               Resolution 1669 (2006)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 5408th meeting, on
               10 April 2006

                    The Security Council,
                     Recalling its previous resolutions and statements of its President relating to the
               situation in Burundi and in the Great Lakes region, in particular its resolution 1650
               (2005) of 21 December 2005,
                     Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial
               integrity and unity of Burundi, and recalling the importance of the principles of
               good-neighbourliness, non-interference and cooperation in the relations among
               States in the region,
                     Congratulating the people of Burundi for the successful conclusion of the
               transitional period and the peaceful transfer of authority to representative and
               democratically elected government and institutions,
                    Taking note of the letter of the Secretary-General addressed to the President of
               the Security Council dated 30 March 2006 (S/2006/206),
                    Recalling that the current mandates of the United Nations Mission in Burundi

               Republic of the Congo (MONUC) will expire respectively on 1 July 2006 and on
               30 September 2006,
                     Noting that although there has been an improvement in the security situation
               since the completion of the transitional period, factors of instability remain in
               Burundi and in the Great Lakes region of Africa, which continue to constitute a
               threat to international peace and security in the region,
                    Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
                     1.   Decides to authorize the Secretary-General to redeploy temporarily a
               maximum of one infantry battalion, a military hospital and up to 50 military

               Resolución 1669 (2006)
               Aprobada por el Consejo de Seguridad en su 5408ª sesión,
               celebrada el 10 de abril de 2006

                    El Consejo de Seguridad,
                     Recordando sus resoluciones anteriores y las declaraciones de su Presidencia
               relativas a la situación en Burundi y en la región de los Grandes Lagos, en particular
               la resolución 1650 (2005), de 21 de diciembre de 2005,
                     Reiterando su firme determinación de preservar la soberanía, la independencia,
               la integridad territorial y la unidad de Burundi, y recordando la importancia de los
               principios de buena vecindad, no injerencia y cooperación en las relaciones entre los
               Estados de la región,

                    Tomando nota de la carta de fecha 30 de marzo de 2006 dirigida al Presidente
               del Consejo de Seguridad por el Secretario General (S/2006/206),

               2006, respectivamente,
                     Observando que, si bien la situación de seguridad ha mejorado desde que concluyó el período de transición, aún quedan en Burundi y en la región de los Grandes
               Lagos de África factores de inestabilidad que siguen constituyendo una amenaza a
               la paz y la seguridad internacionales en la región,
                    Actuando en virtud del Capítulo VII de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas,
                     1.   Decide autorizar al Secretario General a que redespliegue temporalmente
               como máximo, un batallón de infantería, un hospital militar y hasta 50 observadores

               con lo dispuesto en la resolución 1650 (2005), y con la intención de renovar esa autorización con arreglo a una decisión que pudiera adoptar en el futuro el Consejo de
               Seguridad respecto de la renovación de los mandatos de la ONUB y la MONUC;
                    2.    Decide seguir ocupándose activamente de la cuestión.

               Résolution 1669 (2006)

               Adoptée par le Conseil de sécurité à sa 5408e séance, le 10 avril 2006

                    Le Conseil de sécurité,
                     Rappelant ses résolutions et les déclarations de son président sur le Burundi et
               la région des Grands Lacs, notamment sa résolution 1650 (2005) du 21 décembre
               2005,
                     Réaffirmant qu’il est profondément attaché au respect de la souveraineté, de
               l’indépendance, de l’intégrité territoriale et de l’unité du Burundi, et rappelant
               l’importance des principes de bon voisinage, de non-ingérence et de coopération
               dans les relations entre les États de la région,
                     Félicitant le peuple burundais pour la conclusion réussie de la période de
               transition et pour le transfert pacifique du pouvoir à un gouvernement et à des
               institutions représentatifs et démocratiquement élus,

                    Notant que, bien qu’il y ait eu une amélioration de la situation sécuritaire
               depuis l’achèvement de la période de transition, il subsiste des facteurs d’instabilité
               au Burundi et dans la région de l’Afrique des Grands Lacs, qui continuent de
               constituer une menace pour la paix et la sécurité internationales dans la région,
                    Agissant en vertu du Chapitre VII de la Charte des Nations Unies,
                     1.   Décide d’autoriser le Secrétaire général à redéployer temporairement au
               maximum un bataillon d’infanterie, un hôpital militaire et jusqu’à 50 observateurs

               conformément à la résolution 1650 (2005), et avec l’intention de reconduire cette
               autorisation en fonction des décisions futures qu’il pourrait être amené à prendre
               concernant le renouvellement des mandats de l’ONUB et de la MONUC;
                    2.    Décide de rester activement saisi de la question.

                 отмечая, что, хотя с момента завершения переходного периода положение

            Draft resolution

                 The Security Council,
                  Recalling its previous resolutions and statements of its President relating to the
            situation in Burundi and in the Great Lakes region, in particular its resolution 1650
            (2005) of 21 December 2005,
                  Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial
            integrity and unity of Burundi, and recalling the importance of the principles of
            good-neighbourliness, non-interference and cooperation in the relations among
            States in the region,
                  Congratulating the people of Burundi for the successful conclusion of the
            transitional period and the peaceful transfer of authority to representative and
            democratically elected government and institutions,
                 Taking note of the letter of the Secretary-General addressed to the President of
            the Security Council dated 30 March 2006 (S/2006/206),
                 Recalling that the current mandates of the United Nations Mission in Burundi
            (ONUB) and of the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic
            Republic of the Congo (MONUC) will expire respectively on 1 July 2006 and on
            30 September 2006,
                  Noting that although there has been an improvement in the security situation
            since the completion of the transitional period, factors of instability remain in
            Burundi and in the Great Lakes region of Africa, which continue to constitute a
            threat to international peace and security in the region,
                 Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
                  1.   Decides to authorize the Secretary-General to redeploy temporarily a
            maximum of one infantry battalion, a military hospital and up to 50 military
            observers from ONUB to MONUC, until 1 July 2006, according to resolution 1650
            (2005), and with the intention to renew such authorization according to future
            decisions by the Security Council concerning the renewal of the mandates of ONUB
            and MONUC;
                 2.    Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.
