United Nations Security Council Resolution 1978, adopted unanimously on April 27, 2011, after recalling all previous resolutions on the situation in Sudan, the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) until July 9, 2011 and announced its intention to create a successor mission.
Observations
The Council considered the results of the independence referendum held in South Sudan in January 2011 and the government's request for a continued United Nations presence there. At the same time, it also determined the situation to remain a threat to international peace and security in the region.
Acts
The mandate of UNMIS, as set out in Resolution 1590 (2005), was extended until July 9, 2011 (the day South Sudan would become independent).
