UN Security Council Unanimously Extends MINUSCA Mandate in Central African Republic to November 15, 2027
The UN Security Council on November 12, 2026, in New York unanimously adopted a resolution extending the mandate of the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) until November 15, 2027. France was the penholder of the draft.
French Ambassador Jérôme Bonnafont told the Council before the vote that the resolution sets a new troop cap for MINUSCA, consolidating its achievements and adjusting the ceiling to new goals, with an eye to a gradual transition to national institutions. Deployed since 2014, the mission's tasks include protecting civilians and supporting the political process and security-sector reform.
Speaking for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia and Liberia, Ambassador Lewis Garseedah Brown II said the UN liquidity crisis must not undermine mandate implementation and that Member States should pay assessed contributions in full, on time and without conditions. The Central African Republic's ambassador also addressed the meeting. (Source: UN Security Council)
