The United Nations Security Council Resolution 1933 is a resolution that the United Nations Security Council unanimously decided at its 6350th meeting on 30 June of 2010.

background

Before the 2010 presidential elections , the first round of which was planned for October 31, 2010, the situation in Ivory Coast was tense. The election was originally scheduled for 2005, but has since been postponed several times.

There was a de facto division in the country. The rebels of the Forces Nouvelles de Côte d'Ivoire (FN) held the northern part and government troops ruled the southern part of the Ivory Coast. The division of the country was the result of the civil war that raged between 2002 and 2007 in the Ivory Coast , to whose prehistory the exclusion of candidates and voters with a migration background from the northern neighboring states of Ivory Coast and the like. a. in the presidential elections in Ivory Coast in 1995 and 2000 belongs.

The ONUCI existed since April 4, 2004 and was entitled to use the weapon to protect the civilian population. She had a mandate to stop hostilities and the movement of armed groups in the country. This was followed by the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of the fighters, the destruction of all weapons and the repatriation and resettlement of the civilian population. Their tasks also included providing humanitarian aid, reorganizing state administration, organizing open, free, fair and transparent elections, maintaining public order, observing human rights and making public information available.
