Resolution

Welcoming the appointment on 14 November of a Government of National Unity in Burundi and emphasizing the need for the United Nations system and the international community to maintain their support for peace consolidation and long-term development in that country, the Security Council today extended the mandate of the United Nations Integrated Office in Burundi (BINUB) until 31 December 2008.

In the unanimously adopted resolution 1791 (2007), the Council called on the Government of Burundi and the Palipehutu-Forces nationales de libération (FNL) – the two parties to the September 2006 Comprehensive Ceasefire Agreement – to refrain from any action that might lead to a resumption of hostilities and to resolve outstanding issues in a spirit of cooperation.

The Council urged the Palipehutu-FNL to return to the Joint Verification and Monitoring Mechanism, established by that Agreement, without delay or preconditions and to immediately release all children associated with the movement.

BINUB was requested to play a robust political role in support of the peace process, in full coordination with regional and international partners. The Burundian Government was encouraged to pursue its efforts regarding peace consolidation challenges, in particular democratic governance and justice and security reform.[1]
