The figures given are based on ongoing UN missions during 2012 and therefore do not include representatives, envoys or special advisers, or personal envoys that are not associated to a specific mission. The political mission UNAMA (Afghanistan) is led and backed by the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations, for which reason it is counted as a PO/PKO hybrid mission. 2. The start and end dates of conflicts are based on the data in Chapter 1 (Armed Conflicts). In cases of ended armed conflicts, which are therefore not included in Chapter 1, dates are those accepted by the academic community. 3. This annex lists the dates of armed conflicts in which the mandate is clearly linked to the armed conflict, although it is possible that there have been previous cycles of violence. 4. In italics, the missions closed or duties completed in It replaces the BINUB political operation from 1st January 2011, which in turn had replaced the ONUB peacekeeping mission in January This was preceded by the AU mission (AMIB) which was integrated into the ONUB in June It replaces BONUCA, created in February 2000, which in turn had replaced the MINURCA peacekeeping mission ( ) (PKO), which was established after the armed conflict started in In a parallel way, the MINURCAT peacekeeping mission, present in the east of Chad and the northeast of the Central African Republic, culminated its withdrawal in December There was previously a UN political mission (MINUCI, S/RES/1479) from May 2003, which included the 1,300 soldiers from ECOWAS (ECOMICI, ECOWAS Mission in Côte d Ivoire) to April 2004, supported by 4,000 French soldiers (Operation Licorne). 8. It replaces the UN peacekeeping mission in DR Congo, MONUC, which had been present in the country since November It replaces UNOGBIS, which had been present in the country since March UNOMSIL ( ) (PKO), UNAMSIL ( ) (PKO), UNIOSIL ( ) (PBO). 11. UNOSOM I ( ), UNITAF ( , USA with mandate from the UN Security Council), UNOSOM II ( ) (PKO). S/ RES/954 established the closure of UNOSOM II and stated that the UN would continue observing events in Somalia through a Political Office based in Kenya. 12. The AU mission, AMIS, set up in 2004, has been integrated in the new joint mission UNAMID. It is a hybrid mission of the AU and the UN, with a single command. 13. The UNMIS mandate culminated on 9th July after the interim period established by the Sudanese government and the SPLM in the overall Peace Agreement reached on 9th January 2005 had come to an end. Nevertheless, the UN Security Council determined that the situation in South Sudan continued to be a threat for peace and security in the region, and decided to set up UNMISS for an initial period of one year, starting its task on 9th July. The functions of the political mission UNAMIS (set up in 2004) were transferred to UNMIS under S/RES/1590 of March Annex I. International missions in

Since 1989, the conflict has moved into the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. 16. UNIPOM ( ) (PKO). 17. Although the armed conflict began in 1948, this report analyses only the last phase of the conflict, which corresponds to the 2nd Intifada, which began in September UNEF I ( ) (PKO), UNEF II ( ) (PKO). 19. This lists the dates for which the mandate of the mission is clearly linked to the conflict, although there have been previous cycles of violence between the parties. 20. The annex provides the dates for which the mandate of the mission is clearly linked to the conflict, although there have been previous cycles of violence between the parties. In this case, the forces of Israel and Lebanon fought in the war of 1948, but the UNIFIL mission was not established until after the first Israeli invasion of Lebanon in Its mandate has been changing according to new cycles of violence that have occurred, especially because of the second invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and the war between Israel and Hezbollah in The number of missions excludes special representatives not associated with OSCE missions, centres or projects. 22. The OSCE deployed in February 1994 the OSCE Mission in Tajikistan, which was renamed as the OSCE Centre in Dushanbe in October Finally, in June 2008 the OSCE Permanent Council changed the name and mandate for its presence in the country, and established the OSCE Office in Tajikistan. Its new mandate includes activities to assist the country in developing strategies to address threats to its security and stability, conflict prevention and crisis management, among others. However, there is no reference to the armed conflict that the country experienced between 1992 and Alert 2013
