Communiqué of the 1126th Meeting of the Peace and Security Council, Held on 12 December 2022 on Updated Briefing on the Situation in Guinea-Bissau.

Abstract

The Council expressed deep concern over the lack of significant progress in addressing the political challenges in Guinea Bissau, including the failure to organize the legislative elections which were scheduled to take place on 18 December 2022. The Council also decided to urgently dispatch a high-level fact-finding mission to Guinea Bissau with a mandate to engage with all relevant stakeholders on possible solutions to the recurrent challenges, assess the country’s state of readiness for the legislative elections and to ascertain the required support in this regard.
