S/RES/1870 (2009)

               Nations to support the three track approach delineated by the Secretary-General to
               ensure continuity of humanitarian assistance;
                     14. Requests UNMIS to make full use of its current mandate and capabilities
               to provide security to the civilian population, humanitarian and development actors

               (2005), stresses that this mandate includes the protection of refugees, displaced
               persons and returnees, and emphasizes in particular the need for UNMIS to make
               full use of its current mandate and capabilities with regard to the activities of
               militias and armed groups such as the Lord’s Resistance Army in Sudan, as stated in

               violence and calls upon UNMIS to strengthen its conflict management capacity by
               completing as soon as possible its integrated strategy to support local tribal conflict
               resolution mechanisms in order to maximize protection of civilians; welcomes the
               development of a comprehensive strategy on the protection of civilians and

               conflict;
                    16. Notes that conflict in one area of Sudan affects conflict in other areas of
               Sudan and in the region, and therefore urges UNMIS, consistent with its current
               mandate, to cooperate closely with all UN entities operating in the region, including
               the AU-UN Joint Mediation Support Team and other stakeholders, so that
               implementation of these bodies’ mandates supports the overall objective of peace in
               Sudan and the region;
                    17. Requests UNMIS, acting within its current mandate and within its current

                     18. Stresses the important role of the JIUs for the full implementation of the
               CPA, calls upon the Joint Defense Board to exercise command, control and
               management of the JIUs; requests UNMIS to explore ways to support Sudanese
               efforts to build JIU capabilities, and urges donors to offer support, both materiel and
               training, coordinated by UNMIS in consultation with the Joint Defense Board, to
               enable the full establishment and operational effectiveness of JIUs and JIPUs as
               soon as possible;
                     19. Encourages UNMIS, consistent with its mandate, and within authorized
               levels of civilian police, to continue efforts to assist the parties to the CPA in

               throughout Sudan, assisting in the training of civilian police and corrections

                                                                                S/RES/1870 (2009)

                21. Further urges donors to respond to calls for assistance to the DDR
           process, in particular the reintegration phase, and calls on donors to honour their

                 22. Requests UNMIS, consistent with its mandate and in coordination with

           the reintegration process;
                 23. Welcomes the continuing organized return of internally displaced persons
           and refugees to the Three Areas and southern Sudan, and encourages the promotion

           Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and implementing partners, to ensure that
           such returns are voluntary and sustainable; and requests UNMIS, within its current

           facilitate sustainable returns, including by helping to establish and maintain the
           necessary security conditions;

                 25. Reiterates its concern over the restrictions and impediments placed on
           UNMIS personnel and materiel, and the adverse impact such restrictions and
           impediments have on UNMIS’ ability to perform its mandate effectively and on the
           ability of the humanitarian community to reach affected persons; and calls in this
           regard for all parties to cooperate fully with UNMIS and to facilitate the

           the UNMIS mandate under relevant Security Council resolutions, requests the
           Secretary-General to report on them to the Security Council and Troop Contributing

               sides to avoid any action, including restrictions on UNFICYP’s movements as noted
               in the Secretary-General’s report (S/2009/248), which could lead to an increase in
               tension, undermine the good progress achieved so far, or damage the goodwill on
               the island,
                    Recalling the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the situation in the buffer

               operations, including those of UNFICYP, under close review and noting the

               12 June 2009
                    The Security Council,
                     Recalling its previous relevant resolutions, including resolution 825 (1993),

               (S/PRST/2006/41) and 13 April 2009 (S/PRST/2009/7),
                    Reaffirming that proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, as
               well as their means of delivery, constitutes a threat to international peace and
               security,
                     Expressing the gravest concern at the nuclear test conducted by the Democratic
               People’s Republic of Korea (“the DPRK”) on 25 May 2009 (local time) in violation
               of resolution 1718 (2006), and at the challenge such a test constitutes to the Treaty
               on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (“the NPT”) and to international efforts
               aimed at strengthening the global regime of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons
               towards the 2010 NPT Review Conference, and the danger it poses to peace and
               stability in the region and beyond,

               Treaty in all its aspects, and global efforts towards nuclear non-proliferation and

               nuclear-weapon state in accordance with the NPT in any case,
                    Deploring the DPRK’s announcement of withdrawal from the NPT and its
               pursuit of nuclear weapons,
                    Underlining once again the importance that the DPRK respond to other
               security and humanitarian concerns of the international community,
                    Underlining also that measures imposed by this resolution are not intended to
               have adverse humanitarian consequences for the civilian population of the DPRK,
                     Expressing its gravest concern that the nuclear test and missile activities
               carried out by the DPRK have further generated increased tension in the region and
               beyond, and determining that there continues to exist a clear threat to international
               peace and security,
                     Reaffirming the importance that all Member States uphold the purposes and
               principles of the Charter of the United Nations,
