Introduction
The Security Council, in discharging its function
of the maintenance of international peace and security,
was engaged in yet another year of intensive activities.
During the period under review, the Council held
191 formal meetings, 168 of which were public. It also
held 18 meetings with troop-contributing countries and
124 consultations of the whole. In this period, the
Council adopted 54 resolutions and 27 presidential
statements and issued 42 statements to the press.
The Council remained preoccupied with various
situations in Africa, including in Burundi, Chad, the
Central African Republic, Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia,
Madagascar, Sierra Leone, Somalia, the Sudan
(including Darfur) and Western Sahara. It held several
debates on situations related to peace and security in
Africa. During one of those debates, in December
2009, in a statement by its President
(S/PRST/2009/26), the Council welcomed the intention
of the United Nations Secretariat and the African
Union Commission to set up a joint task force on peace
and security to review immediate and long-term
strategic and operational issues. In July 2010, the
members of the Council held the annual dialogue and
consultative meeting with members of the Peace and
Security Council of the African Union.
The Council remained engaged with the situation
in the Middle East, including the question of Palestine,
through monthly briefings and debates. The situation in
Lebanon also received the close attention of the
Council. In August 2009, in resolution 1884 (2009), it
welcomed the conclusions of the review of the
operational capacity of the United Nations Interim
Force in Lebanon, including the force structure, assets
and requirements, which was to be conducted in an
effort to ensure, along with peacekeeping good
practice, that the Mission’s assets and resources would
be configured most appropriately to fulfil its mandated
tasks.
The situations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Myanmar,
Nepal and Timor-Leste received the attention of the
Council in the Asian region.
The Council heard several briefings on the
situation in Haiti, including the earthquake that
occurred on 12 January 2010. In response to the
disaster, the Council adopted resolution 1908 (2010),
by which it endorsed the recommendation made by the
Secretary-General to increase the overall force levels
of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti to
support the immediate recovery, reconstruction and
stabilization efforts, and agreed to keep the new troop
and police levels under review as necessary. By
resolution 1927 (2010), the Council authorized the
deployment of a further 680 police, with a particular
focus on building the capacity of the Haitian National
Police, and encouraged the Mission to provide
logistical support and technical expertise, within
available means, to assist the Government of Haiti, as
requested, to continue operations to build the capacity
of its rule-of-law institutions at the national and local
levels and to speed up the implementation of the
Government’s resettlement strategy for displaced
persons.
The Council continued to receive and debate
quarterly reports of the Secretary-General on the
United Nations Interim Administration Mission in
Kosovo. Council members held different views on the
status of Kosovo. The Mission continued to play a key
role in the promotion of security, stability and respect
for human rights, through engagement with all
communities in Kosovo, with the leadership in Pristina
and Belgrade, and with regional and international
actors. The Council was also seized of the situation in
Cyprus and adopted resolutions extending the mandate
of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus.
The Council devoted considerable time to
deliberating on thematic and general issues, including
threats to international peace and security caused by
terrorist acts, the protection of civilians in armed
conflict, children and armed conflict, women and peace
and security, peacekeeping operations, peacebuilding,
peace and security in Africa, transition and exit
strategies, and the illicit trade in small arms and light
weapons in Central Africa. Following the open debate
in April 2010, the Council emphasized the critical
importance of post-conflict peacebuilding as the
foundation for building sustainable peace and
development in the aftermath of conflict, and also
highlighted the need for effective peacebuilding
strategies to ensure durable peace and development.
The issue of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation
received special attention by the Council. In resolution
1887 (2009), the Council called for further progress on Report of the Security Council to the General Assembly
(covering the period from 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010)
2 10-60746
all aspects of disarmament to enhance global security
and reaffirmed that the proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction, and their means of delivery,
constitutes a threat to international peace and security.
By resolution 1929 (2010), additional sanctions were
imposed on the Islamic Republic of Iran for failing to
meet the requirements of the Board of Governors of the
International Atomic Energy Agency and to comply
with resolutions 1696 (2006), 1737 (2006), 1747
(2007) and 1803 (2008). The activities of the
International Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and
Rwanda were considered by the Council in regard to
their completion strategies and the renewal of
mandates of judges. The members of the Council also
exchanged views with the President of the International
Court of Justice.
The Council adjusted several peacekeeping
mandates and amended sanctions regimes. By
resolution 1907 (2009), the Council imposed sanctions
on Eritrea to ensure that the situation on the ground
would be adequately addressed. During the reporting
period, the Council also conducted missions to the
Democratic Republic of the Congo and Afghanistan.
A large part of the activities of the subsidiary
bodies involved the Counter-Terrorism Committee, the
Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267
(1999) concerning Al-Qaida and the Taliban and
associated individuals and entities, and the Committee
established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004). The
Council continued to improve its working methods and
to focus on documentation and other procedural
questions. The Council adopted the note by the
President (S/2010/507), which builds on previous
Council efforts to document its working methods and
enhance its efficiency and transparency, as well as its
interaction and dialogue with non-members of the
Council. Through the Working Group on Peacekeeping
Operations, the Council continued to engage with
troop- and police-contributing countries and other
relevant stakeholders with a view to making those
operations more effective. The Working Group
submitted its interim report (S/2009/659, annex) to the
President on 17 December 2009.
In April 2010, owing to the implementation of the
capital master plan, the Council relocated to its new,
temporary premises. It held several discussions on the
issue of access of non-members to the “quiet room”.
The Council also considered access of the press to the
entrance area, in order to ensure access comparable to
that available before its relocation.
Africa
Burundi
On 10 December 2009, introducing the report of
the Secretary-General on the United Nations Integrated
Office in Burundi (BINUB) (S/2009/611), the
Executive Representative of the Secretary-General,
Youssef Mahmoud, informed the Council that
international assistance was still required in the
country, despite its post-conflict progress. Council
members welcomed the progress made in the peace
process, due to the implementation by the Government
of Burundi of the Permanent Forum for Dialogue
between agreed political parties. They also welcomed
the agreement reached by the parties to adopt a revised
electoral code and the justice mechanism.
On 17 December, by its resolution 1902 (2009),
the Council extended the mandate of BINUB until
31 December 2010. The Council also urged the
Government of Burundi to create an environment
conducive to the holding of free, fair and peaceful
elections in 2010.
On 10 May 2010, the Council heard a briefing by
the Executive Representative of the Secretary-General
for Burundi and Head of BINUB, Charles Petrie, on the
preparations for the forthcoming elections in Burundi.
Council members expressed their views on the progress
achieved and welcomed the recent developments in the
country.
Chad, the Central African Republic and
the subregion
On 22 October 2009, the Council welcomed the
progress made in the implementation of the agreement
of 13 August 2007 in Chad and took note of the
commitment shown by the Government of Chad to
implement that agreement. Members of the Council
called on armed groups to lay down their arms and
encouraged stakeholders in Chad to further promote
the momentum of reconciliation after the signing of the
Tripoli peace agreement on 25 July 2009. They
remained concerned, however, about the fluid security
situation and humanitarian challenges in eastern Chad
and the north-eastern Central African Republic. Introduction
10-60746 3
On 19 January 2010, the Government of Chad
requested, unexpectedly, that the United Nations
Mission in the Central African Republic and Chad
(MINURCAT) be withdrawn after the expiration of its
mandate in April 2010. On 12 March, by resolution
1913 (2010), the Council decided to extend the
mandate of MINURCAT for two months, as
discussions on its future continued with the
Government of Chad.
On 25 May, by resolution 1923 (2010), the
Council extended the mandate of MINURCAT until
31 December 2010 and called upon the SecretaryGeneral to complete the withdrawal of all components
of the Mission by that date. In the meantime, the
Council decided that the military component of
MINURCAT would be reduced to 1,900 military
personnel in Chad and 300 in the Central African
Republic. It called upon the Secretary-General to
implement the initial withdrawal of the exceeding
number of troops by 15 July 2010, with a final
withdrawal to begin on 15 October.
Noting that the Government of Chad had
committed itself to assume full responsibility for the
security of the civilian population in the eastern part of
the country, the Council requested the Government and
the Secretary-General to establish a joint high-level
working group to make monthly assessments of the
situation on the ground with respect to the protection
of civilians.
The Council decided that MINURCAT, for the
remainder of its mandate, should continue to assist
with the organization and training of the Détachement
intégré de sécurité; liaise with the Government and the
Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees in support of efforts to relocate refugee
camps away from the border; liaise with other security
structures in both Chad and the Central African
Republic; and contribute to the protection of civil
rights and the rule of law in Chad. The Council
acknowledged the Government’s commitment to
submit, by 31 July 2010, its plan for sustaining the
Détachement intégré de sécurité after the Mission’s
departure.
Determining that the situation in the border
region between the Sudan, Chad and the Central
African Republic still constituted a threat to
international peace and security, the Council
encouraged the respective Governments to ensure that
their territories were not used to undermine the
sovereignty of others, and to cooperate in ending the
activities of armed groups, while implementing
previous agreements.
On 15 December, the Special Representative of
the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations
Peacebuilding Support Office in the Central African
Republic (BONUCA), Sahle-Work Zewde, briefed the
Council on the establishment of the United Nations
Integrated Peacebuilding Office in the Central African
Republic (BINUCA). On 21 December, the Council
adopted a presidential statement (S/PRST/2009/35), in
which it welcomed efforts aimed at national
reconciliation in the Central African Republic based on
the Libreville Comprehensive Peace Agreement of
2008 and the commitments contained in the Sirte
Agreement of February 2007 and the Birao Agreement
of April 2007. The Council also urged the Government
of the Central African Republic and all political
stakeholders to ensure free, fair, transparent and
credible preparation and conduct of the 2010 elections,
and emphasized that the elections should be held
within the time frame set by the Constitution. It also
called on the Government to carry out without delay a
transparent and accountable disarmament,
demobilization and reintegration process, and
welcomed the establishment of BINUCA on 1 January
2010.
On 28 June 2010, the Special Representative
informed the Council that the Independent Electoral
Commission had recommended 24 October and
19 December 2010 as the dates for the first and second
rounds of the presidential and parliamentary elections,
respectively, rather than April or May 2010, as had
originally been hoped. She said that disarmament,
demobilization and reintegration operations continued
to be beset with numerous challenges. Despite some
successes in the north, more needed to be done to
accelerate the programme. She advocated a more
coordinated regional approach to combating the threat
posed by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). The
integrated strategic framework, which would guide the
peacebuilding activities of the United Nations in the
Central African Republic, would be finalized by
September.
Côte d’Ivoire
The Council considered the situation in
Côte d’Ivoire on a regular basis during the reporting Report of the Security Council to the General Assembly
(covering the period from 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010)
4 10-60746
period. In particular, the Council expressed its concern
at the delay in the publication of the provisional voters
list for the first round of free, fair and transparent
presidential elections in Côte d’Ivoire, scheduled for
29 November 2009. The Council noted that lasting
peace, and the stability and development of
Côte d’Ivoire, were also dependent on the balanced
and comprehensive settlement of many other security,
socio-economic and cross-border challenges. In its
presidential statement of 29 September 2009
(S/PRST/2009/25), the Council reiterated that all
Ivorian political actors were bound to respect the
electoral timeline and urged all parties to comply with
their commitments.
The Council shared the Secretary-General’s view
that successful elections in Côte d’Ivoire would
provide a basis for devising an exit strategy for the
United Nations Operation in Côte d’Ivoire (UNOCI).
Council members supported the role played by United
Nations agencies, the African Union, the Economic
Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the
Facilitator, President Blaise Compaoré of Burkina
Faso, and the international community in helping
Côte d’Ivoire to achieve further progress in the postconflict stabilization and reconstruction process.
On 27 October 2009, during consultations of the
whole, the Chair of the Committee established pursuant
to resolution 1572 (2004) concerning Côte d’Ivoire
presented to Council members the final report of the
Group of Experts (S/2009/521). Two days later, by
resolution 1893 (2009), the Council decided to renew
until 31 October 2010 the sanctions imposed by
resolutions 1572 (2004) and 1643 (2005) and to extend
the mandate of the Group of Experts for another year.
On 8 December, in a presidential statement
(S/PRST/2009/33), the Council noted that the
Permanent Consultative Framework of the
Ouagadougou Political Agreement had considered that
the postponement of the elections had been due to
technical and financial constraints and that the first
round of the presidential elections would be organized
by the end of February or the beginning of March
2010. It urged the Ivorian stakeholders to meet their
commitments to support the elections and to facilitate
that process without delay.
The Council continued to extend the UNOCI
mandate on a six-monthly basis in its current
configuration until the adoption of resolution 1911
(2010) of 28 January 2010, by which it extended the
mandate for four months to take into account the
electoral time frame. On 30 June, the Council adopted
resolution 1933 (2010), by which it provided a revised
and updated mandate for UNOCI until 31 December
2010, and extended the authorization of the French
forces supporting the Operation until the same date,
within the limits of their deployment and capabilities.
Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Council continued to monitor closely the
situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The
Council was encouraged by the improvement in
relations between the Democratic Republic of the
Congo and Rwanda. In this regard, the Council
supported the efforts of the Secretary-General’s Special
Envoy for the Great Lakes region and his
Co-Facilitator in promoting the rapprochement
between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and
Rwanda and, by extension, long-term stability in the
Great Lakes region. The Council expressed its deep
concern about the humanitarian situation in the eastern
part of the country and the severe impact of the
military operations on civilians since the beginning of
2009.
The Council noted the challenges to the
stabilization process, including the reintegration of the
Congolese armed groups into the armed forces of the
Democratic Republic of the Congo. Members of the
Council stressed the importance of the conditionality of
support for the armed forces, as well as adequate
training and vetting. The Council reiterated the
commitment to the protection of civilians and
emphasized the need to fight against impunity.
On 25 November 2009, the Council was briefed
by the Chair of the Committee established pursuant to
resolution 1533 (2004) concerning the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, the Permanent Representative
of Turkey, Ambassador Ertuğrul Apakan, on the report
of the Group of Experts (S/2009/603), and on
deliberations among Committee members on that
report at the Committee’s informal consultations on 18
and 20 November 2009.
On 30 November, the Council, by its resolution
1896 (2009), renewed the sanctions regime relating to
the Democratic Republic of the Congo and extended
the mandate of the Group of Experts until
30 November 2010. Introduction
10-60746 5
In its resolution 1906 (2009), adopted under
Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations on
23 December, the Council decided that the mandate of
the United Nations Organization Mission in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) should
be extended until 31 May 2010 and should include, in
order of priority, and in cooperation with the
Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo,
the effective protection of civilians, humanitarian and
United Nations personnel and facilities; enhanced
disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of
Congolese armed groups, as well as disarmament,
demobilization, repatriation, resettlement and
reintegration of foreign armed groups; and support for
Government-led security sector reform.
On 13 April 2010, the Council was briefed by the
Special Representative of the Secretary-General and
Head of MONUC, Alan Doss. The Special
Representative underlined the need for the United
Nations to maintain a dialogue with the Government of
the Democratic Republic of the Congo and to aim for a
flexible, gradual withdrawal of the peacekeeping
mission, based on the attainment of set benchmarks.
A Council mission paid a two-day visit to the
Democratic Republic of the Congo from 14 to 15 May
2010. The delegation met with the President, Joseph
Kabila; high-ranking Government officials, including
the Prime Minister; the Senate; the National Assembly;
and members of civil society, as well as officials of
MONUC and the United Nations country team in
Kinshasa.
On 28 May, the Council, by resolution 1925
(2010), extended the mandate of MONUC until
30 June 2010 and authorized the withdrawal of up to
2,000 United Nations military personnel by the same
date. In view of the new phase reached in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Council
decided that MONUC would, from 1 July 2010, be
renamed the United Nations Organization Stabilization
Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
(MONUSCO). By that resolution, the Council further
mandated the deployment of MONUSCO until 30 June
2011.
Guinea-Bissau
During the reporting period, the Council
considered various aspects of the situation in GuineaBissau. In the presidential statement adopted on
5 November 2009 (S/PRST/2009/29), the Council
welcomed the peaceful presidential elections of June
and July 2009, reaffirmed its support for the peace
consolidation efforts in Guinea-Bissau, and reiterated
the importance of consolidating democracy, security,
the rule of law, national reconciliation and the fight
against impunity to ensure sustainable peace. The
Council also underlined the challenges faced with
respect to the security sector, as well as the necessity
of pursuing and implementing an effective and
comprehensive national strategy to be supported by
international partners. The Council furthermore
welcomed the transition of the United Nations
Peacebuilding Support Office in Guinea-Bissau
(UNOGBIS) to an Integrated Peacebuilding Office
(UNIOGBIS) on 1 January 2010.
Council members agreed that security sector
reform was at the heart of Guinea-Bissau’s journey
towards the achievement of durable peace. The Council
further underlined the importance of pension fund
reform as a prerequisite for peace, and emphasized the
central role of the Peacebuilding Commission in this
regard. The Council encouraged the United Nations to
coordinate efforts of international actors and stressed
that sustained support from the international
community was deemed vital to the success of the
peacebuilding process.
Following the events involving the detention and
subsequent release of the Prime Minister, Carlos
Gomes Júnior, by members of the Guinea-Bissau
military on 1 April 2010, Council members expressed
their concern and urged all parties to avoid acts of
violence, uphold constitutional order and respect the
rule of law in Guinea-Bissau. Members also stressed
the need for the parties to preserve ongoing peace
consolidation efforts and to resolve their differences
through dialogue. On 6 April, the Council heard a
briefing by the Assistant Secretary-General for
Political Affairs, Oscar Fernandez-Taranco, on the
situation since the events of 1 April. Members
underlined the importance of promoting security sector
reform as well as the necessity of addressing illegal
drug trafficking in Guinea-Bissau.
The Council reiterated the need for the
Government of Guinea-Bissau to implement a
comprehensive national strategy for security sector
reform. It called upon the international community to
provide continued support for the capacity-building of
the Guinea-Bissau law enforcement and judicial Report of the Security Council to the General Assembly
(covering the period from 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010)
6 10-60746
authorities to enable them to address these problems.
On 22 July, the Council adopted a presidential
statement (S/PRST/2010/15), in which it expressed
concern at the security situation and threats to
constitutional order and about the continued growth in
drug trafficking, as well as organized crime, which
threatened peace and security in Guinea-Bissau and in
the subregion.
Liberia
On 17 December 2009, by its resolution 1903
(2009), the Council renewed for 12 months its travel
ban on persons deemed to be a threat to the peace in
Liberia and readjusted its arms embargo to allow the
Government of Liberia, as well as the United Nations
peacekeeping mission in the country, to receive certain
military materiel for the same period. The Council also
extended until 20 December 2010 the mandate of the
Panel of Experts that monitors the implementation of
the measures. The Council urged the Government of
Liberia to make all necessary efforts to enforce the
asset freeze imposed against sanctioned persons and
entities, which, it affirmed, was still in force.
On 15 September, by its resolution 1885 (2009),
the Council extended the mandate of the United
Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) until
30 September 2010. On 10 March 2010, the Council
was briefed by the Special Representative of the
Secretary-General and Head of UNMIL, Ellen
Margrethe Løj. The Council noted the opinion she
expressed that forthcoming elections in 2011 would be
a litmus test of the sustainability of democracy in that
country and that this would have a bearing on the
security implications that would ultimately indicate
Liberia’s readiness to be weaned from dependency on
UNMIL.
The Council agreed that the peace in Liberia
remained fragile and that instability in neighbouring
countries could have a negative impact on the internal
situation. The training of the national police was
recommended as a means of enhancing a country-based
security sector mechanism. The international
community was encouraged to be relentless in its
support for institutional capacity-building and followthrough on initiatives that would enable Liberia to
transform into a self-sufficient nation. It was suggested
that the Peacebuilding Fund could be used to attract
assistance from external sources.
Sierra Leone
On 15 September 2009, by resolution 1886
(2009), the Council decided to extend the mandate of
the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in
Sierra Leone (UNIPSIL) until 30 September 2010. The
Council determined that UNIPSIL should focus its
efforts on supporting the Government of Sierra Leone
in the areas of constitutional reform and police force
improvement, as well as helping it to tackle corruption,
illicit drug trafficking and organized crime.
On 22 March 2010, the Council heard briefings
by the Executive Representative of the SecretaryGeneral and Head of UNIPSIL, Michael von der
Schulenburg, and the Permanent Representative of
Canada to the United Nations and Chair of the Sierra
Leone configuration of the Peacebuilding Commission,
Ambassador John McNee. The Council commended the
progress that had been made in Sierra Leone. It was
united in its call for more effort to address the issue of
political violence. The Council also emphasized the
need for the police force to be adequately empowered
to tackle civil problems as a means of increasing
security, as well as in preparation for the elections to
be held in 2012.
Somalia
The Council considered various aspects of the
situation in Somalia on a regular basis. In its
presidential statement of 3 December 2009
(S/PRST/2009/31), the Council reiterated its full
support for the Djibouti peace process, which provided
a framework for achieving a lasting political solution.
It reaffirmed that Somalia’s long-term security rested
with the effective development by the Transitional
Federal Government of the National Security Force and
the Somali Police Force, in the framework of the
Djibouti Agreement and in line with a national security
strategy. The Council expressed concern about the
grave security situation in Somalia and reaffirmed its
support for the work of the African Union Mission in
Somalia (AMISOM). On 28 January 2010, the Council,
by resolution 1910 (2010), authorized the African
Union to maintain AMISOM until 31 January 2011 and
requested the Secretary-General to continue to provide
the logistical support package for AMISOM called for
by resolution 1863 (2009). Many Council members
commended Uganda and Burundi for their troop
contributions and called on those countries that had Introduction

pledged additional troops and financial resources to
actualize their commitments.
On 18 November 2009, the Council heard a
briefing by the Special Representative of the SecretaryGeneral for Somalia, Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, who
informed the Council that international naval
deployments and the self-protection measures of
vessels had reduced the number of successful incidents
of piracy. The Council noted the various efforts of
United Nations entities, such as the International
Maritime Organization and the United Nations Office
on Drugs and Crime, as well as of the International
Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), in this
regard.
On 30 November, by resolution 1897 (2009), the
Council renewed for a period of 12 months the
authorizations set out in resolutions 1846 (2008) and
1851 (2008) granted to States and regional
organizations cooperating with the Transitional Federal
Government in the fight against piracy and armed
robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia. On 27 April
2010, by resolution 1918 (2010), the Council requested
the Secretary-General to present to it a report on
possible options for prosecuting and imprisoning
persons responsible for acts of piracy and armed
robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia.
On 16 November 2009, the Chair of the
Committee established pursuant to resolution 751
(1992) concerning Somalia, the Permanent
Representative of Mexico, Ambassador Claude Heller,
presented the Committee’s 120-day report on its work.
The Council also conducted a review of the measures
set out in paragraphs 1, 3 and 7 of resolution 1844
(2008). The Council noted that those measures
remained necessary to address the situation in Somalia,
which constituted a threat to international peace and
security in the region.
On 19 March 2010, by resolution 1916 (2010),
the Council condemned the continuing flow of
weapons in violation of its arms embargoes on Somalia
and Eritrea, and extended for 12 months the mandate of
the Group monitoring those measures. It also expanded
its mandate and gave it three additional experts. The
Council condemned the misappropriation and
politicization of humanitarian assistance by armed
groups in Somalia, and called upon all Member States
and United Nations units to take all feasible steps to
mitigate such practices.
Sudan
The Council remained actively engaged in the
consideration of various aspects of the situation in the
Sudan. Council members commended the commitment
of the parties under the Comprehensive Peace
Agreement to abide by the decision of the Court of
Arbitration on the status of Abyei, as well as their
willingness to resolve the outstanding differences in
preparing the draft law for the conduct of the
referendum in 2011. They called on the parties to ensure
a stable environment conducive to free, fair, credible
and successful elections in 2010. The Council also
underlined the importance of elections in the country
and stressed that the parties must engage in genuine
cooperation following the polls, no matter the outcome.
Expressing high appreciation of the efforts of the United
Nations Mission in the Sudan (UNMIS), they reiterated
their strong support for the Mission in discharging its
mandate, especially in protecting civilians and
extending electoral assistance to the Government of the
Sudan with a view to facilitating the process of
implementing the Comprehensive Peace Agreement.
On 13 October 2009, by resolution 1891 (2009),
the Council extended until 15 October 2010 the
mandate of the Panel of Experts of the Committee
established pursuant to resolution 1591 (2005)
concerning the Sudan.
On 8 April 2010, in consultations of the whole, the
Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations,
Alain Le Roy, briefed the Council on preparations for
elections in the Sudan. He discussed the boycott by
some of the opposition parties, technical logistical
challenges facing the National Elections Commission,
the provision of UNMIS electoral support to the
Commission and issues regarding election observers.
By its resolution 1919 (2010) of 29 April, the
Council extended the mandate of UNMIS for one year,
with the intention of renewing it for further periods if
required. It called upon all parties to respect and abide
without delay by their commitments under the
Comprehensive Peace Agreement, agreements on
Darfur and the Eastern Sudan Peace Agreement of
October 2006
The Council expressed its full support for the
African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in
Darfur (UNAMID) and the efforts of the Joint Chief
Mediator. The Council stated that the political process
for Darfur had reached a critical point and, therefore, Report of the Security Council to the General Assembly
(covering the period from 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010)
8 10-60746
called on all parties to commit themselves to finding a
peaceful way forward. Some members of the Council
also expressed their strong concern over attacks on
UNAMID staff and humanitarian workers. Members of
the Council continued to press for UNAMID to be
deployed and to be able to operate with full efficiency.
They further stressed that they would, through the Joint
Chief Mediator, continue to monitor the Doha peace
process.
The Council noted that the Sudan was a pioneer
in the joint efforts by the United Nations and the
African Union to maintain peace on the continent. It
also noted the broad consensus in Darfur about what
must be done for the speedy achievement of peace,
justice and reconciliation, and agreed that the situation
was ripe for acceleration of the peace process.
On 30 July, the Council, by resolution 1935
(2010), extended the mandate of UNAMID for one
year. It underlined the need for UNAMID to utilize its
available capacity and resources to give protection to
civilians across Darfur as well as to ensure the safety
and security of humanitarian personnel and activities.
It welcomed the priority given to the continuing efforts
of UNAMID to promote the engagement of all
Darfurian stakeholders in support of and to
complement the African Union/United Nations-led
political process for Darfur.
On 15 September and 15 December 2009 and on
4 March and 10 June 2010, respectively, during
consultations of the whole, the representative of
Austria, Ambassador Thomas Mayr-Harting, in his
capacity as Chair of the Committee established
pursuant to resolution 1591 (2005), presented to
Council members the 90-day reports on the work of the
Committee.
On 4 December 2009 and 11 June 2010, the
Council received its biannual briefings by the
Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Luis
Moreno-Ocampo, who presented his reports pursuant
to resolution 1593 (2005). The Prosecutor provided
information to the Council on the activities of his
Office with regard to Darfur and summarized his
planned activities for the coming months. Each
briefing was followed by a private debate during which
Council members expressed their positions on this
issue.
In reaction to the briefing by the Prosecutor of
the International Criminal Court on 4 December, some
members of the Council underlined that the Sudan was
under a legal obligation to cooperate with the Court as
stipulated by the Council in resolution 1593 (2005).
Many speakers welcomed the report of the African
Union High-level Panel (see S/2009/599), which aimed
to consider the interlinked matters of combating
impunity and promoting peace and reconciliation.
While some members expressed their support for the
warrant against the President of the Sudan, Omar
Al-Bashir, others thought that, even if the Council had
to fight against impunity, it should also take into
account the political progress made towards a
settlement of the conflict in Darfur. Those members
urged the Council to defer the warrant against
President Al-Bashir, in accordance with article 16 of
the Rome Statute, as requested by the African Union,
the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the
Non-Aligned Movement.
Western Sahara
On 15 April 2010, the Special Representative of
the Secretary-General for Western Sahara and Head of
the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in
Western Sahara (MINURSO), Hany Abdel-Aziz, and
the Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General for
Western Sahara, Christopher Ross, briefed the Council
on the situation in Western Sahara. While Council
members welcomed the parties’ continuing
commitment to the process of negotiations and their
willingness to engage in the preparatory informal talks,
many expressed regret at the lack of substantial
progress in the preparations for a fifth round of
negotiations. They also held the view that the parties
must demonstrate further political will to find a
solution to the problem.
On 30 April, by resolution 1920 (2010), the
Council extended the mandate of MINURSO until
30 April 2011. It called on Morocco and the Popular
Front for the Liberation of Saguia el-Hamra and Rio de
Oro (Polisario Front) to adhere fully to the military
agreements reached. Recognizing that the status quo
was not acceptable in the long term, the Council
invited the parties to demonstrate further political will
towards a solution. The Council called upon the parties
to continue negotiations under the auspices of the
Secretary-General without preconditions, in good faith
and with a view to achieving a just, lasting and
mutually acceptable solution that would provide for the
self-determination of the people of Western Sahara. Introduction

Central African region: impact of illicit arms
trafficking on peace and security
On 19 March 2010, the Council held an open
debate on the impact of illicit trafficking in small arms
and light weapons on peace and security in Central
Africa. The debate took into account developments in
illicit trafficking in small arms and light weapons in
the world, particularly in the Central African region,
and reflected on innovative measures aimed at more
effectively combating and eliminating this challenge.
Following the debate, the Council adopted a
presidential statement (S/PRST/2010/6), in which it
recalled the humanitarian, economic and social
consequences of illicit trafficking in small arms and
light weapons for the security of populations, the
persistence of conflicts, outbreaks of gender-based
violence and the recruitment of child soldiers. The illicit
trafficking in small arms was a serious threat to peace,
stability and development. In this context, the Council
welcomed the various initiatives of the subregion and
encouraged the Central African countries to build up the
capacity of the Economic Community of Central
African States through, inter alia, the elaboration of a
subregional legally binding instrument on the control of
small arms and light weapons. The Council
acknowledged the right of States to ensure their defence
and security, while stressing the importance of effective
regulations and controls in the transparent trade in small
arms and light weapons in order to prevent their illegal
diversion and re-exportation.
Great Lakes region
On 9 November 2009, the Special Envoy of the
Secretary-General for the Great Lakes region,
Olusegun Obasanjo, briefed the Council on his
facilitations of peace processes in the region.
In this regard, Council members underlined the
necessity of the full implementation of the agreement
of 23 March 2009, the fight against impunity and
comprehensive security sector reform. They reiterated
their concern about the ongoing presence of the Forces
démocratiques de libération du Rwanda (FDLR) in the
eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo as well as
the worrying situation of the civilian population and
the grave effects on civilians of the military operation
undertaken by the armed forces of the Democratic
Republic of the Congo with support from MONUC. In
this regard, Council members welcomed the SecretaryGeneral’s recent decision to stop MONUC support for
Congolese armed forces units implicated in grave
human rights violations. It also welcomed the
improved relations between the Democratic Republic
of the Congo and Rwanda.
On 17 November 2009, the Under-SecretaryGeneral for Political Affairs, B. Lynn Pascoe, briefed
the Council on the situation in the areas affected by
LRA. He informed the Council that LRA had
developed into a regional problem which could be
solved only by a well-coordinated approach that
included the countries in the region and the relevant
United Nations peacekeeping missions.
Council members condemned the activities of
LRA and underlined the need for the protection of
civilians to be of the utmost priority in actions
undertaken in the fight against it. Members of the
Council called on United Nations missions in the
region, namely, the United Nations Organization
Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the
United Nations Mission in the Sudan, the African
Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur, the
United Nations Peacebuilding Office in the Central
African Republic and the United Nations Mission in
the Central African Republic and Chad, to coordinate
strategies for, and information on, the protection of
civilians, in the light of the attacks by the Lord’s
Resistance Army.
Peace consolidation in West Africa
The Council supported diplomatic efforts by the
United Nations, the International Contact Group for
Guinea, the African Union and ECOWAS aimed at
restoring peace, stability and justice in Guinea. It
commended the mediation efforts of the President of
Burkina Faso, Blaise Compaoré, in his capacity as
Special Envoy of the Chair of ECOWAS. The Council
urged the de facto authorities in Guinea to implement
fully their pledge to cooperate with the United Nations
in its independent investigations. They also urged the
parties in Guinea to exercise maximum restraint, attend
to the constitutional order and the rule of law, and
accord the highest priority to the safety and security of
Guinean civilians, thus helping to prevent further
deterioration of the situation and create favourable
conditions for the planning and conduct of the
legislative elections. Report of the Security Council to the General Assembly

On 12 January 2010, the Council expressed its
concern about the situation in West Africa and Guinea.
It reaffirmed its support for the active role of the United
Nations Office for West Africa (UNOWA) in
coordinating the efforts of the international community
to provide assistance to West Africa. Members of the
Council also expressed their support for the good offices
of the African Union and ECOWAS in Guinea, and
called upon the Guinean authorities and all parties to
solve their disputes through dialogue and consultation．
On 16 February, the Council welcomed the
appointment of the new transitional Government and
urged all Guinean stakeholders to work together in
steering the West African nation towards democratic
elections by July 2010. In a presidential statement
(S/PRST/2009/27), the Council expressed optimism at
the prospect of the timely restoration of constitutional
order in a peaceful manner through a civilian-led
transition. The Council welcomed the Joint Declaration
of Ouagadougou of 15 January 2010, which provided
in particular for the establishment of a National Unity
Government led by a civilian Prime Minister
designated by the opposition, the holding of elections
within six months, and the commitment that the Head
of State of the transition, members of the Conseil
national pour la démocratie et le développement, the
Prime Minister, members of the National Unity
Government and the defence and security forces in
active service would not stand in the presidential
elections.
On 13 July, while briefing the Council on the
basis of the Secretary-General’s report (S/2010/324),
the Special Representative of the Secretary-General
and Head of UNOWA, Said Djinnit, remarked on the
gradual progress that had been made in terms of
regional stability, highlighting the peaceful staging of
regional elections in Togo and the calming of a
constitutional crisis in Guinea as examples. In the
consultations that followed, a number of cross-cutting
security issues were discussed, including drug
trafficking. Council members recognized that the
subregion remained vulnerable to instability. In
addition, the Council discussed ways of strengthening
the functions of UNOWA. The effective work of
UNOWA was widely endorsed, and the Office was
encouraged to deepen its cooperation with other United
Nations agencies.
Peace and security in Africa
General
On 26 October 2009, the Council considered the

(S/PRST/2009/26), in which it reiterated the
responsibility of regional organizations to secure
human, financial, logistical and other resources for
their organizations, including through contributions by
their members and support from donors, and
commended the support extended by donors to the
African Union Peace and Security Architecture. The
Council noted the assessment of the options for
financing African Union peacekeeping operations
authorized by the Council and expressed its intention
to keep all options under consideration within the
established rules and procedures of the United Nations.
The Council supported the enhancement of the
strategic partnership between the United Nations and
the African Union, especially between the United
Nations Security Council and the African Union Peace

Commission to set up a joint task force on peace and
security to review immediate and long-term strategic
and operational issues.
On 23 December, the Council adopted resolution
1907 (2009) concerning the situation in Somalia and
the border dispute between Djibouti and Eritrea, in
which it noted the refusal of Eritrea to withdraw its
forces to the status quo ante and to engage in dialogue
with Djibouti or to accept bilateral contacts, mediation
or facilitation, and that its non-compliance with the
Djibouti peace process constituted a threat to
international peace and security. By the resolution, the
Council imposed an arms embargo on Eritrea. Introduction
10-60746 11
On 19 May 2010, the President of Djibouti,
Ismail Omar Guelleh, addressed the Council and
enumerated his country’s contributions to peace and
anti-piracy efforts in Somalia, as well as Djibouti’s
pending issues with Eritrea. Council members urged

the United Nations in the process, in particular, the
consulting electoral mission sent to Madagascar.
Council members encouraged the joint mediation team
to continue its efforts to help to implement the next
steps agreed in Addis Ababa, in particular the
referendum on the Constitution and the organization of
the elections. Following the meeting, the President of
the Council made remarks to the press conveying the
main views of Council members.
Drug trafficking as a threat to
international security
On 8 December 2009, the Council held an open
debate on “Peace and security in Africa: drug
trafficking as a threat to international security”.
Delegations stressed their concern over the
threats to international security caused by drug
trafficking and other transnational organized crime and
the increasing link between drug trafficking and the
financing of terrorism. They underlined the necessity
of strengthening transregional and international
cooperation as well as the coordination of United
Nations actions, including cooperation with
INTERPOL, in order to fight against this threat at the
national, regional and international levels.
The Council adopted a presidential statement
(S/PRST/2009/32), in which it noted with concern the
serious threats posed in some cases by drug trafficking
and related transnational organized crime. It stressed
the importance of strengthening transregional and
international cooperation on the basis of a common and
shared responsibility to counter the world drug
problem and related criminal activities. It also
underlined the need to reinforce the coordination of
United Nations actions.
Americas
Haiti
On 13 October 2009, the Council, by its
resolution 1892 (2009), extended the mandate of the
United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti
(MINUSTAH) until 15 October 2010. It endorsed the
recommendation made by the Secretary-General to
maintain the overall force levels of the Mission until
the planned substantial increase in the capacity of the
Haitian National Police had allowed for a reassessment
of the situation, while adjusting its force configuration
to better meet the current requirements on the ground.
The Council reaffirmed its call on MINUSTAH to
support the ongoing political process and national
reconciliation, to continue its support aimed at
strengthening Haiti’s national capacity, and to provide
logistical and security assistance for the upcoming
elections in 2010, while recognizing the ownership and
primary responsibility of the Government and the
people of Haiti over all aspects of the country’s
stabilization.
Following the devastating earthquake of
12 January 2010, members of the Council conveyed

continuing support to the nation and people of Haiti
following briefings by the Under-Secretary-General for

Coordinator, John Holmes, and the Under-SecretaryGeneral for Peacekeeping Operations, Alain Le Roy.
On 28 April, the Special Representative of the
Secretary-General and Head of MINUSTAH, Edmond
Mulet, during a briefing, informed the Council that in
view of the enormous efforts undertaken by the
international community since the earthquake, Haiti
could return to the path of stability within two years if
it received assistance in weathering the critical risks of
the next 18 months. The Special Representative said
that the challenge for the United Nations was to help to
create an environment in which the great outpouring of
international goodwill and generosity could be
translated immediately into much-needed practical
support. Members of the Council praised the work of
MINUSTAH in the immediate aftermath of the
earthquake and expressed support for the SecretaryGeneral’s recommendations for the coming period.
On 4 June, the Council adopted resolution 1927
(2010) in response to the Secretary-General’s report of

briefing by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Brazil,
Celso Amorim, on the situation at the Embassy of
Brazil in Tegucigalpa, where the President of
Honduras, José Manuel Zelaya, had taken refuge. The
Minister related to the Council that the Brazilian
Embassy had been subjected to “acts of harassment and
intimidation by the de facto authorities”. He expressed
the concern that all obligations under the Vienna
Convention should be met. The Council then held
consultations on the subject, with most members
stressing the importance of respecting international law
through the preservation of the inviolability of the
Embassy of Brazil, and called upon the de facto
government of Honduras to cease its acts of
harassment. Council members expressed support for
regional mediation efforts facilitated by the
Organization of American States.
Middle East
The situation in the Middle East, including the
Palestinian question
The Council considered the situation in the
Middle East, including Palestine, on a monthly basis.
The Council urged the parties to rapidly resume peace
negotiations. Members of the Council stressed the need
for Israelis and Palestinians to fulfil their obligations
under the road map, and a number of Council members
called for the complete freeze of settlement activity by
Israel. The Council expressed concern at the
humanitarian situation in Gaza and reiterated its call
for the full implementation of resolution 1860 (2009).
On 14 October 2009, in an open debate, the
Council was briefed by the Under-Secretary-General
for Political Affairs, who said that political efforts to
resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict had continued but
there had been no significant progress on the ground.
He confirmed the Secretary-General’s support for the
work of the Fact-finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict
and his call for credible national investigations into the
conduct of the conflict without delay, which was
echoed by a number of delegations that addressed the
Council after the briefing. Many speakers called for an
end to all acts of violence and for strict compliance
with international humanitarian and human rights law,
as well as for the safety and security of all civilians,
diplomatic and United Nations premises and personnel.
A number of participants expressed concern about the
findings contained in the Goldstone report and the need
to urgently address the continuing grave humanitarian
situation in the Gaza Strip, including the need for the
long-overdue reconstruction process to commence.
On 24 March 2010, the Council heard a briefing
by the Secretary-General on the Quartet meeting held in
Moscow on 19 March 2010 and his visit to the Middle
East. In his briefing, the Secretary-General informed the
Council of the Quartet’s statement, which reflected
strong agreement on the following: the need for
proximity talks to move forward and to become direct
negotiations as soon as possible; the need for the parties
to respect the conditions that made proximity talks
possible and to act in accordance with international law
and the road map, including the freeze by Israel of all Introduction
10-60746 13
settlement activity and the fulfilment by the Palestinians
of security obligations; the immediate easing of the
closure affecting Gaza and the commitment to a durable
solution to the issues of security, unity and crossings, as
envisaged in resolution 1860 (2009); and strong support
for the Palestinian Authority’s State-building agenda.
The Council welcomed the Secretary-General’s
meetings with the Palestinian and Israeli authorities and
the diplomatic efforts made by the Quartet to relaunch
the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. The Council
requested the two parties to fulfil their obligations under
the road map and the relevant resolutions of the Council
and invited them to make every effort to resume the
peace negotiations.
Following the flotilla incident of 31 May, the
Council held an emergency meeting. On 1 June, it
adopted a presidential statement (S/PRST/2010/9) on
the use of force during the Israeli military operation in
international waters against the convoy sailing to Gaza.
In the statement, the Council condemned those acts
which had led to the loss of at least 10 civilians and the
wounding of many, requested the immediate release of
the ships and the civilians held by Israel, and called for
a prompt, impartial, credible and transparent
investigation conforming to international standards. In
the same statement, the Council emphasized that the
situation in Gaza was not sustainable, re-emphasized
the importance of the full implementation of resolutions
1850 (2008) and 1860 (2009), reiterated its grave
concern at the humanitarian situation, and stressed the
need for a sustained and regular flow of goods and
people to Gaza. Members of the Council underlined the
fact that only a two-State solution, with an independent
and viable Palestinian State living side by side in peace
and security with a secure Israel and its other
neighbours could bring peace to the region. The
Council expressed continued support for the proximity
talks and urged the parties to act with restraint.
Members of the Council agreed that a
comprehensive peaceful settlement of the dispute was
in the interest of all concerned. In this regard, the
Council again urged all parties concerned to fulfil their
mutual obligations under the road map, the Madrid

of the Charter, the Council adopted resolution 1905
(2009), by which it extended until 31 December 2010

for Peacekeeping Operations informed the Council that
the consensus that had arisen a year before on the need
to transform the relationship between Afghanistan and
its international partners through a transfer of
responsibilities to the Afghans and a supporting role
for the international community had emerged clearly at
the London Conference of 28 January 2010 on
Afghanistan. The Council welcomed the agreement
that had been reached following the Conference on the
transition process in Afghanistan and took note of the
decision to increase the responsibility of the Afghans
for managing their security and development.
On 22 March, by its resolution 1917 (2010), the
Council extended the mandate of UNAMA until

10-60746 17
In view of the findings of the five-nation Joint
Civilian-Military Investigation Group led by the
Republic of Korea, which had concluded that the
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea was
responsible for the sinking of the Cheonan, the Council
expressed its deep concern.
The Council took note of the responses from
other relevant parties, including the Democratic
People’s Republic of Korea, which had stated that it
had had nothing to do with the incident.
Therefore, the Council condemned the attack
which had led to the sinking of the Cheonan.
The Council underlined the importance of
preventing further such attacks or hostilities against the
Republic of Korea or in the region.
In the statement, the Council further called for
full adherence to the Korean Armistice Agreement and
encouraged the settlement of the outstanding issues on
the Korean peninsula by peaceful means to resume

conflicts and averting escalation.
Europe
Bosnia and Herzegovina
On 23 November 2009, the High Representative
and European Union Special Representative for Bosnia
and Herzegovina, Valentin Inzko, reported that, owing
to the lack of progress in meeting the five conditions
and two requirements established by the international
community, the Peace Implementation Council, at its
meeting on 18 and 19 November, had not been able to
make a positive assessment which would have allowed
for the closure of the Office of the High Representative
and the transition to a reinforced European Union
Special Representative.
On 18 November, by resolution 1895 (2009), the
Council authorized, for a further period of 12 months,
the European Union stabilization force mandated to
ensure continued compliance with the Dayton Peace
Agreement of 1995.
On 24 May 2010, the High Representative briefed
the Council on the progress achieved, including steps
towards Euro-Atlantic integration, an agreement with
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on a
membership action plan, and the progress on regional
reconciliation. He stated that the country remained
afflicted by a lack of consensus on whether it would
continue to exist as a more centralized or a
decentralized State. The situation was exacerbated by
an internal political split, a rise in the unemployment
level, lack of constitutional reforms and an ethnic
divide.
Council members welcomed the progress made
by Bosnia and Herzegovina in the international and
regional spheres and urged all parties in the country to
strengthen internal dialogue and cooperation, in order
to achieve genuine reconciliation and make further
progress on police reform, internal unity and
multi-ethnic stability. Most Council members also
voiced support for international assistance to
strengthen security and rule-of-law institutions, while
calling on all leaders to refrain from anti-Dayton
rhetoric.

Cyprus (S/2009/610). Members of the Council
welcomed the implementation of some confidencebuilding measures announced by the two leaders and
urged them to implement the remaining measures in
order to build trust between the communities. They

Council extended the mandate of UNFICYP until
15 December 2010. It urged the Greek and Turkish

commended UNMIK for its work in strengthening
stability, security and respect for human rights,
including the re-employment of ethnic Serb police
officers; they called on all concerned parties to
continue to cooperate with UNMIK. Members also
called upon Kosovo Albanians and Kosovo Serbs to
enhance their mutual cooperation and to address their
prevailing common challenges, such as the fight
against corruption and organized crime, economic
development, good governance and the rule of law.
Council members also called for the improvement of
conditions conducive to the return of more displaced
persons.
On 22 January 2010, the Special Representative
of the Secretary-General briefed the Council on the
basis of the Secretary-General’s report (S/2010/5). He
called on Belgrade and Kosovo to find ways to put
aside considerations of status in the interest of
pursuing regional cooperation. He indicated that
Kosovo remained largely peaceful and stable, although
tensions remained in the north. UNMIK continued to
facilitate cooperation between the parties in
cooperation with other relevant actors.
On 17 May, the Special Representative briefed
the Council on the Secretary-General’s report
(S/2010/169). He stated that the overall situation in
Kosovo was peaceful and stable, although tensions in
the north remained, in view of the slow progress in the
reconciliation between the Albanian and Serb
communities.
On 6 July, at the request of Serbia, the Council
held an emergency meeting to discuss an incident in
northern Kosovo on 2 July in which an explosion at a
demonstration had resulted in one fatality and several

Members of the Council noted that the two
Tribunals were not in a position to complete their work
by the end of 2010 as indicated in Council resolutions
1503 (2003) and 1534 (2004). They urged the
Tribunals to complete their work as expeditiously as
possible, without jeopardizing the fairness of the
process, and emphasized that the end of the Tribunals
should not signal that persons suspected of grave
crimes were safe from justice. The representative of
Austria, Ambassador Thomas Mayr-Harting, in his
function as Chair of the Informal Working Group on
International Tribunals, briefed the Council on the
progress achieved by the Working Group on the issue
of the establishment of a residual mechanism to carry

terms of office of all trial judges based on the Tribunals’
projected trial schedules and the terms of office of all
appeals judges until 31 December 2012, or until the
completion of the cases to which they were assigned if
sooner. The Council also decided that, notwithstanding
the expiry of their terms of office on 31 December 2009,
two ad litem judges at the International Tribunal for the
Former Yugoslavia and one permanent judge at the
International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda could
complete the cases which they had begun before the
expiry of their terms of office. Introduction

Presidents and Prosecutors of the two Tribunals. In
addition, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal
Tribunal for Rwanda formally reported on the issue of
cooperation on the part of Kenya with the Tribunal.
Members of the Council took note of the Tribunals’
assessment that some appeals cases might last until
2013 or even 2014, and of their concern about the loss
of experienced staff. The Council was also briefed by
the Chair of the Informal Working Group on
International Tribunals on the activities of the Working
Group. Members of the Council welcomed the progress

Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia based on the
Tribunal’s projected trial schedule, and requested the
President of that Tribunal to submit to the Council an
updated trial and appeals schedule no later than
15 May 2011. In both resolutions, the Council also
called on States to intensify cooperation with the
Tribunals and noted the importance of the retention of
experienced staff.

violations with concern and expressed their support for
the renewal of the mandate of the Panel of Experts.
On 7 June, the Council adopted resolution 1928
(2010), extending the current mandate of the Panel of
Experts established by resolution 1874 (2009) until
12 June 2011.
Maintenance of international peace and
security: nuclear non-proliferation and
nuclear disarmament
On 24 September 2009, the Council held a
high-level summit meeting on the issue of nuclear
non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament at which
resolution 1887 (2009) was adopted with the
co-sponsorship and support of all Council members.
Key provisions of the resolution included a
commitment to work towards a world without nuclear
weapons, in accordance with the goals of the Treaty on
the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, calls for
further progress on nuclear arms reductions, a
strengthened Non-Proliferation Treaty and respect for
the right to the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. The
Council also reaffirmed the need for full
implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) by Member
States and stressed the importance of ensuring that
IAEA had the authority and resources necessary to
carry out its mandate. In their statements, many
delegations addressed such issues as nuclear
disarmament, non-proliferation and the peaceful uses
of nuclear energy.
Maintenance of international peace and
security: intercultural dialogue for peace
and security
On 26 May 2010, the Council held an open
debate on intercultural dialogue for peace and security
as an instrument of preventive diplomacy, conflict
management and resolution, and peacebuilding.
Council members noted the importance of
intercultural dialogue in a globalized world and
emphasized that tolerance and mutual respect should
be the basis for the international community to
confront challenges. Members considered mediation as
an important tool for the resolution and prevention of
conflicts. They also stressed the importance of
intercultural dialogue in building respect between
peoples and overcoming mistrust among them.
Maintenance of international peace and
security: optimizing the use of preventive
diplomacy tools — prospects and challenges
for Africa
On 16 July 2010, the Council held an open debate
on the issue of optimizing preventive diplomacy tools.
Recognizing the need to better understand and account Introduction
10-60746 21
for the root causes of conflict, Council members
observed that much could be achieved through the use
of preventive diplomacy in tackling problems relating
to weak governance, the proliferation of small arms
and light weapons and other socio-economic
challenges that could fuel conflict. Members
underlined the need for stronger partnership with
regional and local actors, investment in early
prevention strategies and strengthening of the capacity
of the United Nations in terms of crisis analysis.
In a presidential statement (S/PRST/2010/14), the
Council, inter alia, recognized the increased material,
human and financial resources required by
peacekeeping operations over the past decade and
acknowledged the potential benefits and efficiencies
that could be achieved through an integrated approach
to preventing conflicts. The Council also recognized
the importance of a comprehensive strategy comprising
operational and structural measures for the prevention
of armed conflicts. It acknowledged the importance of
continually engaging the potential and existing
capacities and capabilities of the United Nations
Secretariat and regional and subregional organizations
as well as national Governments in preventive
diplomacy efforts, including mediation, and welcomed
the promotion of regional approaches to the settlement
of disputes. It requested the Secretary-General to
submit a report on the issue.
The promotion and strengthening of the rule of
law in the maintenance of international peace
and security
On 29 June 2010, the Council held an open
debate on promoting and strengthening the rule of law
in the maintenance of international peace and security.
In a statement by its President (S/PRST/2010/11), the
Council reaffirmed its commitment to an international
order based on the rule of law and international law,
and reaffirmed its strong opposition to impunity for
serious violations of international humanitarian law
and human rights law. It called upon States to settle
disputes peacefully and emphasized the key role of the
International Court of Justice. The Council noted that
the fight against impunity for the most serious crimes
of international concern had been strengthened through
the work of the International Criminal Court and
ad hoc and mixed tribunals, as well as specialized
chambers in national tribunals, and pledged to continue
vigorously to fight impunity and uphold accountability
for the most serious crimes. The Council requested the
Secretary-General to provide a follow-up report within
12 months.
Threats to international peace and security
On 24 February 2010, in his briefing to the
Council, the Executive Director of the United Nations
Office on Drugs and Crime, Antonio Maria Costa,
noted that transnational issues, including drug
trafficking and organized crime, posed serious threats
to international peace and security. He called for more
integrated action and indicated that criminal justice
should figure more prominently in United Nations
peacebuilding and peacekeeping. He further called for
a system-wide response in order to address the crosscutting nature of organized crime.
In the presidential statement adopted at the
meeting (S/PRST/2010/4), the Council noted with
concern the serious threats posed in some cases by
drug trafficking and transnational organized crime to
international security in different regions of the world,
and invited the Secretary-General to consider those
threats as a factor in conflict prevention strategies,
conflict analysis, and the assessment and planning of
integrated missions.
Post-conflict peacebuilding
On 25 November 2009, during an open debate on
post-conflict peacebuilding, the Council invited the
Chair of the Peacebuilding Commission, the Permanent
Representative of Chile, Ambassador Heraldo Muñoz,
to introduce the report of the Commission on its third
session (S/2009/444). The Council welcomed the
strengthening of the Commission’s coordination and
cooperation with relevant stakeholders within and
outside the United Nations system. Council members
further extended their support for the strengthening of
interaction between the Council and the Commission
and underlined their commitment to refining the
Commission’s work by constructively contributing to
its 2010 review.
On 16 April 2010, the Council held an open
debate on post-conflict peacebuilding. The SecretaryGeneral, in his address to the Council, stated that three
objectives of peacebuilding were to deliver peace
dividends to conflict-affected people, to build State
capacity and to adopt a comprehensive approach that Report of the Security Council to the General Assembly
(covering the period from 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010)
22 10-60746
took into account political, security and social
dimensions.
The Permanent Representative of Germany,
Ambassador Peter Wittig, speaking in his capacity as
Chair of the Peacebuilding Commission, stated that the
Commission would continue to explore measures to
deepen United Nations collaboration with the main
actors at the country level and monitor progress
towards the attainment of critical peacebuilding
objectives.
The members of the Council stressed the
importance of an integrated approach to peacebuilding
which strengthened coherence between political,
security, development, human rights and rule-of-law
activities. They noted the important role that the United
Nations could play in supporting national authorities in
their efforts to develop peacebuilding strategies that
addressed priority needs.
Following the debate, the Council adopted a
presidential statement (S/PRST/2010/7), in which it
emphasized the critical importance of post-conflict
peacebuilding as the foundation for building
sustainable peace and development in the aftermath of
conflict.
Cooperation between the United Nations and
regional and subregional organizations in
maintaining international peace and security
On 13 January 2010, the Council considered
cooperation between the United Nations and regional
and subregional organizations in maintaining
international peace and security. The Secretary-General
briefed the Council on cooperation between the United
Nations and regional and subregional organizations and
the conclusions of his retreat with heads of regional
and other organizations on 11 and 12 January 2010.
In the presidential statement adopted as the
outcome of the debate (S/PRST/2010/1), the Council
expressed its intention to consider further steps to
promote closer and more operational cooperation
between the United Nations and regional and
subregional organizations in the fields of conflict early
warning, prevention, peacemaking, peacekeeping and
peacebuilding, and to ensure the coherence, synergy
and collective effectiveness of their efforts. In the
statement, the Council underlined the importance of
utilizing the capabilities of regional and subregional
organizations in the peaceful settlement of local
disputes, including by encouraging countries in the
region to resolve differences peacefully through
dialogue, reconciliation, consultation, negotiation,
good offices, mediation and the judicial settlement of
disputes.
On 4 May 2010, the High Representative for
Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European
Union, Catherine Ashton, briefed the Council on the
European Union’s commitment to the active promotion
of peace, security, justice and human rights, as well as
protection of the vulnerable, and helping people to live
in safety and dignity.
Council members welcomed the contributions of
the European Union to capacity-building in Africa and
expressed their support for the cooperation between the
United Nations and regional and subregional entities,
as enshrined in Chapter VIII of the Charter. They
welcomed the European Union’s support for the efforts
of the United Nations in maintaining international
peace and security, since the two organizations shared
common goals and principles, such as the promotion of
human rights, the rule of law, and development.
Briefings by Chairmen of subsidiary bodies of
the Security Council
On 13 November 2009, the Chairs of the three

resolution 1267 (1999) concerning Al-Qaida and the
Taliban and associated individuals and entities, the
Committee established pursuant to resolution 1373
(2001) concerning counter-terrorism, and the
Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540

open meetings with the participation of the wider
United Nations membership and relevant international
and regional organizations.
The Chair of the Committee established pursuant
to resolution 1267 (1999), the Permanent
Representative of Austria, Ambassador Thomas MayrHarting, briefed the Council about the status of the
implementation of resolution 1822 (2008), in particular
the status of the review of all entries in the
Consolidated List and the publication of narrative
summaries of reasons for listing. In the subsequent
debate, Member States expressed support for the
activities of the three Committees.
On 14 December, the Council was briefed by the
Chair of the Committee established pursuant to
resolution 1132 (1997) concerning Sierra Leone, the
Permanent Representative of Viet Nam, Ambassador
Le Luong Minh; the Chair of the Committee
established pursuant to resolution 1518 (2003)

Burkina Faso, Ambassador Michel Kafando; and the
Chair of the Committee established pursuant to
resolution 1521 (2003) concerning Liberia, the
Permanent Representative of the Libyan Arab

On 11 May 2010, the Council received updates
from the Chairs of the three counter-terrorism
Committees, established pursuant to resolutions 1267
(1999), 1373 (2001) and 1540 (2004). The Permanent
Representative of Mexico, Ambassador Claude Heller,
delivered a joint statement on behalf of the three
Committees and said that the Committees and their
expert groups, inter alia, were implementing a joint
strategy with regard to non-reporting or late-reporting
States and were elaborating a joint strategy to
coordinate with international and regional
organizations. Assistance to Member States,
information exchange and country visits, along with
the possible co-location of the expert groups, were
mentioned as concrete examples of cooperation among
the three Committees and their expert groups.
In a statement made in his capacity as Chair of
the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540
(2004), Ambassador Heller indicated that the resolution
had prompted significant action across the globe, with
nearly 160 States reporting on their capabilities and
challenges in preventing non-State actors from
acquiring weapons of mass destruction. He highlighted
some of the recommendations of the comprehensive
review of resolution 1540 (2004) carried out in
October 2009 and said that many Member States had
welcomed the open meetings of the Committee held
during that review. He added that some countries had
reported the legal measures that they had undertaken to
counter non-State traffic of weapons of mass
destruction, while others had reported gaps in their
legal regimes.
The Chair of the Committee established pursuant
to resolution 1267 (1999), Ambassador Thomas MayrHarting, reported on improved procedures for the
listing and de-listing of individuals and entities,
following the directives of Council resolutions 1822
(2008) and 1904 (2009), in particular the
Ombudsperson for delisting. He informed the Council
about progress made during the review of the
Consolidated List pursuant to resolution 1822 (2008) to
ensure that the Consolidated List remained dynamic
and reflected current threats.
The Chair of the Committee established pursuant
to resolution 1373 (2001), the Permanent
Representative of Turkey, Ambassador Ertuğrul
Apakan, said that the Committee had taken up issues
such as border control and security, the implementation
and assessment of resolution 1624 (2005), maritime
security and terrorist acts committed at sea, the
implementation of extradition requirements, and law
enforcement. He added that the Committee was
working on policy guidance for international legal
cooperation. It was also increasing dialogue with
Member States to identify areas where the
implementation of resolution 1373 (2001) was lagging.
Council members stressed the continued need for
a unified, global fight against terrorism and welcomed
efforts to make the Council’s three Committees more
effective, coordinated and transparent.
Children and armed conflict
On 4 August 2009, by resolution 1882 (2009)
concerning children and armed conflict, the Council
expanded the criteria under which parties to armed
conflict can be included in the annexes to the reports of
the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict,
namely, those parties to armed conflict that engage, in
contravention of applicable international law, in Report of the Security Council to the General Assembly
(covering the period from 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010)
24 10-60746
patterns of killing and maiming of children and/or rape
or sexual violence committed against children. In
addition, the Council requested the Secretary-General
to provide dedicated administrative and substantive
support to the Working Group on Children and Armed
Conflict.
On 16 June 2010, the Council adopted a
presidential statement (S/PRST/2010/10), in which it
reasserted its strong condemnation of the recruitment,
killing, maiming, rape and other abuse of children
during armed conflict, and expressed its readiness to
take targeted and graduated measures against persistent
perpetrators of these crimes.
Protection of civilians in armed conflict
On 11 November 2009, in commemoration of the
tenth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1265
(1999), the Council held an open debate on the
protection of civilians in armed conflict and adopted
resolution 1894 (2009), in which it reiterated its
willingness to respond to situations of armed conflict
in which civilians were being targeted or humanitarian
assistance was being obstructed.
The Council also recognized the need for
comprehensive operational guidance on peacekeeping
missions’ tasks and responsibilities in the
implementation of protection of civilians mandates,
and requested the Secretary-General to develop, in
close consultation with Member States, including
troop- and police-contributing countries and other
relevant actors, an operational concept for the
protection of civilians. The Council requested the
Secretary-General to develop guidelines for United
Nations missions on the reporting on the protection of
civilians with a view to enhancing the Council’s
monitoring and oversight of the implementation of
protection mandates.
On 7 July 2010, the Council held an open debate
in which it expressed support for the ongoing work of
the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner
for Human Rights, the Office of the United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees, the Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and the
Department of Peacekeeping Operations in addressing
the issue. It identified key challenges and called for
better implementation of international human rights
and humanitarian law to address the challenges.
Women and peace and security
On 7 August 2009, the Secretary-General briefed
the Council on his report pursuant to resolution 1820
(2008) (S/2009/362). He underlined the importance of
a multisectoral response to conflict-related sexual
violence, and enhanced United Nations coordination in
the field to prevent continued impunity of the
perpetrators of such acts. The Secretary-General
advised that an independent commission of inquiry
should report to the Council in order to ensure
accountability.
On 30 September, the Council adopted resolution
1888 (2009) on women and peace and security. Council
members addressed the problem of impunity, called for
greater participation of women in peace negotiations,
and urged parties to armed conflict to uphold their
international legal obligations. By that resolution, the
Council strengthened tools for implementing resolution
1820 (2008) and called for the appointment of a
Special Representative to focus on sexual violence in
armed conflict, the creation of a team of experts to
rapidly deploy to situations of particular concern with
respect to sexual violence in armed conflict, the
identification of women’s protection advisers, and
more systematic reporting on situations of sexual
violence in armed conflict.
On 5 October, by resolution 1889 (2009), the
Council urged United Nations bodies, Member States
and civil society to ensure that women’s empowerment
was taken into account during post-conflict needs
assessment, planning and financing, and that actions
were taken to improve women’s participation at all
stages of peace processes, particularly in conflict
resolution and post-conflict peacebuilding.
On 27 April 2010, the Council held a public
meeting during which it was briefed by the Special
Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual
Violence in Conflict, Margot Wallström, and the
Special Adviser of the Secretary-General on Gender
Issues and Advancement of Women, Rachel Mayanja.
The Council adopted a presidential statement
(S/PRST/2010/8), in which it reiterated its support for
the mandate of the Special Representative; took note of
the report of the Secretary-General (S/2010/173); and
expressed its intention to take action on a
comprehensive set of indicators in October 2010. Introduction

Peacekeeping operations and transition and
exit strategies
On 5 August 2009, the Council held an open
debate on peacekeeping, attended by some 20 force and
police commanders of United Nations peacekeeping
missions. The Under-Secretary-General for
Peacekeeping Operations, Alain Le Roy, and the
Under-Secretary-General for Field Support, Susana
Malcorra, briefed the Council on the non-paper entitled
“A new partnership agenda: charting a new horizon for
United Nations peacekeeping”, the result of their joint
review of the United Nations peacekeeping system.
In the debate that followed, there was a broad
consensus among Member States on issues concerning
the United Nations peacekeeping mechanisms. Speakers
supported measures to improve consultation with troop-
and police-contributing countries and the monitoring
and evaluation of missions, and expressed the need for
clear and achievable mandates. Many supported efforts
to improve the transition to peacebuilding. Following
the debate, the Council adopted a presidential statement
(S/PRST/2009/24), in which it emphasized the central
importance of a partnership drawing together the
contributions and commitment of the entire United
Nations system, and the importance of viewing a
peacekeeping operation as an accompaniment, rather
than an alternative, to a political strategy.
On 12 February 2010, the Council held an open
debate on transition and exit strategies for United
Nations peacekeeping operations. The UnderSecretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations and the
Under-Secretary-General for Field Support stressed
that exit and transition strategies could be anticipated
sooner than they currently were. Moreover, they
pointed out that this would be one of the most
important issues related to peacekeeping operations in
the near future. Members of the Council shared the
view that transition and exit strategies were an
important part of peacekeeping operations and should
be planned at an early stage.
Other matters
Implementation of the note by the President of
the Security Council (S/2006/507)
The Council continued to discuss how to improve
its working methods, including in the area of
documentation and other procedural questions. On
22 April 2010, the Council held an open debate on this
issue.
The issue had last been the subject of an open
debate in the Council on 27 August 2008 under the
presidency of Belgium. The debate was based on the
concept paper distributed by Japan (S/2010/165,
annex), in which it proposed that the discussion focus
on three areas of key importance to Council members
and non-members alike: transparency, interaction with
non-members and efficiency.
Most delegations stressed the importance of the
Council’s continuous efforts to improve its openness to
non-members of the Council and the general public,
while ensuring its ability to act effectively and
efficiently. Most representatives of non-members
welcomed the Council’s increased transparency and
enhanced communications with international and
regional organizations and with interested countries
such as troop-contributing countries. Some delegations
praised the increased transparency of sanctions
committees in the process of listing and de-listing.
Others stated that the question of the working methods
should be linked to the overall reform of the Council.
While noting the improvements made in recent years,
most non-members called for fuller implementation of
the note by the President in order to improve
transparency and interaction with the wider
membership.
Taking note of the views expressed by Member
States during the open debate on this issue on 22 April,
the Informal Working Group on Documentation and
Other Procedural Questions undertook a revision of the
presidential note (S/2006/507), to reflect current
procedures and practices of the Council and to
incorporate the Council’s agreements in two other
presidential notes (S/2007/749 and S/2008/847).
The revised presidential note (S/2010/507) was
adopted by the Council on 27 July. The revised note
provided for a number of improvements with a view to
greater efficiency and transparency of the Council’s
working methods. It included a new section on planning
and reporting for Council missions as well as a
provision on communication with the Peacebuilding
Commission. It also referred for the first time to the use
of informal dialogue by the Council in recent years.
The note clarified the Council’s intention to enhance its
dialogue with countries contributing troops to
peacekeeping operations, especially before considering Report of the Security Council to the General Assembly
(covering the period from 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010)
26 10-60746
the renewal of peacekeeping operation mandates. It also
clarified expectations on the part of both the Council
and the Secretariat regarding the submission of reports
of the Secretary-General and briefings.
International Court of Justice
On 29 October 2009, the Council held a private
meeting with the President of the International Court of
Justice, Judge Hisashi Owada, during which the role of
the Court as the principal judicial organ of the United
Nations and its important contributions to international
law, in particular in the field of the peaceful settlement
of international disputes, were underlined.
On 18 March 2010, the Council met to consider a
vacancy on the International Court of Justice following
the resignation of Judge Shi Jiuyong, which would take
effect on 28 May 2010. The Council adopted resolution
1914 (2010), in which it noted with regret the
resignation and decided that the election to fill the
vacancy should take place on 29 June 2010 at a
meeting of the Council and at a meeting of the General
Assembly. On 29 June, in a vote held simultaneously
with the Assembly, the Council elected Xue Hanqin of
China, by secret ballot, to fill the remainder of Judge
Shi’s term of office.
On 2 June, the Council met to consider a further
vacancy on the International Court of Justice,
following the resignation of Judge Thomas
Buergenthal, which would take effect on 6 September.
The Council adopted resolution 1926 (2010), in which
it noted with regret the resignation and decided that the
election to fill the vacancy should take place on
9 September 2010 at a meeting of the Council and at a
meeting of the General Assembly.
Annual report of the Security Council to the
General Assembly
On 29 October 2009, at a public meeting,
following introductory remarks made by the Permanent
Representative of Viet Nam in his capacity as President
of the Council for the month of October, members of
the Council heard a presentation by the Permanent
Representative of Uganda, who, in his capacity as
President of the Council in July 2009, had had the
responsibility for drafting the introductory part of the
annual report of the Council. The Council then adopted
its annual report to the General Assembly for the
period from 1 August 2008 to 31 July 2009 (A/64/2).
On 12 November, as previously agreed by the
other members of the Council, the Permanent
Representative of Austria, in his capacity as President
of the Council for the month, presented to the General
Assembly the annual report of the Council. During the
reporting period, the Council’s work was characterized
by an increase in the number of open debates and open
briefings. 10-60746 27

Work of the subsidiary bodies of the Security Council
Chapter 1
Governing Council of the
United Nations
Compensation Commission
The mandate of the United Nations Compensation
Commission is to process claims and pay compensation
for losses and damages suffered as a direct result of
Iraq’s unlawful invasion and occupation of Kuwait
from 2 August 1990 until 2 March 1991. Funds to pay
compensation are drawn from the United Nations
Compensation Fund, which receives a percentage of
the proceeds generated by the export sales of Iraqi
petroleum and petroleum products. This percentage,
originally set at 30 per cent by the Security Council
under its resolution 705 (1991), is currently at 5 per
cent in accordance with paragraph 21 of Council
resolution 1483 (2003), which provides that 5 per cent
of the proceeds of all export sales of Iraqi petroleum,
petroleum products and natural gas shall be deposited
into the Compensation Fund.
During the period under review, the Governing
Council of the United Nations Compensation
Commission held two regular sessions (sixty-eighth
and sixty-ninth) and a number of informal meetings, at
which it considered various issues related to the
activity of the Commission and payment of
compensation awards to successful claimants. Since
the conclusion of the main aspects of the claims
processing exercise in June 2005, the Commission has
focused its work with a small secretariat on the
payment of awards and on the Follow-up Programme
for Environmental Awards, which was established by
the Council at its fifty-eighth session in December
2005. The purpose of the Programme is to monitor the
use of certain funds awarded by the Commission under
the F4 category of claims to four Governments (Islamic
Republic of Iran, Jordan, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia) in
respect of remediation and restoration projects
intended to compensate for environmental damage. In
total, 26 such projects fall within the scope of the
Programme, and the technical and financial monitoring
undertaken by a small specialized staff within the
secretariat aims to ensure that the projects are designed
and ultimately implemented in a transparent,
appropriate and reasonable manner in the context of the
original purpose of the respective awards.
During the period under review, the Commission
made available a total amount of $2,524,208,889 to the
State of Kuwait for distribution to successful
claimants. The most recent of these payments were
made pursuant to decision 267, adopted by the
Governing Council at its sixty-eighth session following
the conclusion of payments phases 1 and 2 under
decision 256, which had been in operation from its
adoption at the Council’s fifty-eighth session in 2005.
Currently, a total of nine claims with an outstanding
balance of $22,299,341,097 remain to be paid, all in
respect of claims owing to Kuwait.
The Commission has awarded total compensation
in the amount of $52,383,356,716 to individuals,
corporations and Governments. As at 31 July 2010,
$30,148,816,544 has been made available to
Governments and international organizations for
payment to successful claimants.
Chapter 2
Security Council Committee
pursuant to resolutions 751 (1992)
and 1907 (2009) concerning Somalia
and Eritrea*
The Committee pursuant to resolutions 751
(1992) and 1907 (2009) concerning Somalia and
Eritrea is mandated by the Security Council to oversee
the implementation of the arms embargo on Somalia
first imposed by resolution 733 (1992), and
subsequently amended by resolutions 1356 (2001),
1425 (2002), 1725 (2006), 1744 (2007), 1772 (2007),
1846 (2008) and 1851 (2008).
Pursuant to paragraph 11 of resolution 1844
(2008), the Committee is also mandated, in accordance
with the criteria set out in that resolution, to designate
individuals and entities subject to a travel ban, an
assets freeze, and a targeted arms embargo imposed
respectively by paragraphs 1, 3 and 7 of that
* Formerly “Security Council Committee established
pursuant to resolution 751 (1992) concerning Somalia”. Report of the Security Council to the General Assembly
(covering the period from 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010)
178 10-60746
resolution, and to monitor the implementation of those
measures.
On 23 December 2009, the Security Council, by
resolution 1907 (2009), inter alia, imposed a ban on the
sale or supply to and from Eritrea of arms and related
materiel, and on technical assistance and training; the
Council also imposed an assets freeze, a travel ban, and
a targeted arms embargo on individuals and entities
designated by the Committee. As the Council, by
resolution 1907 (2009), had expanded the mandate of
the Committee, the Committee decided on 26 February
2010 to change its name to “Security Council
Committee pursuant to resolutions 751 (1992) and
1907 (2009) concerning Somalia and Eritrea”.
On 19 March 2010, the Security Council, by
resolution 1916 (2010), established for a period of
12 months an exemption to the assets freeze imposed
by paragraph 3 of resolution 1844 (2008) in connection
with the delivery of humanitarian assistance to
Somalia; and requested the United Nations Resident
and Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia to report
every 120 days to the Council on any impediments to
the delivery of humanitarian assistance in Somalia.
The Committee is supported by a Monitoring
Group, whose mandate was extended and expanded,
during the reporting period, by paragraph 19 of
resolution 1907 (2009) and paragraph 6 of resolution
1916 (2010).
In 2009, the Bureau of the Committee consisted
of Claude Heller (Mexico) as Chair, while the
delegations of Croatia and the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya
served as Vice-Chairs. For 2010, Claude Heller
(Mexico) continued to serve as Chair, and the
delegations of Lebanon and Nigeria provided the ViceChairs.
During the reporting period, the Committee
received 14 reports from Member States regarding the
implementation of the measures imposed by resolution
1844 (2008), and 30 reports regarding the
implementation of the measures imposed by resolution
1907 (2009).
During the period under review, the Committee
met four times in informal consultations. It approved
seven requests for exemptions to the arms embargo
pursuant to paragraph 3 of resolution 1356 (2001) and
six requests for exemptions to the arms embargo
pursuant to paragraph 11 (b) of resolution 1772 (2007).
On 24 September 2009, the Committee addressed
a note verbale to all Member States drawing their
attention to the measures contained in resolution 1844
(2008), in particular to the procedures for exemptions
from the arms embargo and to the mandate of the
Monitoring Group.
During its informal consultations on 21 October,
the Committee heard the midterm briefing by the
Monitoring Group on Somalia pursuant to resolution
1853 (2008). The Committee also received a briefing
by the Deputy Special Representative of the SecretaryGeneral for Somalia in accordance with resolution
1844 (2008). The planned visit by the Chair of the
Committee to the region was also discussed.
On 11 December, the Committee issued a press
release deploring acts of intimidation and interference
with the Monitoring Group’s work and urging Member
States to cooperate fully with the investigations of the
Monitoring Group, and to provide the necessary
assistance to ensure that its activities continued
unhindered.
The Committee’s annual report for 2009
(S/2010/14) was issued on 7 January 2010.
On 9 March, the Committee addressed a note
verbale to all Member States drawing their attention to
various provisions contained in resolution 1907 (2009).
In informal consultations on 10 March, the
Committee was briefed by the Monitoring Group on its
final report (S/2010/91), submitted pursuant to
resolution 1853 (2008), and discussed the observations
and recommendations contained therein. During its
informal consultations on 24 March, the Committee
received briefings by the Minister for the Environment
of Somalia and the Deputy Executive Director for
External Relations of the World Food Programme in
connection with the findings set out in the Monitoring
Group’s report. On 30 March, the Committee further
considered the recommendations contained in the
report of the Monitoring Group during informal

On 30 March, the Committee adopted revised
guidelines for the conduct of its work taking account of
the provisions of resolution 1907 (2009). It issued a
press release on 1 April and dispatched the revised
guidelines to all Member States by means of a note
verbale on 21 April. The revised guidelines are also Work of the subsidiary bodies of the Security Council
10-60746 179
available on the Committee’s website, which can be
found at www.un.org/sc/committees/751/index.shtml.
On 12 April, the Committee decided to list eight

Chapter 3
International Tribunal for the
Prosecution of Persons Responsible for
Serious Violations of International
Humanitarian Law Committed in the
Territory of the Former Yugoslavia
since 1991
Judicial activity remained intense over the
reporting period. In total, from 1 August 2009 to
31 July 2010, the Appeals Chamber delivered three
judgements involving six persons. The Trial Chambers
delivered the judgement in Prosecutor v. Popović et al.,
involving seven accused persons, and at their peak ran
10 trials in the Tribunal’s three courtrooms, taking
advantage of interstices in trial schedules. Proceedings
against 126 of the 161 persons indicted by the Tribunal
have been completed. At the close of the reporting
period, appeal proceedings are ongoing for 14 persons,
and 18 are currently on trial. No accused remain at the
pretrial stage. Unfortunately, two more accused remain
at large, their continuing flight jeopardizing the
successful implementation of the completion strategy.
The Tribunal has improved efficiency by
implementing various procedural reforms aimed at
increasing the speed of proceedings, while respecting
fully the due process rights of the accused. The
Tribunal is continuously looking for new measures to
improve the conduct of its proceedings and to protect
the accused’s right to an expeditious trial. As part of
this commitment, the Working Group on Speeding Up
Trials was reconstituted to undertake a third review of
the Tribunal’s practices in order to assess whether
further improvements could be implemented in the
work of the Chambers. The recommendations of the
Working Group were adopted by the judges at an
extraordinary plenary session held on 7 June 2010. On
the basis of the efforts of the Working Group on
Contempt and the Rules Committee, the judges
adopted, at the 38th plenary session, held on
10 December 2009, a new rule of procedure and
evidence — rule 92 quinquies — in order to regulate
the admission of evidence in a trial where witnesses
have been made unavailable owing to intimidation and
bribery, thus allowing core proceedings to go forward
even where there are attempts to interfere with the
administration of justice. The Office of the Prosecutor
took a number of steps to reduce the time necessary to
present cases in ongoing trials by using written
evidence in lieu of oral testimony, by moving the Trial
Chambers to take judicial notice of adjudicated facts,
and by endeavouring to speed up the transition from
pretrial to trial.
The Security Council by resolution 1877 (2009)
extended the terms of office of the Tribunal’s
permanent and ad litem judges until 31 December
2010. In resolution 1900 (2009), the Council
underlined its intention to extend, by 30 June 2010, the
terms of office of all trial judges until 31 December
2012 on the basis of the Tribunal’s projected trial
schedule and the terms of office of all appeal judges.
By resolution 1931 (2010), the Council extended the
terms of office of the appeal judges to 31 December
2012 and of the permanent trial and ad litem judges to
31 December 2011; underlined its intention to extend,
by 30 June 2011, the terms of office of the trial judges
on the basis of the Tribunal’s projected trial schedule,
and requested the President of the Tribunal to submit
an updated trial and appeals schedule no later than
15 May 2011. In the light of the current trial and
appeal schedule, a number of judges will require
further extensions of their terms of office in order to
complete the cases to which they are assigned.
Viewing the completion strategy as a strategy
designed to allow the continuation of the Tribunal’s Report of the Security Council to the General Assembly
(covering the period from 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010)
180 10-60746
activities by domestic courts in the former Yugoslavia,
the Tribunal hosted a number of working visits,
seminars, training programmes, and conferences for
judicial professionals in the region. On 23 and
24 February 2010, the Tribunal staged a donor-funded
conference that gathered more than 350 participants
from the international community and the countries of
the former Yugoslavia to discuss aspects of the
Tribunal’s legacy, particularly in the region. On 1 May,
the Tribunal and the Office for Democratic Institutions
and Human Rights of the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe launched a joint 18-month
project funded by the European Union aimed at
assisting the national judiciaries of the region in
securing their capacity to investigate, prosecute and
adjudicate war crimes cases. Within the framework of
this joint project, the Tribunal is also directly
implementing a project to translate trial transcripts and
research tools into the languages of the region.
The Office of the Prosecutor further strengthened
its cooperation with national prosecutorial authorities,
by sharing information and expertise. A concrete
example is the joint project of the European Union
Commission and the Office of the Prosecutor enabling
liaison prosecutors and interns from the region to work
at the Tribunal. Liaison prosecutors work within the
Office of the Prosecutor on their own cases, while
interns assist prosecution lawyers with trials and
appeals at the Tribunal. During the reporting period,
the Office of the Prosecutor continued to transfer
investigative materials to Bosnia and Herzegovina,
including four complete case files, relating to
11 suspects.
The Tribunal continued to respond to requests
from judges or parties in other jurisdictions for access
to confidential case-related material relevant to
proceedings before domestic courts. Such proceedings
are conducted pursuant to rule 75 (H) of the Rules of
Procedure and Evidence, which was adopted in order to
assist other jurisdictions in trying war crimes cases in
their own courts.
The Tribunal continued to cooperate with the
Office of the Legal Counsel in the development of a
residual mechanism further to the Secretary-General’s
report on the subject.
Chapter 4
International Criminal Tribunal for the
Prosecution of Persons Responsible for
Genocide and Other Serious Violations
of International Humanitarian Law
Committed in the Territory of Rwanda
and Rwandan Citizens Responsible for
Genocide and Other Such Violations
Committed in the Territory of
Neighbouring States between
1 January 1994 and 31 December 1994
Since August 2009, the International Criminal
Tribunal for Rwanda has continued to pursue the
implementation of its completion strategy with vigour,
while upholding the principle of fairness to accused
persons on trial.
The Office of the Prosecutor arrested three more
fugitives during the reporting period. The ten
remaining fugitives are still being tracked, especially
the three whose trials are planned for Arusha (Félicien
Kabuga, Protais Mpiranya and Augustin Bizimana).
The other seven fugitives are to be referred to national
jurisdictions. The Office of the Prosecutor experienced
difficulties in securing the cooperation of Kenya in
regard to the fugitive Félicien Kabuga. The incident
was reported to the Security Council and the
Prosecutor continues to engage Kenyan authorities for
better cooperation. The Office of the Prosecutor also
continued to respond to the increasing number of
requests for legal assistance from national jurisdictions
for the prosecution or extradition of Rwandan fugitives
appearing on the INTERPOL list.
The Tribunal continued to engage with Rwanda in
its efforts to address the obstacles to the referral of
cases. In the meantime, the Prosecutor handed over to
Rwanda the case files of 25 suspects who have been
investigated but not indicted. It is expected that
Rwanda will take appropriate action.
Preparations are under way for the taking of
depositions of key witnesses in the cases of the
fugitives whose trials are planned for Arusha. This will
ensure the preservation of their evidence, should they
be unavailable to testify when the fugitives are
eventually tried.
Five judgements in single-accused cases were
delivered, including a sentencing judgement for a Work of the subsidiary bodies of the Security Council
10-60746 181
guilty plea and a retrial, and the evidence phase in five
single-accused trials was completed. In total, seven
cases involving 18 accused are now in the judgement
drafting phase, and six more judgements are expected
before the end of 2010. Trials are in progress in three
cases involving five persons. In all remaining trials, the
delivery of the judgement is expected before the end of
2011.
At the appeals level, in addition to interlocutory
decisions and pre-appeal orders, four judgements in
single-accused cases were delivered, including in a
contempt case. This brings to 31 the total number of
persons whose cases have been completed thus far. Six
appeals are pending.
The Registry continued to support the judicial
process by servicing the other organs of the Tribunal
and the defence, and by seeking support from States
and international institutions, inter alia, to ensure the
appearance of witnesses and their safety, and to secure
funding for activities not covered by the regular
budget.
During the reporting period, one prisoner was
released after serving his sentence. Two detainees were
acquitted. The Tribunal relocated one acquitted person,
but three remain under the Tribunal’s protection,
despite the Registrar’s efforts to secure a country of
residence. One convicted person was transferred to a
Member State to serve his sentence. One accused
person, Joseph Nzirorera, died during the course of his
trial.
In line with the Tribunal’s completion strategy,
the Registry (a) has stepped up all outreach activities,
including the organization of capacity-building
programmes for the Rwandan judiciary; (b) has
continued its work on legacy issues; and (c) has
continued to provide active support in the trialreadiness of cases.
The Tribunal continues its intense efforts to
comply with the completion strategy. The Tribunal
commenced 10 new trials in 2009: the evidence phase
has been completed in eight of these cases, and
judgement has already been delivered in four.
Projections for the completion of the first instance have
been modified to take into account the fact that,
following additional arrests, new trials have yet to
commence. Moreover, owing in particular to fair trial
requirements and staffing constraints, the completion
of the evidence phase and judgement drafting of some
cases is delayed. By resolution 1932 (2010), the
Security Council has therefore granted, at the request
of the Tribunal, another extension of the mandate of
five permanent and nine ad litem judges until the end
of 2011 or the completion of the cases they are
assigned to, if sooner. The services of the Appeals
Chamber judges have been extended until the end of
2012 or the completion of their cases, if sooner. By that
resolution, the Council noted the importance of an
adequate staffing level for the expeditious completion
of the Tribunal’s work and called upon the Secretariat
and other relevant United Nations bodies to continue to
work with the Registrar in order to find practicable
solutions to address this issue.

Chapter 6
Security Council Committee
established pursuant to resolution 1267
(1999) concerning Al-Qaida and the
Taliban and associated individuals
and entities
The Committee established pursuant to resolution
1267 (1999) is mandated by the Security Council to

served as Vice-Chairs. During the reporting period, the
Committee held one formal and 35 informal meetings.
During the reporting period the Committee
completed its comprehensive review, pursuant to
resolution 1822 (2008), of the 488 names that were
included in the Consolidated List on 30 June 2008. For
443 entries the Committee found that listing remains
appropriate, while 45 names were removed from the
List after the Committee acceded to requests from
Member States for the removal of those names. In
addition, the information gathered and analysed during
the review process has resulted in numerous updates of
entries on the List and narrative summaries of reasons
for listing, thereby improving the quality of the List
and narrative summaries.
The Committee also continued to make accessible
on its website narrative summaries of reasons for
listing for each entry on the Consolidated List,
including at the time a new name is added, in
accordance with paragraph 14 of resolution 1904
(2009). As at 31 July 2010, the Committee had posted
on its website 207 narrative summaries. Narrative
summaries that have been posted on the Committee’s
website can be found at www.un.org/sc/committees/
1267/narrative.shtml.
On 3 June 2010 the Secretary-General appointed,
in close consultation with the Committee, an
Ombudsperson to assist the Committee in its
consideration of requests for de-listing, in accordance
with paragraph 20 of resolution 1904 (2009). The Chair
of the Committee held a press conference on 15 July
2010 at which the Ombudsperson participated.
In view of the appointment of the Ombudsperson,
the focal point mechanism established pursuant to
resolution 1730 (2006) shall no longer receive requests
for de-listing concerning names included in the
Committee’s Consolidated List, as decided by the
Council in paragraph 21 of resolution 1904 (2009). In
the same paragraph, however, the Council noted that
the focal point shall continue to receive requests from
individuals and entities seeking to be removed from
other sanctions lists.
Pursuant to resolution 1822 (2008), the Chair of
the Committee undertook three visits to selected
countries during the reporting period. On 8 and
9 October 2009 he visited Brussels, to discuss with
officials of European Union institutions the
implementation of the sanctions measures imposed by
the European Union and its 27 member States. The
Chair then participated in an international workshop of
national counter-terrorism focal points, held in Vienna
on 12 and 13 October 2009. On 3 and 4 June 2010 he
attended the 9th Meeting of Heads of Special Services,
Security Agencies and Law Enforcement
Organizations, held on Yekaterinburg, Russian

On 28 September 2009, the Chair transmitted the
tenth report of the Analytical Support and Sanctions
Monitoring Team, established by resolution 1526
(2004), to the President of the Security Council Work of the subsidiary bodies of the Security Council
10-60746 183
(S/2009/502). The Committee conveyed its position on
the Monitoring Team’s tenth report in its own written
assessment, which was transmitted to the President of
the Security Council on 5 March 2010 (S/2010/125).
During the reporting period, the Analytical
Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team continued to
assist the Committee in carrying out the tasks
described in the annex to resolution 1822 (2008) and
annex I to resolution 1904 (2009).
Pursuant to resolutions 1822 (2008) and 1904
(2009), the Chair presented to the Security Council his
180-day oral briefings, together with the Chairs of the
Committees established pursuant to resolutions 1373
(2001) and 1540 (2004), on 13 November 2009 and
11 May 2010. By means of those briefings the Council
was informed of the work of the Committee and the
Monitoring Team, as well as of the implementation of
the sanctions measures by States.
On 27 January and 29 July 2010, the Chair of the
Committee held public briefings for Member States, at
which he relayed information concerning, inter alia, the
review of names on the Consolidated List pursuant to
resolution 1822 (2008), on the new provisions of
resolution 1904 (2009), and on the establishment of the
Office of the Ombudsperson.
On 28 October 2009, the Committee met with the

On 12 January 2010, the Committee made
available on its website new standard forms for listing
of individuals and entities to be used when proposing
the inclusion of names in the Committee’s
Consolidated List. New fields have been added to the
standard forms with a view to improving the quality
and precision of the information contained in listing
requests. The Security Council, in paragraph 13 of its
resolution 1904 (2009), called upon Member States to
use the new standard forms when proposing names to
the Committee for inclusion in the Consolidated List.
On 22 July, the Committee issued revised
guidelines for the conduct of its work, in accordance
with paragraph 35 of resolution 1904 (2009),
including, inter alia, the sections concerning listing,
de-listing, and matters left pending before the
Committee. The new guidelines and other updated
information reflecting the provisions of resolution
1904 (2009) have been made available on the
Committee’s website.
During the reporting period, the Committee
added the names of 10 individuals and one entity to the
Al-Qaida section and three individuals to the Taliban
section of the Consolidated List. The Committee
updated the information contained in 65 entries
referring to individuals associated with Al-Qaida, five
entities associated with Al-Qaida, and six individuals
associated with the Taliban. The Consolidated List is

committees/1267/consolist.shtml.
During the reporting period, the Committee
de-listed 14 individuals and 21 entities from the
Al-Qaida section and 10 individuals from the Taliban
section of the Consolidated List. The Committee
received 11 requests for de-listing from the focal point
for de-listing during the reporting period concerning 19
names on the Consolidated List, and continued its
consideration of two requests which were still being
processed at the end of the last reporting period,
concerning three names. Of those 22 names, the
Committee removed the names of four individuals and
seven entities from its Consolidated List after acceding
to their requests for de-listing. Six individuals and
three entities remained on the List after the process of
the consideration of their requests within the
Committee had been completed. De-listing requests
concerning two individuals remained under the
consideration of the Committee on 31 July 2010.
Finally, during the reporting period the Ombudsperson
received one request for de-listing from a petitioner
and commenced the procedures outlined in annex II to
resolution 1904 (2009).
The Committee continued to consider
notifications and requests submitted pursuant to
resolution 1452 (2002) in accordance with the
guidelines for the conduct of its work. The Committee
also approved a request for an exemption to the travel
ban set out in paragraph 1 (b) of resolution 1822
(2008).
During the reporting period, four States submitted
their reports on the implementation of sanctions
measures in accordance with resolution 1455 (2003),

submitted checklists to 62.
The Committee also continued its cooperation
with INTERPOL. The publication of INTERPOLSecurity Council Special Notices for individuals and
entities included in the Committee’s Consolidated List
serves, inter alia, to assist Member States in
implementing the relevant sanctions measures by
alerting national law enforcement agencies that an
assets freeze, a travel ban and an arms embargo are in
place with regard to the targeted individuals and
entities. As at 31 July 2010, 366 notices for individuals
and entities were published on the INTERPOL website.

Chapter 7
Security Council Committee
established pursuant to resolution 1373
(2001) concerning counter-terrorism
The Committee established pursuant to resolution
1373 (2001) concerning counter-terrorism, known as
the Counter-Terrorism Committee, is mandated to
monitor the implementation of that resolution. The
Committee has been assisted in its work by the
Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate,
established by resolution 1535 (2004) for an initial
period ending on 31 December 2007. By resolution
1805 (2008), the Council decided that the Executive
Directorate will continue to operate as a special
political mission under the policy guidance of the
Counter-Terrorism Committee until 31 December
2010.
In 2009, the Bureau of the Committee was
chaired by the delegation of Croatia, Neven Jurica
serving until 18 September 2009, when Ranko Vilović
became Chair. The delegations of France, the Russian
Federation and Viet Nam served as Vice-Chairs, each
also chairing one of the Committee’s three
subcommittees. From 31 January 2010 Ertuğrul
Apakan (Turkey) served as Chair of the Committee,
with Gabon replacing Viet Nam as one of the ViceChairs.
During the reporting period, the Committee held
17 formal meetings, three informal meetings and
11 subcommittee meetings.
During the reporting period, the Committee
submitted three semi-annual work programmes to the
Security Council, covering the periods from July to
December 2009 (S/2009/389); January to June 2010
(S/2010/89); and July to December 2010 (S/2010/366).
Resolution 1373 (2001) sets out a comprehensive
agenda of counter-terrorism activities, including steps
aimed at bringing to justice perpetrators of terrorist
acts as well as those who harbour, aid and support
them. It also requires all States to cooperate on a wide
range of issues related to counter-terrorism.
The Committee continued to use the preliminary
implementation assessment as an analytical tool
designed to provide a systematic, even-handed,
transparent and effective way to monitor the extent to
which States had met their obligations under resolution
1373 (2001).
The Committee also continued its “stocktaking”
exercise aimed at enhancing the Committee’s dialogue
with each State and bolstering that State’s counterterrorism defences and capacity to cooperate
internationally. In the context of the “stocktaking”
exercise, the Committee approved updated preliminary
implementation assessments for 63 States and sent them
to those States with an invitation to provide updates
including new information on their progress in
implementing the resolution. The Committee also
continued the practice of inviting the Permanent
Representatives of certain Member States to meet
informally with their relevant subcommittees to discuss
the preliminary implementation assessment for those
States, problems encountered by them in providing
information to the Committee, and ways to further
enhance their dialogue with the Committee. During the
period under review, the subcommittees met with the
Permanent Representatives or designated representatives
of 20 States.
During the reporting period, the CounterTerrorism Committee Executive Directorate updated
the technical guide to the implementation of resolution
1373 (2001), which was endorsed by the Committee on
10 December 2009.
The Committee continued, through its Executive
Directorate, to conduct visits to Member States, with
their consent, in order to engage in detailed discussions
on the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001) in
line with resolution 1535 (2004). During the reporting Work of the subsidiary bodies of the Security Council
10-60746 185
period, the Committee visited Azerbaijan, Bahrain,
Ghana, Oman and Timor-Leste.
The Committee continued to work to deepen its
engagement and cooperation with international,
regional and subregional organizations; it encouraged
and assisted them in the development of capacities that
would improve their ability to assist their members
with the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001). On
3 December 2009, the Committee with the assistance
of its Executive Directorate submitted its second report
on the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001)
(S/2009/620), focusing on areas of counter-terrorism
legislation, counter-financing of terrorism, law
enforcement, border control, and international
cooperation. To ensure the effective implementation of
all relevant obligations of Member States in the area of
international cooperation the Committee, on 14 June
2010, adopted by means of the silence procedure
policy guidance on international cooperation in the
work of the Counter-Terrorism Committee.
During the reporting period, the Committee was
briefed by the President of the Financial Action Task
Force; the United Nations High Commissioner for
Human Rights; the President of the Financial Action
Task Force of South America against Money
Laundering; the Director for Legal Advice and Public

and considered the observations and recommendations
contained therein. On 9 December, the Committee
considered a draft report on the comprehensive review
of reports received from Member States pursuant to
resolutions 1718 (2006) and 1874 (2009). During its
informal consultations on 20 January 2010, the
Committee continued with the review of reports
received from Member States on measures taken to
fully implement resolutions 1718 (2006) and 1874
(2009) and discussed the modalities of visits by the
Panel of Experts, which were adopted by means of the
silence procedure on 1 February. In informal
consultations on 1 July, the Committee heard a
presentation on the final report of the Panel of Experts Report of the Security Council to the General Assembly
(covering the period from 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010)
192 10-60746
submitted to the Security Council on 12 May. The
Committee also exchanged views on three discussion
papers prepared by the Panel of Experts on luxury
goods; small arms and light weapons; and the activities
of diplomatic missions. Finally, the Committee
considered its draft programme of work for the period
from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011.
In accordance with paragraph 12 (g) of resolution
1718 (2006), the Chair presented periodic reports to the
Council on the work of the Committee, on 20 August
and 19 November 2009 and on 11 February and
27 May 2010. During the period under review, five
Member States reported to the Committee pursuant to
paragraph 11 of resolution 1718 (2006) and 38 Member
States pursuant to paragraph 22 of resolution 1874
(2009).

Chapter 16
Security Council Committee
established pursuant to resolution
1737 (2006)
The Committee established pursuant to resolution
1737 (2006) is mandated to oversee the implementation
of the relevant measures imposed by resolutions 1737
(2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008) and 1929 (2010)
with respect to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Those
measures include a proliferation-sensitive nuclear
activities-related and nuclear weapon delivery systemsrelated embargo; a ban on the export or procurement of
any arms and related materiel from the Islamic
Republic of Iran and a ban on the supply of seven
specified categories of conventional weapons and
related materiel to that country; an assets freeze and a
travel ban on designated individuals and/or entities.
In resolution 1929 (2010), among other things,
under specified conditions and circumstances, the
Council called for the inspection of cargo to and from
the Islamic Republic of Iran and authorized the seizure
and disposal of items identified during inspection, the
supply of which to that country is prohibited.
Moreover, under specified circumstances, the Council
introduced a ban on the provision of bunkering and
other servicing of Iranian vessels, and decided that all
States shall exercise vigilance when doing business
with Iranian entities, including entities of the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Islamic Republic
of Iran Shipping Lines. In accordance with resolution
1929 (2010), in carrying out its mandate the
Committee is to be assisted by a Panel of Experts, the
tasks of which are set out in paragraph 29 of the same
resolution. The web page of the Committee can be
found at www.un.org/sc/committees/1737/index.shtml.
In 2009 and 2010, Yukio Takasu (Japan) served as
Chair of the Committee. The delegations of Burkina
Faso and Costa Rica provided the Vice-Chairs in 2009.
In 2010, the delegation of Nigeria serves as Vice-Chair.
During the period under review, the Committee
held no meetings but conducted its work using the
silence procedure.
The Committee received reports of two further
violations of paragraph 5 of resolution 1747 (2007), by
which the Council imposed a ban on the export or
procurement of any arms and related materiel from the
Islamic Republic of Iran. Both violations involved one
other State in addition to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Both violations also involved the Islamic Republic of
Iran Shipping Lines, which had chartered the vessels
(the MV Hansa India and the MV Francop,
respectively) transporting the materiel from the Islamic
Republic of Iran to that other State. In response to each
report, the Committee dispatched letters to the two
States inviting them to provide, within a specific time
frame, an explanation for the transactions as well as
additional relevant information, and reminded them of
their obligation to accept and carry out the decisions of
the Security Council under Article 25 of the Charter of
the United Nations. To date, the Committee has
received responses from the reported State of
destination only. The Committee also wrote to all three
reporting Member States, expressing its appreciation
for their responsible actions and urging them to
continue to cooperate closely with the Committee and
with any other States that might be investigating the
cases. Finally, the Committee wrote to the States with
the reported links to the MV Francop, inviting them to
provide any additional relevant information. The flag
State subsequently submitted documentation
confirming that the vessel had been carrying armsrelated materiel originating from the Islamic Republic
of Iran; and the feeder company State provided
additional information regarding the activities of that
vessel. With respect to the incident involving the MV
Hansa India, the Committee issued an implementation Work of the subsidiary bodies of the Security Council
10-60746 193
assistance notice — the second of its kind — which
can be found on the Committee’s web page.
The Committee received, pursuant to paragraph
15 of resolution 1737 (2006), four notifications,
followed by additional information in two instances,
concerning the intention of a State to authorize the
unfreezing of assets in order to cover payments due
under contracts entered into prior to the listing of an
entity. Furthermore, the Committee received six
notifications in connection with the delivery of items
for use in the nuclear power plant in Bushehr, Islamic
Republic of Iran. The Committee also addressed the
issue of an intended delivery of items for use in that
plant.
The Committee responded to three written
requests from Member States for guidance on various
aspects of the sanctions regime. The Committee
received two communications in relation to the travel
notification measure that was in place at the time.
With regard to reporting by States on the
implementation of all relevant measures set out in
resolutions 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008) and
1929 (2010), by the end of the period under review, the
Committee had received 92 reports under resolution
1737 (2006), 79 reports under resolution 1747 (2007)
and 68 reports under resolution 1803 (2008). Reports
under resolution 1929 (2010) are due by 8 August 2010.
The Chair of the Committee delivered four
periodic reports to the Security Council, pursuant to
subparagraph 18 (h) of resolution 1737 (2006), on
9 September and 10 December 2009 and on 4 March
and 28 June 2010.
On 23 July 2010, pursuant to resolution 1929
(2010), the Committee approved and submitted to the
Council a work programme covering compliance,
investigations, outreach, dialogue, assistance and
cooperation.
Chapter 17
Working Group on
Peacekeeping Operations
The Working Group on Peacekeeping Operations
held four meetings in the latter half of 2009 and four
meetings in the first half of 2010, with the participation
of major troop-contributing countries and policecontributing countries, the Bureaux of the Special
Committee on Peacekeeping Operations, representatives
of regional organizations and other relevant
stakeholders. In the second half of 2009, the Working
Group had a discussion on enhancement of cooperation
with troop-contributing countries, police-contributing
countries and other stakeholders. The Chair of the
Working Group submitted the interim report of the
Working Group (S/2009/659) to the President of the
Security Council on 17 December. In the first half of
2010, the Working Group had a discussion on key gaps
in capabilities, resources and training which need to be
closed in order to effectively implement Security
Council mandates. The Chair of the Working Group
submitted the interim report of the Working Group
(S/2010/424) to the President on 27 July.
Chapter 18
Ad Hoc Working Group on Conflict
Prevention and Resolution in Africa
The Ad Hoc Working Group on Conflict
Prevention and Resolution in Africa continues to carry
out its mandate as a subsidiary organ of the Security
Council, pursuant to the presidential statement of
31 January 2002 (S/PRST/2002/2), in which the Council,
inter alia, recognized the need for adequate measures to
prevent and resolve conflicts in Africa, and indicated
its intention to consider the setting up of an ad hoc
Working Group to monitor the recommendations
contained in its presidential statement and to enhance
coordination with the Economic and Social Council.
Following consultations among the members of
the Security Council, it was agreed that the Working
Group, initially established on 1 March 2002 (see
S/2002/207) for a period of one year, would continue
its work until 31 December 2010 (see S/2009/650).
During the reporting period, the Working Group
remained under the Chairmanship of Ruhakana
Rugunda (Uganda). After consultations among the
members of the Council, it was agreed to re-elect
Uganda as Chair of the Working Group for the period
ending on 31 December 2010.
During the period under review, the Working
Group held four meetings to consider issues within its
remit. On 9 December 2009, the Working Group heard
a briefing by the Director of the Office of the Special
Adviser on Africa, Patrick Hayford, on how the special
needs of countries in Africa emerging from conflict Report of the Security Council to the General Assembly
(covering the period from 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010)
194 10-60746
could be addressed by assisting the countries in laying
the foundations for sustainable peace and development.
Following the briefing, the speaker and members of the
Working Group exchanged views.
On 11 June 2010 the Working Group met to
consider its programme of work for 2010 as proposed
by the Chair. It adopted the programme of work
without any amendments. The programme of work was
aimed at bringing some added value to the Security
Council’s discussion of various conflict resolution
issues pertaining to Africa. Consequently, the Working
Group agreed that it would continue to hold informal
and thematic meetings, workshops, forums and, if
possible, seminars, with a view to making proposals to
the Council on measures that might best assist it in
taking action and implementing more effectively
strategies aimed at conflict prevention and resolution
in Africa.
The Working Group also agreed to review how
the United Nations, working with the African Union,
could facilitate the implementation of more effective
early warning and response mechanisms for the
prevention and resolution of conflicts in Africa;
examine how the United Nations working with the
African Union can support security sector reform on
the continent; and discuss how the peacebuilding
priorities of post-conflict countries in Africa can be
supported in a more effective way, to lay a foundation
for sustainable peace and development. Finally, the
Working Group agreed to consider ways of improving
and strengthening the cooperation and the consultative
process between the Security Council and the African
Union Peace and Security Council.
On 18 June 2010 the Working Group met to
exchange views prior to the annual joint consultative
meeting of the Security Council and the African Union
Peace and Security Council on 9 July and the
envisaged Working Group open interactive panel
discussion scheduled for July on early warning
mechanisms in Africa. The Chair proposed to the
members of the Working Group that the panel
discussion should be a public meeting and open to
non-members. of the Council. He recalled that all the
meetings in 2009 were closed, thus denying the
Working Group the chance of benefiting from possible
contributions from the general United Nations
membership.
On 9 July the representative of Uganda
participated in the fourth joint consultative meeting of
the Security Council and the African Union Peace and
Security Council. Uganda participated actively in all
aspects of the meeting, including negotiation of the
communiqué that was adopted. The Nigerian
presidency of the Security Council (for July) was
instrumental in coordinating and negotiating the
communiqué that was adopted as the outcome of the
meeting. The meeting, in contrast to earlier ones,
focused largely on substantive issues.
On 20 July 2010, members of the Working Group
were briefed by Under-Secretary-General for Political
Affairs, B. Lynn Pascoe, on the proposed United
Nations regional office for Central Africa. The Chair
recalled that in 2009 the Secretary-General had, in a
letter addressed to the President of the Council
(S/2009/697), expressed his intention to establish the
office. However, some Council members had at that
time requested further clarification and explanation on
a number of issues. The Chair noted that, subsequently,
there had been a number of interactions on the
proposed office. The presence of the Under-SecretaryGeneral, therefore, was intended to provide an
opportunity for further clarification.
In his briefing, the Under-Secretary-General
noted that the plan to establish a regional office for
Central Africa was a response to the requests of Heads
of State in Central Africa, the States members of the
Economic Community of Central African States, and
Council members who had emphasized in a presidential
statement on 31 October 2002 (S/PRST/2002/31) the
importance of a comprehensive, integrated, resolute
and concerted approach to the issues of peace, security
and development in Central Africa. He noted that in the
past year the Department of Political Affairs had held
extensive consultations in the region on how to ensure
that the office would be productive and effective.
Moreover, as the Department had since been
strengthened, it could now support the office at full
capacity.
The Under-Secretary-General emphasized that the
office would be entrusted with a mandate to promote
peace and security in the subregion and would work
closely with national and regional organizations, as
well as United Nations country teams in the region. He
also pointed out that since the office would carry out
good offices in conflict prevention and peacebuilding it
would be an effective tool for preventive diplomacy. It Work of the subsidiary bodies of the Security Council
10-60746 195
would also strengthen the capacity of the Department
of Political Affairs to advise the Secretary-General on
matters relating to peace and security in the subregion.
He underlined the prospective advantage of a regional
office, such as that of being based in the field, with a
minimum logistical capability that would let it work
closely with regional organizations and capitals.
In conclusion, the Under-Secretary-General
remarked that, as the experience of the United Nations
Office for West Africa (UNOWA) had shown, the
presence of a regional office in Central Africa would
translate to concrete savings in financial costs
compared to the costs involved in peacekeeping or
those associated with the various United Nations
offices in the region. He also mentioned that, since the
Government of Gabon had offered to provide, at no
cost to the United Nations, office space and
accommodation for the head of the office, and because
it would share technical and human resources with
other United Nations field presences, the office would
have minimal set-up costs. He stressed that there was
currently no plan to set up other regional offices.
Several Council members, including Nigeria,
China, France, Japan and Lebanon, cited the value in
having a regional office in Central Africa, and referred
to the many complex issues facing the region. Citing
the role of UNOWA, they drew parallels on the utility
of such an office. Some also cited the possible costeffective aspects of the office. The representative of
Japan held that any costs would be offset by savings in
peacekeeping missions in the region.
On the other hand, the representative of the
United Kingdom conveyed his country’s reservations
and arguments against the proposal, considering, first,
that the effectiveness of the current structure was not
adequate, and there was not much information on the
expected and concrete outputs. Secondly, the model of
a “regional office” might not necessarily apply to other
regions as it had in West Africa, where it had been
effective. Furthermore, the United Kingdom considered
that the office would be too expensive, even after the
proposed amendments. The representative of the
United Kingdom observed that the challenges to
international peace and security were complex, and
questioned whether, in real terms and value, the office
could deliver more on conflict prevention if established
to deal with the Horn of Africa, meanwhile reiterating
his doubt as to the purpose and effectiveness of the
office.
The representatives of the United States of
America and Mexico, while acknowledging the
benefits of preventive diplomacy, and hence such an
office, wished to study the proposal further, especially
the financial aspects. In response, the Under-SecretaryGeneral reiterated that the cost of the planned office
would be about half the cost of the two previous
United Nations offices in the region. He remarked that
it was blatantly obvious that setting up the office would
be cost-effective, and underlined the concern on
maintaining a minimal United Nations presence at the
regional level, as neither peacekeeping operations nor
the country teams were prepared to deal with certain
regional issues.
Chapter 19
Working Group established pursuant
to resolution 1566 (2004)
In accordance with paragraphs 9 and 10 of
Security Council resolution 1566 (2004) the Working
Group is tasked to examine (a) practical measures to be
imposed upon individuals, groups or entities involved
in or associated with terrorist activities, other than
those designated by the Committee established pursuant

(Turkey).
During the reporting period, the Working Group
held one meeting, on 23 March 2010, at which it heard
a briefing by the Special Adviser to the UnderSecretary-General for Political Affairs on counterterrorism matters, Jean-Paul Laborde. The briefing
focused largely on the work the Counter-Terrorism
Implementation Task Force is engaged in to support the
victims of terrorist acts and their families. Views were
also exchanged by the members regarding the possible
future work of the Working Group. Report of the Security Council to the General Assembly

Chapter 20
Working Group on Children and
Armed Conflict
The Working Group on Children and Armed
Conflict is mandated by the Security Council to review
the reports of the monitoring and reporting mechanism
referred to in paragraph 2 of resolution 1612 (2005)
and the progress in the development and
implementation of the action plans mentioned in
paragraph 7 of the resolution, and to consider other
relevant information presented to it.
The monitoring and reporting mechanism seeks
to monitor the recruitment and use of child soldiers in
violation of applicable international law and other
violations and abuses committed against children
affected by armed conflict, involving, in contravention
of applicable international law, killing and maiming,
rape and other sexual violence, abductions, attacks
against schools or hospitals and denial of humanitarian
access.
The Working Group is mandated, in particular,
(a) to make recommendations to the Council on
possible measures to promote the protection of children
affected by armed conflict, including through
recommendations on appropriate mandates for
peacekeeping missions and recommendations with
respect to the parties to the conflict; and (b) to address
requests, as appropriate, to other bodies within the
United Nations system for action to support the
implementation of resolutions 1612 (2005) and 1882
(2009) in accordance with their respective mandates.
During the reporting period, and pursuant to
resolution 1612 (2005), the Chair of the Working
Group submitted a report to the Council on
developments in relation to the Working Group for the
period from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010 (S/2010/410).
On the basis of reports of the Secretary-General
produced in the context of the monitoring and
reporting mechanism mentioned above, the Working
Group considered the situation of children in Colombia
(S/2009/434), Burundi (S/2009/450), Uganda
(S/2009/462), the Philippines (S/2010/36) and Nepal
(S/2010/183), and reviewed the report on the mission
to Sri Lanka of the Special Envoy of the Special
Representative for Children and Armed Conflict.
The Working Group also adopted conclusions on
the situation of children in armed conflicts in Myanmar
(S/AC.51/2009/4), the Sudan (S/AC.51/2009/5),
Burundi (S/AC.51/2009/6), Uganda (S/AC.51/2010/1)
and Sri Lanka (S/AC.51/2010/2).
Chapter 21
Informal Working Group on
Documentation and Other
Procedural Questions
During the reporting period, the Working Group
held a total of 10 informal meetings to discuss various
issues related to the Security Council’s documentation
and procedures.
In 2009 and 2010, the Chairmanship of the
Working Group was held by Yukio Takasu (Japan).
On 10 November 2009, a meeting was convened
with a view to holding a discussion in follow-up to the
meeting held on 14 May. A draft working paper with a
proposed list of recommendations relating to the note
by the President of the Security Council (S/2006/507),
prepared by the Chair, was discussed.
On 4 December, members were briefed by
representatives of the Departments of Peacekeeping
Operations and Political Affairs on the process of
preparing the reports of the Secretary-General. The
meeting was convened in response to a request by
members of the Working Group expressing concern
about the timeliness of the Secretary-General’s reports.
From December 2009 to 30 March 2010 the
Working Group focused on the following issues:
(a) reports of the Secretary-General; (b) format of
Council meetings; (c) Council missions; (d) the
Council’s interaction and dialogue with other United
Nations organs, including the Peacebuilding
Commission; and (e) matters of which the Council is
seized.
In 2010, as a matter of priority, the Working
Group was most engaged with the Chair’s working
paper on the implementation of the note by the
President (S/2006/507), with a view to issuing a
revised comprehensive note by the end of 2010. The
Working Group also focused on a range of practical
issues pertaining to meetings of the Council and other
procedural questions that arose from the everyday
work of the Council or were referred to the Working
Group. Work of the subsidiary bodies of the Security Council

Chapter 22
Informal Working Group on
International Tribunals
The Informal Working Group on International
Tribunals was established in 2000 to consider matters
relating to the United Nations and United Nationsassisted Tribunals, particularly the completion strategies
and residual issues of the International Tribunals for
the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. It consists of the
legal advisers of the missions of the members of the
Security Council and is assisted by the Office of Legal
Affairs. Austria has held the Chair of the Working
Group since January 2009.
During the reporting period, the Working Group
continued to meet regularly and held 23 meetings (7 in
2009 and 16 in 2010), including with the Presidents,
Prosecutors and Registrars of the Tribunals when they
were in New York for their presentations to the
Security Council. The members of the Working Group
also had informal exchanges of views with
representatives of Rwanda, Serbia and the United
Republic of Tanzania in order to continue the dialogue
with affected countries and host countries of the
Tribunals. The members further heard a briefing by the
Chief of the Archives and Records Management
Section of the Secretariat on the question of archives
and records management.
In September 2009 the Working Group concluded
its consideration of the report of the Secretary-General
on the administrative and budgetary aspects of the
options for possible locations for the archives of the
International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and
the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the
seat of the residual mechanism(s) for the Tribunals
(S/2009/258) and reached agreement on
recommendations (l) and (m) addressed to the
Tribunals in paragraph 259 of the report. By a letter
dated 28 September 2009 the President of the Security
Council confirmed that the Council members welcomed
those recommendations and requested that the
Secretary-General write to the Presidents of the
Tribunals to ask that they ensure that the tasks listed
were carried out as part of their completion strategies,
and that they report to the Security Council on their
progress in implementing those tasks as part of their
regular reporting (S/2009/496).
On 8 October, in order to increase transparency,
raise awareness and provide an opportunity to hear the
views of expert speakers and the broader United
Nations membership, the Permanent Mission of Austria
organized an Arria-formula meeting on residual issues
of the two Tribunals, open to all States Members of the
United Nations. Invited speakers included the Presidents
of the two Tribunals, the Assistant Secretary-General
for Legal Affairs, and representatives of the
International Committee of the Red Cross and the
International Centre for Transitional Justice. The
meeting evoked great interest on the part of many
Member States, which provided the Working Group
with useful input for its deliberations.
In the last quarter of 2009 the Working Group
resumed its negotiations on a new Security Council
draft resolution on the establishment of an international
residual mechanism for criminal tribunals prepared by
the Chair of the Working Group with the help of the
Office of Legal Affairs, based on the recommendations
contained in the report of the Secretary-General. The
Working Group concluded the first reading of the draft
resolution in December 2009. Before the end of the
year, in order to assist the Group in its future
deliberations, and as a follow-up to the SecretaryGeneral’s report, the Working Group agreed to request
the Office of Legal Affairs to prepare a draft statute of
the residual mechanism based on the statutes of the two
Tribunals, as well as two additional internal reports on
the declassification of documents and review of
witness protection orders by the Tribunals, as set out in
recommendation (l) of the Secretary-General’s report,
and on possible locations for the residual mechanism.
In February 2010, the Chair presented the first
revised draft resolution on the residual mechanism with
an annex including the draft statute prepared by the
Office of Legal Affairs. In February and March the
Working Group conducted the second reading of the
draft resolution and annex. After a period of bilateral
consultations, internal reflection and preparation in
April and May, the second revised draft resolution and
draft statute were introduced by the Chair at the end of
May. The Group conducted its third reading of the draft
texts from mid-June to mid-July. The Working Group
has made good progress in its efforts to reach Report of the Security Council to the General Assembly
(covering the period from 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010)
198 10-60746
agreement on a number of outstanding issues. The
discussions on a further revised draft resolution and
annex will resume in the latter part of 2010 with a view
to reaching a final agreement.
In July 2010 the Working Group discussed the
internal reports of the Office of Legal Affairs on the
declassification of documents and review of witness
protection orders by the Tribunals and on possible
locations for the residual mechanism. The Group
agreed to request the Office of Legal Affairs to conduct
further fact-finding on possible locations and to ask the
Tribunals to implement certain recommendations in the
report on declassification of documents and review of
witness protection orders.
On 3 December 2009 and 18 June 2010, at the
biannual public meetings of the Security Council to
hear the briefings on the completion strategies of the
Tribunals, the Permanent Representative of Austria, in
his capacity as Chair, briefed the Council on the
progress of the Working Group. In addition, on
30 December, the Permanent Mission of Austria sent a
letter to the President of the Security Council
(S/2009/687), which provides a detailed account of the
activities of the Working Group during 2009.
In December 2009 and in March and June 2010
the Working Group also considered various requests by
the Presidents of the Tribunals for the extension of the
terms of office of the judges and statutory amendments
in order to facilitate the completion strategies.
Following negotiations and agreement reached among
its members, the Working Group made recommendations
to the Security Council for the adoption of appropriate
resolutions. As a result, the Security Council adopted
resolutions 1900 (2009), 1901 (2009), 1915 (2010),
1931 (2010) and 1932 (2010). 10-60746 199
