The United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire (UNOCI) (from the French Opération des Nations Unies en Côte d'Ivoire , ONUCI ; also known under the English name United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire , UNOCI ) was a peace mission of the United Nations in the state of Ivory Coast , which was carried out from 2004 to 2017.

It was initially authorized for one year after Chapter VII by Resolution 1528 (2004) and was extended by UN Security Council Resolutions 1609 (2005), 1880 (2009), 1924 (2010) and 1933 (2010). The mandate last extended by resolution 2284 (2016) expired on June 30, 2017 .

Resolution 1609 coordinated the mission with the French armed forces of Opération Licorne in the country.

Most recently, Aïchatou Mindaoudou (Niger) heads the peacekeeping mission , while Major General Didier L'Hôte (France) was the head of the armed forces.

commitment

The ONUCI mission began on April 4, 2004 and replaced that of the Mission des Nations Unies en Côte d'Ivoire (MINUCI). This was a political mission to create the conditions that had been agreed by the parties to the civil war in their January 2003 peace agreement.

General election 2010

The parliamentary elections initially planned for 2005 were postponed several times and finally took place at the end of 2010. After the election results were announced, the Ivorian conflict flared up again. According to UNOCI, 210 people were killed in the first four weeks alone.

On December 18, 2010, Laurent Gbagbo called on the UN peacekeepers to leave the country immediately, as they had not behaved neutrally in the dispute over the outcome of the election. The United Nations Security Council instead extended the mandate of the mission on 20 December 2010, at six months and increased the personnel.

On December 26th, the UN spoke of 14,000 refugees heading for Liberia .

On December 30, the head of the UN mission in Ivory Coast requested access to alleged mass graves . Security forces devoted to Gbagbo prevented UN officials from checking a building where up to 80 bodies were suspected.

On January 19, 2011, the UN Security Council decided in resolution 1967 to increase the ONUCI by 2,000 to a total of 11,800 men.

Meanwhile, Laurent Gbagbo was at the International Criminal Court in the Hague for crimes against humanity charged in connection with the riots after the elections in 2010-2011.

tasks

One of the tasks of ONUCI was first and foremost the interruption of hostilities and the movement of armed groups in the country. This was followed by the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of the fighters (GDR), the destruction of all weapons and the repatriation and resettlement of the civilian population. The ONUCI was authorized to use the weapon to protect the civilian population. She was supported by the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL) and the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) by controlling all border traffic by land, sea and air in order to guarantee the arms embargo.

ONUCI's other tasks included providing humanitarian aid, reorganizing state administration, organizing open, free, fair and transparent elections, maintaining public order, observing human rights and making public information accessible.
