24 March 2005 – The United Nations Security Council voted unanimously today to send 10,000 troops and more than 700 civilian police to southern Sudan for an initial period of six months to support the peace agreement between the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A), which ended more than two decades of civil strife.

The peacekeepers would form the UN Mission in Sudan (UNMIS), which, as part of a considerable mandate, would liaise and coordinate with the African Mission in Sudan (AMIS) "with a view towards expeditiously reinforcing the effort to foster peace in Darfur," said the United States-sponsored resolution.

Other parts of the mandate include monitoring and verifying the ceasefire agreement, helping to set up a disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme for ex-combatants, and promoting national reconciliation and human rights.
