United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (also called MINUSCA, which is an initialism of its French name Mission multidimensionnelle intégrée des Nations unies pour la stabilisation en Centrafrique) is a UN peacekeeping mission, which started on April 10, 2014, to protect Central African Republic civilians under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. It transformed the 6,000-strong African Union-led peacekeeping force known as MISCA into a UN peacekeeping mission and became operational on September 15, 2014. The UN deployed a transition team to set up MINUSCA and prepare for a seamless transition of authority from MISCA to MINUSCA.[1] As of 30 September 2021, it has more than 15,000 troops, police and civilian personnel on the ground. Its role is to:
- support the transition process;
- facilitate humanitarian assistance;
- promotion and protection of human rights;
- support for justice and the rule of law;
- disarmament;
- demobilization;
- reintegration;
- repatriation processes.[2]
The current Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of MINUSCA is Valentine Rugwabiza of Rwanda.
The top 3 countries contributing the most personnel are Rwanda, Bangladesh and Pakistan.[3]
MINUSCA takes part in police and paramilitary actions in areas without clearly defined institutions of state.[4]
