The report outlines the stages of UNMIL’s consolidation and drawdown plan, and identifies key requirements that must be met by the Government of Liberia before the Mission closes its operations there. “Until the army and police can stand on their own and the justice system is rehabilitated and accessible to all Liberians, the country will remain vulnerable to the risk of a return to lawlessness,” it emphasizes.
