The United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (French: Mission multidimensionnelle intégrée des Nations Unies pour la stabilization de la République centrafricaine; MINUSCA ) is a United Nations peacekeeping mission into which the Bureau Intégré de l'Organisation des Nations Unies en Centrafrique BINUCA is incorporated. On September 15, 2014 MINUSCA took over the leadership of the African Union- led stabilization mission MISCA . It was founded by UN Security Council Resolution 2149 of April 10, 2014. The aim is to stabilize the Central African Republic . This is done by protecting civilians and UN employees, supporting the transition process, safeguarding humanitarian aid, protecting human rights, supporting the national judiciary and disarming and reintegrating former soldiers.

After repeated allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation, President Denis Sassou-Nguesso ordered the withdrawal of around 600 Congolese soldiers who took part in MINUSCA on June 21, 2017.

On November 15, 2017, the UN Security Council voted for a renewed extension and increase of the mission by 900 men and a further year (until November 15, 2018). The maximum scope of the mission is now over 13,000 security guards, including 11,650 soldiers (including 480 military observers and staff officers) and 2,080 police officers.
