Convention of the Organization of African Unity governing 
the specific aspects of refugee problems in Africa,

stakeholders in Chad and the Central African Republic to 
continue to pursue their efforts of national dialogue, 
with respect for the constitutional frameworks, noting the 
positive efforts by the Government of Gabon to support a

emphasizes also the importance of the political agreement

3.  (U) The United States welcomes the unanimous adoption 
of resolution XXXX to extend the mandate of MINURCAT for 
one year.  The vote represents the Council's support and 
respect for UN peacekeepers working to sustain stability 
and ensure the protection of all refugees and internally 
displaced persons within central Africa.  It also 
demonstrates the Council's continuing commitment to the 
full implementation of Resolution 1778 and the achievement 
of peace and security in the region. 
 
(U) The goal of this resolution is to extend the mandate 
of MINURCAT until such time as the Secretariat has 
informed the Council that a UN force is fully prepared to 
replace the existing EUFOR operation.  It is crucial that 
the mission continue in its present form until the Council 
has determined that an adequately equipped and trained 
security force is ready to assume the full 
responsibilities of providing security in the designated 
areas. 
 
(U) We commend the continued progress that has been 
achieved since the adoption of Resolution 1778 last year. 
We welcome the continuing efforts of the Central African 
Republic and Chad to strengthen the rule of law and 
protection of refugees and internally displaced persons 
within their respective borders, as well as their 
demonstrated commitment, to the achievement of the 
objectives of Resolution 1778.
