S - Security Council - Central African Republic - I. Introduction II. Political situation

On 10 June, the President announced the conclusion of the consultations and the imminent launch of the dialogue and requested the support of the international community. [...] The Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations, the African Union Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security, the Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) and the Deputy Secretary-General for Common Security and Defence Policy and Crisis Response and the Managing Director for Africa of the European External Act. [...] Force generation efforts will continue, while keeping under review the continued requirement to deploy such assets in the light of the political and security situation in the country and the implementation of the priority mandated tasks of MINUSCA. [...] Since February, MINUSCA has recorded a surge in the number and gravity of violations of the status-of-forces agreement between the United Nations and the Government of the Central African Republic. [...] I welcome advances in oversight, including the work of the Inspector General of the armed forces and the re-establishment of the military justice system.
