Unanimously adopting resolution 1839 (2008), the Council took no other decisions through its action, though it referred to the Secretary General’s most recent report, in which he observes that, following the recent Russian–Georgian conflict in South Ossetia, UNOMIG’s area of responsibility is unclear.
In the report, the Secretary-General recommends a technical, four-month extension of the Mission, which for the past 14 years has been entrusted with overseeing the ceasefire accord between Georgia’s Government and Abkhaz separatists in the north-western part of the country. [1]
The Security Council of the United Nations passed 32 resolutions where it recognizes Abkhazia as an integral part of Georgia and supports its territorial integrity according to the principles of the international law.

The resolutions also commend Russia's role as a peacekeeper and facilitator towards a resolution of the conflict. Resolution 1716 also urges Georgia to ensure that no troops are present in the Kodori Gorge and asks Georgia to refrain from provocative actions in the Kodori Gorge.
