The Security Council was very concerned about the ongoing political crisis in Côte d'Ivoire, and obstacles to the peace process from all sides.[2] It noted that the mandate of UNMIL was to expire on March 31, 2006, and that the situation in Côte d'Ivoire continued to pose a threat to international peace and security.
Acts
Under Chapter VII powers, the Council authorised a temporary redeployment of one infantry company from UNMIL to UNOCI until March 31, 2006 in order to provide extra security and perform tasks carried out by UNOCI.[3] The measure would be renewed within 30 days if necessary, with Council members keeping additional redeployments under review.
