                    Emphasizing the importance of the full participation of women in the
               implementation of agreements and in the prevention and resolution of conflict and
               peacebuilding more broadly,
                     Expressing its full support for the efforts of the African Union on the situation
               between the Republic of Sudan and the Republic of South Sudan, in order to ease
               the current tension, facilitate the resumption of negotiations on post -secession

               Council resolution 2046 and the AUPSC Roadmap of 24 April 2012, as a result of
               South Sudan’s continued disagreement with the location of the SDBZ centreline,

               JBVMM monitoring of the SDBZ, including the “14 Mile Area”,
                    Stressing that both countries will have much to gain if they show restraint and

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

S/RES/2179 (2014)

                     Recalling its resolution 2117 (2013), and expressing grave concern at the
               threat to peace and security in Abyei arising from the illicit transfer, destabilizing
               accumulation and misuse of small arms and light weapons,
                    Expressing concern with the residual threat of landmines and explosive
               remnants of war in the Abyei Area, which hinders the safe return of displaced
               persons to their homes and safe migration,
                    Taking note of the 30 September 2014 Secretary-General’s report
               (S/2014/709), including its assessment that the political and security situation on the
               ground is relatively calm, but can easily escalate into open conflict, with a
               commensurate risk of deterioration of bilateral relations between Sudan and South
               Sudan, and the recommendations contained therein,
                    Recognizing that the current situation in Abyei and along the border between
               the Sudan and South Sudan continues to constitute a serious threat to international
               peace and security,
                     1.    Decides to extend until 28 February 2015 the mandate of the United
               Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) as set out in pa ragraph 2 of
               resolution 1990 (2011) and modified by resolution 2024 (2011) and paragraph 1 of
               resolution 2075 (2012), and acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United
               Nations, further decides to extend until 28 February 2015 the mandate of UNISFA
               as set out in paragraph 3 of resolution 1990, and determines that for the purposes of
               paragraph 1 of resolution 2024 (2011), support to the operational activities of the
               JBVMM shall include support to the Ad Hoc Committees, as appropriate when so
               requested by consensual decisions of these mechanisms, within UNISFA’s
               operational area and existing capabilities;
                     2.   Takes note of the recommendations in the 30 September Secretary-General’s report, and welcomes the UNISFA initiatives to support resumption of
               community dialogue and administration by the communities under Abyei Joint
               Oversight Committee (AJOC) supervision; in this regard, calls upon the
               communities and the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan to take concrete steps
               towards that goal; and further welcomes the current and future support in these
               efforts from the United Nations, African Union and Government of the Federal
               Democratic Republic of Ethiopia;
                     3.   Reiterates its demand that Sudan and South Sudan immediately resume
               the work of the AJOC, and calls upon the Government of South Sudan to name
               immediately an AJOC Co-Chair to ensure steady progress on the implementation of
               the 20 June 2011 Agreement, including the implementation of the AJOC decisions,
               and requests the Secretary-General to provide an assessment of progress on these
               issues in his regular reports, including on his recommendations resulting from the
               May 2014 Strategic Review of UNISFA;
                    4.    Further reiterates its demand that Sudan and South Sudan urgently
               commence the establishment of the Abyei Area Administration and Council,
               including by resolving the deadlock over the composition of the Council, and
               constitute the Abyei Police Service, to enable it to take over policing functions
               throughout the Abyei Area, including the protection of oil infrastructure, in
               accordance with their commitments in the 20 June 2011 Agreement;

4/7                                                                                14-62594

                                                                                S/RES/2179 (2014)

                 5.    Decides to maintain the troops authorized by resolution 2104 (2013)
           already deployed, and that the remaining authorized forces continue to be deployed
           consistent with the progressive reactivation of the JBVMM, to enable UNISFA to
           provide required force protection to the JBVMM and to enable UNISFA to fully
           support the JBVMM to conduct extended operations into the SDBZ as soon as
           possible, and requests the Secretary-General to keep the Council fully updated on
           the status of deployment as part of his regular reporting cycle;
                6.    Expresses concern regarding the stalled efforts to fully operationalize the
           JBVMM, as a result of South Sudan’s continued disagreement with th e location of
           the SDBZ centreline, and calls upon the Government of Sudan and the Government
           of South Sudan to make timely and effective use of the JBVMM, JPSM, and other
           agreed joint mechanisms to ensure the security and transparency of the SDBZ,
           including the “14 Mile Area”;
                 7.    Urges renewed efforts to determine conclusively the SDBZ centreline on
           the ground, and reiterates that the centreline of the SDBZ in no way prejudices the
           current or future legal status of the border, ongoing negotiations on the d isputed and
           claimed areas, and demarcation of the borders;
                8.    Underscores that UNISFA’s protection of civilians mandate as set out in
           paragraph 3 of resolution 1990 (2011) includes taking the necessary actions to
           protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence, irrespective of the
           source of such violence;
                 9.   Condemns the presence of South Sudan security service personnel and
           Diffra Oil Police units deployed in the Abyei Area, as well as the repeated entry of
           Misseriya militias into the territory, and reiterates its demands that immediately and
           without preconditions the Government of South Sudan fully redeploy its security
           service personnel from the Abyei Area and that the Government of Sudan also
           redeploy the Oil Police in Diffra from the Abyei Area, and further reiterates, in
           accordance with relevant resolutions, in particular resolution 1990 and resolution
           2046, that the Abyei Area shall be demilitarized from any forces, as well as armed
           elements of the local communities, other than UNISFA and the Abyei Police
           Service;
                 10. Supports the AJOC’s 3 May 2013 decision on Abyei’s status as a
           weapons-free area, underscores the AUPSC’s concern in its 7 May 2013
           Communiqué over reports that various communities living in Abyei are heavily
           armed, recalls that the 20 June 2011 Agreement on Temporary Arrangements for the
           Administration and Security of the Abyei Area stipulates that Abyei should be a
           weapons-free area and that only UNISFA is authorized to carry weapons inside the
           area, and in this regard, urges the two Governments to take all necessary steps to
           ensure that Abyei is effectively demilitarized, including through disarmament
           programs as necessary;
                 11. Requests that UNISFA, consistent with its mandate and within its
           existing capabilities, observe, document and report on the movement of weapons
           into Abyei and the presence of weapons within Abyei as part of the Secretary -
           General’s regular reporting cycle;
                12. Urges the two Governments immediately to take steps to implement
           confidence-building measures among the respective communities in Abyei Area,
           including through reconciliation processes at the grass-roots level and supporting

14-62594                                                                                5/7

               UNISFA in convening a peace conference between the Ngok Dinka and Mis seriya
               traditional chiefs, and strongly urges all Abyei communities to exercise maximum
               restraint in all their engagements and to desist from inflammatory acts or statements
               that may lead to violent clashes, or any further unilateral activities;
                     13. Requests UNISFA to continue its dialogue with the AJOC and with the
               Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities on effective strategies and oversight
               mechanisms for ensuring full compliance by all relevant parties with Abyei’s status
               as a weapons-free area, with a particular priority placed on the urgent elimination of
               heavy or crew-served weapons, as well as rocket-propelled grenades, and calls upon
               the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan, the AJOC, and the Misseriya and Ngok
               Dinka communities to extend full cooperation to UNISFA in this regard;
                    14. Calls upon all parties to cooperate fully with the findings and
               recommendations following the Abyei Area Joint Investigation and Inquiry

               Adopted by the Security Council at its 7277th meeting, on
               14 October 2014

                    The Security Council,
                    Reaffirming its previous resolutions on Haiti, in particular its resolutions 2119
               (2013), 2070 (2012), 2012 (2011), 1944 (2010), 1927 (2010), 1908 (2010), 1892

               (2005), 1576 (2004) and 1542 (2004),
                     Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial
               integrity and unity of Haiti,
                     Recognizing that, over the past year, Haiti has taken steps towards
               stabilization, including the signing of the El Rancho Accord, which called for the
               conversion of the Transitional College of the Permanent Electoral Council into a
               new Provisional Electoral Council and provided for a period within which the 2013
               electoral law would have been amended to allow for legislative, partial senatorial,
               municipal and local elections in 2014,
                    Noting with great concern that some elections have been postponed for three
               years and that Haiti still does not have an amended electoral law and that as a result
               the Provisional Electoral Council has concluded that it will not be possible to
               organize elections on 26 October as called for by the government,
                    Recognizing that the overall security situation remained relatively stable with
               some improvement since the adoption of its resolution 2119 (2013), which allowed
               MINUSTAH to continue to drawdown and to adapt its configuration without
               undermining the security and stability of Haiti, and recognizing the importance of
               condition-based security-related decisions about the future of MINUSTAH,
                     Recognizing the critical role of MINUSTAH in ensuring stability and security
               in Haiti, and commending MINUSTAH for continuing to assist the Government of
               Haiti to ensure a secure and stable environment, and expressing gratitude to the
               personnel of MINUSTAH and to their countries and paying tribute to those injured
               or killed in the line of duty; commending also the wide range of reconstruction
               efforts in Haiti and the successful work achieved by MINUSTA H’s military
               engineering units,

           Committee for the Elimination of Cholera,
                 Emphasizing that progress in the reconstruction of Haiti, as well as in Haiti’s
           social and economic development, including through effective, coordinated,

           and sustainable stability, and reiterating the need for security to be accompanied by

                 Welcoming the continued development of the Government of Haiti’s

                     3.    Affirms that adjustments to the force configuration should be based on
               the situation on the ground, compatible with the capacity of MINUSTAH to

               responsibility for the maintenance of stability and security in the country; calls upon
