BAN RECOMMENDS ADJUSTMENT IN UN MISSION IN GUINEA-BISSAU TO HELP
RESTORE ORDER, STABILITY
New York, May 9 2013 2:00PM
The mandate of the United Nations political mission in Guinea-Bissau,
which last year underwent a military coup, should be adjusted to
support a two-phase process for the full restoration of constitutional
order and medium-term stability in the country, according to a report
by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon presented to the Security Council
today.

"It is important that the United Nations system and subregional,
regional and international partners work together to support a
responsible, legitimate and effective State, operating under the rule
of law and able to provide security, essential services and economic
opportunities to its people," according to the report.

The recommendations presented to the Council by Jose Ramos Horta,
Special Representative for the Secretary-General and head of the UN
Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea-Bissau (UNIOGBIS), who led
an assessment of the Office's mandate that was reflected in the text.

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.

According to the Secretary-General's recommendations, the first phase
of the restoration of constitutional order and stability would
culminate presidential and legislative elections, and focus on
creating "a political environment built on confidence and
non-interference in the electoral process."

The second phase proposed by the Secretary-General, which would
conclude at the end of the term of the next elected government, should
focus on post-election stability, on strengthening of State and
democratic governance institutions – notably security, justice and
defence – and on the functioning of both central and local State
structures.

The current mandate of UNIOGBIS, which was established in 2010 to
replace the previous peacebuilding support office known as UNOGBIS,
which in turn was put in place in 1999 after an 11-month civil war,
expires at the end of this month.
