    30 on a resolution extending the mandate of the UN
    Operation in Cote d'Ivoire (UNOCI).  USUN is authorized to

    paragraph 2.  If any substantive change in the text is
    proposed, mission should seek guidance.

    ¶2.  Begin text:

    The Security Council,
    Recalling its previous resolutions, in particular
    resolutions 1739 (2007), 1765 (2007) and 1795 (2008), and
    the statements of its President relating to the situation
    in Cote d'Ivoire, and resolution 1777 (2007) on the
    situation in Liberia,

    Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty,
    independence, territorial integrity and unity of Cote d'
    Ivoire, and recalling the importance of the principles of
    good-neighbourliness, non-interference and regional
    cooperation,

    Recalling that it endorsed the Agreement signed by
    President Laurent Gbagbo and Mr. Guillaume Soro in
    Ouagadougou on 4 March 2007 ("the Ouagadougou political
    Agreement" S/2007/144), and the following Supplementary
    Agreements, as recommended by the African Union,

    Recalling that it welcomed the announcement by the Ivorian
    authorities of the organization on 30 November 2008 of the
    first round of the presidential elections (S/PRST/2008/11)
    and that it encouraged the Ivorian parties to redouble
    their efforts to meet this commitment, and the
    international community to bring continued support to this
    effect,

    Expressing again its appreciation to President Blaise
    Compaore of Burkina Faso ("the Facilitator") for his
    continued efforts to support the peace process in Cote d'
    Ivoire, in particular through the Ouagadougou political
    Agreement follow-up mechanisms, commending and encouraging
    the continued efforts of the African Union and the
    Economic Community of West African States ("ECOWAS") to
    promote peace and stability in Cote d'Ivoire, and
    reiterating its full support for them,

    Stressing again the importance of the international
    consultative organ participating in the meetings of the
    evaluation and monitoring committee, as an observer, and
    recalling that it may be consulted at any time by the
    Facilitator,

    Reiterating its strong condemnation of any attempt to
    destabilize the peace process by force, and expressing its
    intention to examine without delay the situation after any
    such attempt, on the basis of a report by the
    Secretary-General,

    Having taken note of the report of the Secretary-General
    dated 10 July 2008 (S/2008/451),

    Noting with concern, in spite of the sustained improvement
    of the overall human rights situation, the persistence of
    cases of human rights violations against civilians,
    including numerous acts of sexual violence, stressing that
    the perpetrators must be brought to justice, and
    reiterating its firm condemnation of all violations of
    human rights and international humanitarian law in Cote d'
    Ivoire,

    Recalling its resolution 1612 (2005) on children and armed
    conflict and the subsequent conclusions of the Security
    Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict
    pertaining to parties in the armed conflict of Cote
    d'Ivoire (S/AC.51/2008/5),

    Recalling also its resolutions 1325 (2000) and 1820 (2008)
    on women, peace and security, and its resolution 1674
    (2006) on the protection of civilians in armed conflict,
    condemning any sexual violence, and encouraging the
    Secretary-General to mainstream a gender perspective in
    the implementation of UNOCI's mandate,

    the United Nations system and the international community
    for strengthening the capacity of the Government of Cote d'
    Ivoire and of the electoral bodies to organize the
    electoral process

    the organization in Cote d'Ivoire of free, open, fair and
    transparent elections;

    ¶2. Requests UNOCI, within its existing resources and

    Agreement and their obligations under international
    humanitarian law;

    ¶9.  Expresses its intention to review by 31 January 2009

    of the progress achieved in the implementation of the key
    steps of the peace process and of the progress of the
    electoral process, and requests the Secretary-General to
    provide to it a report in this regard three weeks before
