SUBJECT: UN OPERATION IN COTE D'IVOIRE:MANDATE RENEWAL
REF: A. (A) STATE 72105
¶B. (B) STATE 7043
¶1. USUN is authorized to vote in favor of a Security Council
resolution authorizing the renewal of the mandate of the UN
Operation in Cote d'Ivoire until January 31, 2010. The text
of the resolution is in paragraph 2. USUN should consult
with Washington if there are substantive changes.
¶2. Begin text:
The Security Council,
Recalling its previous resolutions, in particular resolutions
1528 (2004), 1721 (2006), 1739 (2007), 1765 (2007), 1795
(2008), 1826 (2008), 1842 (2008) and 1865 (2009), and the
statements of its President relating to the situation in Cte
d,Ivoire, and resolution 1836 (2008) on the situation in
Liberia,
Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty,
independence, territorial integrity and unity of Cte
d,Ivoire, and recalling the importance of the principles of
good-neighbourliness, non-interference and regional
cooperation,
Recalling that it endorsed the Agreement signed by President
Laurent Gbagbo and Mr. Guillaume Soro in Ouagadougou on 4
March 2007 ("the Ouagadougou Political Agreement",
S/2007/144), and that it welcomed the four subsequent
Supplementary Agreements,
Recalling in particular that in its resolution 1721 (2006) it
notably endorsed the decision of the African Union Peace and
Security Council on the mandate of the Head of State, and
recalling further that in the statement of its President
dated 28 March 2007 (S/PRST/2007/8) it endorsed the
Ouagadougou Political Agreement, including its Chapter V on
the institutional executive framework, and that this
Agreement provided for a period of ten months for the holding
of the presidential elections,
Expressing again its appreciation to President Blaise
Compaor of Burkina Faso ("the Facilitator") for his
continued efforts to support the peace process in Cte
d,Ivoire, in particular through the Ouagadougou Political
Agreement follow-up mechanisms, commending and encouraging
the continued efforts of the African Union and the Economic
Community of West African States ("ECOWAS") to promote peace
and stability in Cte d,Ivoire, and reiterating its full
support for them,
Stressing again the importance of the international
consultative organ participating in the meetings of the
evaluation and monitoring committee, as an observer,
Stressing the need for the Council to pursue a rigorous,
strategic approach to peacekeeping deployments,
Reiterating its strong condemnation of any attempt to
destabilize the peace process by force, and expressing its
intention to examine without delay the situation after any
such attempt, on the basis of a report by the
Secretary-General,
Having taken note of the report of the Secretary-General
dated 7 July 2009 (S/2009/344),
Recalling its resolution 1674 (2006) on the protection of
civilians in armed conflicts, noting with concern, in spite
of the sustained improvement of the overall human rights
situation, the persistence of reported human rights
violations against civilians in different parts of the
country, including numerous acts of sexual violence,
stressing that the perpetrators must be brought to justice,
and reiterating its firm condemnation of all violations of
human rights and international humanitarian law in Cte
d,Ivoire,
Recalling its resolution 1612 (2005) on children and armed
conflict and the subsequent conclusions of the Security
Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict
pertaining to parties in the armed conflict of Cte d,Ivoire
S/AC.51/2008/5, and expressing its deep concern that children
continue to suffer from various forms of violence,
Recalling also its resolutions 1325 (2000) and 1820 (2008) on
women, peace and security, condemning any sexual violence,
stressing again the importance of women,s equal
participation and full involvement in all efforts for the
maintenance of peace and promotion of peace and security and
the need to increase their role in decision-making with
regard to conflict prevention and resolution, and encouraging
the Secretary-General to mainstream a gender perspective in
the implementation of the mandate of the United Nations
Operation in Cte d,Ivoire ("UNOCI"),
Determining that the situation in Cte d,Ivoire continues to
pose a threat to international peace and security in the
region,
Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
("Supporting the Ouagadougou political process")
¶1. Recalls that in the statement of its President dated 29
May 2009 (S/PRST/2009/16) it welcomed the new electoral
timeline endorsed in Ouagadougou by all the main Ivorian
political actors and leading to the first round of the
presidential elections on 29 November 2009, and underlines
that the parties are bound to respect this timeline to
demonstrate their political commitment towards the holding of
free, fair, open and transparent elections;
¶2. Reiterates its determination to bring its full support to
a credible electoral process for the presidential and
legislative elections in Cte d,Ivoire and expresses its
conviction that any postponement of the presidential
elections of 29 November 2009 in Cte d,Ivoire would be
inconsistent with a credible process and with the Ouagadougou
Political Agreement as endorsed by the Security Council;
¶3. Welcomes the successful completion of the operations of
registration of voters;
¶4. Recalls that it had requested in its resolution 1865
(2009) the President of the Independent Electoral Commission
to share publicly the details of the time frame, and takes
note of the dates he provided for the five stages leading to
the elections of 29 November 2009;
¶5. Reiterates that the publication of the electoral list is a
crucial step in the electoral process, looks forward to the
publication of the provisional voters list before the end of
August 2009 and urges the Ivorian actors to meet their
commitments in full and without delay;
¶6. Expresses its determination to follow closely the
publication of the provisional and of the final electoral
lists, encourages the Facilitator and the Special
Representative of the Secretary-General to inform it without
delay of any difficulty that may put at risk the electoral
time frame, expresses its intention to examine any such
situation without delay and requests the Special
Representative of the Secretary-General to certify the voters
list explicitly;
¶7. Reiterates that the Special Representative of the
Secretary-General shall certify that all stages of the
electoral process provide all the necessary guarantees for
