United Nations Security Council Resolution 1772 was unanimously adopted on 20 August 2007.

Resolution

The Security Council this morning authorized the African Union to maintain its operation in Somalia for a further six months, and to take all necessary measures to support dialogue and reconciliation in that country by assisting with the free movement, safe passage and protection of all those involved with the ongoing National Reconciliation Congress.

By its unanimous adoption of resolution 1772 (2007) under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Council also mandated the mission to provide protection to the Transitional Federal Institutions and help them carry out their functions of government and security for key infrastructure; assist with implementation of the National Security and Stabilization Plan, particularly the effective re-establishment and training of all-inclusive Somali security forces; and contribute to the creation of the necessary security conditions for the provision of humanitarian assistance.

Welcoming the National Reconciliation Congress at the initiative of the Transitional Federal Institutions, and urging all parties to participate in the political process, the Council stressed the need for it to involve all stakeholders, including all political, clan and religious leaders, the business community, and representatives of civil society, such as women’s groups. It stressed also the need for broad-based and representative institutions reached through an all-inclusive political process, as envisaged in Somalia’s Transitional Federal Charter, in order to consolidate stability, peace and reconciliation in the country, and to ensure the maximum possible effectiveness of international assistance.[1]
