Description

The Security Council today renewed for 12 months the authorization to establish a European Union-led stabilization force in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, the 15-member organ unanimously adopted resolution 2795 (2025) (to be issued as document S/RES/2795(2025)) which authorizes the Member States acting through or in cooperation with the European Union to establish, for another 12 months, a multinational stabilization force, or EUFOR-Althea. The force is mandated to help implement the military aspects, as well as those concerning the inter-entity boundary line and related issues, of the 1995 General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is also known as the Dayton Agreement.

Further, it stressed that the parties shall continue to be held equally responsible for the compliance with those aspects and shall be equally subject to such enforcement action by EUFOR-Althea and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) presence as may be necessary.
