Eritrea: Latest UN Report On UN Peacekeepers

13 April 2008

  1. Introduction


1. The present report is submitted pursuant to paragraph 32 of my special report of 3 March 2008 on the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE) (S/2008/145), in which I informed the Security Council of my intention to prepare a second special report providing options and recommendations for any future United Nations peacekeeping presence in Eritrea and Ethiopia.


2. With the temporary relocation of UNMEE military personnel and equipment from Eritrea, as outlined in my previous special report, the Mission has reached a critical turning point. It is therefore important to set out the context of the developments leading to the temporary relocation of the Mission and to recount pertinent events since the signing by Eritrea and Ethiopia, in Algiers, of the Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities of 18 June 2000 and the Comprehensive

Peace Agreement of 12 December 2000.
