Context
UNMISS was established in 2011 under the auspices of the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO); subsequently, UNMISS mandate has been renewed through resolutions 2057 (2012), 2109 (2013), 2155 (2014), 2187 (2014), 2223 (2015), 2241 (Dec. 2015) and 2304 (2016).

In resolution 2567 (2021), the Security Council adopted a three-year strategic vision for UNMISS to: (1) prevent a return to civil war in South Sudan; (2} build durable peace at the local and national levels; (3) support inclusive and accountable governance; and (4) facilitate the conduct of free, fair, and peaceful elections in accordance with the Revitalized Agreement. rt included an explicit direction for UNMISS to use “technical assistance and capacity building to support South Sudan to restore and reform the rule of law and justice sector, in order to strengthen protection of civilians, combat impunity, and promote accountability.”

The UNMISS Strategic Vision for 2021/2024 identified five tracks of engagement to achieve these objectives; two of the tracks are directly linked to UNMISS Rule of Law Advisory Section (RoLAS)’s ongoing and planned activities.

Continued interventions in these areas – as the UNMISS Strategic Vision notes are designed to promote a strong and integrated justice ·chain that is key to the protection of civilians, breaking cycles of violence, and holding peace spoilers accountable, as well as to fostering a culture of accountability for the violence and human rights violations that undermine peace and stability.
