SECURITY COUNCIL EXTENDS UN POLITICAL MISSION IN GUINEA-BISSAUNew
York, May 22 2013 3:00PMThe United Nations Security Council today
<"http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs//2013/sc11012.doc.htm">extended
the mandate of the United Nations political mission in Guinea-Bissau
to assist in finding solutions to the political and economic crisis
being exacerbated by additional challenges posed by transnational
crime, in particular drug trafficking and money laundering.
The 15-member council voted unanimously to extend through 31 May 2014
the work of the UN Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea-Bissau
(UNIOGBIS) to support efforts focused on fully restoring
constitutional order and medium-term stability in the country
recovering from a military coup.
This is in line with the suggestions that Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon made in his latest report. Presenting that report to the
Council earlier in the month, Jose Ramos Horta, head of UNIOGBIS, said
that if appropriate support is given towards more pro-active
preventive diplomacy programmes, "Guinea-Bissau could become a shining
example of a success story."
In today's resolution, the Council requested Mr. Ban to "increase
efforts to achieve greater coherence, coordination and efficiency
among relevant United Nations agencies, funds and programs in
Guinea-Bissau to maximize their collective effectiveness toward
combating drug trafficking."
The Council also called on Guinea-Bissau authorities "to review, adopt
and implement national legislations and mechanisms" to more
effectively stem the flow of drugs and illegal funds in and out of the
country, particularly through additional support to the Transnational
Crime Unit (TCU) established under the West Africa Coast Initiative
(WACI).
The international community was urged to enhance cooperation with
Guinea-Bissau to more effectively ensure control of its air traffic
and surveillance of maritime security within its jurisdiction.
Among other key points, the Council emphasized the importance of
organizing an international pledging conference on the recovery of
Guinea-Bissau after the holding of free, fair and transparent
elections.
According to recommendations in the Secretary-General's report, the
first phase of the restoration of constitutional order and stability
would culminate in presidential and legislative elections, and focus
on creating "a political environment built on confidence and
non-interference in the electoral process."
Mr. Horta has said he expects elections to be held by November.
Soldiers in Guinea-Bissau – a West African country with a history of
coups, misrule and political instability since it gained independence
from Portugal in 1974 – seized power on 12 April 2012.
The coup d'etat came ahead of a presidential run-off election that was
slated for 22 April between Carlos Gomes Júnior and a former
President, Kumba Yala, prompting calls from the international
community for a return to civilian rule.May 22 2013 3:00PM
