The UN Security Council, in Resolution 2000 (2011), extended the mandate of UNOCI until 31 July 2012.1 While the election-related dispute was finally resolved and the security situation improved throughout the country with the capturing of Mr. Laurent Gbagbo, elements of the Forces Républicaines de C™te dÕIvoire (FRCI), formerly the Forces Nouvelles, were engaged in various violent activities. UNOCI’s presence was needed to support the government and to address the security challenges in the country.2 By the end of June 2012, there were 9,297 troops, 999 police personnel, and 364 civilian police personnel.3
