Resolution

Observations

The Security Council recognised the important role that the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and African Union (AU) were playing in the Liberian process in addition to that of the international community. It welcomed the inauguration of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf as President of Liberia and the installation of a newly elected government, and acknowledged the existence of remaining challenges in the country.

Meanwhile, Council members welcomed the transfer of former President Charles Taylor to the Special Court for Sierra Leone.^[2]

Acts

Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Council extended UNMIL's mandate and the temporary increase in its personnel size.^[3] It reaffirmed its intention to authorise the Secretary-General Kofi Annan to redeploy troops between UNMIL and the United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire (UNOCI) on a temporary basis in accordance with Resolution 1609 (2005). In this context, a review would take place of UNOCI's tasks and troop level with a decision on its possible reinforcement.

Finally, the Secretary-General was asked to present his plans regarding the drawdown of UNMIL to the Security Council.

The United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) was a United Nations peacekeeping operation established in September 2003 to monitor a ceasefire agreement in Liberia following the resignation of President Charles Taylor and the conclusion of the Second Liberian Civil War (1999–2003). At its peak it consisted of up to 15,000 UN military personnel and 1,115 police officers, along with civilian political advisors and aid workers.

The United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire (UNOCI) was a UN-NATO peacekeeping mission in Ivory Coast whose objective was "to facilitate the implementation by the Ivorian parties of the peace agreement signed by them in January 2003". The two main Ivorian parties were the Ivorian Government forces who controlled the south of the country, and the New Forces, who controlled the north. The UNOCI mission aimed to control a "zone of confidence" across the centre of the country separating the two parties. The Head of Mission and Special Representative of the Secretary-General was Aïchatou Mindaoudou Souleymane from Niger. She succeeded Bert Koenders from the Netherlands in 2013, who himself succeeded Choi Young-jin from South Korea in 2011. The mission officially ended on 30 June 2017.
