UN Security Council resolution 1725

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Resolution 1725 of the UN Security Council is a resolution that the United Nations Security Council has adopted unanimously at its 5579th meeting on December 6 of 2006. The subject of the resolution, which was introduced by the United States together with the current African members of the Security Council and with Qatar , was the situation in Somalia .

With the resolution, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the member states of the African Union were authorized to set up a protection and training mission ( IGASOM ) under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations . The mandate of this mission was initially set by the Security Council for six months. The mission's tasks include monitoring the dialogue between the Union of Islamic Courts and the Transitional Federal Institutions (the internationally recognized transitional government of Somalia).

The resolution refers to the decision that the neighboring states of Somalia will not provide any troops and allows - in deviation from the earlier resolutions 733 and 1425  - arms deliveries and the support of the troops of the African Union, which are engaged in Somalia. The resolution calls on the parties to the conflict to honor their earlier commitments and to resume peace talks on the basis of the Khartoum Declaration of June 22, 2006 and the agreements of September 2-4, 2006.

With the document, the Security Council also reaffirmed its determination to take action against anyone who obstructs the dialogue between the conflicting parties, overthrows the transitional government or otherwise tries to jeopardize stability in the region. The November 30, 2006 bombings in Baidoa are particularly condemned.

Other relevant documents referred to by the Security Council are Resolution 1356 and its President's announcement of July 13, 2006 (S / PRST / 2006/31).
