appreciation for the support given to the UNMISS by the troop contributing countries, as
well as to the police contributing countries and urges them to continue this support given
the fact that South Sudan is going through a critical transitional period in its history;

Notes with great concern, that the South Sudanese parties have missed the deadline
for forming the Transitional Government of National Unity (TGoNU) as provided for in the
Agreement. Council, therefore, calls on the Parties, with the facilitation of JMEC and the AU
High Representative to urgently address the impediments that obstruct the formation of the
TGoNU. Considering the imperative of the TGoNU to the successful implementation of the
Agreement, Council strongly calls on the South Sudanese Parties to urgently establish it
without further delay nor any preconditions. Council also strongly urges Dr.Riek
MacharTeny, Chairman of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army–In Opposition
(SPLM/A–IO), to return to Juba to take up his position as the First Vice‐President of South
Sudan. On the decision of the GoSS to establish 28 States, Council urges the parties to refer
the matter to an inclusive, participatory national boundary commission comprising all
Parties to the Agreement, which should review the proposed states and their boundaries
and in this respect, Council underscores that this review should not impede the
establishment of the TGoNU;

Further expresses its grave concern over the continued violations of the Ceasefire
Agreement, as reported by the Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements
Monitoring Mechanism (CTSAMM) and encourages the parties to desist from these
violations which could undermine the current security situation. Council further
underscores that the challenges facing South Sudan cannot be addressed through a military
solution. Council urges for the speedy formation of the CTSAMM with all its required human
resources, fully equipped and with full protection, to enable it to carry out its tasks
efficiently and in a timely manner. In this regard, Council further calls for international
support to ensure that the CTSAMM is fully functional and capable of carrying out its given
mandate;

the mobilization of resources and recruitment of personnel, to enable the establishment of

undertake the necessary preparations to enable it, to expeditiously and effectively fulfil the
functions assigned to it under the Agreement. In this regard, Council calls on the
Commission to urgently implement the outcomes of the AU High Level Ad‐Hoc Committee
workshop held on 2 November 2015;
