Special Report of the Secretary-General on UN Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea

News release: “Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has outlined four options for the future of the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE), including the possibility of axing the mission, because of restrictions imposed by Eritrea on its side of the disputed border. In a special report on UNMEE, released April 11, 2008, Mr. Ban warns that none of the options are ideal as they all bear serious risks and would not resolve the impasse created by the Eritrean restrictions. Ending the mission could result in a return to open hostilities, for example, he says.”

  • “The present report is submitted pursuant to paragraph 32 of my special report of 3 March 2008 on the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE) (S/2008/145), in which I informed the Security Council of my intention to prepare a second special report providing options and recommendations for any future United Nations peacekeeping presence in Eritrea and Ethiopia.”
