Security Council Renews United Nations Mission in South Sudan for One Year

(Note:  Due to the financial liquidity crisis affecting the United Nations and the resulting constraints, the full press release will be published at a later date.)

The Security Council today extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) for one year to prevent a return to civil war and an escalation of violence in the African country.

Adopting resolution 2729 (2024) by a vote of 13 in favour to none against, with two abstentions (the Russian Federation and China), the Council decided to renew the Mission’s mandate until 30 April 2025 and maintained its force levels with a troop ceiling of 17,000 personnel and a police ceiling of 2,101 personnel, including 88 justice and corrections advisors.
