Report of the Secretary-General on developments in Guinea-Bissau and the activities of the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea-Bissau

I. Introduction

1. The present report is submitted pursuant to Security Council resolution 2343 (2017), by which the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea-Bissau (UNIOGBIS) until 28 February 2018, and requested that I report every six months on the situation in Guinea -Bissau and on progress made in the implementation of the resolution and the mandate of UNIOGBIS. The report provides an update on key political, security, human rights, socioeconomic and humanitarian developments in Guinea-Bissau since my report of 10 August 2017 (S/2017/695).

II. Major developments in Guinea-Bissau

A. Political situation

2. Since my last report, tensions have continued to mount, as the main political stakeholders in the crisis remain intransigent in their respective positions and continue to publicly blame each other for the stalemate. The multiple mediation efforts spearheaded by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have produced few tangible results thus far, owing mainly to the lack of political will and good faith among some stakeholders and their divergent interpretations of the Conakry Agreement.
