UN Security Council renews peacekeeping mission's mandate in Central African Republic

The UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution on Thursday, November 13, 2026, renewing the mandate of the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) until November 15, 2027. The mission, established in 2014, addresses the security, humanitarian, human rights, and political crisis in the CAR, which has faced years of instability and ongoing violence despite a 2019 peace agreement. The resolution also reduces the authorized ceilings for military and police personnel and corrections officers.
