12. 根据安全理事会的请求并响应秘书处 4 月 6 日的普通照会，非洲联盟委员会在 2016 年 4 月 11 日的普通照会中强调，“非洲联盟人权观察员必须与在布隆迪的军事/安全专家和派遣的任何联合国警察开展密切协调与协作。在这一背景下，非洲联盟请秘书处考虑联合国采取何种办法协助非洲联盟完成人权观察员和军事/安全专家的部署，以便达到与布隆迪政府商定的人数并向他们提供支持。非盟还明确指出，这种支持可包括通信和其他设备、机动和合用同一地点，从而最大限度地利用现有资源，协助执行授权任务。这份普通照会见本函附文。
12. Pursuant to the request of the Security Council and in response to a note verbale dated 6 April from the Secretariat, the African Union Commission, in a note verbale dated 11 April 2016, emphasized the need for close coordination and collaboration between the African Union human rights observers and military/security experts and any United Nations police contribution in Burundi. Against that background, the African Union requested that the Secretariat consider modalities through which the United Nations would assist the African Union in completing the deployment of and providing support to its human rights observers and military/security experts so that the strength agreed upon with the Government of Burundi could be reached. It also specified that such support could include communications and other equipment, mobility and co-location, which would maximize the use of available resources as well as facilitate mandate implementation. A copy of the note verbale is provided in enclosure II.
