The Resolution 1716 of the UN Security Council is a resolution on the situation in Georgia , by the United Nations Security Council at its 5549th meeting on October 13, 2006 was adopted unanimously.

The Security Council relied on its previous resolutions on Georgia, which it had adopted since 1993, in particular on UN Security Council Resolution 1666 of March 31, 2006.

Resolution 1716 extended the mandate of the United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) until April 15, 2007. This observer mission was set up in 1993 and at the time resolution 1716 was passed had a total of 133 members (including 121 military observers and 12 civilian police officers).

The resolution held Georgia partially responsible for a "new and tense situation" because of a police operation in the upper Kodori Valley on July 25, 2006 , and reminds us that after the ceasefire agreement of May 14, 1994, no Georgian or Abkhaz troops are allowed to be there.

The resolution indirectly called for better cooperation between UNOMIG and the CIS peacekeeping force (CISPKR) in Abkhazia.
