise and development of a roa d map towards\n               establishment of the Abyei Police Service, and urges the Governments of Sudan and\n               South Sudan to participate in such an exercise by 15 April 2019;\n                     9.   Encourages the AUHIP and the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General to\n               continue coordinating efforts to facilitate full implementation of the 2011 agreements,\n               and further encourages UNISFA to coordinate with the AUHIP and the Special Envoy\n               of the Secretary-General on reconciliation, community sensitization, and political\n               peace processes;\n                    10. Welcomes renewed efforts to determine conclusively the Safe Demilitarized\n               Border Zone (SDBZ) centreline on the ground, and reiterates that the centreline of\n               the SDBZ in no way prejudices the current or future legal status of the border, ongoing\n               negotiations on the disputed and claimed areas, and demarcation of the borders;\n                     11. Underscores that UNISFA’s protection of civilians mandate as set out in\n               paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011) includes taking the necessary actions to protect\n               civilians under imminent threat of physical violence, irrespective of the source of\n               such violence, and in that regard underlines that peacekeepers are authorized to use\n               all necessary means, which includes the use of force when required, in order to protect\n               civilians under threat of physical violence, in accordance with mission mandates, the\n               United Nations Charter and other applicable international law, and stresses the\n               importance of continued and further engagement by senior mi ssion leadership, with\n               a view to ensuring that all mission components and all levels of the chain of command\n               are properly informed of, trained for, and involved in the mission ’s protection of\n\n\n\n4/8                                                                                                       18-19491\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2445 (2018)\n\n           civilians mandate and their relevant responsibilities; and commending UNISFA’s\n           efforts in that regard;\n                  12. Condemns the intermittent presence of South Sudan security service\n           personnel and the deployment of Diffra Oil Police units in the Abyei Area, in violation\n           of the 20 June 2011 Agreement, as well as any entry of armed militias into the\n           territory, and reiterates its demands that immediately and without preconditions the\n           Government of South Sudan fully redeploy its security service personnel from the\n           Abyei Area and that the Government of Sudan redeploy the Oil Police in Diffra from\n           the Abyei Area, and further reiterates, in accordance with relevant resolutions, in\n           particular resolution 1990 (2011) and resolution 2046 (2012), that the Abyei Area\n           shall be demilitarized from any forces, as well as armed elements of the local\n           communities, other than UNISFA and the Abyei Police Service;\n                  13. Urges the two governments to take all necessary steps to ensure that Abyei\n           is effectively demilitarized, including through disarmament programmes as necessary;\n                 14. Reaffirms that UNISFA may undertake weapons confiscation and\n           destruction in the Abyei Area as authorized under resolution 1990 (2011), consistent\n           with its mandate and within its existing capabilities, in coordination with the\n           signatories of the June 2011 Agreement on the Temporary Arrangements for the\n           Administration and Security of the Abyei Area, the AJOC, and the Misser iya and\n           Ngok Dinka communities and consistent with the previous AJOC decision to establish\n           the Area as a “weapons free area”;\n                 15. Requests UNISFA to continue its dialogue with the AJOC and with the\n           Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities on effective strategies and oversight\n           mechanisms for ensuring full compliance by all relevant parties with Abyei ’s status\n           as a weapons-free area, and calls upon the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan,\n           the AJOC, and the Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities to extend full cooperation\n           to UNISFA in this regard;\n                 16. Welcomes UNISFA initiatives, to support community dialogue and efforts\n           by the Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities, such as peace committees, to\n           strengthen intercommunal relationships and facilitate stability and reconciliation in\n           the Abyei Area, and invites UNISFA to coordinate with the Juba-appointed\n           administration in Abyei and the Misseriya administration in Muglad, using\n           appropriate civilian expertise, to maintain stability, foster intercommunal\n           reconciliation, and facilitate the return of displaced persons to their village and the\n           delivery of services;\n                17. Urges the two Governments immediately to take steps to implement\n           confidence-building measures among the respective communities in the Abyei Area,\n           ensuring women are involved at all stages, including through reconciliation processes\n           at the grass-roots level as well as through support for the ongoing efforts of\n           non-governmental organizations engaging in peacebuilding, and by fully supporting\n           UNISFA’s efforts in promoting community dialogue;\n                 18. Underscores that women’s participation at all levels of intercommunity\n           dialogue is critical to ensure a credible, and legitimate process and calls upon all\n           parties to promote full and equal participation of women;\n                 19. Welcomes UNISFA’s continued efforts, within existing capabilities and\n           resources, and in close coordination with the Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities,\n           to strengthen the capacities of Community Protection Committees in order to assist\n           with management of law and order processes in Abyei, while ensuring the humane\n           and dignified treatment of suspects and other detainees, and to continue engagi ng\n           with both governments on this issue;\n\n\n18-19491                                                                                                       5/8\n\nS/RES/2445 (2018)\n\n                     20.

the international community to increase their assistance to Syria\n               by providing additional humanitarian aid, noting with concern that the international\n               response to the Syrian and regional crisis continues to fall short of meeting the needs\n               as assessed by host governments and the United Nations, therefore urging once again\n               all Member States, based on burden-sharing principles, to support the United Nations\n               and the countries of the region, including by adopting medium and long -term\n               responses to alleviate the impact on communities, providing increased, flexible and\n               predictable funding as well as increasing resettlement efforts and noting the second\n               conference

of human rights and violations of international humanitarian\n               law, stressing the need to end impunity for these violations and ab uses and\n               re-emphasising in this regard that those who have committed or are otherwise\n               responsible for such violations and abuses in Syria must be brought to justice,\n                     Emphasising that the humanitarian situation will continue to deteriorate further\n               in the absence of a political solution to the Syrian conflict in line with resolution 2254\n               (2015) and calling upon all parties to make progress in this regard and to undertake\n               confidence-building measures and recognising the efforts by the Office of the\n               UN Special Envoy and the international community, including within the Astana\n               framework, to advance the early release of any arbitrarily detained persons,\n               particularly women and children, and handover of the bodies as well as the\n               identification of missing persons,\n                    Determining that the devastating humanitarian situation in Syria continues to\n               constitute a threat to peace and security in the region,\n                     Underscoring that Member States are obligated under Article 25 of the Charter\n               of the United Nations to

two sides and their leaders to foster positive public rhetoric, and\n               encouraging them clearly to explain the benefits of the settlement, as well as the need\n               for increased flexibility and compromise in order to secure it, to both communities\n               well in advance of any referenda,\n                     Highlighting the importance, both political and financial, of the supporting role\n               of the international community, and in particular that of all parties c oncerned in taking\n               practical steps towards helping the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders to\n               renew their commitment to a settlement under United Nations auspices,\n                    Taking note of the assessment of the Secretary-General that the security situation\n               on the island and along the Green Line remains stable but expressing concern at the\n               sharp increase in the number of military violations of the status quo observed by\n               UNFICYP compared to the same reporting period last year and urging all sides to\n               avoid any action, including violations of the military status quo, which could lead to\n               an increase in tension, undermine the progress achieved so far, or damage the\n               goodwill on the island,\n                     Recalling the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the situation in the buffer zone\n               would be improved if both sides accept and actively assist UNFICYP in the\n               implementation of the aide-memoire in use by the United Nations, underscoring the\n               critical need for the sides and all involved parties to respect UNFICYP ’s mandated\n               authority in the buffer zone,\n                    Noting with regret that the sides are withholding access to the remaining\n               minefields in the buffer zone, and that demining in Cyprus must continue, noting the\n               continued danger posed by mines in Cyprus, noting also proposals and discussions as\n               well as positive initiatives on demining, and urging rapid agreement on facilitating\n               the recommencement of demining operations and clearance of the remaining\n               minefields,\n                     Commending the work of the Committee on Missing Persons, highlighting the\n               importance of intensifying its activities, and therefore the need to provide all\n               information required as expressed in the press release of the Committee on Missing\n               Persons on 28 July 2016 regarding review of archival materials, noting that the\n               remains of 1,075 missing persons, from a total of 2002, have not yet been positively\n               identified, urging the opening up of access to all areas expeditiously to allow the\n               Committee to carry out its work, and trusting that this process will promote\n               reconciliation between the communities,\n                     Agreeing that the active participation and leadership of women is essential to\n               the political process and can contribute to making any future settlement sustainable,\n               recalling that women play a critically important role in peace processes as recognised\n               in its resolution 1325 (2000), and related resolutions; recalling its resolution 2242\n\n\n2/6

in military and police\n           contingents of United Nations peacekeeping missions; and further recalling the\n           importance of the active participation of youth, consistent with its resolutions 2250\n           (2015) and 2419 (2018),\n                  Urging the sides to step up their efforts to promote intercommunal contacts,\n           reconciliation and the active engagement of civil society, including bi-communal\n           initiatives and development projects where the two communities can work together\n           and jointly benefit, and the encouragement of cooperation between economic and\n           commercial bodies and to remove all obstacles to such contacts, while also noting\n           various initiatives to bring together particular sectors or actors on both sides for\n           dialogue, including the Religious Track of the Cyprus Peace Process,\n                Stressing the need for the Council to pursue a rigorous, strategic approach to\n           peacekeeping deployments,\n                 Recalling its resolution 2378 (2017) which requests the Secretary-General to\n           ensure that data related to the effectiveness of peacekeeping operations, including\n           performance data, is used to improve analytics and evaluation of mission operations,\n           based on clear and well-identified benchmarks, and emphasising the need to regularly\n           review all peacekeeping operations including UNFICYP to ensure efficiency and\n           effectiveness,\n                Welcoming measures to date to strengthen the liaison and engagement capacity\n           of the mission, and stressing the need to implement fully the remaining\n           recommendations contained in the report of the 2017 Strategic Review of UNFICYP,\n                Noting the importance of transition planning in relation to the settlement,\n           including the need to consider adjustments as appropriate to the mandate of\n           UNFICYP, force levels and other resources and concept of operations, taking into\n           account developments on the ground and the views of the parties,\n                Noting with appreciation the efforts of the Secretary-General and Special\n           Representative Elizabeth Spehar, and welcoming the Secretary-General’s\n

their voluntary contributions to the funding of UNFICYP,\n           and his request for further voluntary contributions from other countries and\n           organizations, and expressing appreciation to Member States that contribute\n           personnel to UNFICYP,\n                Welcoming and encouraging efforts by the United Nations to sensitize\n           peacekeeping personnel in the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS and other\n           communicable diseases in all its peacekeeping operations,\n                 1.    Takes note of the progress of the leaders-led process since 11 February\n           2014 and the efforts of the leaders and their negotiators to reach a comprehensive and\n           durable settlement, expresses regret at the lack of progress towards a settlement since\n           the conclusion of the 2017 Conference on Cyprus and urges the sides and all involved\n           participants to seize the important opportunity presented by the consultations of UN\n           Consultant, Jane Holl Lute, on a way forward, by engaging actively and\n           constructively in those consultations, and urges them to agree terms of reference\n           which would constitute a consensus starting point for meaningful results -oriented\n           negotiations leading to a settlement within a foreseeable horizon, and to renew their\n           political will and commitment to a settlement under United Nations auspices;\n                2.   In this regard, calls upon the sides, specifically the leaders of the two\n           Cypriot communities, and all involved parties to actively and meaningfully engage\n           with openness and creativity, fully commit to a settleme nt process under UN auspices,\n\n19-01489                                                                                                       3/6\n\nS/RES/2453 (2019)\n\n               use the UN consultations to restart negotiations, and avoid any actions that might\n               damage the chances of success;\n                    3.   Takes note of the reports of the Secretary-General (S/2018/919 and\n               S/2019/37));\n                    4.

often complement efforts to\n               build a protective environment, particularly in the deterrence of sexual and gender -\n               based violence against civilians, and encouraging UNMISS, as appropriate and when\n               possible, to explore how it can use civilian protection techniques, including t hrough\n               community engagement and the mission communication strategy, to enhance its\n               ability to protect civilians, and to train UNMISS staff accordingly,\n                     Recognizing the dire humanitarian situation and high levels of food insecurity\n               in the country, and in this regard noting the importance of UNMISS’s contribution to\n               creating conditions conducive to the delivery of humanitarian assistance, and to\n               creating through coordination with humanitarian actors, displaced communities, and\n               authorities the conditions for the safe, informed, voluntary, and dignified return or\n               relocation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees, so that they may\n               resume their livelihoods including the cultivation

opposition groups, including severe restrictions on\n           freedom of movement, assault of UNMISS personnel, and constraints on mission\n           operations, many of which were reported by the Secretary-General as violations of\n           the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) by the GoSS, and recalling that, according to\n           the SOFA, UNMISS, as well as its contractors, shall enjoy full and unrestricted\n           freedom of movement without delay throughout South Sudan by the most direc t route\n           possible without the need for travel permits or prior authorization or

restrictions,\n                 Demanding that all parties, particularly the GoSS and the SPLA-IO, end all\n           obstructions to UNMISS, including inter alia obstructions that hamper UNMISS\n           carrying out its mandate to monitor and investigate human rights,\n                 Recalling its strong condemnation of all instances of attacks against civilians,\n           including those involving violence against women, children, and persons in\n           vulnerable situations, ethnically targeted violence, hate speech, and incitements to\n           violence, and further expressing deep concern at the possibility that what began as a\n           political conflict could continue to transform into an outright ethnic war, as noted by\n           the Special Advisor for the Prevention of Genocide Adama Dieng,\n                 Expressing grave concern at ongoing reports of sexual and gender-based\n           violence, particularly against women and girls, including the findings of the report of\n           the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict to the Security Council\n           (S/2018/250) of the use of sexual violence as a tactic by parties to the conflict against\n           the civilian population, in South Sudan, including use of rape and gang -rape of\n           women and girls, and abduction, forced marriage and sexual slavery, and where\n           persistent levels of conflict-related sexual violence and other forms of violence\n           against women and girls has become normalized and continued after the signing of\n           the Revitalised Agreement and despite the suspension of most military offensives, as\n           documented in the February 2019 UNMISS and Office of the United Nations High\n           Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) report on conflict-related sexual violence\n           in Northern Unity between September and December 2018, underlining the urgency\n           and importance of timely investigations and the provision of assistance and protection\n           to victims of sexual and gender-based violence,\n                 Strongly condemning all human rights violations

       violations, further condemning harassment, targeting, and censorship of civil society,\n           humanitarian personnel and journalists, emphasizing that those responsible for\n           violations of international humanitarian law and violations and abuses of human\n           rights must be held accountable, and that South Sudan’s government bears the\n           primary responsibility to protect its populations from genocide, war cr imes, ethnic\n           cleansing, and crimes against humanity, and expressing concern that despite the\n           signing of the Revitalised Agreement, violations including rape and sexual violence\n           continue to occur which may amount to international crimes, including war crime s\n           and crimes against humanity,\n\n\n\n19-04434                                                                                                        3/15\n\nS/RES/2459 (2019)\n\n                     Acknowledging the

calling for its full and immediate implementation, further\n               taking note of the role played by the GoSS in negotiating the release of children by\n               parties to conflict, urging all parties to make further efforts to end immediately the\n               recruitment of children to armed groups and to release all chi ldren that have been\n               recruited to date, and encouraging further efforts in this regard, in particular through\n               the GoSS’s endorsement of the Paris principles,\n                     Taking note of the UNMISS and OHCHR report on the Freedom of Expression\n               in South Sudan, and expressing ongoing concern on the severe restriction of freedoms\n               of opinion, expression, and association, and condemning the use of media to broadcast\n               hate speech and transmit messages instigating violence against a particular ethnic\n               group, a practice that has the potential to play a significant role in promoting mass\n               violence and exacerbating conflict, and calling on the GoSS to immediately condemn\n               and counter increasing hate speech and ethnic violence and to promote reconciliation\n               among its people, including through a process of justice and accountability,\n                    Expressing serious concern about the dire situation of persons with disabilities\n               in South Sudan, including abandonment, violence and lack of access to basic services,\n               and emphasizing the need to ensure that the particular needs of persons with\n               disabilities are addressed in the humanitarian response,\n                     Reiterating the urgent need to end impunity in South Sudan and to hold\n               accountable and bring to justice all those responsible for violations of international\n               humanitarian law and violations and abuses of human rights, and further stressing the\n               importance of accountability, reconciliation and healing in ending impunity and\n               ensuring a sustainable peace, as recognized by Chapter V in the

Commission of Inquiry on South Sudan and the Separate Opinion, expressing\n               grave concern that according to some reports, including the AU Commission of\n               Inquiry report on South Sudan, released on 27 October 2015, there were reas onable\n               grounds to believe that war crimes and crimes against humanity had been committed\n               and the reports of the Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan, released on\n               23 February 2018 and 20 February 2019 that war crimes and crimes against humanity\n               may have been committed, emphasizing its hope that these and other credible\n               reporting will be duly considered by any transitional justice and reconciliation\n               mechanisms for South Sudan including those established in the Revitalised\n               Agreement, stressing the importance of collection and preservation of evidence for\n               eventual use by the Hybrid Court for South

and 7.1 million in need of life -saving assistance, and that\n               2.2 million of the country’s children are out of school, stressing the responsibility\n               borne by all parties to the conflict for the immense suffering of the people of South\n               Sudan, including the destruction or damage to livelihoods and productive assets,\n               commending United

obstructions by all parties to civilians’ movement and to\n           humanitarian actors’ movement to reach civilians in need of assistance, expressing\n           concern at the imposition of taxes and fees which hamper the delivery of humanitarian\n           assistance across the country, and recalling the need for all parties to the conflict to\n           allow and facilitate, in accordance with relevant provisions of international law and\n           United Nations guiding principles of humanitarian assistance, including humanity,\n           impartiality, neutrality, and independence, the full, safe and unhindered access of\n           relief personnel, equipment and supplies and timely delivery of humanitarian\n           assistance, to all those in need, in particular to IDPs and refugees,\n                 Strongly condemning all attacks against humanitarian personnel and facilities\n           that resulted in the deaths of at least 112 personnel since December 2013, including\n           the attack on the Terrain compound on 11 July 2016 and attacks against medical\n           personnel and hospitals, noting with alarm the increasing trend of harassment and\n           intimidation of humanitarian personnel, and recalling that attacks against\n           humanitarian personnel and objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian\n           population may amount to violations of international humanitarian law,\n                 Expressing its deep appreciation for the actions taken by UNMISS peacekeepers\n           and Troop- and Police-Contributing Countries in implementing the UNMISS mandate\n           in a challenging environment, including in protecting civilians, including foreign\n           nationals, under threat of physical violence and to stabilize the security situation\n           within and beyond UNMISS sites, and stressing that any national caveat that\n           negatively affects the implementation of mandate effectiveness should not be\n           accepted by the Secretary-General, and further highlighting that lack of effective\n           command and control, refusal to obey orders, failure to respond to attacks on\n           civilians, inadequate equipment, and financial resources may adversely affect the\n           shared responsibility for effective mandate implementat ion,\n                 Welcoming the commitment of the Secretary-General to enforce strictly his zerotolerance policy on sexual exploitation and abuse, noting the various measures taken\n           by UNMISS and Troop- and Police-contributing countries to combat sexual\n           exploitation and abuse, but still expressing grave concern over allegations of sexual\n           exploitation and abuse reportedly committed by peacekeepers in South S udan,\n           stressing the urgent need for Troop- and Police-contributing countries and, as\n           appropriate, UNMISS, to promptly investigate those allegations in a credible and\n           transparent manner and for those responsible for such criminal offences or\n           misconduct to be held to account, and further stressing the need to prevent such\n           exploitation and abuse and to improve how these allegations are addressed in line\n           with resolution 2272 (2016),\n                 Recognizing the significant resource and capacity challenges UNMISS faces in\n           implementing its mandate, expressing appreciation for UNMISS’s ongoing efforts to\n           ensure the safety of IDPs seeking protection on its sites, while recognizing the\n           importance of finding sustainable solutions for IDPs in keeping with the Guiding\n           Principles on Internal Displacement, and underlining in this regard the need to

Reaffirming that terrorism in all forms and manifestations constitutes one of the\n               most serious threats to international peace and security and that any acts of terrorism\n               are criminal and unjustifiable regardless of their motivations, whenever, wherever and\n               by whomsoever committed,\n                     Stressing the primary responsibility of Member

become party to the international counter -\n               terrorism conventions and protocols as soon as possible, including the International\n               Convention for the Suppression of the

effective\n               counter-terrorism measures, and are an essential part of a successful counter-terrorism\n               effort, noting the importance of respect for the rule of law so as to effectively prevent\n               and combat terrorism, and noting that failure to comply with these and other\n               international obligations, including under the Charter of the United

impunity,\n                    Noting with grave concern that terrorists and terrorist groups raise funds through\n               a variety of means, which include but are not limited to abuse of

urpose of sexual\n               exploitation, drug trafficking and the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons,\n                     Further noting with grave concern that terrorists, including foreign terrorist\n               fighters, and terrorist groups may move and transfer funds, including th rough\n               financial institutions, abuse of legitimate businesses and non-profit organizations,\n               including as front businesses and organizations and cash-couriers, as well as through\n               the use of emerging payment methods, such as prepaid cards and mobile -payments or\n               virtual-assets,\n                     Expressing its concern that terrorists can benefit from transnational organized\n               crime as a source of financing or logistical support, recognizing that the nature and\n               scope of the linkages between terrorism and transnational organized cr ime vary by\n               context, and emphasizing the need to coordinate efforts at the local, national, regional,\n               sub regional and international levels to respond to this challenge, in accordance with\n               international law,\n                     Reiterating its concern at the continuing use by terrorists and their supporters\n               of information and communications technologies, in particular the Internet, to\n               facilitate terrorist acts, as well as their use to incite, recruit, fund, or plan terrorist\n               acts,\n                    Recognizing that innovations in financial technologies, products and services\n               may offer significant economic opportunities but also present a risk of being misused,\n               including for terrorist financing,\n                    Underscoring the central role of the United Nations, in particular its Security\n               Council, in the fight against terrorism and stressing the essential role of the Financial\n               Action Task Force (FATF) in setting global standards for preventing and combatting\n               money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing and its Global\n               Network of FATF-style regional bodies (FSRBs) and taking note with appreciation of\n               the “FATF Consolidated Strategy on Combating Terrorist Financing” and its\n               operational plan,\n                     Encouraging Member States to actively cooperate with FATF, including by\n               contributing to its monitoring of terrorist financing risks,\n                     Expressing its commitment to continue supporting efforts to deny terrorist\n               groups’ access to funding and financial services through the ongoing work of the\n               United Nations counter-terrorism bodies and the FATF and its FSRBs to improve\n               anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing frameworks worldwide,\n               particularly their implementation,\n                     Welcoming the adoption by its Counter-Terrorism Committee of the Addendum\n               to the Madrid Guiding Principles on Foreign Terrorist Fighters ( S/2018/1177), which\n               contains, inter alia, specific recommendations on countering the financing of\n               terrorism and stressing the importance of full and effective implementation of such\n               principles,\n                     Commending efforts undertaken at the national, regional and multilateral levels\n               to foster international cooperation to prevent and suppress the financing of terrorism,\n\n\n2/8                                                                                                          19-05232\n\n                                                                                                    S/RES/2462 (2019)\n\n                Noting with appreciation the holding of the

in 2019,\n                Reaffirming that sanctions are an important tool under the Charter of the United\n           Nations in the maintenance and restoration of international peace and security,\n           including in countering terrorism and terrorism financing,\n                 Noting with concern that many Member States have not effectively enacted and\n           enforced the prohibition described in paragraph 1 (d) of resolution 1373, and that the\n           provision of financial or other related services to terrorist organizations and\n           individual terrorists, even in the absence of a link to a specific terrorist act, furthers\n           their ability to engage in terrorist acts,\n                 Recognizing the significant need to build and strengthen capacities of Member\n           States, upon their request and with a view to supporting national ownership to more\n           effectively counter terrorism and terrorist financing and to make better use of existing\n           international instruments and mechanisms,\n                Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                 1.    Reaffirms its resolution 1373 (2001) and in particular its decisions that all\n           States shall prevent and suppress the financing of terrorist acts and refrain from\n           providing any form of support, active or passive, to entities or persons involved in\n           terrorist acts, including by suppressing recruitment of members of terrorist groups\n           and eliminating the supply of weapons to terrorists;\n                 2.    Emphasizes its decision in resolution 1373 that all Member States shall\n           criminalize the wilful provision or collection, by any means, directly or indirectly, o f\n           funds by their nationals or in their territories with the intention that the funds should\n           be used, or in the knowledge that they are to be used, in order to carry out terrorist\n           acts; and its decision in resolution 2178 that all Member States shall establ ish serious\n           criminal offenses regarding the travel, recruitment, and financing of foreign terrorist\n           fighters;\n                 3.    Highlights that the obligation regarding the prohibition in paragraph 1 (d)\n           of resolution 1373 applies to making funds, financial assets or e conomic resources or\n           financial or other related services available, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of\n           terrorist organizations or individual terrorists for any purpose, including but not\n           limited to recruitment, training, or travel, even in the abse nce of a link to a specific\n           terrorist act;\n                 4.    Strongly urges all States to implement the comprehensive international\n           standards embodied in the revised Forty FATF Recommendations on Combating\n           Money Laundering, and the Financing of Terrorism and Proliferat ion and its\n           interpretive notes;\n                 5.    Decides that all States shall, in a manner consistent with their obligations\n           under international law, including international humanitarian law, international\n           human rights law and international refugee law, ensure that th eir domestic laws and\n           regulations establish serious criminal offenses sufficient to provide the ability to\n           prosecute and to penalize in a manner duly reflecting the seriousness of the offense\n           the wilful provision or collection of funds, financial assets or economic resources or\n           financial or other related services, directly or indirectly, with the intention that the\n           funds should be used, or in the knowledge that they are to be used for the benefit of\n           terrorist organizations or individual terrorists for any p urpose, including but not\n           limited to recruitment, training, or travel, even in the absence of a link to a specific\n           terrorist act;\n\n\n\n19-05232                                                                                                          3/8\n\nS/RES/2462 (2019)\n\n                     6.     Demands that Member States ensure that all measures taken to counter\n               terrorism, including measures taken to counter the financing of terrorism as provided\n               for in this resolution, comply with their obligations under international law, including\n               international humanitarian law, international human rights law and international\n               refugee law;\n                     7.   Calls upon Member States to conduct financial investigations in terrorism\n               related cases and to seek ways to address the challenges in obtaining evidence to\n               secure terrorist financing convictions;\n                     8.     Further calls upon Member States to more effectively investigate and\n               prosecute cases of terrorist financing and to apply, as appropriate, effective,\n               proportionate, and dissuasive criminal sanctions to individuals and entities convicted\n               of terrorist financing activity;\n                      9.   Underscores the need to ensure all Member States are in full compliance\n               with the measures imposed by the Security Council in resolution 2368 (2017) and\n               recalls that the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team mandate includes\n               gathering information on instances of reported non-compliance with the sanctions\n               measures imposed in resolution 2368 (2017), including by collating information from\n               all relevant sources and that such reporting should be discussed in the Committee;\n                    10. Stresses the need for effective implementation of asset freezing\n               mechanisms pursuant to resolution 1373 (2001), including considering third party\n               requests from other States;\n                    11. Calls on States to consider making publicly available their national or\n               regional asset freezing lists pursuant to resolutions 1373 (2001), 1267 (1999), 1989\n               (2011) and 2253 (2015);\n                    12. Stresses the need for robust implementation of the measures outlined in\n               paragraph 1 of resolution 2368 (2017) and urges all States to participate actively in\n               implementing and updating the ISIL (Da’esh) & Al-Qaida Sanctions List and to\n               consider including, when submitting new listing requests, individuals and entities\n               involved in the financing of terrorism;\n                    13. Calls on States to invest resources in the implementation of sanctions\n               regimes pursuant to resolutions 1373 (2001), 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253\n               (2015), and in seizure of funds in the course of investigations;\n                     14. Urges all States to assess specifically their terrorist financing risk and to\n               identify economic sectors most vulnerable to terrorist financing, including but not\n               limited to non-financial services, such as, inter alia, the construction, commodities\n               and pharmaceutical sectors, in line with FATF standards and welcomes guidance\n               issued by the United Nations, including the “UNODC Guidance manual for Member\n               States on terrorist financing risk assessments” and the FATF in that regard;\n                     15. Urges Member States which have not yet done so to establish operationally\n               independent and autonomous financial intelligence units with a view to strengthening\n               their framework to prevent and counter the financing of terrorism, in line with FATF\n               standards;\n                     16. Calls upon Member States to reinforce the access to information and\n               terrorist financing analytical capacity of their financial intelligence units, including\n               by developing together with competent authorities dedicated risk indicators, and by\n               cooperating with the private sector concerning the evolution of the trends, source and\n               methods of terrorist financing;\n                    17.

Calls for continued national efforts to address the threat posed by the illicit\n           transfer, destabilizing accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons,\n           including inter alia through ensuring the safe and effective management, storage and\n           security of their stockpiles of weapons and ammunition, with the continued support\n           of MONUSCO, as appropriate and within existing resources;\n\n           MONUSCO’s mandate\n                 21.

Urges MONUSCO to work with the Office of the Special Envoy for the\n               Great Lakes to seek political solutions to stop the cross-border flows of armed\n               combatants, arms and conflict minerals that threaten pe ace and stability in the DRC,\n               by coordinating strategies and conducting information-sharing;\n                    28.

resolutions 1325 (2000), 1820 (2008), 1888 (2009), 1889 (2009), 1960 (2010), 2106\n               (2013), 2122 (2013), and 2242 (2015) on women, peace and security, and relevant\n               statements of its Presidents, and further emphasizing that persistent barriers to their\n               implementation will only be dismantled through dedicated commitment to women ’s\n               participation and protection and promotion of human rights, and consistent support to\n               building women’s engagement at all levels of decision-making,\n                     Recalling the commitments of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action\n               and reaffirming the obligations of State Parties to the Convention on the Elimination\n               of All Forms of

the obligations applicable to parties to armed conflict under\n               the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the Additional Protocols thereto of 1977,\n                    Noting General Recommendation 30 of the Committee on the Elimination of\n               Discrimination Against Women on Women in Conflict Prevention, Conflict and Post -\n               Conflict Situations,\n                    Bearing in mind the Purposes and Principles of the Charter of the United Nations\n               and the primary responsibility of the Security Council under the Charter for the\n               maintenance of international peace and security,\n                     Recognizing that States bear the primary responsibility to respect and ensure the\n               human rights of all persons within their territory and subject to their jurisdiction as\n               provided for by international law, and reaffirming that parties to armed conflict bear\n               the primary responsibility to ensure the protection of civilians,\n                    Affirming the primary role of Member States to implement fully the relevant\n               provisions of Security Council resolutions on women, peace and security, and the\n               important complementary role of United Nations entities and regional organizations,\n                    Taking note of the report of the Secretary-General of 29 March 2019\n               (S/2019/280), and remaining deeply concerned over the slow progress in addressing\n               and eliminating sexual violence in situations of armed conflict in particular against\n\n\n\n\n19-06720 (E)\n*1906720*\n\nS/RES/2467 (2019)\n\n               women and children, and noting as documented in the Secretary-General’s report that\n               sexual violence occurs during and after armed conflicts throughout the world,\n                     Recognizing the significance of the twenty-year anniversary of resolution 1325\n               (2000), the progress made as well as the opportunity and need for far greater\n               implementation of the women, peace and security agenda, remaining deeply\n               concerned by the frequent under-representation of women in many formal processes\n               and bodies related to the maintenance of international peace and security, the\n               relatively low number of women in senior positions in political, peace and security -\n               related national, regional and international institutions, the lack of adequate gender -\n               sensitive humanitarian responses and support for women’s leadership roles in these\n               settings, insufficient financing for women, peace and security, and the resulting\n               detrimental impact on the maintenance of international peace and security,\n                     Expressing deep concern at the full range of threats and human rights violations\n               and abuses experienced by women and girls in armed conflict and post -conflict\n               situations, and recognising that women and girls are particularly at risk and are often\n               specifically targeted and at an increased risk of violence in conflict and post-conflict\n               situations,\n                    Emphasizing that advancing gender equality and women’s political, social, and\n               economic empowerment is critical to the prevention of and response to sexual\n               violence in conflict and post-conflict situations, and that the safety and empowerment\n               of women and girls is important for their meaningful participation in peace processes,\n               preventing conflicts and rebuilding societies, and that therefore women ’s protection\n               and participation are inextricably linked and mutually-reinforcing as reflected by all\n               previous resolutions on women, peace and security,\n                     Recognizing that the disproportionate impact of sexual violence in armed\n               conflict and post-conflict situations on women and girls is exacerbated by\n               discrimination against women and girls and by the under-representation of women in\n               decision-making and leadership roles, the impact of discriminatory laws, the gender -\n               biased enforcement and application of existing laws, harmful social norms and\n               practices, structural inequalities, and discriminatory views on women or gender roles\n               in society, and lack of availability of services for survivors, and further affirming the\n               importance of promoting gender equality by addressing these and other root causes\n               of sexual violence against all women and girls as part of conflict prevention, conflict\n               resolution and peacebuilding,\n                     Recognizing that sexual violence in conflict occurs on a continuum of\n               interrelated and recurring forms of violence against women and girls, and recognizing\n               that conflict also exacerbates the frequency and brutality of other forms of gender -\n               based violence,\n                    Recognizing national ownership and responsibility in addressing the root causes\n               of sexual violence in armed conflict and post-conflict situations, and further\n               recognizing that the consistent and rigorous prosecution of sexual violence crimes is\n               central to deterrence and prevention, as is challenging the perceptions that sexual\n               violence in armed conflict is a cultural phenomenon or an inevitable conseque nce of\n               war or a lesser crime,\n                     Reiterating the need for civilian and military leaders, to demonstrate\n               commitment and political will to prevent sexual violence and enforce accountability,\n               and that inaction and impunity for sexual violence crimes in conflict and post-conflict\n               situation can send a message that the incidence of such crimes is tolerated,\n                    Recalling the responsibilities of States to end impunity and to prosecute those\n               responsible for crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes,\n               perpetrated against civilians and, in this regard, noting with concern that only very\n\n2/10                                                                                                       19-06720\n\n                                                                                                    S/RES/2467 (2019)\n\n           limited numbers of perpetrators of sexual violence have been brought to justice, while\n           recognizing that in conflict and in post-conflict situations national justice systems\n           may be significantly weakened,\n                 Noting United Nations commissions of inquiry and United Nations fact -finding\n           missions, as appropriate and where relevant, as mechanisms to verify and investigate\n           allegations of violations and abuses of international human r ights law and violations\n           of international humanitarian law, and in accordance with their respective mandates\n           to make recommendations to advance accountability and justice and protection for\n           survivors, and, in accordance with their respective mandates and within existing\n           resources, to partner with Funds and Agencies in the provision of specialised\n           multi-sectoral services,\n                 Recognizing the need for a survivor-centered approach in preventing and\n           responding to sexual violence in conflict and post-conflict situations, further\n           recognizing the need for survivors of sexual violence to receive non-discriminatory\n           access to services such as medical and psychosocial care to the fullest extent\n           practicable and need to be free from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading\n           treatment, and that violations of the obligations on the treatment of victims can\n           amount to serious violations of international law,\n                  Reiterating its deep regret that civilians continue to account for the vast majority\n           of casualties in situations of armed conflict and recalling with grave concern that the\n           illicit transfer, destabilizing accumulation and misuse of small arms and light\n           weapons fuel armed conflicts and have a wide range of negative human rights,\n           humanitarian, development and socioeconomic consequences, in particular on the\n           security of civilians in armed conflict, including the disproportionate impact on\n           violence perpetrated against women and girls and exacerbating sexual and gender -\n           based violence in conflict,\n                 Acknowledging the adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty and noting the provisions\n           in Article 7(4) of the Treaty that exporting States Parties shall take into account the\n           risk of covered conventional arms or items being used to commit or facilitate serious\n           acts of gender-based violence or serious acts of violence against women and children,\n                 Recognizing the link between sexual violence in conflict and post-conflict\n           situations and the illicit trade in natural resources, including so -called “conflictminerals” and further recognizing the need for private sector actors to ensure that\n           proceeds from materials acquired for their production processes do not fund armed\n           groups that perpetuate conflict and sexual violence in conflict and post -conflict\n           situations,\n                 Recalling the important contribution of civil society, including women leaders\n           and women’s organizations, to conflict prevention, resolution, and peacebuilding,\n           including preventing and responding to sexual violence in conflict, affirming the\n           importance of their sustained engagement and meaningful participation in all peace\n           processes and remaining deeply concerned about threats, attacks and restrictions on\n           the work of civil society organizations that inhibit their ability to contribute to\n           international peace and security,\n                Reaffirming its respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political\n           independence of all States in accordance with the Charter,\n                Welcoming the efforts of Member States, and recognizing the efforts of regional\n           and subregional organizations, in implementing resolution 1325 (2000) and\n           subsequent resolutions on Women, Peace and Security at the regional, national and\n           local levels, including the development of action plans and other planning\n           frameworks, with sufficient resources, and encouraging Member States to continue to\n\n\n19-06720                                                                                                         3/10\n\nS/RES/2467 (2019)\n\n               pursue such implementation, including through strengthened monitoring, evaluation\n               and coordination,\n                     1.     Reiterates its demand for the complete cessation with immediate effect by\n               all parties to armed conflict of all acts of sexual violence and its call for these parties\n               to make and implement specific time-bound commitments to combat sexual violence,\n               which should include, inter alia, issuance of clear orders through chains of command\n               and development of codes of conduct prohibiting sexual violence and establishment\n               of related enforcement procedures to ensure accountability for breaching these orders,\n               commitments by individual commanders, investigation of all credible allegations\n               including on the basis of information reported by relevant UN entities and\n               accountability for those responsible, unimpeded access for monitoring and provision\n               of services and humanitarian assistance in areas under their control;\n                     2.

Encourages the continued strengthening of efforts to monitor and\n           document sexual violence in armed conflict and post-conflict situations and, as an\n           integral part of these efforts, calls for a more systematic, reliable and rigorous\n           approach to gathering accurate, reliable timely and sex-disaggregated information on\n           sexual violence in conflict and post-conflict situations, in such a way that will not put\n           at risk survivors;\n                 10.

Requests UNISFA to continue its dialogue with the AJOC and with the\n           Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities on effective strategies and oversight\n           mechanisms for ensuring full compliance by all relevant parties with Abyei’s status\n           as a weapons-free area, and calls upon the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan,\n           the AJOC, and the Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities to extend full cooperation\n           to UNISFA in this regard;\n                 17.

forensic sciences, DNA analysis, satellite maps\n               and imagery, and ground penetrating radar,\n                     Emphasizing the importance of the principles of humanity, neutrality,\n               impartiality and independence in the provision of humanitarian assistance and\n               reaffirming also the need for actors engaged in the provision of such assistance in\n               situations of armed conflict to promote and fully respect these principles; and recalls,\n               in this regard, the statement of its President of 9 March 2000 ( S/PRST/2000/7),\n                     Reiterating strong support for the efforts of the international organizations, in\n               particular, International Committee of the Red Cross in addressing the issue of\n               missing persons, consistent with the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their\n               Additional Protocols of 1977, and appreciating the work of the national, regional and\n               international organizations and mechanisms in this field,\n                     Expressing its concern about the dramatic increase in persons reported missing\n               as a result of armed conflict, which entails consequences for the missing persons\n               themselves and for their families, especially women and children, and communities\n               in the immediate and long-term, and reaffirming in this regard the importance of\n               allowing families to know the fate and whereabouts of their missing relatives,\n               consistent with applicable international humanitarian law, which is of crucial\n               humanitarian importance,\n                     Recognizing that it is critical for States to address the issue holistically, from\n               prevention to tracing the location, identifying missing persons and returning human\n               remains to their families, without adverse distinction, that informed and early acti on\n               is crucial for addressing cases of missing persons in an effective and credible manner,\n               and that the manner in which these cases are addressed affects relations between\n               parties to armed conflict and efforts to resolve conflicts,\n                    Recognizing the importance of truth, justice and accountability in efforts\n               towards reconciliation and the peaceful settlement of conflicts, and the end of\n               impunity,\n                     Acknowledging that full and timely support for humanitarian components can\n               be critical in ensuring and enhancing the sustainability of any peace agreement and\n               post-conflict peacebuilding and emphasizes the importance of inclusion of\n\n2/4                                                                                                        19-09430\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/2474 (2019)\n\n           humanitarian elements in peace negotiations and agreements, including the issue of\n           prisoners of war, detainees and missing persons and others protected by international\n           humanitarian law,\n                 1.   Reaffirms its strong condemnation of the deliberate targeting of civilians\n           or other protected persons in situations of armed conflict, and calls upon all parties to\n           armed conflict to put an end to such practices, in accordance with their obligations\n           under international humanitarian law;\n                 2.    Calls upon parties to armed conflict to take all appropriate measures, to\n           actively search for persons reported missing, to enable the return of their remains,\n           and to account for persons reported missing without adverse distinction and to put in\n           place appropriate channels enabling response and communication with families on\n           the search process, and to consider the provision of information on available services\n           in relation to administrative, legal, economic and psychosocial difficulties and needs\n           they may face as a result of having a missing relative, including through an interaction\n           with competent national and international organizations and institutions;\n                 3.    Calls upon parties to armed conflict to take appropriate measures to\n           prevent persons from going missing as a result of armed conflict, through the\n           facilitation of the reunion of families dispersed as a result of armed conflict, and to\n           allow for the exchange of family news, consistent with their international obligations;\n                 4.

Urges parties to armed conflict to establish national information burea us\n           or other mechanisms, upon the outbreak of a conflict, to exchange information on\n           detainees and civilians belonging to an adverse party, to transmit such information to\n           that party, with the support of the Central Tracing Agency as a neutral intermediary,\n           where appropriate, and to open enquiries regarding these persons;\n\n19-09430                                                                                                         3/4\n\nS/RES/2474 (2019)\n\n                    10. Reiterates its support for the efforts of the ICRC in seeking access to\n               information on persons reported missing and calls on all parties to armed conflict to\n               comply with their commitments in respect to such access and to cooperate with the\n               ICRC and its Central Tracing Agency in addressing the issue of missing persons,\n               consistent with applicable obligations under international humanitarian law;\n                     11. Stresses the importance of strengthening the role and capacity of the\n               existing national, regional and international mechanisms that assist in addressing the\n               issue of missing persons as a result of armed conflict, to provide advice and support\n               to Member States, other national, international and regional organizations and\n               mechanisms in this field to provide training, to exchange, as appropriate, on\n               respective registries of missing persons cases, and to share best practices in close\n               cooperation with all relevant organisations;\n                    12. Urges all parties to armed conflict to allow safe and unimpeded access of\n               humanitarian personnel, including those engaged in the search for and identification\n               of missing persons or their remains as soon as circumstances permit;\n                    13.

Underscores that accountability for missing persons as a result of armed\n               conflict can be among the components of the design and implementation of peace\n               negotiations and agreements and peacebuilding processes, including with reference\n               to justice and rule of law mechanisms;\n                     15. Calls upon all parties to armed conflict, when negotiating and\n               implementing peace agreements, to include provisions to facilitate the search for\n               missing persons and to take all necessary steps to protect victims and witnesses\n               testifying on those reported missing in order to end impunity;\n                    16.

 configuration, and reinforcing that such information assists the Security Council with\n               evaluating, mandating, and reviewing UNDOF and with effective consultation with\n               troop-contributing countries,\n                     Underscoring the need for UNDOF to have at its disposal all necessary means\n               and resources to carry out its mandate safely and

appropriate, and recalling that the theft of United\n               Nations weapons and ammunition, vehicles and other assets, and the looting and\n               destruction of United Nations

statements on the situation in Mali,\n                      Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, unity and territorial\n               integrity of Mali, emphasizing that the Malian authorities have primary responsibility\n               for the provision of stability, security and protection of civilians throughout the\n               territory of Mali,\n                     Reaffirming the basic principles of peacekeeping, including consent of the\n               parties, impartiality and non-use of force, except in self-defence and defence of the\n               mandate, recognizing that the mandate of each peacekeeping mission is specific to\n               the need and situation of the country concerned, and recalling its Presidential\n               Statement of 14 May 2018 (S/PRST/2018/10),\n                     Expressing grave concern about the continued deterioration of the security and\n               humanitarian situation in Mali, including through the maintenance of a high level of\n               asymmetric attacks by terrorist groups in the North and the escalation of\n               intercommunal violence in the Centre, which have caused the loss of numerous\n               innocent lives as well as numerous internally displaced people, people in critical need\n               of assistance and children without access to education due to school closures, and\n               further expressing deep concern that the situation in Mali negatively impacts that of\n               neighbouring countries and of the Sahel region,\n                    Emphasizing that security and stability in Mali are inextricably linked to that of\n               the Sahel and West Africa, as well as to that of Libya and North Africa,\n                     Strongly condemning the continued attacks against civilians, representatives\n               from local, regional and State institutions, as well as national, international and UN\n               security forces, including the Malian Defence and Security Forces (MDSF), the G5\n               Sahel joint force (FC-G5S), the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated\n               Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), the French forces and the European\n               Union Training Mission in Mali (EUTM Mali),\n                    Underlining that lasting peace and security in the Sahel region will not be\n               achieved without a combination of political, security and development efforts\n               benefitting all regions of Mali, as well as the full, effective and inclusive\n               implementation of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali (“the\n\n\n\n19-11057 (E)\n*1911057*\n\nS/RES/2480 (2019)\n\n               Agreement”), which involves all Malian actors supportive of the peace process and\n               ensures full, effective and meaningful participation of women and youth,\n                     Recognizing that more progress was made during the past nine months than\n               during the first years after the signing of the Agreement, which we re characterized by\n               a slow pace of implementation, noting that a combination of some level of political\n               will and international pressure, including through the prospect of sanctions,\n               constituted an important factor in securing these positive results, and underlining that\n               MINUSMA, along with the other security presences mentioned in resolution 2423\n               (2018), significantly contributes to the implementation of the Agreement and to the\n               stabilization of Mali,\n                     Expressing a significant sense of impatience with parties over the persistent\n               delays in the full implementation of key provisions of the Agreement, regretting the\n               recent stagnation in the implementation process mentioned by the Independent\n               Observer in its April 2019 report, noting that protracted delays in implementation\n               contribute to a political and security vacuum jeopardizing the stability and\n               development of Mali as well as the viability of the Agreement, and stressing the need\n               for increased ownership and prioritization in the implementation of the Agreement,\n                     Underlining that engaging in hostilities in violation of the Agreement as well as\n               actions taken that obstruct, or that obstruct by prolonged delay, or that threaten the\n               implementation of the Agreement constitute a basis for sanctions designations\n               pursuant to resolution 2374 (2017), among other designation criteria,\n                    Underlining that stabilization of the situation in Central Mali requires the\n               implementation of a renewed and fully integrated strategy encompassing\n               simultaneous pursuit of progress on security, governance, development,\n               reconciliation, accountability, as well as protection and promotion of human rights,\n                     Stressing the importance of ensuring the success of the inclusive political\n               dialogue recently announced with the aim to build consensus on key political and\n               institutional reforms,\n                     Strongly condemning all violations and abuses of international human rights law\n               and violations of international humanitarian law, including those involving\n               extrajudicial and summary executions, arbitrary arrests and detentions and ill -\n               treatment of prisoners, sexual and gender-based violence, as well as killing, maiming,\n               recruitment and use of children, attacks against schools, hospitals and humanitarian\n               and medical personnel, and calling upon all parties to bring an end to such violations\n               and abuses and to comply with their obligations under applicable international law,\n                     Reiterating, in this regard, the importance of holding accountable all those\n               responsible for such acts and that some of such acts referred to in the paragraph above\n               may amount to crimes under the Rome Statute, and taking note that, acting upon the\n               referral of the transitional authorities of Mali dated 13 July 2012, the Prosecutor of\n               the International Criminal Court (ICC) opened on 16 January 2013 an investigation\n               into alleged crimes committed on the territory of Mali since January 2012,\n                     Emphasizing the need for adequate risk assessment and risk management\n               strategies, by the government of Mali and the United Nations, of ecological changes,\n               natural disasters, drought, desertification, land degradation, food insecurity, energy\n               access, climate change, among other factors, on the security and stability of Mali,\n                     Commending troop- and police- contributing countries of MINUSMA for their\n               contribution, paying tribute to the peacekeepers who risk, as well as lost, their lives\n               in this respect,\n\n\n\n\n2/15                                                                                                      19-11057\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/2480 (2019)\n\n                Further commending MINUSMA’s efforts to adopt a more robust posture over\n           the past months as well as the intensification of the frequency and scale of its\n           operations,\n                 Recognizing that, in light of the specific and challenging environment in which\n           it is deployed, MINUSMA interacts with other security presences which have the\n           potential to be mutually beneficial instruments to restore peace and stability in Mali\n           and the Sahel region,\n                Taking note of the report of the Secretary-General (S/2019/454),\n                 Determining that the situation in Mali continues to constitute a threat to\n           international peace and security,\n                Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n\n           Implementation of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali\n                 1.    Urges the Government of Mali and the Plateforme and Coordination\n           armed groups (“the Malian parties”) to continue to accelerate the implementation of\n           the Agreement, through significant, meaningful and irreversible measures to be taken\n           on an urgent basis, and further urges Malian parties to sign without delay a revised\n           roadmap with a clear, realistic and binding timeline focused on a limited number of\n           priorities related to the main pillars of the Agreement;\n                 2.

and associated groups, illeg al\n               armed groups and criminals, and encouraging Member States to prevent and disrupt\n               procurement networks for such weapons, systems and components between ISIL (also\n               known as Da’esh), Al-Qaida and associated individuals, groups, undertakings and\n               entities,\n                     Emphasizing that the

regions, and may contribute to undermining affected\n               States, specifically their security, stability, governance, social and economic\n               development, and noting that organized criminal groups and terrorists benefiting fro m\n               organized crime, whether domestic or transnational, can, in some cases and in some\n               regions, complicate conflict prevention and resolution efforts,\n                    Seriously concerned by instances of terrorist groups, including those benefiting\n               from organized crime, conducting attacks including those on United Nations\n               personnel,\n                     Reaffirming its commitment to sovereignty, territorial integrity and political\n               independence of all States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, and\n               stressing that Member States have the primary responsibility in countering terrorist\n               acts and violent extremism conducive to terrorism,\n                     Reaffirming that Member States must ensure that any measures taken to counter\n               terrorism must comply with all their obligations under international law, in particular\n               international human rights law, international refugee law and international\n               humanitarian law, underscores that respect for human rights, fundamental freedoms\n               and the rule of law are complementary and mutually reinforcing with effective\n               counter-terrorism measures and are an essential part of a successful counter-terroris m\n               effort, and notes the importance of respect for the rule of law so as to effectively\n               prevent and combat terrorism, and further notes that failure to comply with these and\n               other international obligations, including under the Charter of the United Nations, is\n               one of the factors contributing to increased radicalization to violence and fosters a\n               sense of impunity,\n                     Underscoring the need of Member States to strengthen, where appropriate, their\n               criminal justice, law enforcement and border-control capacities, and to develop their\n               capacity to investigate, prosecute, disrupt, and dismantle trafficking networks to\n               address the linkages between terrorism and organized crime, whether domestic or\n               transnational,\n                     Recalling its urge to Member States to

            Encouraging Member States to collect relevant information and to further\n               identify, analyze and counter any existing, growing or potential links, in some cases,\n

systems should be a fundamental basis of any strategy to counter terrorism and\n           organized crime, whether domestic or transnational,\n                 Noting the important contribution that public-private partnerships can make in\n           efforts to prevent and combat terrorism, corruption and organized crime, whether\n           domestic or transnational,\n                 Acknowledging that prisons can serve as potential incubators for radicalizat io n\n           to terrorism and terrorist recruitment, and that proper assessment and monitoring of\n           persons convicted of terrorist offences is critical to mitigate opportunities for\n           terrorists to attract new recruits, recognizing that prisons can also serve to rehabilitat e\n           and reintegrate prisoners, where appropriate, and also recognizing that Member States\n           may need to continue to engage with offenders after release from prison to avoid\n           recidivism, in accordance with relevant international law and taking into\n           consideration, where appropriate, the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for\n           the Treatment of Prisoners, or “Nelson Mandela Rules ”,\n                 Recalling the importance for Counter-Terrorism Executive Directorate (CTED)\n           to include in CTED’s country assessments, as appropriate, information regarding\n           Member States efforts to address the issue of trafficking in persons and its link with\n           sexual violence in conflict and post-conflict situations committed by terrorist groups\n           as part of their strategic objectives and ideology, and used as a tactic by certain parties\n           to armed conflict, including non-state armed groups designated as terrorist groups,\n                 Recalling the Madrid Guiding Principles on Foreign Terrorist Fighters, including\n           the recently adopted Addendum, (S/2018/1177), and stressing the importance of full\n           and effective implementation of such principles,\n                 Noting recent developments and initiatives at the international, regional and\n           subregional levels to prevent and suppress international terrorism and organized\n           crime, whether domestic or transnational, including the essential role of the Financial\n           Action Task Force (FATF) and its Global Network of FATF-style regional bodies, as\n           well as the work of the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF), in particular the\n           adoption of The Hague Good Practices on the Nexus between Transnational\n           Organized Crime and Terrorism,\n                 1.    Calls upon Member States to enhance coordination of efforts at all levels\n           in order to strengthen a global response to linkages between international terroris m\n           and organized crime, whether domestic or transnational, which constitute a serious\n           challenge and a threat to international security;\n                  2.    Calls upon Member States to continue to conduct research and collect\n           information to enhance knowledge of and better understand the nature and scope of\n           the linkages that may exist between terrorism and organized crime, whether domestic\n           or transnational, to intensify and accelerate the timely exchange of relevant\n           operational information and financial intelligence regarding actions, movements and\n           patterns of movements of terrorists or terrorist networks, including foreign terrorist\n           fighters, in accordance with domestic and international law;\n                3.    Further stresses the importance of good governance and the need to fight\n           against corruption, money-laundering and terrorist financing, in particular through\n           the implementation of the United Nations Convention against Transnational\n           Organized Crime (2000), the United Nations Convention against Corruption (2003),\n\n19-12422                                                                                                           3/7\n\nS/RES/2482 (2019)\n\n               the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism (1999)\n               and the comprehensive international standards set forth in the FATF revised Forty\n               Recommendations on Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terroris m\n               and Proliferation, including by adopting and effectively implementing leg islative and\n               regulatory measures, to enable the competent domestic authorities to freeze or seize,\n               confiscate and manage criminal assets, in order to combat illicit finance including\n               terrorist financing and money-laundering;\n                     4.    Calls upon Member States to strengthen their efforts as well as\n               international and regional cooperation to counter the threat to the international\n               community posed by the illicit cultivation, production, trafficking, and consumption\n               of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, which can significantly contribute to\n               the financial resources of terrorist groups, and to act in accordance with the principle\n               of common and shared responsibility in addressing and countering the world drug\n               problem, including through cooperation against the trafficking in illicit drugs and\n               precursor chemicals, also underlining the importance of border managemen t\n               cooperation, and welcomes in this context the continued efforts of the UNODC;\n                      5.    Notes with concern that drug traffickers continue to exploit tools of\n               modern commerce to traffic in precursors, pre-precursor chemicals and synthetic\n               drugs, thereby contributing to the increased misuse of these drugs and the adverse\n               consequences of their non-medical use, exploiting, for example, online markets for\n               the illicit sale of such synthetic drugs, in particular synthetic opioids, in addition to\n               exploiting the international mail system and express consignment carrier shipments\n               to distribute such substances;\n                     6.

concerning the\n               situation in Abyei and along the border between Sudan and South Sudan and\n               underlining the importance of full compliance with and implementation of

principles\n               of the Charter of the United Nations, and recalling the importance of the principles of\n               good neighbourliness, non-interference and regional cooperation,\n                     Reiterating that the territorial boundaries of States shall not be altered by force,\n               and that any territorial disputes shall be settled exclusively by peaceful

   underscoring that the future status of Abyei shall be resolved by negotiations between\n               the parties in a manner consistent with the CPA and not by the unilateral actions of\n

critical for\n               peace, security and stability and the future relations between them, encouraging\n               progress on improving bilateral relations and holding regular meetings of

Commending the continued assistance provided to the parties by the African\n               Union (AU), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the Federal\n               Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, the Special Envoy of the Secretary -General for the\n               Horn of Africa, and the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA),\n                    Acknowledging that over the course of the eight years since establishment of\n               UNISFA the mission has contributed towards the stabilization and demilitarization of\n               the Abyei Area and together with the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring\n               Mechanism (JBVMM) played a stabilizing role along the borders between South\n               Sudan and Sudan, and taking note of the need to reconfigure the mission to create the\n               space for a viable political process that would also serve as an exit strategy,\n\n\n\n\n19-19744 (E)\n*1919744*\n\nS/RES/2497 (2019)\n\n                    Underlining that over the course of eight years the Government of Sudan and\n               the Government of South Sudan have not made meaningful progress on the political\n               process including failure to establish joint institutions in Abyei,\n                    Expressing concern that the delayed full deployment of UN police to the level\n               authorized by the Council prevents UNISFA from fulfilling its security mandate and\n               holds the potential to create a security vacuum in Abyei, and further expressing\n               concern about Sudan and South Sudan’s efforts to impede UNISFA from fully\n               executing its mandate, including by withholding visas for police, blocking\n               appointment of a civilian Deputy Head of Mission and denying access to Athony\n               airport, which would ease UNISFA’s logistical challenges, reduce transport costs, and\n               enhance safety and security for UNISFA personnel,\n                     Commending the efforts of UNISFA, notwithstanding the impediments referred\n               to in the previous paragraph, in its attempts to carry out its mandate effectively,\n               including by its ongoing facilitation of peaceful migration throughout the Abyei Ar ea,\n               conflict prevention, mediation and deterrence, and strongly underscoring the\n               unacceptability of any attack on United Nations personnel, and reiterating that such\n               attacks, which may constitute a war crime, should be swiftly and thoroughly\n               investigated, and that those responsible should be held to account,\n                    Recalling that the Secretary-General’s October 2019 Report on the situation in\n               Abyei (S/2019/817) highlights the need for a UNISFA civilian Deputy Head of\n               Mission,\n                     Bearing in mind that people in the Abyei Area continue to rely on humanitarian\n               assistance, recalling that floods in October 2019 displaced approximately 40,000\n               people, that access for humanitarian organizations to reach people in need remains of\n               crucial importance, and that humanitarian actors continue to provide assistance to\n               182,000 people in the Abyei Area,\n                     Recalling resolutions 1325 (2000) and subsequent resolutions on women, peace,\n               and security and emphasizing that persistent barriers to full implementation of these\n               resolutions will only be dismantled through dedicated commitment to women ’s\n               empowerment, participation, and human rights, and through concerted leadership,\n               consistent information and action, and support,\n                    Recognizing that the current situation in Abyei and along the border between\n               Sudan and South Sudan continues to constitute a threat to international peace and\n               security,\n                     1.    Decides to extend until 15 May 2020 the mandate of UNISFA as set out in\n               paragraph 2 of resolution 1990 (2011) and acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of\n               the United Nations, further decides to extend until 15 May 2020 the tasks of UNISFA\n               as set out in paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011);\n                     2.   Decides to extend until 15 May 2020 UNISFA’s mandate modification set\n               forth in resolution 2024 (2011) and paragraph 1 of resolution 2075 (2012), which\n               provides for UNISFA’s support to the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring\n               Mechanism (JBVMM), and further decides that this shall be the final such extension\n               unless the parties take the specific measures described in paragraph 3;\n                    3.

Maintains the authorized police ceiling at 640 police personnel, including\n           148 individual police officers and three formed police units, requests the United\n           Nations to take necessary steps to deploy additional police sequentially in order to\n           meet the authorized police ceiling of 640, and expresses its intention to reduce the\n           authorized police ceiling as the Abyei Police Service is gradually established and\n           providing effective law enforcement throughout the Abyei area;\n                 6.   Requests the Secretary-General to appoint a civilian Deputy Head of\n           Mission for UNISFA and add additional civilian staff within existing resources to\n           further facilitate liaison between and engagement with the parties in a manner\n           consistent with the Agreement on Temporary Arrangements for the Administration\n           and Security of the Abyei Area of June 2011, including agreement to establish the\n           Abyei Police Service;\n                 7.

with international law, with respect to offshore natural resources,\n               including fisheries,\n                      Noting that joint counter-piracy efforts have resulted in a steady decline in pirate\n               attacks as well as in hijackings since 2011, with no successful ship hijackings for\n               ransom reported off the coast of Somalia since March 2017 however, recognizing the\n               ongoing threat that resurgent piracy and armed robbery at sea poses, noting the letter\n               of 22 November 2019 from the Permanent Representative of the Permanent Mission\n               of Somalia to the United Nations requesting international assistance to counter piracy\n               off its coast, and recalling reports of the Secretary General and communiqués of the\n               Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia (CGPCS), which continue to\n               illustrate that piracy off the coast of Somalia has been repressed

Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 (“The Convention”), sets out\n               the legal framework within which all activities in the oceans and seas must be carried\n               out, including countering piracy and armed robbery at sea,\n                     Recognizing the need and commending the efforts of States, including in\n               particular States in the

attacks, and reiterating\n               its concern over persons suspected of piracy having been released without facing\n               justice, or released prematurely, reaffirming that the failure to prosecute persons\n               responsible for acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia\n               undermines anti-piracy efforts,\n                     Welcoming the work of the CGPCS and the Law Enforcement Task Force\n               (LETF) to facilitate the prosecution of suspected pirates and facilitators, and\n               international efforts to coordinate the work of investigators and prosecutors, inter alia,\n               through the LETF and collect and share information to disrupt the pirate enterprise,\n               as exemplified by

(IORA), and the operationalization of\n               the Regional Maritime Information Fusion Center (RMIFC) in Madagascar and\n               emphasizing the need for States and international

recognizing the need for all engaged\n               international and regional organizations to coordinate and cooperate fully,\n                     Commending the efforts of the European Union

through th e waters off\n               the coast of Somalia, and welcoming the Shared Awareness and Deconfliction\n               Initiative (SHADE), and the efforts of individual countries,

International Convention against the\n           Taking of Hostages, and expressing serious concern at the inhumane conditions\n           hostages face in captivity, calling for the immediate release of all remaining hostages,\n           and noting the importance of cooperation between Member States on the issue of\n           hostage-taking and the prosecution of suspected pirates for taking hostages,\n                 Welcoming the readiness of the Federal Government of Somalia and Feder al\n           Member States to cooperate with each other and with States who have prosecuted\n           suspected pirates with a view to enabling convicted pirates to be repatriated back to\n           Somalia under suitable prisoner transfer arrangements, consistent with applicable\n           international law, including international human rights law, to serve the full terms of\n           their sentences, but expresses serious concern regarding the premature release by\n

international human rights law,\n                 Expressing serious concern over reports of illegal, unreported and unregulated\n           fishing (IUU) in Somalia’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), recognizing that IUU\n           fishing can contribute to destabilization among coastal communi ties, and noting the\n           complex relationship between IUU fishing and piracy, welcoming Somalia’s\n           accession to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) ’s Agreement on Port State\n           Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated\n           Fishing, and the ongoing efforts of the Federal Government of Somalia towards the\n           development of a legal regime for the distribution and enforcement of fishing licences\n                 Remaining concerned that three Iranian seafarers from the FV Siraj remain as\n           hostages inside Somalia in appalling conditions, and welcoming the work of\n           International Seafarers Welfare and Assistance Network (ISWAN), the Maritime\n           Piracy Humanitarian Response Programme (MPHRP), and the CGPCS Piracy\n           Survivors Family Fund (PSFF) in providing support to victims of piracy and their\n           families, and recognizing the need to continue supporting these initiatives and\n           contributions to funds,\n                 Emphasizing that peace and stability within Somalia, the strengthening of State\n           institutions, economic and social development, and respect for human rights and the\n           rule of law are necessary to create the conditions for a durable eradication of piracy\n           and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and further emphasizing that\n           Somalia’s long-term security rests with the effective development by Somali\n           authorities of the Somali Coast Guard and Maritime Police Units, Somali National\n           Army, and Somali Police Force,\n                 Determining that the incidents of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast\n           of Somalia, as well as the activity of pirate groups in Somalia, are an important factor\n           exacerbating the situation in Somalia, which continues to constitute a threat to\n           international peace and security in the region,\n                Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                1.    Reiterates that it condemns and deplores all acts of piracy and armed\n           robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia;\n\n\n19-20888                                                                                                        3/7\n\nS/RES/2500 (2019)\n\n                     2.     While noting improvements in Somalia, recognizes that piracy exacerbates\n               instability in Somalia by introducing large amounts of illicit cas h that fuels additional\n               crime, corruption, and terrorism;\n                     3.   Stresses the need for a comprehensive response to prevent and suppress\n               piracy and tackle its underlying causes by the international community in\n               collaboration with Somali authorities and other r elevant actors, and encourages\n               Member States to continue to cooperate with Somali authorities in the fight against\n               piracy and armed robbery at sea, without impeding the exercise of high seas freedoms\n               or other navigational rights and freedoms by ships of an y State, consistent with\n               international law, as reflected in UNCLOS;\n                    4.     Underlines the primary responsibility of the Somali authorities in the fight\n               against piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, welcomes the recent\n               launch of the Department of Somali Maritime Administration, and encourages the\n               FGS to hold a National Maritime Coordination Committee (NMCC) meeting;\n                     5.

sexual and gender -\n           based violence against civilians, and encouraging UNMISS, as appropriate and\n           when possible, to explore how it can use civilian protection techniques, including\n           through community engagement, and the mission communication strategy, to\n           enhance its ability to protect civilians, and to train UN MISS staff accordingly,\n

Government of South Sudan (GoSS) and opposition groups, including s evere\n           restrictions on freedom of movement, assault of UNMISS personnel, and constraints\n           on mission operations, including restrictions on patrols and UNMISS efforts to,\n           inter alia, monitor human rights conditions, many of which were reported by the\n           Secretary-General as violations of the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) by the\n           GoSS, and recalling that, according to the SOFA, UNMISS, as well as its\n           contractors, shall enjoy full and

against the civilian populatio n in South\n           Sudan, including use of rape and gang-rape of women and girls, and abduction,\n           forced marriage and sexual slavery, and where persistent levels of conflict -related\n           sexual violence and other forms of violence against women and girls has become\n           normalized and continued after the signing of the Revitalised Agreement and despite\n           the suspension of most military offensives, as documented in the February 2019\n           UNMISS and Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human

protect its populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic\n               cleansing, and crimes against humanity, and expressing concern that despite the\n               signing of the Revitalised Agreement, violations including rape and sexual violence\n               continue to occur which may amount to international crimes, including war crimes\n               and crimes against humanity,\n                     Reiterating the urgent need to end impunity in South Sudan and to bring to\n               justice all those responsible for violations of international humanitarian law and\n               violations and abuses of human rights, stressing the importance of transitional\n               justice measures, including those in the Revitalised Agreement, to end impunity,\n               facilitate national reconciliation and healing, and ensure a sustainable peace, as\n               recognized by Chapter V in the Revitalised Agreement, and in this regard,\n               supporting

regarding the reports on the human rights situation\n               in South Sudan issued by UNMISS and the Secretary-General, further expressing\n               grave concern that according to the AU

2018, 20 February 2019, and 20\n               February 2020 war crimes and crimes against humanity may have been committed,\n               emphasizing its hope that these and other credible reports will be duly considered by\n               any transitional justice mechanisms for South Sudan including those established\n               pursuant to the Revitalised Agreement, stressing the importance of collection and\n               preservation of evidence for eventual use by the Hybrid Court for South Sudan and\n               other accountability mechanisms, and encouraging efforts in this regard,\n                     Acknowledging the significance of the GoSS’s ratification of the Optional\n               Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Involvement

to the February 2020 Report of the Commission on Human Rights, urging\n               all parties to make further efforts to end immediately the recruitment o f children and\n               to release

Condemning the obstructions by all parties to civilians’ movement and to\n           humanitarian actors’ movement to reach civilians in need of assistance, expressing\n           concern at the imposition of taxes and fees which hamper the delivery of\n           humanitarian assistance across the country, noting with concern reports that forced\n           displacement and denial of

      intimidation of humanitarian personnel, and recalling that attacks against\n           humanitarian personnel and objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian\n           population may

Countries in implementing the\n           UNMISS mandate in a challenging environment, including in protecting civilians,\n           including foreign nationals, under threat of physical violence and to stabilize the\n           security situation within and beyond UNMISS sites, stressing that any national\n           caveat that negatively affects the implementation of mandate effectiveness should\n           not be accepted by the Secretary-General, and highlighting that lack of effective\n           command and control, refusal to obey orders, failure to respond to attacks on\n           civilians, declining to participate in or undertake long-range patrols in rural parts of\n           the country, inadequate equipment, and financial resources may adversely affect the\n           shared responsibility for effective mandate implementation,\n                 Welcoming the commitment of the Secretary-General to enforce strictly his\n           zero-tolerance policy on sexual

    exploitation and abuse reportedly committed by peacekeepers in South Sudan,\n               stressing the urgent need for troop- and police-contributing countries and, as\n               appropriate, UNMISS, to promptly investigate those allegations in a credible and\n               transparent manner and for those responsible for such criminal offences or\n               misconduct to be held to account, and further stressing the need to prevent such\n               exploitation and abuse and to improve how these allegations are addressed in line\n               with resolution

Guiding\n               Principles on Internal Displacement, and underlining in this regard the need to\n               extend its presence, including through proactive deplo yment and patrolling, to areas\n               of displacement, and areas of potential and actual return, and emphasizing the\n               importance of flexibility in UNMISS’s posture within and outside POC sites and\n               that decisions on posture and deployment remain linked to threat an alysis,\n                     Emphasizing that persistent barriers to full implementation of resolution 1325\n               (2000), and subsequent resolutions on women, peace, and security including 2242\n               (2015), will only be dismantled through dedicated commitment to women ’s\n               empowerment,

hostile environments,\n                     Recalling the report on “Improving Security of United Nations Peacekeepers”,\n               the related Action Plan on improving safety and security, stressing that deficiencies\n               in training, equipment, capacity, leadership at all levels, performance and\n               accountability, and medical capacity in the missions can increase risks to the safety\n               and security of peacekeepers, including leading to increased risk of fatalities,\n                     Recalling its resolution 2436 (2018), underscoring the link between\n               performance and safety and security of uniformed and civilian peacekeeping\n               personnel, and recognizing that institutionalizing a culture of performance in United\n               Nations peacekeeping will contribute to better delivery of peacekeeping mandates, as\n               well as lead to improvements in the safety and security of

effects of environmental deterioration may,\n               in the long run, aggravate certain existing threats to the stability of some host states\n               which are particularly vulnerable to these adverse effects and which may influence\n               the safety and security of peacekeepers, while respecting the respective mandates of\n               all United Nations bodies in this regard,\n                     Recognizing the critical role of United Nations peacekeepers in the promotion\n               and maintenance of international peace and security in accordance with the

           1.    Stresses the importance of supporting United Nations peacekeeping\n               operations, recognizes the crucial role peacekeeping plays in achieving conditions for\n               stability and a lasting peace, and emphasizes the importance of enhancing the safety\n               and security of peacekeepers;\n                    2.    Requests the host states to fulfil their obligations to facilitate access and\n               freedom of movement for United Nations peacekeepers and their equipment\n               consistent with the mandate, including for casualty and medical evacuation, and\n               requests the Secretariat to instruct all peacekeeping missions to systematically\n               document violations of status-of-forces agreements and that Mission leadership\n\n2/4                                                                                                       20-04817\n\n                                                                                                S/RES/2518 (2020)\n\n           should use this information to monitor and resolve risks to the safety and security of\n           peacekeepers as necessary;\n                3.    Calls on all Member States hosting peacekeeping operations to promptly\n           investigate and effectively prosecute those responsible for attacks on United Nations\n           personnel, and to keep the relevant Troop-and Police-Contributing Countries\n           informed of the progress of such investigations and prosecutions;\n                 4.    Notes that peacekeepers are deployed in deteriorating and complex\n           political and security environments, and face asymmetrical and complex threats,\n           underscores the importance of ensuring that peacekeeping missions evolve their\n           capacities and systems to remain agile and effective in implementing their mandates\n           in specific operating contexts to enhance safety and security of peacekeepers and\n           mission protection, including through the provision of adequate medical facilities and\n           critical capabilities;\n                 5.   Requests the Secretary-General to continue to take all appropriate\n           measures to enhance the safety and security of peacekeeping personnel, including by\n           strengthening, where necessary, peacekeeping missions’ situational awareness\n           through measures to improve their information acquisition and analysis capacities,\n           including surveillance and monitoring capacities, within the limits of their mandate\n           and area of operation;\n                6.    Calls upon Member States and the United Nations to ensure safe, enabling\n           and gender-sensitive working environments for women in peacekeeping operations\n           and to address threats and violence against them;\n                7.    Reaffirms its determination to take effective steps to further enhance the\n           partnership between the United Nations and regional as well as sub-regional\n           organizations in relation to safety and security of peacekeepers. Encourages\n           partnerships to support the African Union’s efforts to continue to develop policy,\n           guidance and training to ensure the safety and security of its peacekeepers;\n                8.   Requests United Nations peacekeeping operations to enhance\n           engagements and communications with the host governments, the local authorities\n           and the population to build trust and mutual understanding and improve safety and\n           security;\n                 9.    Calls for measures to enhance operational health support, including to\n           establish well-defined and practical medical standards for peacekeeping operations,\n           accelerate the ongoing efforts to improve the system of medical support and casualty\n           evacuation for injured peacekeepers, ensure adequate medical facilities and qualif ied\n           personnel are deployed to provide the essential 10-1-2 response at all times, within\n           the mission area and as close to deployment of Troop-and Police-Contributing\n           Countries as possible through the life of the mission;\n                 10.

Welcomes the arrest in France on 16 May 2020 of Félicien Kabuga,\n               indicted for genocide and crimes against humanity allegedly committed in Rwanda in\n               1994, commends the cooperation between the Mechanism, in particular the Office of\n               the Prosecutor, and law enforcement and judicial authorities in France, as well as\n               Rwanda, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands,\n               Luxembourg, the United States, Switzerland and others, together with EUROPOL and\n               INTERPOL, which contributed to locating and to the arrest of the fugitive, and\n               recognises this is an important step of cooperation with the Mechanism, in accordance\n               with paragraph 4 of resolution 2422 (2018), to bring to justice persons indicted by the\n               ICTR;\n                     6.    Emphasises that, in view of the substantially reduced nature of the residual\n               functions, the Mechanism was established to be a small, temporary and efficient\n               structure, whose functions and size will diminish over time, with a small number of\n               staff commensurate with its reduced functions, and, recognising in this regard the full\n               commitment to these elements expressed by the Mechanism, requests the Mechanism\n               to continue to be guided in its activities by these elements;\n                     7.   Welcomes the report (S/2020/309) submitted by the Mechanism to the\n               Council pursuant to its Presidential Statement (S/PRST/2020/4) for the purposes of\n               the review of the progress of the work of the Mechanism, including in completing its\n               functions, as required by paragraph 17 of resolution 1966 (2010), and the report of\n               the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) on the evaluation of the methods\n               and work of the Mechanism (S/2020/236), taking note of the OIOS’s conclusions on\n               the Mechanism’s implementation of the OIOS recommendations and paragraph 8 of\n               resolution 2422 (2018);\n                      8.   Takes note of the work of the Mechanism to date, in particular\n               development of a legal and regulatory framework, procedures, and working practices\n               consistent with the Statute of the Mechanism and drawing on lessons learned from\n               and best practices of the ICTY and ICTR and of other tribunals, including use of\n               rosters to ensure judges and staff are utilized only when required, enabling judges and\n               staff to work remotely to the maximum extent possible, and minimizing the need for\n\n\n2/3                                                                                                          20-08429\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2529 (2020)\n\n           full bench participation in pre-trial and pre-appeal hearing work, in order to produce\n           substantial reductions in the costs of judicial activities compared to those of the ICTY\n           and ICTR, and commends the Mechanism for its efforts to produce such reductions;\n                  9.   Notes further the views and recommendations made with regard to the\n           Mechanism’s work by the Council’s Informal Working Group on International\n           Tribunals, as reflected in this resolution, and requests the Mechanism to take into\n           account those views and implement the recommendations, and to continue to take\n           steps to further enhance efficiency and effective and transparent management, in\n           particular: (i) full implementation of the outstanding recommendations of the OIOS;\n           (ii) production of clear and focused projections of completion timelines at the earliest\n           stage possible and disciplined adherence thereto; (iii) continued ensuring of\n           geographic diversity and gender balance of staff, while ensuring continued\n           professional expertise; (iv) continued implementation of a human resources policy\n           consistent with its temporary mandate; (v) further reduction of costs, including\n           through, but not limited to, flexible staff engagement; and (vi) coordination and\n           information sharing across the three organs of the Mechanism on matters that affected\n           them equally in order to ensure systematic thinking and planning about the future;\n                 10. Reiterates its request to the Mechanism to include in its six-monthly\n           reports to the Council information on progress achieved in implementing t his\n           resolution, as well as detailed information on the staffing of the Mechanism,\n           respective workload and related costs with breakdown by division and detailed\n           projections of the duration of residual functions based on available data;\n                11. Recalls the importance of ensuring the rights of persons detained on the\n           authority of the Mechanism in accordance with applicable international standards,\n           including those related to health care;\n                12. Recalls its encouragement to the Mechanism in resolution 2422 (2018) to\n           consider an appropriate solution to the approach to early release of persons convicted\n           by the ICTR, and notes that during the review period, conditions on early release in\n           appropriate cases were put in place and the Mechanism refined procedures in this\n           regard;\n                 13. Notes the conclusion of the Council’s review of the progress of the work\n           of the Mechanism, including in completing its functions, since the last review of the\n           Mechanism in June 2018, pursuant to resolution 1966 (2010);\n                14.

combination of some level of political\n               will and international pressure, including through the prospect of sanctions,\n               constituted important factors in securing this progress and underlining that\n               MINUSMA, along with the other security presences mentioned in resolution 2480\n               (2019), significantly contributes to the implementation of the Agreement and to the\n               stabilization of Mali,\n                     Expressing a significant sense of impatience with parties over the persistent\n               delays in the full implementation of key provisions of the Agreement, noting that\n               protracted delays in implementation contribute to a political and security vacuum\n               jeopardizing the stability and development of Mali as well as the viability of the\n               Agreement, and stressing the need for increased ownership and prioritization in the\n               implementation of the Agreement,\n                     Underlining that engaging in hostilities in violation of the Agreement as well as\n               actions taken that obstruct, or that obstruct by prolonged delay, or that threaten the\n               implementation of the Agreement constitute a basis for sanctions designations\n               pursuant to resolution 2374 (2017), among other designation criteria,\n                     Noting the Stratégie de stabilisation du centre du Mali by the Malian authorities\n               as well as other initiatives aimed at addressing the situation in Central Mali, and\n               stressing that stabilization of the situation there requires the Malian authorities and\n               relevant stakeholders to implement this strategy by pursuing simultaneous progress\n               on security, governance, development, reconciliation, accountability, as well as\n               protection and promotion of human rights,\n                     Welcoming the holding of the national inclusive dialogue which was a\n               significant step in building consensus on key political and institutional reforms, and\n               further welcoming the increased representation of women in the National Assembly,\n\n\n\n2/17                                                                                                     20-08609\n\n

rights law\n           and violations of international humanitarian law, including those involving\n           extrajudicial and summary executions, arbitrary arrests and detentions and ill -\n           treatment of prisoners, sexual and gender-based violence, and trafficking in persons,\n           as well as killing, maiming, recruitment and use of children, attacks against schools,\n           humanitarian actors and services, and medical personnel and infrastructure identified\n           as such, and calling upon all parties to bring an end to such violations and abuses and\n           to comply with their obligations under applicable international law,\n                 Reiterating, in this regard, the importance of holding accountable all those\n           responsible for such acts and that some of such acts referred to in the paragraph above\n           may amount to crimes under the Rome Statute, taking note that, acting upon the\n           referral of the transitional authorities of Mali dated 13 July 2012, the Prosecutor of\n           the International Criminal Court (ICC) opened on 16 January 2013 an i nvestigation\n           into alleged crimes committed on the territory of Mali since January 2012, and further\n           taking note of the finalization of the work of the International Commission of Inquiry\n           established in accordance with the Agreement and as requested by reso lution 2364\n           (2017),\n                 Emphasizing the need for adequate risk assessment and risk management\n           strategies, by the Government of Mali and the United Nations, of ecological changes,\n           natural disasters, drought, desertification, land degradation, food insecurity, energy\n           access, climate change, among other factors, on the security and stability of Mali,\n                 Commending troop- and police-contributing countries of MINUSMA for their\n           contribution, paying tribute to the peacekeepers who risk, as well as lost, their lives\n           in this respect,\n                 Welcoming MINUSMA’s efforts to implement its adaptation plan, with a view\n           to integrating all mission components and increasing its protected mobility, agility\n           and flexibility, and therefore improving its support to the implementation of the\n           Agreement, to the stabilization and restoration of State authority in the Centre and\n           enhancing protection of civilians, notably by setting -up a Mobile Task Force,\n                 Expressing concern over reports of some training and capabilities shortfalls of\n           MINUSMA units, undeclared caveats, non-compliance with orders, and emphasizing\n           the importance of transparency and accountability of the mission’s performance,\n                 Recognizing that, in light of the specific and challenging environment in which\n           it is deployed, MINUSMA interacts with other security presences which have the\n           potential to be mutually beneficial instruments to restore peace and stability in Mali\n           and the Sahel region,\n                 Taking note of the report of the

call\n           for serious efforts to avoid any further escalation and to defuse tensions,\n                  Recalling its resolution 1325 (2000) and related resolutions, recognising that the\n

the impact on the island of Cyprus of the COVID-19 pandemic and the\n                 efforts made by both communities to suppress the spread of the virus and mitigate its effects,\n                       Further recognising that the COVID-19 pandemic has restricted opportunities and\n                 capacity for negotiation, and expressing concern that the uncoordinated decisions to close\n                 the crossing points along the Green line in response to the pandemic have prevented most\n                 bi-communal engagement, and that the prolonged closure of the crossing points

the mandate of each peacekeeping mission is specific to the need\n               and situation of the country concerned, and that the Security Council expects full\n               delivery of the mandates it authorizes,\n                     Recognizing the significance of the 20th anniversary of resolution 1325 (2000)\n               and the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and

          on 3 October 2020, further welcoming recent high-level discussions between Sudan\n               and South Sudan on the status of Abyei, and the convening of the Joint Political and\n

Encouraging the African Union, the African Union High-Level Implementation\n               Panel (AUHIP), and the UN Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for the Horn of\n               Africa to

Ethiopia, and the United Nations Interim Security Force for\n               Abyei (UNISFA),\n                   Acknowledging that over the course of the nine years since establishment of\n

Joint Border Verification and Monitoring\n               Mechanism (JBVMM) played a stabilizing role along the borders be tween South\n               Sudan and Sudan,\n                     Stressing the need to reconfigure the mission to adapt to the current security\n               situation and to develop a viable exit strategy and plan for a responsible drawdown\n               of UNISFA based on the improved ability of Sudan and South Sud an to manage\n               bilateral disputes, which prioritizes safety and security of civilians living in Abyei\n               and accounts for the stability of the region,\n                     Underlining that over the course of nine years the Government of Sudan and the\n               Government of South Sudan have not made progress establishing joint institutions in\n               Abyei, and encouraging Sudan and South Sudan to engage in substantive dialogue\n               that can advance the political process for resolution of the Abyei dispute,\n                    Expressing concern that the delayed deployment of UN police to the level\n               authorized by the Council prevents UNISFA from fulfilling its security mandate and\n               holds the potential to create a security vacuum in Abyei, and further expressing\n               concern about Sudan and South Sudan’s efforts to impede UNISFA from fully\n               executing its mandate, including by withholding visas for police, blocking\n               appointment of a civilian Deputy Head of Mission and denying access to Athony\n               airport, which would ease UNISFA’s logistical challenges, reduce transport costs, and\n               enhance safety and security for UNISFA personnel,\n                     Commending the efforts of UNISFA, notwithstanding the impediments referred\n               to in the previous paragraph, in its attempts to carry out its mandate effectively,\n               including by its ongoing facilitation of peaceful migration throughout the Abyei Area,\n               conflict prevention, mediation and deterrence, and expressing grave concern about\n               the security threats and targeted attacks against United Nations peacekeepers in\n               UNISFA, strongly underscoring the unacceptability of any attack on United Nations\n               personnel, and reiterating that such attacks, which may constitute war crimes, should\n               be swiftly and thoroughly investigated, and that those responsible should be held to\n               account,\n                     Bearing in mind that people in the Abyei Area continue to rely on humanitarian\n               assistance, that access for humanitarian organizations to reach people in need remains\n               of crucial importance, and that humanitarian actors continue to provide assistance to\n               210,000 people in the Abyei Area,\n                     Recalling resolutions 1325 (2000) and subsequent resolutions on women, peace,\n               and security and emphasizing that persistent barriers to full implementation of these\n               resolutions will only be dismantled through dedicated com mitment to women’s\n               empowerment, participation, and human rights, and through concerted leadership,\n               consistent information and action, and support,\n                    Recognizing that the current situation in Abyei and along the border between\n               Sudan and South Sudan continues to constitute a threat to international peace and\n               security,\n                     1.    Decides to extend until 15 May 2021 the mandate of UNISFA as set out in\n               paragraph 2 of resolution 1990 (2011) and acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of\n               the United Nations, further decides to extend until 15 May 2021 the tasks of UNISFA\n               as set out in paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011);\n                     2.   Decides to extend until 15 May 2021 UNISFA’s mandate modification set\n               forth in resolution 2024 (2011) and paragraph 1 of resolution 2075 (2012), which\n               provides for UNISFA’s support to the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring\n               Mechanism (JBVMM), and further decides that this shall be the final such extension\n               unless the parties take the specific measures described in paragraph 3;\n\n\n2/7                                                                                                     20-15092\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/2550 (2020)\n\n                3.    Determines that both parties should continue to demonstrate measurable\n           progress on border demarcation, specifically by taking the measures listed below:\n                (1)   UNISFA and JBVMM Patrols: Achieve standing clearance and full\n                      freedom of movement for all air and ground patrols,\n                (2)   JBVMM Team Sites: Support operationalizing the team site in Abu\n                      Qussa/Wunkur,\n                (3)   JPSM: Provide clear guidance to JBVMM by convening two meetings of\n                      the JPSM and ensure conclusions of meetings are widely disseminated,\n                (4)   Safe Demilitarized Border Zone (SDBZ): Immediately withdraw from the\n                      SDBZ as both parties committed to do in the 28–29 October 2020 JPSM,\n                      and to provide notification of such withdrawal to UNISFA for verification,\n                (5)   Border Crossing Corridors: Operationalize the reopening of border\n                      crossing corridors per the decision of the 28–29 October 2020 JPSM, and\n                      together with UNISFA verify their functioning and free movement across\n                      the border,\n                (6)   Border Demarcation: Develop a detailed work plan and budget for\n                      demarcation discussions, including negotiations on the disputed areas\n                      within the framework of the signed agreements, and hold two meetings of\n                      the Joint Demarcation Committee\n                (7)   National Monitors: Maintain deployment of national monitors to\n                      participate in JBVMM operational activities;\n                4.    Maintains the authorized troop ceiling at 3,550 until 15 May 2021;\n                5.    Maintains the authorized police ceiling at 640 police personnel, including\n           148 individual police officers and three formed police units, requests the United\n           Nations to take necessary steps to deploy additional police sequentially in order to\n           meet the authorized police ceiling of 640, and expresses its intention to reduce the\n           authorized police ceiling as the Abyei Police Service is gradually established and\n           providing effective law enforcement throughout the Abyei area;\n                 6.    Reiterates its request to the Secretary-General to appoint a civilian Deputy\n           Head of Mission for UNISFA and add additional civilian staff within existing\n           resources to further facilitate liaison between and engagement with the parties in a\n           manner consistent with the Agreement on Temporary Arrangements for the\n           Administration and Security of the Abyei Area of June 2011, including agreement to\n           establish the Abyei Police Service;\n                7.     Expresses disappointment that the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan\n           continue to obstruct full implementation of UNISFA’s mandate, and demands that the\n           two countries provide full support to UNISFA in the deployment of UNISFA\n           personnel, including by promptly issuing visas withou t prejudice of their\n           nationalities, and expresses its serious concern that the Government of Sudan has not\n           issued visas promptly to support personnel critical for the mandate of UNISFA,\n           including police;\n                 8.    Urges that the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan facilitate basing\n           arrangements for UNISFA in the Mission area including Athony airport, and provide\n           necessary flight clearances, and notes that the utilization of Athony airport will reduce\n           UNISFA’s transport costs and logistical challenges, facilitate MEDEVAC, official\n           travel and air cargo needs for the Mission, increase humanitarian access, and enhance\n           safety and security for UNISFA personnel in line with resolution 2518 (2020), and\n           further calls upon all parties to fully adhere to their obligations under the Status of\n           Forces Agreements;\n\n20-15092                                                                                                         3/7\n\nS/RES/2550 (2020)\n\n                    9.    Urges continued progress towards establishing temporary administrative\n               and security arrangements that are agreed to by the parties;\n                     10. Encourages the African Union, AUHIP, and the Special Envoy of the\n               Secretary-General to continue coordinating efforts to establish temporary\n               administrative and security arrangements for Abyei and to achieve a political solution\n               to the status of Abyei, further encourages UNISFA to coordinate with the African\n               Union, AUHIP and the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General on reconciliation,\n               community sensitization, and political peace processes, and reiterates its requests for\n               the Secretary-General to consult with relevant parties on enhancing the role played\n               by the Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa to support the above mentioned efforts;\n                    11. Urges renewed efforts to determine conclusively the Safe Demilitarized\n               Border Zone (SDBZ) centreline on the ground, and reiterates that the centreline of\n               the SDBZ in no way prejudices the current or future legal status of the border, ongoing\n               negotiations on the disputed and claimed areas, and demarcation of the borders;\n                     12. Underscores that UNISFA’s protection of civilians mandate as set out in\n               paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011) includes taking the necessary actions to protect\n               civilians under imminent threat of physical violence, irrespective of the source of\n               such violence, and in that regard underlines that peacekeepers are authorized to use\n               all necessary means, which includes the use of force when required, in order to protect\n               civilians under threat of physical violence, in accordance with mission mandates, the\n               United Nations Charter and other applicable international law, and stresses the\n               importance of continued and further engagement by senior mission leadership, with\n               a view to ensuring that all mission components and all levels of the chain of command\n               are properly informed of, trained for, and involved in the mission’s protection of\n               civilians mandate and their relevant responsibilities; and commending UNISFA’s\n               efforts in that regard;\n                      13. Condemns the intermittent presence of South Sudan security service\n               personnel and the deployment of Diffra Oil Police units in the Abyei Area, in violation\n               of the 20 June 2011 Agreement, as well as any entry of armed militias into the\n               territory, and reiterates its demands that immediately and without preconditions the\n               Government of South Sudan fully redeploy its security service personnel from the\n               Abyei Area and that the Government of Sudan redeploy the Oil Police in Diffra from\n               the Abyei Area, and further reiterates, in accordance with relevant resolutions, in\n               particular resolution 1990 (2011) and resolution 2046 (2012), that the Abyei Area\n               shall be demilitarized from any forces, as well as armed elements of the local\n               communities, other than UNISFA and the Abyei Police Service;\n                    14.

Notes that drivers behind different armed groups’ activities and militia\n           violence are varied, internal and external, and that there is no purely military solution\n           to these problems, underlines the need for tailored responses in addressing the threat\n           posed by armed groups, calls on the Government of the DRC to take further action in\n           this respect, combining military and non-military approaches in accordance with\n           international law, including international humanitarian law and international human\n           rights law, and including through tailored Disarmament, Demobilisation and\n           Reintegration (DDR) of ex-combatants into civilian life and local peacebuilding\n           initiatives which are sensitive to the needs and experiences of women and girls, in\n           coordination and with the support of MONUSCO in accordance with its mandate;\n                 18. Calls for joint operations by the FARDC and MONUSCO, that include\n           joint planning and tactical cooperation, in accordance with MONUSCO’s mandate\n           and the United Nations Human Rights Due Diligence Policy (HRDDP), to ensure all\n           efforts possible are being made to prevent, deter and stop armed groups and stresses\n           the need to carry out all operations, joint or unilateral, in strict compliance with\n           international law, including international humanitarian law and international human\n           rights law, as applicable;\n                 19. Acknowledges the gradual implementation of the peace agreement between\n           the Government of the DRC and the Force de résistance patriotique de l’Ituri (FRPI)\n           and the expression of readiness by some armed groups to lay down their weapons and,\n           in that regard, welcomes the Government of the DRC’s efforts to create a national\n           structure for delivery and intent to pursue a new community-based national DDR\n           approach as a core component of efforts to sustainably reduce the threat posed by\n           armed groups and urges the Government of the DRC and its partners to urgently\n           provide adequate and timely support for the DDR of eligible former combatants,\n           through tailored, community-based and context specific DDR initiatives with\n           sustainable economic alternatives and opportunities in order to effectively attract\n           combatants willing to demobilise and transition into a peaceful civilian life, learning\n           lessons from previous approaches, and ensuring that accountability and the protection\n           of children’s rights are an integral part of those processes, acknowledges that the\n           absence of a credible DDR process adjusted to current armed groups dynamics is\n           preventing armed elements from laying down their weapons;\n                20.

         promotion of peace and security, and as a key aspect of the sustainability,\n               inclusiveness and success of peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts, and further\n               encourages the full, equal and meaningful participation of youth in this process,\n                     Recognising that effective contact and communication between the sides\n               enhances the prospects for settlement and is in the interests of all Cypriots, and helps\n               to address island-wide matters, including health, crime, environmental protection, and\n               issues related to the adverse impacts of climate change,\n                     Recognising the ongoing impact on the island of Cyprus of the COVID -19\n               pandemic and the efforts made by

     responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and expressing concern that the closure of the\n               crossing points along the Green line has limited opportunities for bi communal\n               engagement and trust-building activities, and that the continued and prolonged\n               closure of some crossing points threatens to set back the progress made in this area\n               since 2003,\n                     Expressing concern at the continued deterioration of the law and order situation\n               in Pyla, and urging both sides to continue to work with UNFICYP to establish\n               effective measures to tackle criminal activities,\n                     Reiterating the importance of confidence-building measures and their timely\n               implementation, and urging the sides to step up their efforts to promote\n               intercommunal contacts, reconciliation and the active engagement of civil society, in\n               particular women and youth,\n                    Noting that the Government of Cyprus is agreed that in view of the prevailing\n               conditions on the island it is necessary to keep the

     including UNFICYP, to ensure efficiency and effectiveness,\n                   Expressing appreciation to Member States that contribute personnel to\n               UNFICYP, and noting the

Commends the ongoing work of the Committee on Missing Persons, and\n               calls upon all parties expeditiously to enhance their cooperation with the Committee’s\n               work, in particular through providing full access without delay to all areas and\n               responding in a timely manner to requests for archival information on possible burial\n               sites;\n                     9.

Nations,\n                 1.    Reaffirms the need for the full and timely implementation of the political\n           transition following the comprehensive National Dialogue Conference, in line with\n           the Gulf Cooperation Council Initiative and Implementation Mechanism, and in\n           accordance with its previous relevant resolutions, and with regard to the expectations\n           of the Yemeni people;\n                2.

response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the efforts of Member States therein,\n                    Recognising the vital role of UN peacekeeping operations in contributing to the\n               maintenance of international peace and security, expressing deep appreciation for the\n               UN personnel in UN peacekeeping operations, including personnel from troop- and\n               police-contributing countries, for their extraordinary efforts in the face of the\n               COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences, stressing the importance of their health\n               and well-being, and noting the establishment of the Group of Friends on COVID-19\n               vaccines for UN uniformed personnel with the goal to develop policy\n               recommendations for the

Expresses its intention to review those specific situations brought to its\n           attention by the Secretary-General where hostilities and the activities of armed groups\n           are impeding COVID-19 vaccination and to consider what further measures may be\n           necessary to ensure such impediments are removed and hostilities paused to enable\n           vaccination;\n                 9.   Calls for COVID-19 national vaccination plans to include those at a higher\n           risk of developing severe COVID-19 symptoms and the most vulnerable, including\n           frontline workers, older people, refugees, internally displaced people, stateless\n           people, indigenous people, migrants, persons with disabilities, detained persons, as\n           well as people living in areas under the control of any non-state armed group;\n                 10.

      Welcoming the progress achieved in Somalia so far, and commending the Somali\n               people, the Somali authorities, the African Union, the African Union Mission in\n               Somalia (AMISOM) and its troop contributing countries, the United Nations and\n               Somalia’s other international partners for their role in this,\n                     Reiterating that the

and the role of sanctions imposed by the United Nations\n               Security Council, as, amongst other things, a non-military means of degrading Al\n               Shabaab, and armed opposition

recognising\n               that military action alone will not overcome this threat, reiterating the need, therefore,\n               to pursue an approach that addresses stabilisation and governance

to take full responsibility for\n               its own security and that degrading Al Shabaab and armed opposition groups and\n               building and sustaining peace will therefore require

       Emphasising the importance of building the capacity of Somali forces and\n               institutions so they are able to manage current and future threats, further emphasising\n               the importance of effective coordination between the Federal Government of Somalia\n               (FGS) and its Federal Member States (FMS) and international partners in order to\n               ensure such capacity building is coherent and aligned with the direction provided by\n               Somalia and enables the SSF to assume progressively greater responsibility for\n               Somalia’s security,\n                     Underlining the critical importance of the FGS and FMS reaching inclusive\n               political agreements, expressing concern at the delays in finalising

possible, further\n               urging them to collaborate on security and other national priorities, noting the\n               responsibilities of all parties to improve cooperation and engage in FGS-led\n               discussions, and underscoring that full cooperation of all parties would advance\n               progress on national priorities including the implementation of the National Security\n               Architecture, revised Somalia Transition Plan, ensuring a fully functioning federal\n               system and finalising the constitution as the legal and political

involvement in all efforts at all levels for the maintenance and\n               promotion of peace and security, and the need to increase their role in decisionmaking and leadership with regard to

international humanitarian law in Somalia, calling on all parties to act in full\n               compliance with their obligations under international human rights law and\n               international humanitarian law, and recalling the Working Group Conclusions on\n               Children and Armed Conflict in Somalia (S/AC.51/2020/6),\n                     Expressing serious concern

Reiterates that while Al Shabaab remains the most immediate and pressing\n               security and stability threat to Somalia, it and armed opposition groups will not be\n               defeated by military means alone, and in this regard, urges the FGS and FMS with\n               the support of the African Union, the United Nations and international partners to\n               work closer together to increase the delivery of non-military activities to address\n               Al-Shabaab’s organised crime, illicit finance, access to and trafficking in small arms\n               and light weapons, procurement, justice and propaganda activities;\n                     4.    Underlines the need for Somalia and its partners to take a coordinated and\n               cohesive approach towards Somali-led political and security reforms, with all joint\n               operations, and strategic and operational decisions, including SSF force generation,\n               to ensure transition of security responsibilities agreed between the Somali authorities,\n               SSF, and AMISOM from the outset, in coordination with the United Nations and other\n               international partners where appropriate, and therefore calls on:\n                    (a) The FGS to lead strategic coordination through regular high-level\n               meetings of the Somali Transition Plan Strategic Steering Committee supported by\n               the Security and Justice Committee (formerly the Comprehensive Approach to\n               Security Executive) and the Somalia Development and Reconstruction Facility\n               Committee;\n                      (b) The FGS, FMS, AMISOM, UNSOM, UNSOS, and international partners\n               to increase coordination and collaboration, including by establishing a joint fus ion\n               cell to plan and deliver integrated strategic operations led by the Somali Government,\n               and with support from the African Union, the United Nations and Somalia’s security\n               partners, and to conduct joint analysis, joint integrated planning, operational\n               coordination and joint performance assessment noting that UNSOS has already\n               constructed a suitable facility in Mogadishu and further calls on the FGS, FMS,\n               AMISOM, UNSOM, UNSOS and international partners to extend the joint fusion cell\n               into the AMISOM sectors;\n                     (c) International and regional partners, in coordination with AMISOM,\n               UNSOM and through the CAS, to continue to coordinate and better align their support\n               with respect to mentoring, training, provision of equipment, capacity building of SSF,\n               and remuneration of police and military forces of Somalia including through ensuring\n               that all such support and assistance is appropriately notified as required by resolution\n               2551 (2020);\n                     5.   Underscores that the primary responsibility for protecting civilians lies\n               with the Somali authorities, further underscores the importance of protecting civilians\n               in accordance with international humanitarian law, underlines the need for Somalia\n               and its international partners to take into account the security situation in each\n\n\n4/12                                                                                                      21-03445\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/2568 (2021)\n\n           location during transition of security responsibilities to Somalia, emphasises that\n           planning and decision-making should be guided by a comprehensive assessment of\n           the threat to civilians and that proactive measures to mitigate risks should be taken,\n           including by establishing an appropriately-sized and qualified SSF presence to ensure\n           continued security and protection before, during and after military action, and\n           reaffirms the essential role of the police and justice sector in stabilisation efforts and\n           the preparation and conduct of elections;\n\n\n           AMISOM\n\n           Objectives and functions\n                 6.    Reiterates its objective of enabling Somalia, through support from\n           AMISOM’s military, police and civilian components to take full responsibility for its\n           security in the future, with the aim of Somalia taking the lead in 2021, and achieving\n           full responsibility by the end of 2023 in line with the STP and taking into\n           consideration the situation on the ground;\n                7.    Recognises the need for a reconfigured African Union mission, from the\n           beginning of 2022, which is focussed on enabling and supporting SSF to take primary\n           responsibility for security;\n                 8.    Requests the African Union and FGS to conduct a joint update to\n           AMISOM’s Concept of Operations (CONOPS) in line with the STP up until the end\n           of 2023 and in close collaboration with the FMS, United Nations and international\n           partners, to be presented to the Security Council no later than the end of August 2021\n           to help inform decisions about the size and shape of the future mission, including its\n           logistical requirements and stresses that the size of the mission will decline over time\n           as Somalia takes on greater security responsibilities;\n                9.    Requests the Secretary-General, jointly with the African Union and in\n           consultation with the FGS and donors, to produce a proposal on the strategic\n           objectives, size and composition of a reconfigured African Union mission by the end\n           of September 2021;\n                 10.

Requests the Secretary-General to fully deploy UNMHA expeditiously,\n               taking into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and calls on the parties\n               to the Hodeidah Agreement to support the United Nations as set out in S/2019/28,\n               including by ensuring the safety, security, and health of UNMHA personnel and the\n               unhindered and expeditious movement into and within Yemen of UNMHA personnel\n               and equipment, provisions and essential supplies, an d demands an end to the\n               hindrances to the movement of UNMHA personnel in Hodeidah governorate,\n               particularly in conflict-affected districts, and expresses support for the efforts by\n               UNMHA to reactivate the RCC and its joint mechanisms to implement the Hodei dah\n               Agreement and to meet the access needs of all parties and be equally responsive to\n               their requests;\n                    6.   Requests Member States, particularly neighbouring States, to support the\n               United Nations as required for the implementation of UNMHA’s mandate;\n                    7.    Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Security Council on a\n               monthly basis on progress regarding the implementation of this resolution, including\n               on any obstructions to the effective operation of UNMHA caused by any party; and\n               on resolution 2451 (2018), including on any non-compliance by any party;\n                    8.    Further requests the Secretary-General to present to the Council a further\n               review of UNMHA, at least one month before UNMHA’s mandate is due to expire;\n                    9.

       Offices S/2021/634 and on the United Nations operation in Cyprus (S/2021/635), and\n               expressing its full support for his Good Offices, including the existing body of work,\n               to remain available to assist the sides,\n                     Underscoring that the responsibility for finding a solution lies first and foremost\n               with the Cypriots themselves, and reaffirming the primary role of the United Nations\n               in assisting the parties to bring the Cyprus conflict and division of the island to a\n               comprehensive and durable

     the importance of openness, flexibility and compromise in finding common ground\n               with the goal of returning to formal negotiations, and urging the sides to renew their\n               efforts to achieve an enduring, comprehensive and just settlement based on a\n               bicommunal, bizonal federation with political equality, as set out in relevant Security\n               Council resolutions, including paragraph 4 of its resolution 716 (1991),\n                     Stressing that the status quo is unsustainable, that the situation on the ground is\n               not static, and that the lack of an agreement furthers political tensions and deepens\n               the estrangement of both communities, risking irreversible changes on the ground,\n               and reducing the prospects of a settlement,\n                    Noting the easing of tensions in the eastern Mediterranean over hydrocarbons\n               exploration, remaining convinced of the many important benefits, inclu ding economic\n               benefits, for all Cypriots and the wider region that would flow from a comprehensive\n               and durable settlement, and reiterating the

(E)\n*2110504*\n\nS/RES/2587 (2021)\n\n               of all steps taken on Varosha since October 2020, reaffirming the status of Varosha as\n               set out in its previous resolutions, and reiterating that no actions should be carried\n               out in relation to Varosha that are not in accordance with those resolutions, and\n               stressing the need to avoid any unilateral actions that could trigger tensions on the\n               island and undermine the prospects for a peaceful settlement,\n                     Recalling its resolution 1325 (2000) and all related resolutions, recognising that\n               the full, equal and meaningful participation and leadership of women is essential in\n               building peace in Cyprus and will contribute to making any future settlement\n               sustainable, welcoming efforts to bring together a broader range of women actors on\n               both sides, acknowledging the gender-sensitive socioeconomic impact assessment\n               that was launched on 17 February 2020, and looking forward to the full and swift\n               implementations of its recommendations, encouraging the sides to ensure the needs\n               and perspectives of women are addressed in a future settlement,\n                     Recalling its resolution 2250 (2015) and related resolutions that recognise the\n               important and positive contribution of youth in efforts for the maintenance and\n               promotion of peace and security, and as a key aspect of the sustainability,\n               inclusiveness and success of peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts, and further\n               encourages the full, equal and meaningful participation of youth in thi s process,\n                     Recognising the ongoing efforts made by both communities to suppress the\n               spread of COVID-19 and mitigate its effects, regretting the impact that the largely\n               uncoordinated responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have had on bi-communal\n               engagement, welcoming the reopening of all crossing points and encouraging the\n               return to the status of the crossings as at 29 February 2020,\n                     Expressing concern at the continued deterioration of the law and order situation\n               in Pyla, and urging both sides to continue to work with UNFICYP to establish\n               effective measures to tackle criminal activities,\n                     Reiterating the importance of confidence-building measures and their timely\n               implementation, and encouraging the sides to consider new military confidence\n               building measures,\n                     Urging the sides to step up their efforts to promote intercommunal contacts,\n               reconciliation and the active engagement of civil society, in particular women and\n               youth, and recognising that regular, effective contact and communication between the\n               sides enhances the prospects for settlement and is in the interests of all Cypriots, and\n               helps to address island-wide matters, including migration, health, crime,\n               environmental protection, and issues related to the adverse impacts of climate change,\n                    Noting that the Government of Cyprus is agreed that in view of the prevailing\n               conditions on the island it is necessary to keep the United Nations Peacekeeping Force\n               in Cyprus (UNFICYP) beyond 31 July 2021,\n                     Welcoming measures to date to strengthen the liaison and engagement capacity\n               of the mission, noting the importance of transition planning in relation to the\n               settlement, and emphasising the need to review regularly all peacekeeping operations,\n               including UNFICYP, to ensure efficiency and effectiveness,\n                   Expressing appreciation to Member States that contribute personnel to\n               UNFICYP, and noting the continued voluntary contributions to the funding of\n               UNFICYP by the Government of Cyprus and the Government of Greece,\n                    Noting with appreciation the efforts of the Secretary-General, his Special\n               Representative Elizabeth Spehar, and senior United Nations official Jane Holl Lute,\n                    1.   Reaffirms all its relevant resolutions on Cyprus, in particular resolution\n               1251 (1999) and recalls the importance of achieving an enduring, comprehensive and\n\n\n2/6                                                                                                       21-10504\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2587 (2021)\n\n           just settlement based on a bicommunal, bizonal federation with political equality, as\n           set out in relevant Security Council resolutions, including paragraph 4 of its\n           resolution 716 (1991);\n                 2.   Fully supports the Secretary-General’s ongoing engagement and the\n           agreement by the parties to convene a further round of informal talks in the near\n           future, and reiterates the importance of the sides and all involved participants\n           approaching these talks in the spirit of openness, flexibility and compromise and to\n           show the necessary political will and commitment to freely negotiate a mutually\n           acceptable settlement under United Nations auspices;\n                 3.   Notes the easing of tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean, and underlines\n           that disputes should be resolved peacefully in accordance with applicable\n           international law, and further calls upon the leaders of the two Cypriot communities\n           and all involved parties to refrain from any actions and rhetoric that might damage\n           the settlement process;\n                 4.    Recalls its resolution 2561 (2021) and calls upon the two leaders urgently\n           to:\n                 (a) provide the necessary political support and overall guidance to free the\n           Technical Committees from obstructions in their work and enable them to function\n           effectively, and to empower them to submit proposals for their consideration to\n           enhance intercommunal contacts and improve the daily lives of all Cypriots, and\n           consider the advice of the Good Offices Mission of the Secretary-General regarding\n           further ways to empower the Technical Committees and improve their performance;\n                (b) engage the Technical Committees more actively to ensure effective\n           coordination and cooperation on matters which have island -wide implications,\n           including through the effective use of the expertise available in the bicommunal\n           Technical Committees on Health, Criminal Matters, Crisis Management,\n           Humanitarian Affairs and Economic Matters;\n                 (c)   ensure effective coordination and cooperation on criminal matters;\n                (d) promote peace education across the island, including by further\n           empowering the Technical Committee on Education to implement the\n           recommendations contained in its joint report of 2017, in particular those concerning\n           policy-making, and to address impediments to peace by conducting a joint review of\n           school materials, including text books, as a contribution to trust -building between the\n           communities, on which there continues to be no progress;\n                 (e) improve the public atmosphere for negotiation to secure a settlement,\n           including by preparing the communities for a settlement through public messages on\n           the way ahead, and delivering more constructive and harmonised messages, including\n           by more explicitly encouraging contact and cooperation between the communities and\n           providing direct support to grassroots people-to-people initiatives, and by refraining\n           from actions or rhetoric that detracts from a successful process or could make it more\n           difficult to achieve;\n                (f) increase their support to, and ensure a meaningful role for, civil society\n           engagement in peace efforts, in particular strengthening the participation of women ’s\n           organisations and youth in the process, and to support implementation of the\n           recommendations of the gender sensitive socioeconomic impact assessment to\n           address existing barriers and ensure a future peace agreement can more equally\n           benefit men and women in Cyprus;\n                5.    Regrets the ongoing lack of meaningful participation of women ’s\n           organisations and youth in the Settlement process, calls on the leaders of both sides\n           to submit to the Secretary-General by 15 December 2021 an action plan, in\n\n21-10504                                                                                                        3/6\n\nS/RES/2587 (2021)\n\n               coordination with the Technical Committee on Gender Equality, to increase women ’s\n               full, equal and meaningful participation in peace talks and to provide direct support\n               and encouragement to civil society organisations to enhance inter-communal contact\n               and trust-building, and requests the Secretary-General to include this action plan in\n               his next Good Offices report, and notes the Secretary-General’s call to ensure the\n               inclusion of at least 30 per cent women in future delegations and urges the parties to\n               explore ways to ensure women’s full, equal and meaningful participation and the\n               inclusion of gender considerations in a possible resumed negotiation process;\n                     6.   Regrets the lack of progress on an effective mechanism for direct military\n               contacts between the sides and the relevant involved parties, and urges engagement\n               by the sides and the relevant involved parties, facilitated by UNFICYP, to develop a\n               suitably acceptable proposal on the establishment of such a mechanism, and its timely\n               implementation;\n                     7.   Calls upon the sides to reduce existing barriers to intercommunal contact,\n               emphasizes the importance of effective communication for risk -mitigation and trustbuilding between the communities, and urges the sides to agree and implement further\n               confidence building measures that can contribute to a conducive environment for\n               settlement, including those related to the military, economic cooperation and trade,\n               and including through the work of the Technical Committees;\n                     8.    Welcomes the establishment of a dialogue between the sides and the UN\n               resulting in the reopening of the crossing points on 4 June, and calls on the leaders to\n               continue cooperation in this vein and to return the crossing points to the operating\n               status that existed prior to 29 February 2020, and noting that the opening of the\n               crossings since 2003 has been an important confidence-building measure between\n               both communities and one which is essential for the settlement process;\n                     9.    Commends the ongoing work of the Committee on Missing Persons, and\n               calls upon all parties to continue their cooperation with the Committee ’s work, in\n               particular through providing full access without delay to all areas and responding in\n               a timely manner to requests for archival information on possible burial sites;\n                     10. Expresses its full support for UNFICYP, and decides to extend its mandate\n               for a further period ending on 31 January 2022;\n                     11. Expresses serious concern at the continued violations of the military status\n               quo along the ceasefire lines, the reported encroachment by b oth sides into the Buffer\n               Zone and the risks associated, and the increase in unauthorised construction as\n               outlined in paragraphs 12 to 17 of the Secretary-General’s report which poses\n               challenges to UNFICYP’s operations and mandated authority;\n                     12.

against United Nations personnel\n               serving in peacekeeping operations, including, but not limited to, their detention and\n               abduction, and that the rate of prosecution of such crimes has remained very low,\n               which has further contributed to an environment of impunity, and undermined the\n               safety and security of such personnel, and in this regard, noting the commitment\n               expressed by Member States to take all appropriate measures to bring to justice\n               perpetrators of such acts against United Nations personnel

leadership and political will of national authorities are critical in this regard and\n               success necessitates national ownership,\n                     Recognizing the critical role of

Reaffirming the critical link between safety and security and the performance of\n               civilian and uniformed peacekeeping personnel, and that institutionalizing a culture\n               of performance in United Nations peacekeeping will contribute to better delivery of\n               peacekeeping mandates, as well as leading to improvements in the safety and security\n               of

articulate a clear pathway to transition and to achieving\n               sustainable peace, and underlining that transitions of United Nations Peace\n               Operations are understood as a

territories, recognising that reconfigurations of missions may entail\n               increased risks for civilians, in particular for women, youth, children, persons with\n               disabilities, and, where relevant, the need to enhance States’ capacity to protect their\n               own civilians, emphasising the importance of security sector reform, poverty\n               reduction measures, gender equality, human rights monitorin g and reporting, the\n               promotion of rule of law and good governance, and the extension of legitimate State\n               authority in ensuring the protection of civilians over the longer term and in the\n               consolidation of peace and stability, taking note of interlinkages between transitional\n               justice, inclusive disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration processes, functional\n               child protection services, national small arms and light weapons management, and\n               organised crime and anti-corruption measures, for enhancing stability, reaffirming\n               that development, peace and security, and human rights are interlinked and mutually\n               reinforcing, and recalling further the General Assembly resolution, A/RES/70/1,\n               entitled “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” ,\n

 provided for by international law, and acknowledging the important role of those who\n               protect and promote human rights, civil society organisations, journalists and other\n               media workers in the promotion and protection of human rights,\n                     Reaffirming its commitment to addressing the impact of armed conflict on\n               women, youth, and children, and recalling its resolution 1325 (2000) on women,\n               peace and security, resolution 1265 (1999) on the protection of civilians in armed\n               conflict, resolution

and related humanitarian crises on persons with disabilities,\n               as well as all subsequent resolutions concerning these agendas,\n                     Reaffirming its commitment to include in the mandates of peace oper ations a\n               desired outcome of the implementation of sequenced, mandated tasks and, where\n               appropriate, a clear prioritisation of tasks to achieve this outcome, reflecting the need\n               to create favourable conditions for sustainable peace, understanding prioritisation as\n               the mission focussing on those specific mandated tasks which are based on up -to-date\n               conflict analysis and planning and are assessed as responding to the evolving needs\n               on the ground, and further understanding sequencing as a logical, flexible\n               implementation of the mandate over time, in line with the strategic vision as set out\n               in the mandate, aligned with the peace and security needs within the host State,\n               building towards a consolidation of peace,\n                     Recognising that the effective implementation of peacekeeping mandates is the\n               responsibility of all stakeholders and is contingent upon several critical factors,\n               including well-defined, realistic and achievable mandates, political will, leadership,\n               performance and accountability at all levels, adequate r esources, policy, planning and\n               operational guidelines and training and equipment, and welcoming further\n               engagement and dialogue between United Nations, troop and police contributing\n               countries, and other relevant stakeholders to improve performance and inf orm\n               decisions regarding mandate design,\n                     Reaffirming its belief that United Nations peacekeeping, including mission\n               transition processes, is a unique global partnership that draws together the\n               contributions and commitments of the entire United Nations system, and reaffirms its\n               commitment to strengthening this partnership, including to ensure a coherent,\n               integrated, and planned approach to transitions at the earliest possible stage,\n                    Noting efforts undertaken by the Secretary-General to mobilise all partners and\n               stakeholders in support of more effective United Nations peacekeeping through his\n\n2/6

for Peacekeeping” and “Action for Peacekeeping +”, which\n           highlight the importance of advancing political solutions, strengthening protection of\n           civilians, improving the safety and security of peacekeepers, implementing the\n           Women, Peace and Security agenda, supporting effective performance and\n           accountability, improving peacekeeping partnerships, strengthening the conduct of\n           peacekeeping operations and personnel, and strengthening the impact of\n           peacekeeping on peacebuilding and sustaining peace,\n                 Reaffirming that “sustaining peace” should be broadly understood as a goal and\n           a process to build a common vision of a society, ensuring that the needs and human\n           rights of all segments of the population are taken into account, which encompasses\n           activities, including promotion of justice and accountability, aimed at preventing the\n           outbreak, escalation, continuation and recurrence of conflict, addressing root causes ,\n           assisting parties to conflict to end hostilities, ensuring national reconciliation, and\n           moving towards recovery, reconstruction and development, and emphasising that\n           sustaining peace is a shared task and responsibility that needs to be fulfilled by the\n           government and all other national stakeholders and should flow through all three\n           pillars of the United Nations’ engagement at all stages of conflict, and in all its\n           dimensions, and needs sustained international attention and assistance,\n                 1.    Stresses the crucial role peace operations play in the pursuit of sustainable\n           political solutions and building peace, and, in this regard, emphasises the need for\n           peace operations to engage at the earliest possible stage in integrated planning and\n           coordination on transitions with the Resident Coordinators, United Nations Country\n           Team, other United Nations agencies, funds and programmes, the host State and other\n           national stakeholders including civil society and further emphasises that in order to\n           be sustainable, the transition planning process should take into account broad\n           challenges, including risks to stability, governance, and the rule of law, as well as the\n           political, economic, development, humanitarian, and human rights context;\n                 2.    Requests the Secretary-General to plan for United Nations peace\n           operations transitions which are integrated within the wider country -specific\n           transition to peace and to elaborate mission transition strategies which build towards\n           the reconfiguration of the strategy, footprint and capacity of the United Nations\n           presence, informed by input from stakeholders at all levels, including in close\n           consultation with national authorities, the Resident Coordinator and United Nations\n           Country Team, local communities and organisations, including those that c ontribute\n           to peacebuilding, with the full, equal, and meaningful participation of women and\n           inclusion of youth, regional and sub-regional organisations, as well as relevant\n           International Financial Institutions and United Nations funds, programmes and\n           agencies, and further requests that these mission strategies clarify roles and\n           responsibilities for all relevant United Nations stakeholders as well as, where\n           relevant, clear and realistic benchmarks and indicators which measure factors and\n           conditions that might impact the reconfiguration in order to ensure a successful and\n           durable transition;\n                 3.    Encourages national governments to develop and implement\n           comprehensive national plans, policies, or strategies to protect civilians, which\n           include national benchmarks, in advance of peace operations transitions and requests\n           the Secretary-General to direct United Nations peace operations to engage with host\n           State governments, other United Nations entities, civil society, including women and\n           youth, those who protect and promote human rights, International Financial\n           Institutions, and all relevant stakeholders to assist, when requested by host state\n           governments, in the development, implementation and monitoring of national\n           strategies and plans for transition including on th e protection of civilians, human\n           rights and access to justice, in line with the United Nations peace operations\n           transitions strategy;\n\n21-12641                                                                                                         3/6\n\nS/RES/2594 (2021)\n\n                     4.

Expresses the importance of a United Nations presence appropriately\n               configured with necessary capabilities and capacities to provide support to protection\n               of civilians efforts during transitions, further expresses its intention, where relevant,\n               to consider the appropriate measures through which a mandated, reconfigured United\n               Nations presence could provide such support, including through supporting the\n               establishment of and training in the use of early warning and rapid response systems,\n               deployment of mobile monitoring teams, facilitating local crisis mediation, utilising\n               communications and outreach strategies with populations at risk of violence including\n               sexual and gender-based violence, advancing conflict prevention, mitigation, and\n               reconciliation, including through promoting and supporting inter-communal dialogue\n               and community violence reduction, building trust between State authorities and local\n               communities, supporting community policing initiatives, or other methods of\n               unarmed civilian protection, and recalling the primary responsibility of States to\n               protect the population throughout their territories;\n                    6.

consequences on their health, all of\n               which may further impede the continuation of their education,\n                      Expressing deep concern that many children in armed conflict, in particular\n               girls, lack access to education owing to attacks and threats of attacks against schools,\n               damaged or destroyed school buildings, mines and explosive remnants of war,\n               insecurity, the prevalence of violence, including sexual and gender-based violence\n               against children, in and around schools and loss or lack of civil

conference held in Paris in 2017, and the commitments during the\n               conferences, the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Chil d, and the\n               commemoration of the

Requests the Secretary-General to deploy and allocate personnel and\n               expertise within MINUSCA to reflect the priorities identified by paragraph 34 to\n               paragraph 36 of this resolution, and to continuously adjust this deployment according\n               to the progresses made in the implementation of this mandate;\n                     38. Recalls the decision taken by the Security Council in its resolution 2566\n               to increase the authorized size of MINUSCA’s military component by 2,750 and to\n               increase the authorized size of MINUSCA’s police component by 940, welcomes the\n               deployment of some of the reinforcement thus decided, stresses the need for the rest\n               of these reinforcements to be deployed as quickly as possible, especially quick\n               reaction forces, and sequenced through a phased approach, and recalls the importance\n               of cooperation between MINUSCA and the CAR authorities in line with its mandate;\n                    39. Reiterates its concern at the continuing lack of key capabilities for\n               MINUSCA and the need to fill gaps, as well as the importance of current and future\n               troop and police contributing countries (T/PCCs) providing troops and police with\n               adequate capabilities, equipment and predeployment training, including with regards\n               to explosive ordnance threat mitigation, in order to enhance the capacity of\n               MINUSCA to operate effectively in an increasingly complex security environment;\n                     40.

piracy attacks off the coast of Somalia\n               in the prior 12 months, and noting that joint counter-piracy efforts have resulted in a\n               steady decline in pirate attacks as well as in hijackings since 2011, with no successful\n               ship hijackings for ransom reported off the coast of Somalia since March 2017\n               however, recognizing the ongoing threat that resurgent piracy and armed robbery at\n               sea poses, noting the letter of 2 December 2021 from the Permanent Representative\n               of the Permanent Mission of Somalia to the United Nations requesting international\n               assistance to counter piracy off its coast, and recalling reports of the Secretary\n               General and communiqués of the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia\n               (CGPCS), which continue to illustrate that piracy off the coast of Somalia has been\n               repressed but not eradicated, and commending countries and organizations that have\n               deployed naval counter-piracy missions in the region to suppress piracy and protect\n               ships transiting through the waters off the coast of Somalia and the region,\n                     Reaffirming that international law, as reflected in the United Nations\n               Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 (“The Convention”), sets out\n               the legal framework within which all activities in the oceans and seas must be carried\n               out, including countering piracy and armed robbery at sea,\n\n\n\n\n21-17997 (E)\n*2117997*\n\nS/RES/2608 (2021)\n\n                     Recognizing the need and commending the efforts of States, including in\n               particular States in the

figures of criminal networks involved in piracy including those who\n               plan, organize, facilitate or illicitly finance or profit from such attacks, and reiterating\n               its concern over persons suspected of piracy having been released without facing\n               justice, or released prematurely, reaffirming that the failure to prosecute persons\n               responsible for acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia\n               undermines anti-piracy efforts,\n                     Welcoming the work of the CGPCS and the Law Enforcement Task Force\n               (LETF) to facilitate the prosecution of suspected pirates and facilitators, and\n               international efforts to coordinate the work of investigators and prosecutors, inter alia,\n               through the LETF and collect and share information to disrupt the pirate enterprise,\n               as exemplified by INTERPOL’s Global Database on Maritime

Reaffirming international condemnation of acts of kidnapping and hostagetaking, including offences contained within the International Convention against the\n           Taking of Hostages, and expressing serious concern at the inhumane conditions\n           hostages face in captivity, and noting the importance of cooperation between Member\n           States on the issue of hostage-taking and the prosecution of suspected pirates for\n           taking hostages,\n                 Welcoming the readiness of the Federal Government of Somalia and Federal\n           Member States to cooperate with each other and with States who have prosecuted\n           suspected pirates with a view to enabling convicted pirates to be repatriated back to\n           Somalia under suitable prisoner transfer arrangements, consistent with applicable\n           international law, including international human rights law, to serve the full terms of\n           their sentences, but expresses serious concern regarding the premature release of any\n           convicted prisoners returned from Seychelles to Somalia and reiterates that sentences\n           served must be those

that peace and stability within Somalia, the strengthening of State\n           institutions, economic and social development, and respect for human rights and the\n           rule of law are necessary to create the conditions for a durable eradication of piracy\n           and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, and further emphasizing that\n           Somalia’s long-term security rests with the effective development by Somali\n           authorities of the Somali Coast Guard and Maritime Police Units, Somali National\n           Army, and Somali Police Force,\n                Determining that the incidents of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast\n           of Somalia, as well as the activity of pirate groups in Somalia, are an important factor\n\n\n21-17997                                                                                                        3/7\n\nS/RES/2608 (2021)\n\n               exacerbating the situation in

Reiterates that it condemns and deplores all acts of piracy and armed\n               robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia;\n                     2.     While noting improvements in Somalia, recognizes that piracy exacerbates\n               instability in Somalia by introducing large amounts of illicit cash that fuels additional\n               crime, corruption, and terrorism;\n                     3.   Stresses the need for a comprehensive response to prevent and suppress\n               piracy and tackle its underlying causes by the international community in\n               collaboration with Somali authorities and other relevant actors, and encourages\n               Member States to continue to cooperate with Somali authorities in the fight again st\n               piracy and armed robbery at sea, without impeding the exercise of high seas freedoms\n               or other navigational rights and freedoms by ships of any State, consistent with\n               international law, as reflected in UNCLOS;\n                    4.     Underlines the primary responsibility of the Somali authorities in the fight\n               against piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, values the recent\n               launch of the Department of Somali Maritime Administration, and welcomes the\n               National Maritime Coordination Committee (NMCC) meeting convened by the FGS\n               to initiate a mapping process of all maritime activities, including international\n               support;\n                     5.

Calls upon the Somali authorities to interdict, and upon interdiction to\n               have mechanisms in place to safely return effects seized by pirates, investigate and\n               prosecute pirates and to patrol the waters off the coast of Somalia to prevent and\n               suppress acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea;\n                     7.   Calls upon the Somali authorities to make all efforts to bring to justice\n               those who are using Somali territory to plan, facilitate, or undertake criminal acts of\n               piracy and armed robbery at sea, and calls upon Member Stat es to assist Somalia, at\n               the request of Somali authorities and with notification to the Secretary -General, to\n               strengthen maritime capacity in Somalia, including regional authorities and, stresses\n               that any measures undertaken pursuant to this paragraph shal l be consistent with\n               applicable international law, in particular international human rights law;\n                    8.     Encourages the Federal Government of Somalia to accede to the United\n               Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, and develop a\n               corresponding legal architecture as part of its efforts to target money laundering and\n               financial support structures on which piracy networks survive;\n                    9.    Calls upon States to cooperate, as appropriate, on the issue of hostage\n               taking, and the prosecution of suspected pirates for taking hostages;\n                    10. Recognizes the need for Member States, international and regional\n               organizations, and other appropriate partners to exchange evidence and information\n               for anti-piracy law enforcement purposes with a view to ensuring effectiv e arrest,\n\n\n4/7                                                                                                         21-17997\n\n                                                                                                     S/RES/2608 (2021)\n\n           prosecution of suspected, and imprisonment of convicted pirates and key figures of\n           criminal networks involved in piracy who plan, organize, facilitate, or illicitly finance\n           and profit from piracy operations, and keeps under review the possibility of applying\n           targeted sanctions against individuals or entities that plan, organize, facilitate, or\n           illicitly finance or profit from piracy operations if they meet the listing criteria set out\n           in paragraph 43 of resolution 2093 (2013), and calls upon all States to cooperate fully\n           with the Panel of Experts on Somalia, including on information -sharing regarding\n           possible violations of the arms embargo or charcoal ban;\n                11.

and that humanitarian actors continue to provide assistance to\n               210,000 people in the Abyei Area, and further bearing in mind that support to\n               livelihoods and resilience

counter the ways that ISIL, Al-Qaida and\n           associated individuals, groups, undertakings and entities use their narratives to incite\n           and recruit others to commit terrorist acts, and further recalling in this regard\n           resolution 2354 (2017) and the “Comprehensive International Framework to Counter\n           Terrorist Narratives” (S/2017/375) with recommended

zones of armed conflict, returning to their countries of origin, transiting through,\n           traveling to or relocating to or from other Member States, and encouraging Member\n           States to

Recalls its decision that when the designating State submits a delisting\n           request, the requirement for States to take the measures described in paragraph 1 of\n           this resolution shall terminate with respect to that individual, group, undertaking or\n           entity after 60 days unless the Committee decides by consensus before the end of that\n           60-day period that the measures shall remain in place with respect to that individual,\n           group, undertaking or entity; provided that, in cases where consensus does not exist,\n           the Chair shall, on the request of a Committee Member, submit the question of\n           whether to delist that individual, group, undertaking or entity to the Security Council\n           for a decision within a period of 60 days; and provided further that, in the event of\n           such a request, the requirement for States to take the measures described in paragraph\n           1 of this resolution shall remain in force for that period with respect to that individual,\n           group, undertaking or entity until the question is decided by the Security Council;\n                73. Also recalls its decision that the Committee may, by consensus, shorten\n           the 60-day period referred to in paragraph 72 on a case-by-case basis;\n                 74. Further recalls its decision that, for purposes of submitting a delisting\n           request in paragraph 72, consensus must exist between or among all designating\n           States in cases where there are multiple designating States; and further recalls its\n           decision that co-sponsors of listing requests shall not be considered designating States\n           for purposes of paragraph 65;\n                 75. Strongly urges designating States to allow the Ombudsperson to reveal\n           their identities as designating States to those listed individuals and entities that have\n           submitted delisting petitions to the Ombudsperson;\n                 76. Directs the Committee to continue to work, in accordance with its\n           guidelines, to consider delisting requests of Member States for the removal from the\n           ISIL (Da’esh) & Al-Qaida Sanctions List of individuals, groups, undertakings and\n           entities that are alleged to no longer meet the criteria established in the relevant\n           resolutions, and set out in paragraph 2 of this resolution, and strongly urges Member\n           States to provide reasons for submitting their delisting requests;\n                 77. Encourages States to submit delisting requests for individuals who are\n           officially confirmed to be dead, and for entities reported or confirmed to have ceased\n           to exist, while at the same time taking all reasonable measures to ensure that assets\n           that had belonged to these individuals or entities will not be transferred or distributed\n           to other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities on the ISIL (Da’esh) &\n           Al-Qaida Sanctions List or any other Security Council sanctions list;\n                 78. Encourages Member States, when unfreezing the assets of a deceased\n           individual or an entity that is reported or confirmed to have ceased to exist as a result\n           of a delisting, to recall the obligations set forth in resolution 1373 (2001) and,\n           particularly, to prevent unfrozen assets from being used for terrorist purposes;\n                 79. Reaffirms that, prior to the unfreezing of any assets that have been frozen\n           as a result of the listing of Usama bin Laden, Member States shall submit to the\n           Committee a request to unfreeze such assets and shall provide assurances to t he\n           Committee that the assets will not be transferred, directly or indirectly, to a listed\n           individual, group, undertaking or entity, or otherwise used for terrorist purposes in\n           line with Security Council resolution 1373 (2001), and decides further that such assets\n           may only be unfrozen in the absence of an objection by a Committee member within\n\n21-19270                                                                                                        17/31\n\nS/RES/2610 (2021)\n\n\n               30 days of receiving the request, and stresses the exceptional nature of this provision,\n               which shall not be considered as establishing a precedent;\n                     80. Calls upon the Committee when considering delisting requests to give due\n               consideration to the opinions of designating State(s), State(s) of residence,\n               nationality, location or incorporation, and other relevant States as determined by the\n               Committee, directs Committee members to provide their reasons for objecting to\n               delisting requests at the time the request is objected to, and requests the Committee\n               to provide reasons to relevant Member States and national and regional courts and\n               bodies, upon request and where appropriate;\n                     81. Encourages all Member States, including designating States and States of\n               residence, nationality, location or incorporation to provide all information to the\n               Committee relevant to the Committee’s review of delisting petitions, and to meet with\n               the Committee, if requested, to convey their views on delisting requests, calls upon\n               the Ombudsperson to provide a copy of the Comprehensive Report to member states\n               that participate in the delisting review process, and for the Committee Chair to invite\n               these member states to the committee meeting where the Comprehensive Report is\n               discussed, and further encourages the Committee, where appropriate, to meet with\n               representatives of national or regional organizations and bodies that have relevant\n               information on delisting petitions;\n                     82. Confirms that the Secretariat shall, within three days after a name is\n               removed from the ISIL (Da’esh) & Al-Qaida Sanctions List, notify the Permanent\n               Mission of the State(s) of residence, nationality, location or incorporation (to the\n               extent this information is known), and recalls its decision that States receiving such\n               notification shall take measures, in accordance with their domestic laws and practices,\n               to notify or inform the concerned individual, group, undertaking or entity of the\n               delisting in a timely manner;\n                     83. Reaffirms that, in cases in which the Ombudsperson is unable to interview\n               a petitioner in his or her state of residence, the Ombudsperson may request, with the\n               agreement of the petitioner, that the Committee consider granting exemptions to the\n               restrictions on assets and travel in paragraphs 1 (a) and (b) of this resolution for the\n               sole purpose of allowing the petitioner to meet travel expenses and travel to anothe r\n               State to be interviewed by the Ombudsperson for a period no longer than necessary\n               to participate in this interview, provided that all States of transit and destination do\n               not object to such travel, and further directs the Committee to notify the\n               Ombudsperson of the Committee’s decision;\n\n               Exemptions/Focal Point\n                    84. Recalls that the assets freeze measures outlined in paragraph 1 above shall\n               not apply to funds and other financial assets or economic resources that the\n               Committee determines to be:\n                      (a) necessary for basic expenses, including payment for foodstuffs, rent or\n               mortgage, medicines and medical treatment, taxes, insurance premiums, and public\n               utility charges, or exclusively for payment of reasonable professional fees and\n               reimbursement of incurred expenses associated with the provision of legal services,\n               or fees or service charges for routine holding or maintenance of frozen funds or other\n               financial assets or economic resources, following notification of intention to\n               authorize access to such funds and in the absence of a negative decision by the\n               Committee within 3 working days of the notification;\n                    (b) necessary for extraordinary expenses, being expenses other than basic\n               expenses, following notification of the intention to authorize release of such funds\n               and approval of the Committee of the request within 5 working days of the\n\n18/31                                                                                                     21-19270\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2610 (2021)\n\n\n           notification, and where appropriate, there should be specific periods of time requested\n           by the notifying Member States for such expenses;\n                 85. Decides that in order to ensure careful consideration of requests for basic\n           and extraordinary exemptions from the assets freeze submitted under paragraphs 84 (a)\n           and 84 (b), the Committee, through the Secretariat, will immediately acknowledge\n           receipt of the request, except in instances where the information provided is\n           insufficient, in which case the Secretariat will inform that a decision cannot be taken\n           until such information is provided;\n                86. Reaffirms that the Focal Point mechanism established in resolution 1730\n           (2006) may:\n                 (a) Receive requests from listed individuals, groups, undertakings, and\n           entities for exemptions to the measures outlined in paragraph 1 (a) of this resolution,\n           as defined in resolution 1452 (2002) provided that the request has first been submitted\n           for the consideration of the State of residence and any other State where assets subject\n           to the exemption request are held, and reaffirms further that the Focal Point shall\n           transmit such requests to the Committee for a decision, directs the Committee to\n           consider such requests, including in consultation with the State of residence and any\n           other relevant States, and further directs the Committee, through the Focal Point, to\n           notify such individuals, groups, undertaking or entities of the Committee’s decision;\n                 (b) Receive requests from listed individuals for exemptions to the measures\n           outlined in paragraph 1 (b) of this resolution and transmit these to the Committe e to\n           determine, on a case-by-case basis, whether entry or transit is justified, directs the\n           Committee to consider such requests in consultation with States of transit and\n           destination and any other relevant States, and reaffirms further that the Committee\n           shall only agree to exemptions to the measures in paragraph 1 (b) of this resolution\n           with the agreement of the States of transit and destination, and further directs the\n           Committee, through the Focal Point, to notify such individuals of the Committee’s\n           decision;\n                  87.

Directs the Committee to review whether these listings remain\n               appropriate, and further directs the Committee to remove listings if it decides they\n               are no longer appropriate;\n                     92. Directs the Monitoring Team to refer to the Chair for review listings for\n               which, after three years, no relevant State has responded in writing to the Committee’s\n               requests for information, and in this regard, reminds the Committee that its Chair,\n               acting in his or her capacity as Chair, may submit names for removal from the ISIL\n               (Da’esh) & Al-Qaida Sanctions List, as appropriate and subject to the Committee’s\n               normal decision-making procedures;\n\n               Coordination and outreach\n                     93.

Upon completion of the period of engagement described above, the\n           Ombudsperson, shall draft and circulate to the Committee a Comprehensive Report\n           that will exclusively:\n                 (a) Summarize and, as appropriate, specify the sources of, all information\n           available to the Ombudsperson that is relevant to the delisting request.

The recommendation should state the\n           Ombudsperson’s views with respect to the listing as of the time of the examination of\n           the delisting request.\n\n           Committee discussion\n           9.     After the Committee has had fifteen days to review the Comprehensive Report\n           in all official languages of the United Nations, the Chair of the Committee shall place\n           the delisting request on the Committee’s agenda for consideration.\n           10. When the Committee considers the delisting request, the Ombudsperson, shal l\n           present the Comprehensive Report in person and answer Committee members’\n           questions regarding the request.\n           11. Committee consideration of the Comprehensive Report shall be completed no\n           later than thirty days from the date the Comprehensive Report is subm itted to the\n           Committee for its review.\n           12. After the Committee has completed its consideration of the Comprehensive\n           Report, the Ombudsperson may notify all relevant States of the recommendation.\n           13. Upon completion of the Comprehensive Report, the Ombudsperson will provide\n           a copy to those non-Security Council members who participated in the delisting\n           review process, along with a notification to such States confirming that:\n                (a) The Comprehensive Report reflects the basis for the Ombudsperson’s\n           recommendation and is not attributable to any individual Committee member; and\n                 (b) The Comprehensive Report, and any information contained therein, should\n           be treated as strictly confidential and not shared with the petitioner or any other\n           Member State without the approval of the Committee.\n           14. Upon the request of a designating State, State of nationality, residence, or\n           incorporation, and with the approval of the Committee, the Ombudsperson may\n           provide a copy of the Comprehensive Report, with any redactions deemed necessary\n           by the Committee, to such States, along with a notification to such States confirming\n           that:\n               (a) All decisions to release information from the Ombudsperson’s\n           Comprehensive Reports, including the scope of information, are made by the\n           Committee at its discretion and on a case-by-case basis;\n                (b) The Comprehensive Report reflects the basis for the Ombudsperson’s\n           recommendation and is not attributable to any individual Committee member; and\n\n\n\n\n21-19270                                                                                                    29/31\n\nS/RES/2610 (2021)\n\n\n                     (c) The Comprehensive Report, and any information contained therein, should\n               be treated as strictly confidential and not shared with the petitioner or any other\n               Member State without the approval of the Committee.\n               15. In cases where the Ombudsperson recommends retaining the listing, the\n               requirement for States to take the measures in paragraph 1 of this resolution shall\n               remain in place with respect to that individual, group, undertaking or entity, unless a\n               Committee member submits a delisting request, which the Committee shall consider\n               under its normal consensus procedures.\n               16. In cases where the Ombudsperson recommends that the Committee consider\n               delisting, the requirement for States to take the measures described in paragraph 1 of\n               this resolution shall terminate with respect to that individual, group, undertaking or\n               entity 60 days after the Committee completes consideration of a Comprehensive\n               Report of the Ombudsperson, in accordance with this annex II, including paragraph 7\n               (h), unless the Committee decides by consensus before the end of that 60-day period\n               that the requirement shall remain in place with respect to that individual, group ,\n               undertaking or entity; provided that, in cases where consensus does not exist, the\n               Chair shall, on the request of a Committee Member, submit the question of whether\n               to delist that individual, group, undertaking or entity to the Security Council for a\n               decision within a period of 60 days; and provided further that, in the event of such a\n               request, the requirement for States to take the measures described in paragraph 1 of\n               this resolution shall remain in force for that period with respect to that individual,\n               group, undertaking or entity until the question is decided by the Security Council.\n               17. Following the conclusion of the process described in paragraphs 64 and 65 of\n               this resolution, the Committee shall convey, within 60 days, to the Ombudsperson,\n               whether the measures described in paragraph 1 are to be retained or terminated, and\n               approve an updated narrative summary of reasons for listing, where appropriate. In\n               cases where the Committee informs the Ombudsperson that it has followed his or her\n               recommendation, the Ombudsperson immediately informs the Petitioner of the\n               Committee’s decision and submits to the Committee, for its review, a summary of the\n               analysis contained in the Comprehensive Report. The Committee reviews the\n               summary within 30 days of the decision to retain or terminate the listing, and\n               communicates its views on the summary to the Ombudsperson. The purpose of the\n               Committee’s review is to address any security concerns, including to review if any\n               information confidential to the Committee is inadvertently included in the summary.\n               Following the Committee’s review, the Ombudsperson transmits the summary to the\n               Petitioner. The summary shall accurately describe the principal reasons for the\n               recommendation of the Ombudsperson, as reflected in the analysis of the\n               Ombudsperson. In his or her communication with the Petitioner, the Ombudsperson\n               will specify that the summary of the analysis does not reflect the views of the\n               Committee or of any of its members. In cases where the listing is retained, the\n               summary of the analysis shall cover all the arguments for delisting by the Petitioner\n               to which the Ombudsperson responded. In cases of delisting, the summary shall\n               include the key points of the analysis of the Ombudsperson. In cases where the\n               Committee informs the Ombudsperson that it has not followed his or her\n               recommendation or that the Chair has submitted the question to the Security Council\n               under paragraph 16 of this Annex, the Committee communicates to the\n               Ombudsperson, within 30 days of its decision or the Council’s decision, the reasons\n               for this decision for transmission to the Petitioner. These reasons shall respond to the\n               principal arguments of the Petitioner.\n               18. After the Ombudsperson receives the communication from the committee under\n               paragraph 17 of Annex II, if the measures in paragraph 1 are to be retained, the\n\n\n\n30/31                                                                                                     21-19270\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/2610 (2021)\n\n\n           Ombudsperson shall send to the petitioner, with an advance copy sent to the\n           Committee, a letter that:\n                 (a)   Communicates the outcome of the petition;\n                (b) Describes, to the extent possible and drawing upon the Ombudsperson’s\n           Comprehensive Report, the process and publicly releasable factual information\n           gathered by the Ombudsperson; and\n                 (c) Forwards from the Committee all information about the decision provided\n           to the Ombudsperson pursuant to paragraph 17 of Annex II above.\n           19.

                 Gravely concerned that the illicit transfer, destabilizing accumulation and\n               misuse of small arms and light weapons in many regions of the world continue to\n               pose threats to international peace and security, cause significant loss of life,\n               contribute to instability and insecurity and continue to undermine the effectiveness of\n               the Security Council in discharging its primary responsibility for the maintenance of\n               international peace and security,\n                     Concerned that illicit trafficking and diversion of arms and related materiel of\n               all types undermine the rule of law and human rights, and has the potential to\n               undermine the respect for international

Recognizing that arms embargoes are, inter alia, aimed at preventing illicit flows\n               of arms, including small arms and light weapons, and related materiel to confli ct\n               situations that the Security Council has determined to be a threat to international\n               peace and security, and therefore contribute to respect for international humanitarian\n               law, the safety of and preventing the endangerment of civilians, including the\n               disproportionate impact on women, such as exacerbating sexual and gender-based\n

violation\n           of Council-mandated embargoes, and recognizing the importance of women’s full,\n           equal and meaningful participation in all such efforts,\n               Taking note of the recommendations in the Secretary-General’s report to the\n           Council of 30 September 2021 entitled “Small arms and light weapons” ( S/2021/839),\n                 1.   Resolves to consider, on a case-by-case basis and when appropriate, during\n           the renewal of mandates of peace operations that coincide where arms embargoes\n           have been mandated by the Security Council, whether and how the pe ace operations\n           could support relevant national authorities in combating the illicit transfer and\n           diversion of arms in violation of the arms embargoes in their respective areas of\n           operation;\n                 2.    Also encourages its peace operations and relevant United Nations entities\n           to assist in reinforcing capacities of host nation authorities, at their request, in data\n           collection and training to counter the illicit transfer of arms and related materiel of\n           all types, where appropriate and consistent with their mandates;\n                  3.   Emphasizes that the capacity of States under Council-mandated embargoes\n           to exert effective control over their existing arms and ammunition stockpiles and\n           future imports with a view to preventing such weapons from being diverted to the\n           illicit market will be duly considered by the Council when evaluating the possible\n           lifting of an arms embargo;\n                 4.    Stresses that subject to the particular exemptions to each arms embargo,\n           arms and related materiel of all types that are supplied, sold or transferred as secur ity\n           or disarmament assistance under exemptions should not be resold to, transferred to,\n           or in other ways made available for use by parties other than the designated end user\n           or other users explicitly permitted under the relevant embargo, and should not hav e\n           end uses other than those specified or otherwise explicitly permitted under the\n           relevant embargo;\n                5.    Encourages, as a best practice, the establishment of baseline arms\n           inventories by States under Council-mandated embargoes, as well as arms marking\n           and registration systems, in situations where a United Nations arms embargo\n           coincides with disarmament, demobilization and reintegration efforts;\n                6.   Encourages Member States to ensure adequate marking and recordkeeping measures are in place to trace arms, including small arms and light weapons,\n\n\n21-19549                                                                                                         3/4\n\nS/RES/2616 (2021)\n\n               as required by the international and regional instruments to which they are parties,\n               and consider how best to assist, where relevant and upon their request, neighboring\n               countries of States under Council-mandated embargoes in preventing and detecting\n               illicit trafficking and diversion in violation of embargoes;\n                    7.   Encourages regional land, air, and maritime cooperation, as applicable, to\n               detect and prevent violations of Council-mandated arms embargoes as well as to\n               report cases of violations in a timely manner to the corresponding sanctions\n               committees;\n                     8.    Requests the full cooperation of Member States, in particular those under\n               Council-mandated arms embargoes, with the corresponding Panel of Experts, and\n               further stresses the importance of allowing such Panels of Experts, whenever and\n               wherever possible, to conduct inspections, or to be provided with samples, of seized\n               military equipment transferred illicitly in contravention of the respective embargoes;\n                     9.   Affirms its resolve to designate, where appropriate and under applicable\n               sanctions regimes, those individuals who have been involved in activities prohibited\n               by Council-mandated embargoes;\n                     10. Encourages Member States to undertake due diligence measures\n               concerning the export of the commercially-available components of weapons systems\n               to States under Council-mandated embargoes that may be used by designated\n               individuals and entities or armed groups in contravention of the respective embargoes;\n                    11. Encourages Member States, as well as relevant international\n               organizations, in a position to do so, to provide capacity building and the training of\n               national customs, border control, and other such relevant agencies, to carry out\n               inspections regarding Council-mandated embargoes;\n                     12. Recognizes the value of Member States’ engagement with the private\n               sector and other relevant stakeholders and sharing information about the\n               implementation of the provisions and obligations contained in resolutions\n               establishing arms embargoes;\n                     13. Requests the Secretary-General to consider recommendations in his\n               regular country specific reporting to the Security Council, as and when appropriate,\n               on tasks that could be performed by peace operations and relevant UN entities that\n               coincide where arms embargoes have been mandated by the Security Council, in\n               accordance with their mandates, to provide assistance to relevant national authorities,\n               inter alia, in monitoring of said embargoes, identification of illicit sources of arms,\n               and tracing seized, found and surrendered arms, as well as tasks to support relevant\n               sanctions committee expert panels;\n                    14.

environments\n               where human rights are respected and efforts to rehabilitate and reinte grate convicted\n               terrorists are made, and noting the work in this regard of UNODC, UNICRI, and other\n               relevant stakeholders,\n                     Expressing concern regarding the connection, in some cases, between terrorism\n               and transnational organized crime, including illicit trafficking in drugs, arms, and\n               persons, as well as money-laundering, and the trafficking in cultural property, and\n               emphasizing the need to enhance coordination of efforts at the local, national,\n               subregional, regional, and international levels to respond t o this serious challenge, in\n               accordance with international law, and in the context of criminal justice and law\n               enforcement systems with full respect for human rights, fundamental freedoms, and\n               the rule of law,\n                     Stressing the need to effectively counter the ways that ISIL, Al-Qaida, and\n               associated individuals, groups, undertakings and entities use their narratives to incite\n               and recruit others to commit terrorist acts, and further recalling in this regard\n               resolution 2354 (2017) and the “Comprehensive International Framework to Counter\n               Terrorist Narratives” (S/2017/375) with recommended guidelines and good practices,\n                      Reiterating the obligation of Member States to prevent and suppress the\n

             intention that the funds should be used, or in the knowledge that they are to be used,\n               in order to carry out terrorist acts, and reaffirming also the obligation of Member\n               States to freeze without delay funds and other financial assets or economic resources\n               of persons or entities who commit, or attempt to commit terrorist acts or participate\n               in or facilitate the commission of terrorist acts, and reaffirming further the obligation\n               of Member States to prohibit their nationals or any persons and

knowingly\n           support, terrorists or terrorist organizations, taking into account the specifics of the\n           case,\n                 Condemning the destruction of cultural heritage by terrorist groups, whether\n           such destruction is incidental or deliberate, and reemphasizing that the unlawful\n           destruction of cultural heritage, and the looting and smuggling of cultural property by\n           terrorist groups, and the attempt to deny historical roots and cultural diversity in this\n           context can fuel and exacerbate conflict and hamper post-conflict national\n           reconciliation, thereby undermining the security, stability, governance, social,\n           economic and cultural development of affected States,\n                 Noting the

Urges States to cooperate fully with the Mechanism;\n                    3.    Continues to urge all States, especially States where fugitives are\n               suspected of being at large, to intensify their cooperation with and render all\n               necessary assistance to the Mechanism, in particular to achieve the arrest and\n               surrender of all remaining fugitives indicted by the ICTR as soon as possible and to\n               cooperate to enforce sentences pronounced by the ICTR, ICTY and the Mechanism,\n               and welcomes the continuing support already provided by States in this regard;\n                     4.    Notes with concern that despite reaching an earlier agreement, the\n               Mechanism continues to face problems in the relocation of acquitted persons and\n               convicted persons who have completed serving their sentence, emphasises the\n               importance of finding expeditious and durable solutions to these problems, including\n               as part of a reconciliation process, encourages all efforts to that end, and, in this\n               regard, reiterates its call upon all States to cooperate with and render all necessary\n               assistance to the Mechanism;\n                     5.    Notes that decisions on the relocation of persons who have been acquitted\n               or completed their sentences should take into account inter alia the readiness of the\n               state of origin to accept its nationals, the consent or any objections raised by the\n               individuals to be relocated and the availability of other reloca tion states;\n                     6.    Takes note of the recent judgments of the Mechanism and developments in\n               locating fugitives, commends the cooperation between the Mechanism, States and\n               international organisations, which contributed to these developments, and recognises\n               these as important steps of cooperation with the Mechanism, in accordance with\n               paragraph 3 of resolution 2529 (2020); and further notes the Prosecutor’s findings on\n               12 May 2022 and on 18 May 2022 of the deaths of Protais Mpiranya on 5 October\n               2006 and Phénéas Munyarugarama on 28 February 2002 respectively, that Mpiranya\n               was the last fugitive of the ICTR expected to be tried before the Mechanism, and that\n               the remaining four fugitives indicted by the ICTR re main at large and are expected to\n               be tried by Rwanda, subject to the conditions set out in the relevant referral decisions;\n                     7.    Emphasises that, in view of the substantially reduced nature of the residual\n               functions, the Mechanism was established to be a small, temporary and efficient\n               structure, whose functions and size will diminish over time, with a small number of\n               staff commensurate with its reduced functions, and, recognising in this regard the full\n               commitment to these elements expressed by the Mechanism , requests the Mechanism\n               to continue to be guided in its activities by these elements;\n                     8.   Welcomes the report (S/2022/319) submitted by the Mechanism to the\n               Council pursuant to its Presidential Statement (S/PRST/2022/2) for the purposes of\n               the review of the progress of the work of the Mechanism, including in completing its\n               functions, as required by paragraph 17 of resolution 1966 (2010), and the report of\n               the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) on the evaluation of the methods\n               and work of the Mechanism (S/2022/148), taking note of the OIOS’s conclusions on\n               the Mechanism’s implementation of the OIOS recommendations and paragraph 9 of\n               resolution 2529(2020);\n\n\n2/3                                                                                                        22-09854\n\n                                                                                                 S/RES/2637 (2022)\n\n                 9.    Takes note of the work of the Mechanism to date, in particular\n           development of a legal and regulatory framework, procedures, and working practices\n           consistent with the Statute of the Mechanism and drawing on lessons learned from\n           and best practices of the ICTY and ICTR and of other tribunals, including use of\n           rosters to ensure judges are utilized only when required, enabling judges to work\n           remotely to the maximum extent possible, and minimizing the need for full bench\n           participation in pre-trial and pre-appeal hearing work, in order to produce substantial\n           reductions in the costs of judicial activities compared to those of the ICTY and ICTR,\n           and commends the Mechanism for its efforts to produce such reductions;\n                  10. Notes further the views and recommendations made with regard to the\n           Mechanism’s work by the Council’s Informal Working Group on International\n           Tribunals, as reflected in this resolution, and requests the Mechanism to take into\n           account those views and implement the recommendations, and to continue to take\n           steps to further enhance efficiency and effective and transparent management, in\n           particular: (i) full implementation of the outstanding recommendations of the OIOS;\n           (ii) production of clear and focused projections of completion timelines for all of the\n           Mechanism’s activities including, in particular, in relation to ongoing cases and the\n           supervision of the enforcement of sentences at the earliest stage possible and\n           disciplined adherence thereto; (iii) continued ensuring of geographic diversity and\n           gender balance of staff, while ensuring continued professional expertise;\n           (iv) continued implementation of a human resources policy consistent with its\n           temporary mandate; (v) further reduction of costs, including through, but not limited\n           to, flexible staff engagement; and (vi) coordination and information sharing across\n           the three organs of the Mechanism on matters that affected them equally in order to\n           ensure systematic thinking and planning about the future;\n                11. Calls upon the Mechanism, as part of its completion strategy, to provide\n           options regarding the transfer of its remaining activities in du e course;\n                 12. Reiterates its request to the Mechanism to include in its six-monthly\n           reports to the Council information on progress achieved in implementing this\n           resolution, as well as detailed information on the staffing and overall posts of the\n           Mechanism, respective workload and related costs with breakdown by division and\n           detailed projections of the duration of residual functions based on available data;\n                13. Recalls the importance of ensuring the rights of persons detained on the\n           authority of the Mechanism in accordance with applicable international standards,\n           including those related to health care;\n                14. Recalls its encouragement to the Mechanism in resolution 2422 (2018) to\n           consider an appropriate solution to the approach to early release of persons convicted\n           by the ICTR, and notes that during the review period from 1 July 2018 to 30 June\n           2020, conditions on early release in appropriate cases were put in place and the\n           Mechanism refined procedures in this regard;\n                 15. Notes the conclusion of the Council’s review of the progress of the work\n           of the Mechanism, including in completing its functions, since the last review of the\n           Mechanism in June 2020, pursuant to resolution 1966 (2010);\n                16. Recalls, with a view to strengthening independent oversight of the\n           Mechanism, that, as set out in its Presidential Statement ( S/PRST/2022/2), future\n           reviews carried out pursuant to paragraph 17 of resolution 1966 (2010) shall include\n           evaluation reports sought from the OIOS with respect to the methods and work of the\n           Mechanism;\n                17.

           work, to remain available to assist the sides,\n                     Underscoring that the responsibility for finding a solution lies first and foremost\n               with the Cypriots

status quo is unsustainable, that the\n               situation on the ground is not static, and that the lack of an agreement furthers political\n               tensions and deepens the estrangement

further,\n                     Expressing concern at the continued deterioration of the law and order situation\n               in Pyla, welcoming the establishment of an extension of the existing

Reiterating the importance of confidence-building measures and their timely\n               implementation, and encouraging the sides to continue engaging with each other in\n               this regard, including to consider new military confidence building measures,\n                     Urging the sides to step up their efforts to promote intercommunal contacts,\n               intra-island trade, reconciliation and the active engagement of civil society, in\n               particular women and youth, and recognising that regular, effective contact and\n               communication between the sides enhances the prospects for settlement and is in the\n               interests of all Cypriots, and helps to address island-wide matters, including health,\n               crime,

of Cyprus is agreed that in view of the prevailing\n               conditions on the island it is necessary to keep the United Nations Peacekeeping Force\n               in Cyprus (UNFICYP) beyond 31 July 2022,\n                     Welcoming measures to date to strengthen the liaison and engagement capacity\n               of the mission, noting the importance of transition planning in relation to the\n               settlement and in line with resolution 2594 (2021) and other relevant resolutions, and\n               emphasising the need to review regularly all peacekeeping operations, including\n               UNFICYP, to ensure efficiency and effectiveness,\n                   Expressing appreciation to Member States that contribute personnel to\n               UNFICYP, and noting

Regrets the ongoing lack of meaningful participation of women’s\n               organisations and youth in the Settlement process, but welcomes the adoption and\n               launch of the Action Plan on women’s full, equal and meaningful participation in the\n               settlement process, to support and encourage engagement with civil society, including\n               women’s organisations and women leaders, and to include a gender perspective in a\n               future settlement process and urges the leaders of both sides to support the Technical\n               Committee on Gender Equality to formulate the next steps for the thorough and\n               effective implementation of all recommendations under the Action Plan, and to\n               review implementation of the plan every six months and provide recommendations as\n               appropriate, and continues to note the Secretary-General’s call to ensure the inclusion\n               of at least 30 per cent women in future delegations;\n                     7.    Deeply regrets the lack of progress on an effective mechanism for direct\n               military contacts between the sides and the relevant involved parties, and urges\n               flexibility and engagement by the sides and the relevant involved parties, facilitated\n               by UNFICYP, to develop a suitably acceptable proposal on the establishment of such\n               a mechanism, and its timely implementation;\n                     8.    Calls upon the sides to reduce existing barriers to intercommunal contact,\n               emphasizes the importance of effective communication for risk-mitigation and trustbuilding between the communities, and in this regard welcomes the continuation of\n               the regular dialogue between the sides and the United Nations, urges the sides to agree\n               and implement further confidence building measures that can contribute to a\n               conducive environment for settlement, including those related to the military,\n               economic cooperation and trade, and including through the work of the Technical\n               Committees, and in this regard reiterates its support for the proposal of the Secretary-General for a dialogue between the parties and the Special Representative to explore\n               a possible agreement on surveillance technology and unmanning of positions adjacent\n               to the buffer zone and regrets the lack of progress in this regard to date;\n                     9.

During this attack, at least 71 people were\n           killed, over 400 houses were destroyed, and at least seven women were raped by\n           armed gangs. Throughout 2018 and 2019, Cherizier led armed groups in coordinated,\n           brutal attacks in Port-au-Prince neighborhoods.

Recalling its resolution 2250 (2015) and related resolutions that recognise the\n               important and positive contribution of youth in efforts for the maintenance and\n

deterioration of the law and order situation\n               in Pyla, welcoming the effective coordination by both sides through the extension of\n               Joint Contact Room to Pyla, and urging both sides to continue to work with UNFICYP\n               to establish effective measures to tackle criminal activities,\n                     Stressing the importance of confidence-building measures and their timely\n               implementation, and strongly encouraging the sides to continue engaging with each\n               other in this regard, including to consider new military confidence building measures,\n                     Urging the sides to step up their efforts to promote intercommunal contacts,\n               intra-island trade, reconciliation and the active engagement of civil society, in\n               particular women and youth, recognising that regular, effective contact and\n               communication between the sides enhances the prospects for settlement and is in the\n               interests of all Cypriots, and helps to address island -wide matters, including health,\n               crime, environmental protection, economic issues, issues related to the advers e\n               impacts of climate change, and challenges related to migration, welcoming efforts to\n               remove obstacles to intra-island trade and urging both sides to strengthen such efforts,\n                    Noting that the Government of Cyprus is agreed that in view of the prevailing\n               conditions on the island it is necessary to keep the United Nations Peacekeeping Force\n               in Cyprus (UNFICYP) beyond 31 January 2023,\n                     Welcoming measures to date to strengthen the liaison and engagement capacity\n               of the mission, noting the importance of transition planning in relation to the\n               settlement and in line with resolution 2594 (2021) and other relevant resolutions, and\n               emphasising the need to review regularly all peacekeeping operations, including\n               UNFICYP, to ensure efficiency and effectiveness,\n                   Expressing appreciation to Member States that contribute personnel to\n               UNFICYP, and noting the continued voluntary contributions to the funding of\n               UNFICYP by the

                 1.    Reaffirms all its relevant resolutions on Cyprus, in particular resolution\n               1251 (1999) and recalls the importance of achieving an enduring, comprehensive and\n               just settlement based on a bicommunal, bizonal federation with political equality, as\n               set out in relevant Security Council resolutions, including paragraph 4 of its\n               resolution 716 (1991);\n\n\n\n2/7                                                                                                       23-01517\n\n                                                                                                   S/RES/2674 (2023)\n\n                 2.    Fully supports the Secretary-General’s ongoing engagement with the sides\n           and encourages further rounds of informal talks and reiterates the importance of the\n           sides and all involved participants approaching this process in the spirit of openness,\n           flexibility and compromise and showing the necessary political will and commitment\n           to freely negotiate a mutually acceptable settlement under United Nations auspices,\n           and continues to urge the sides to engage actively and without further delay with the\n           Secretary-General and his team to this end, and further urges the sides to reach an\n           agreement regarding the proposal of the Secretary-General to appoint a United\n           Nations envoy, who could provide critical support in the search for common ground\n           with the goal of returning to formal negotiations for a lasting settlement in Cyprus;\n                 3.

Deeply regrets the lack of progress on an effective mechanism for direct\n               military contacts between the sides and the relevant involved parties, and urges\n               flexibility and engagement by the sides and the relevant involved parties, facilitated\n               by UNFICYP, to develop a suitably acceptable proposal on the establishment of such\n               a mechanism, and its timely implementation;\n                     8.    Calls upon the sides to reduce existing barriers to intercommunal contact,\n               emphasizes the importance of effective communication for risk -mitigation and trustbuilding between the communities, and in this regard welcomes the continuation of\n               the regular dialogue between the sides and the United Nations, urges the sides to agree\n               and implement further confidence building measures that can contribute to a\n               conducive environment for settlement, including those related to the military,\n               economic cooperation and trade, and including through the work of the Technical\n               Committees, welcomes the recent increase in trade across the Green Line and\n               encourages further progress in this regard, and reiterates its support for the proposal\n               of the Secretary-General for a dialogue between the parties and the Special\n               Representative to explore a possible agreement on surveillance technology and\n               unmanning of positions adjacent to the buffer zone but continues to regret the lack of\n               progress in this regard to date;\n                     9.    Commends the ongoing work of the Committee on Missing Persons, and\n               calls upon all parties to enhance their cooperation with the Committee’s work, in\n               particular through providing full access without delay to all areas and responding in\n               a timely manner to requests for archival information on possible burial sites;\n                     10.

national unity of the Republic of South Sudan, and recalling the\n               importance of the principles of non-interference, good-neighbourliness, and regional\n               cooperation,\n                    Affirming its support for the 2018 “Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of\n               the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan” (the Rev italised Agreement),\n

   and social development of South Sudan and recommended that in this endeavor\n               UNMISS should provide the required support as needed,\n                    Expressing appreciation for

to enhance international support\n               for South Sudan’s peacebuilding objectives,\n                     Stressing the need for the rapid and transparent assessment of violations by the\n               Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements Monitoring and Verification\n               Mechanism (CTSAMVM), encouraging IGAD to take action on the reports and share\n               the reports with the Security Council rapidly, and noting that the African Union,\n               IGAD, and the United Nations Security Council demanded that parties that violate\n               the Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities, Protection of Civilians, and Humanitarian\n               Access (the ACOH) must be held accountable, appealing to member states for\n               political, logistical and financial support for the RJMEC and the CTSAMVM to\n               enhance their operational capabilities and enhanced diplomatic engagement from\n               RJMEC member states with the government to press for action to hold those\n               accountable when violations are documented,\n                     Expressing grave concern at ongoing reports of sexual and gender-based\n               violence, including the findings of the report of the Secretary -General on Children\n               and armed conflict in South Sudan (S/2023/99) and on Conflict Related Sexual\n               Violence to the Security Council (S/2022/272) of the use of sexual and gender-based\n               violence as a tactic by parties to the conflict against the civilian population in South\n               Sudan, including use of rape and sexual slavery for the purpose of intimidation and\n               punishment, based on perceived political affiliation, and employed as part of a\n               strategy targeting members of ethnic groups, and where sexual and gender-based\n               violence against women and girls has persisted after the signing of the Revitalised\n               Agreement, as documented in the March 2022 report published by UN Commission\n               on Human Rights in South Sudan (CHRSS) on “Conflict-Related Sexual Violence\n               against women and girls in South Sudan”, noting that some progress was observed by\n               South Sudanese parties through implementation of action plans to address sexual\n               violence in conflict, and underlining the urgency and importance of timely\n               investigations to support accountability and the provision of assistance and protection\n               to survivors and victims of sexual and gender-based violence, including conflictrelated sexual violence,\n                     Expressing serious and urgent concern over the

armed conflict, displacement, and food\n           insecurity, condemning the unlawful denial of access by humanitarian personnel to\n           civilians in armed conflict and underlining that the use of starvation of ci vilians as a\n           method of warfare may constitute a war crime, strongly condemning all attacks\n           against humanitarian personnel and facilities that resulted in the deaths of nine\n           personnel in 2022 and five personnel since January 2023, further condemning\n           obstructions by all parties of civilians and humanitarian actors seeking to reach\n           civilians in need of assistance, expressing grave concern at the imposition of taxes\n           and illegal fees which hamper the delivery of humanitarian assistance across the\n

Strongly condemning all human rights violations and abuses and violations of\n           international humanitarian law by all parties, including armed groups and national\n           security forces,

leansing,\n           and crimes against humanity, and expressing concern that despite the signing of the\n           Revitalised Agreement, violations and abuses including those involving sexual and\n           gender-based violence continue to occur, which may amount to international crime s,\n           including war crimes and crimes against humanity,\n                 Reiterating the urgent need to end impunity in South Sudan and to bring to\n           justice all those responsible for violations of international humanitarian law and\n           violations and abuses of human rights, expressing serious concern over the delays in\n           the establishment of transitional justice mechanisms called for in Chapter V of the\n           Revitalised Agreement,\n                 Stressing the importance of transitional justice measures included in Chapter V\n           of the Revitalised Agreement, to end impunity and promote accountability, facilitate\n           national reconciliation and healing, and ensure a sustainable peace, particularly those\n           efforts undertaken by the UN-mandated Commission on Human Rights in South\n           Sudan, and in this regard, recognizing the operationalization of a Gender-Based\n           Violence and Juvenile Court by the Judiciary of South Sudan, and the establishment\n           of mobile courts to combat impunity including for intercommunal violence and\n           human rights abuses and violations involving killings and rape, acknowledging the\n           approval by the Government of South Sudan

 expectation that all credible reports of human rights violations and abuses will be duly\n           considered by any transitional justice mechanisms for South Sudan including those\n

Sudan arising from the illicit transfer, destabilizing\n               accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons, and further expressing\n               concern that illicit trafficking and diversion of arms and related materiel of all types\n               undermine the rule of law, and has the potential to undermine respect for international\n               humanitarian law, can impede the provision of humanitarian assistance and have\n               wide-ranging negative humanitarian and socioeconomic consequences,\n                     Noting the measures adopted by the

or complicit in, or having engaged in,\n               directly or indirectly, actions or policies that threaten the peace, security or stability\n               of South Sudan, may be designated for targeted sanctions, further recalling its\n               willingness to impose targeted sanctions, and stressing the critical importance of\n               effective implementation of the sanctions regime, including its travel ban measures,\n               and the key role that neighboring states, as well as regional and subregional\n               organizations, can play in this regard, encouraging efforts to further enhance\n               cooperation, and reiterating its readiness to consider adjusting measures, including\n               through modifying, suspending, lifting or strengthening measures to respond to the\n               situation,\n                     Emphasizing that persistent barriers to full implementation of resolution 1325\n               (2000), and

        Expressing deep concern that the recent decision by the Taliban to ban Afghan\n               women from working for the United Nations in Afghanistan, in addition to the earlier\n               restrictions that banned Afghan women from working for international and national\n               non-governmental organizations, will negatively and severely i mpact United Nations\n               operations in the country, including the delivery of life-saving assistance and basic\n               services to the most vulnerable, and the ability of the United Nations Assistance\n               Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) to implement fully its mandate, and recalling in\n               this regard Article 8 of the Charter of the United Nations,\n                     Emphasizing that banning Afghan women from working for the United Nations\n               is unprecedented in the history of the United Nations,\n                     Expressing its deep concern regarding the dire economic and humanitarian\n               situation in Afghanistan, including the funding gap for humanitarian operations, at a\n               time when Afghanistan faces a humanitarian crisis with 6 million people one step\n               from famine-like conditions, and recognizing the need to help address the substantial\n               challenges facing Afghanistan’s economy, including through efforts to restore the\n               banking and financial systems, and for strengthened efforts to provide humanitarian\n               assistance and other activities that support basic human needs in Afghan istan,\n                    1.   Condemns the decision by the Taliban to ban Afghan women from working\n               for the United Nations in Afghanistan, which undermines human rights and\n               humanitarian principles;\n                      2.    Calls for the full, equal, meaningful and safe participation of women and\n               girls in Afghanistan, calls upon the Taliban to swiftly reverse the policies and practices\n               that restrict the enjoyment by women and girls of their human rights and fundamental\n               freedoms including related to their access to education, employment, freedom of\n               movement, and women’s full, equal and meaningful participation in public life, and\n               urges all States and organizations to use their influence, in conformity with the Charter\n               of the United Nations, to promote an urgent reversal of these policies and practices;\n                    3.     Reiterates its demand that all parties allow full, rapid, safe, and unhindered\n               humanitarian access for the personnel of United Nations humanitarian agencies, their\n               partners, and other humanitarian actors and providers of basic services, regardless of\n               gender;\n                     4.    Stresses the urgent need to continue addressing the dire economic and\n               humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, and the lack of essential services to the Afghan\n               population and economic and social conditions that can lead to self -reliance and\n               stability in Afghanistan, and recognizes the need to help address the substantial\n               challenges facing Afghanistan’s economy, including through efforts to enable the use\n               of assets belonging to Afghanistan’s Central Bank for the benefit of the Afghan people;\n                     5.    Stresses the critical importance of a continued presence of UNAMA and\n               other United Nations Agencies, Funds and Programmes across Afghanistan, reiterates\n               its full support to the work of UNAMA and the Special Representative of the\n               Secretary-General, and calls upon all relevant Afghan political actors and\n               stakeholders, including relevant authorities as needed, as well as international actors\n               to coordinate with UNAMA in the implementation of its mandate and to ensure the\n               safety, security and freedom of movement of United Nations and associated personnel\n               throughout the country;\n                     6.     Underscores that dialogue, consultation, and engagement among all\n               relevant Afghan stakeholders, the region and the wider international community is\n               critical for a political settlement in Afghanistan, as well as peace and stability in the\n               country, the region and beyond, and in this regard welcomes diplomatic efforts\n               conducive to such a settlement;\n                    7.

condemning harassment, targeting, and censorship of civil society, including\n               journalists, human rights defenders, humanitarian personnel, and media\n               correspondents, emphasizing that those responsible for violations of international\n               humanitarian law and violations and abuses of human rights must be held\n               accountable, and that the Revitalised Transitional Government of National Unity\n               (RTGNU) bears the primary responsibility to protect its population from genocide,\n               war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity, and expressing concern\n               that, despite the signing of the Revitalised Agreement, violations and abuses including\n               those involving gender-based violence continue to occur, which may amount to\n               international crimes, including war crimes and crimes against humanity,\n                     Expressing its alarm and deep concern over continued armed violence against\n               humanitarian workers and facilities, and food convoys that resulted in the deaths of\n               at least 20 humanitarian workers and volunteers and nearly 50 security incidents since\n               January 2023, and the looting and destruction of life-saving assistance, strongly\n               condemning all instances of violence against

humanitarian access to people in need, and\n               calling on RTGNU to protect humanitarian personnel and create a safe and enabling\n               environment for humanitarian assistance, consistent with international humanitarian\n               law and its obligations under the Revitalised Agreement,\n                    Expressing grave concern regarding increased violence between armed groups\n               in some parts of South Sudan, which has killed and displaced thousands, and\n               condemning the mobilization of such groups by parties to the conflict,\n                     Expressing deep concern regarding the delays in implementing the Revitalised\n               Agreement, in particular calling for the use of a single Treasury account and the\n

      without delay, and ensuring full, equal, and meaningful participation of women and\n               inclusion of youth, faith groups, and civil society in all conflict resolution and\n               peacebuilding efforts, and to make progress on transitional reforms, including\n\n\n2/6

revenue collection\n           and anti-corruption structures in order to finance implementation of regulatory\n           framework essential for a political transition, and the humanitarian needs of the\n           population,\n                 Appreciating that Member States continue to express clear intent to provide\n           technical assistance and capacity building to relevant authorities in South Sudan,\n           complying with the provisions of resolution 2428 (2018), in support of the\n           implementation of the Revitalised Agreement, and encouraging Member States to\n

resolution 2577 (2021),\n                 Recalling the need for Member States to ensure that all measures taken by them\n           to implement this resolution comply with their obligations under

by certain entities or organizations, necessary to\n           ensure the timely delivery of humanitarian assistance or to support other activities\n           that support basic human needs, are

transfer, destabilizing accumulation and misuse of small arms\n           and light weapons, and further expressing concern that illicit trafficking and diversion\n           of arms and related materiel of all types undermine the rule of law and have the\n           potential to undermine respect for international humanitarian law, can impede the\n           provision of humanitarian assistance and have wide-ranging negative humanitarian\n           and socioeconomic consequences,\n                 Acknowledging the cooperation by the South Sudanese authorities with the\n           Panel of Experts, and strongly encouraging the South Sudanese authorities to\n           continue their engagement with the Panel of Experts and prevent any obstruction to\n           the

Reiterates its call on the RTGNU to make progress on implementation of\n               public finance management reforms in the Revitalised Agreement, including by\n               making information on all revenues, expenditures, deficits, and debts of the RTGNU\n               accessible to the public; and further reiterates its call on the RTGNU to establish the\n               Hybrid Court for South Sudan, and set up the Commission for Truth, Reconciliation,\n               and Healing and the Compensation and Reparation Authority;\n                    5.

Underscores that arms shipments in violation of this resolution risk fueling\n               conflict and contributing to further instability, and strongly urges all Member States\n               to take urgent action to identify and prevent such shipments within their territory;\n                     9.   Reiterates its call upon all Member States, in particular States neighboring\n               South Sudan, to inspect, in accordance with their national authorities and legislation\n               and consistent with international law, in particular the law of the sea and relevant\n               international civil aviation agreements, all cargo to South Sudan, in their terr itory,\n               including seaports and airports, if the State concerned has information that provides\n               reasonable grounds to believe the cargo contains items the supply, sale, or transfer of\n               which is prohibited by paragraph 4 of resolution 2428 (2018) for the purpose of\n               ensuring strict implementation of these provisions;\n\n4/6                                                                                                      23-10201\n\n                                                                                                  S/RES/2683 (2023)\n\n                 10.

all international partners to support the implementation of the\n               APPR via the roadmap and to continue coordinating their actions with the CAR\n               Government to bring lasting
