               peacekeeping personnel in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations,
                     Expressing deep concern at the deteriorating security situation in some parts of

               by the Government of Sudan, inter-tribal fighting, attacks on humanitarian
               personnel and peacekeepers, which have restricted humanitarian access to conflict
               areas where vulnerable civilian populations reside, as contained in the report in the
               Secretary-General, and the displacement of tens of thousands of civilians, and

           Darfur on the stability of Sudan as a whole as well as the region, welcoming
           improved relations between Sudan and Chad, as well as the deployment of a joint
           force, including forces from the Central African Republic (CAR) under a joint

           cooperate in order to achieve peace and stability in Darfur and the wider region,

           and groups outside Darfur,

           peace and security,
                1.    Decides to extend the mandate of UNAMID as set out in resolution 1769

                 3.    Underlines the need for UNAMID to make full use of its mandate and
           capabilities, giving priority in decisions about the use of available capacity and
           resources to (a) the protection of civilians across Darfur, including through
           proactive deployment and patrols in areas at high risk of conflict, securing IDP
           camps and adjacent areas, and implementation of a mission-wide early warning
           strategy and capacity and (b) ensuring safe, timely and unhindered humanitarian

           governmental actors, in the implementation of its mission-wide comprehensive
           strategy for the achievement of these objectives;
                 4.   Reaffirms the importance of promoting the AU-UN led peace and
           political process for Darfur, and welcomes the priority given to UNAMID’s

                     6.    Demands that all parties to the conflict, including all armed movements

               permanent ceasefire and a comprehensive peace settlement on the basis of the Doha
               Document for Peace in Darfur (DDPD), in order to bring a stable and durable peace
               to the region;
                     7.    Recognizes, in this context, the potential complementary role of a Darfurbased Political Process (DPP) led by the AU and the UN; calls on the Government
               of Sudan and the armed movements to contribute to the creation of the necessary
               enabling environment for a DPP that allows the systematic and sustained
               engagement of all Darfurian stakeholders in constructive and open dialogue; notes
               that, despite some positive developments in the peace process, important elements
               of the necessary enabling environment for a DPP, including but not limited to
               respect for the civil and political rights of participants, such that they can exercise
               their views without fear of retribution, freedom of speech and assembly to permit
               open consultations, freedom of movement of participants and UNAMID,
               proportional participation among Darfurians, freedom from harassment, arbitrary

                    9.   Welcomes the Secretary-General’s intention to develop a roadmap for the
               Darfur peace process, and requests the Secretary-General, in this regard, to work in
               close consultation with the AU, also consulting, as appropriate, all Sudanese
               stakeholders and the Implementation Follow-up Committee (IFC), and taking into
               account paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 above, and requests the Secretary-General to report to
               the Council on the roadmap in his next 90-day report;

               and donors to UNAMID; strongly condemns all attacks on UNAMID; underlines
               that any attack or threat of attack on UNAMID is unacceptable; demands that there
               be no recurrence of such attacks, stresses the need to enhance the safety and security
               of UNAMID personnel, as well as the need to bring an end to impunity for those
               who attack peacekeepers, and in this regard urges the Government of Sudan to do its
               utmost to bring the perpetrators of any such crimes to justice;
                     11. Commends the credible work of the Tripartite Mechanism but expresses
               deep concern at continuing restrictions placed upon UNAMID movement and
               operations, particularly to areas of recent conflict; calls on all parties in Darfur to
               remove all obstacles to UNAMID’s full and proper discharge of its mandate,
               including by ensuring its security and freedom of movement; and in this regard,
               demands that the Government of Sudan comply with the Status of Forces Agreement
               fully and without delay, particularly regarding flight and equipment clearances, the
               removal of all obstacles to the use of UNAMID aerial assets, and the timely
               provision of visas for UNAMID personnel; deplores the continued delays in the
               provision of such visas, which threaten seriously to undermine the ability of the
               mission to implement its mandate and urges the Government of Sudan to deliver on
               its welcome commitment to clear the backlog of visa applications; and expresses
               deep concern that UNAMID national staff members were detained by the

           Government of Sudan in violation of the Status of Forces Agreement, and demands
           that the Government of Sudan respect the rights of UNAMID personnel under the
           SOFA;
                 12. Demands that UNAMID be given a licence for its own radio transmitter
           in line with the provisions of the Status of Forces Agreement, so that it can
           communicate freely with all Darfuri stakeholders;
                 13. Requests the Secretary-General to continue reporting to the Council
           every 90 days on progress made towards implementing UNAMID’s mandate across
           Darfur, including on progress towards and obstacles to the implementation of the
           strategy referred to in paragraph 3 above, also including an assessment of progress
           against the benchmarks and indicators set out in Annex II of the report of the
           Secretary-General of 16 November 2009 as well, the security and humanitarian
           situation, including in the IDP sites and refugee camps, human rights, violations of

           violence, attacks on civilians, peacekeepers and humanitarian personnel, and
           comply with their obligations under international human rights and humanitarian
           law; affirms, in this context, the Council’s condemnation of serious violations of
           international humanitarian law and human rights law; calls for an immediate
           cessation of hostilities and for all parties to commit themselves to a sustained and
           permanent ceasefire; requests the Secretary-General to consult with relevant parties
           with a view to developing a more effective ceasefire monitoring mechanism; and
           underlines the need for UNAMID to report on major instances of violence which
           undermines the parties’ full and constructive efforts towards peace;
                 15. Expresses its serious concern at the deterioration of the humanitarian
           situation in some parts of Darfur, the continued threats to humanitarian
           organisations, and the restricted humanitarian access in Darfur resulting from
           increased insecurity, attacks against humanitarian workers, denial of access by the
           parties to the conflict, calls for the full implementation of the Communiqué between
           the Government of Sudan and the United Nations on Facilitation of Humanitarian
           Activities in Darfur, including regarding the timely issuance of visas and travel
           permits for humanitarian organisations; and demands that the Government of Sudan,
           all militias, armed groups and all other stakeholders ensure the full, safe and
           unhindered access of humanitarian organizations and relief personnel and the

           organisations’ ability to monitor such cases; calls on the Government of Sudan fully
           to respect its obligations, including by fulfilling its commitment to lift the state of
           emergency in Darfur, releasing all political prisoners, allowing free expression and
           undertaking effective efforts to ensure accountability for serious violations of
           international human rights and humanitarian law, by whomsoever perpetrated, and

               abuses to the attention of the authorities, and to report gross violations to the
               Security Council;
                    17. Notes that conflict in one area of Sudan affects other areas of Sudan and
               the wider region; and urges close co-ordination among UN missions in the region,
               including UNAMID, the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA)
               and the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), and requests the

                     18. Stresses the importance of achieving dignified and durable solutions for
               refugees and internally displaced persons, and of ensuring their full participation in
               the planning and management of these solutions, demands that all parties to the
               conflict in Darfur create the conditions conducive to allowing the voluntary, safe,
               dignified and sustainable return of refugees and internally displaced persons or their
               local integration; notes potentially encouraging reports of some voluntary returns of
               IDPs to their villages and places of origin, as indicated in the report of the
               Secretary-General, stresses the importance of the Joint Verification Mechanism in
               verifying the voluntariness of returns and expresses deep concern over some
               bureaucratic obstacles that undermine its effectiveness and independence;
                     19. Notes that security and freedom of movement will greatly facilitate early
               recovery initiatives and a return to normalcy in Darfur; stresses the importance of
               early recovery efforts in Darfur when such interventions are suitable, and in this
               respect encourages UNAMID, within its current mandate, to facilitate the work of
               the UN Country Team and expert agencies on early recovery and reconstruction in
               Darfur, inter alia through the provision of area security; calls on all parties to
               provide unhindered access and on the Government of Sudan to lift all access
