Description

The Security Council today extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) until 30 April 2027.

South Sudan became the world’s newest nation in July 2011 and the UN Mission in that country was established on 8 July 2011, under Council resolution 1996 (2011). The country has faced persistent political and security upheavals, as well as a humanitarian crisis since it declared independence. In 2018, various parties to the conflict in that country signed the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan, which led to the formation, in 2020, of the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity.

The Council adopted resolution 2824 (2026) today (to be issued as document S/RES/2824(2026)) by a recorded vote of 13 votes in favour to none against, with 2 abstentions (China and the Russian Federation).
