Resolution 2836, made available on Friday, decides that the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the CAR, known by its French acronym as MINUSCA, shall comprise up to 12,000 military personnel and 2,265 police personnel, as well as 40 corrections officers.
The resolution reduces the authorized ceilings for military personnel, police personnel and corrections officers by 2,046, 734 and 68, respectively, from their previously mandated levels.
The resolution states that MINUSCA’s mandate is designed to advance a strategic vision to create the political, security and institutional conditions necessary to consolidate efforts toward durable peace and stability in the CAR.
It requests MINUSCA, jointly with the government of the CAR, to continue working toward a gradual, sequenced, conditions-based, action-driven and result-oriented transfer of selected tasks to the CAR authorities.
