Content_paragraphs:  The continued deployment of MINUSMA remains essential to the peace, 
  
  political and electoral processes as well as stability in Mali. The implementation of 
  
  outstanding provisions of the Agreement, the inclusion of women in political and 
  
  peace processes, protection of civilians and dialogue processes in the centre, support 
  
  to the ongoing political transition, the upholding of human rights, and adequate 
  
  coordination with national, regional and international forces remain indispensable to 
  
  the restoration of peace and security in Mali. The complex, challenging and dangerous 
  
  environment in which the Mission is operating requires innovative, tailored, flexible 
  
  and people-centred approaches. I therefore recommend the extension of the mandate 
  
  of MINUSMA for an additional year, until 30 June 2022, with its current authorized 
  
  troop and police ceilings. I count on the Security Council’s steadfast political support 
  
  and the commitment of Member States to ensure that the Mission is adequately 
  
  configured and resourced.
