With resolution 2037 of the UN Security Council , it was decided to extend the mandate of UNMIT in East Timor until December 31, 2012, while maintaining the number of staff approved at the time, and to gradually reduce the number of staff after the successful conclusion of the election process in 2012. The resolution was adopted unanimously on February 23, 2012 with reference to resolutions 1599 , 1677 , 1690 , 1703 , 1704 , 1745 , 1802 , 1867 , 1912 and 1969 .

background

After the unrest of 2006 , the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT) worked with the International Stabilization Force (ISF) to restore peace and order and stabilize the country. At the beginning of 2012, East Timor was on the right track. The 2012 presidential and parliamentary elections were to be the acid test .

The resolution

The Security Council welcomed the stabilization of the situation in East Timor since the unrest of 2006 and the rebuilding of state structures, such as the assumption of full responsibility for internal security by the East Timorese National Police (PNTL). The expansion of the capabilities of the East Timorese Defense Forces (F-FDTL), which are now participating in the UN missions UNFIL and UNMISS , was also praised. East Timor's contribution to the g7 + countries was also noted .

The new resolution resolved to extend UNMIT's mandate until December 31, 2012. On that day, the end of the mission was planned, if the presidential and parliamentary elections were successful. The political leaders of all parties were asked to continue their joint work to secure peace, and UNMIT should continue to support this.

consequences

The 2012 elections were largely peaceful and the situation remained stable. The new president was the independent candidate Taur Matan Ruak . From the old government coalition Aliança da Maioria Parlamentar (AMP), the largest party Congresso Nacional da Reconstrução Timorense (CNRT) won the most votes, the opposition FRETILIN became the second strongest force. The CNRT eventually formed a coalition with the Partido Democrático (PD) and the Frenti-Mudança (FM).

The UNMIT mandate ended as planned on December 31, 2012.
