                    Stressing that the consolidation of peace and stability in Guinea -Bissau can
               only result from a consensual, inclusive and nationally owned process, respec t for

               responsible accountable for their actions,
                     Reiterating its concern at the threat posed by drug trafficking and related
               transnational organized crime to peace and stability; and, in this regard, welcoming

               between the Republic of Sudan and the Republic of South Sudan, in order to ease the

               1738 (2006), 1894 (2009) and 2175 (2014) on the protection of civilians in a rmed

                     Stressing the need for effective human rights monitoring, including of any
               sexual and gender-based violence and violations and abuses committed against
               women and 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,
                     Recalling that its resolution 2086 (2013) reiterates the importance, when
               establishing and renewing the mandates of United Nations Missions, to include
               provisions on the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women in
               post-conflict situations and on children and armed conflict, and emphasizing that
               persistent barriers to full implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) will only be
               dismantled through dedicated commitment to women’s empowerment, participation,

               action, and support, to build women’s engagement in all levels of decision-making,
                     Noting with concern the minimum attention the parties have given to the
               management of the Abyei Area as well as the stalled efforts by the Government of
               Sudan and the Government of South Sudan to demilitarize the Safe Demilitarized
               Border Zone (SDBZ), including the “14 Mile Area”, and to fully implement the
               Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism (JBVMM), in accordance with
               Security Council resolution 2046 and the AUPSC Roadmap of 24 April 2012,
               including as a result of South Sudan’s continued disagreement with the location of
               the SDBZ centreline, the temporary unavailability of aircraft, the denial of security
               clearances, and the tense security situation in the vicinity of Kadugli,
                   Underlining the importance of fully establishing and maintaining effective
               JBVMM monitoring of the SDBZ, including the “14 Mile Area”,
                     Welcoming further regular meetings between President Bashir and President
               Salva Kiir for continuing dialogue, recalling the United Nations Security Council
               decision in resolution 2046 that the parties must resume immediately negotiations to
               reach agreement on Abyei final status under the auspices of the AUHIP, calling
               upon all parties to engage constructively in the process mediated by the AUHIP

               parties must immediately implement pending aspects of the 20 June 2011

           Agreement, in particular to resolve the dispute over the Abyei Area Council and
           immediately establish the Abyei Area Administration and Abyei Police Service,
                Stressing that both countries will have much to gain if they show restraint and
           choose the path of dialogue instead of resorting to violence or provocations,
                 Commending the continued assistance provided to the parties by the AUHIP,
           the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the Federal Democratic Republic
           of Ethiopia, the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Sudan and South Sudan,
           and the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA),
                 Further commending the efforts of UNISFA in effectively carrying out its
           mandate, including by its ongoing facilitation of peaceful migration throughout the
           Abyei Area, conflict prevention, mediation and deterrence, expressing its deep
           appreciation for the work of the troop-contributing countries, strongly condemning
           the attacks on United Nations personnel, calling for investigations of these attacks
           in a swift and thorough manner and to hold those responsible to account,
                Underscoring concern for the fragility of the security situation in Abyei Area,
           acknowledging UNISFA’s contribution to enhanced peace and stability since its
           deployment, and expressing its determination to prevent the recurr ence of violence
           against or displacements of civilians and to avert intercommunal conflict,
                 Reiterating its deep concern regarding 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 delay in establishing the temporary
           institutions and resolving the final status of Abyei and that the continued threat of
           intercommunal violence contributes to heightened tensions in the Abyei Area,
           including those ongoing tensions that prevent UNISFA’s and other agencies’
           Sudanese staff from returning to Abyei,
                 Urging all parties to refrain from any unilateral action that could aggravate
           intercommunal relations within Abyei Area, expressing concern over the continued
           implications of what the AUPSC described in their 6 November 2013 press
           statement as “the decision by the Ngok Dinka to conduct a unilateral referendum”
           and also in this context, taking note that according to the 2 February 2015
           Secretary-General’s report (S/2015/77) the Government of Sudan is proceeding with
           the preparations for the organization of its national elections in Abyei,
                 Bearing in mind the current humanitarian situation in which humanitarian
           actors continue to provide assistance to approximately 81,000 people in the Abyei
           Area and the importance of coherence of United Nations assistance in the region,
           and further stressing the urgency of facilitating the delivery of humanitarian
           assistance to all affected populations,
                 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 continue to take measures as necessary to ensure
           security in the Abyei Area in accordance with its mandate,

15-02940                                                                                3/7

S/RES/2205 (2015)

                     Recalling its resolution 2117 (2013), and expressing grave concern at the
               threat to peace and security in Abyei arising from the illicit transfer, destabili zing
               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 2 February 2015 Secretary-General’s report (S/2015/77),
               including its assessment that the political and security situation on the ground is
               increasingly tense, and requires dialogue and cooperation to prevent it becoming
               more contentious, divisive, and destabilizing in the coming months, 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 15 July 2015 the mandate of the United Nations

               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

               Oversight Committee (AJOC) supervision; in this regard, calls upon the
               communities and the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan to take concrete steps
               towards those goals; and further welcomes the current and future support in these
               efforts from the United Nations, African Union and Government of the Federal

                     3.    Underscores that continued cooperation between the Government of

               implementation of the AJOC decisions, welcomes AU initiatives to support this goal
               and encourages its continued engagement, and requests the Secretary-General to
               provide an assessment of progress on these issues in his regular reports;

               UNISFA in promoting community dialogue and in convening a peace conference
               between the Ngok Dinka and Misseriya traditional chiefs, and strongly urges all
