With the immediate security crisis in Côte d’Ivoire now less pressing there is a growing sense that the Council and the wider United Nations need to be active to ensure that Côte d’Ivoire does not disappear from focus. The enormous peacebuilding needs in the country are an issue, as is the capacity and mandate of UNOCI to cope with these needs in the current phase of the peace consolidation process in Côte d’Ivoire. The end of the fighting between forces loyal to Alassane Ouattara, the widely recognised winner of the 28 November elections, and supporters of former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo, after Ouattara’s forces detained Gbagbo on 11 April, has opened a new chapter. A number of options are available to the Council, however given the other issues engaging its attention on the agenda, it was not yet clear whether Council members will agree on concrete proposals soon for a new strategy.
