17. 2018 年 2 月 28 日，安全理事会一致通过了第 2404 (2018)号决议，将联合国几内亚比绍建设和平综合办事处(联几建和办)的任务期限延长一年，至 2019 年 2月 28 日。该决议为联几建和办确定了一系列重点突出的优先事项，并请我定期提交关于局势的报告以及对联几建和办的评估，包括可能调整联合国在该国驻留的备选办法和重新排定各项任务的优先次序。根据安理会的决议，我派出了一个技术评估团，协助联几建和办按照修订后的任务规定调整其态势，并成立了一个包容各方的变革管理小组，以确保新的态势得到迅速实施。根据修订后的任务规定，联几建和办的工作重点是支持 2018 年举行立法选举。评估认为，支持宪法审查(这是联几建和办的另一个已获授权的优先事项)方面的进展将取决于及时和成功地举行这些选举。
17. On 28 February 2018, the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2404 (2018) extending the mandate of the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea-Bissau (UNIOGBIS) for one year, until 28 February 2019. The resolution identified a focused set of priorities for UNIOGBIS and requested me to provide regular reports on the situation, as well as an assessment of the Mission, including options for a possible reconfiguration of the United Nations presence and the re-prioritization of tasks. Pursuant to the Council’s resolution, I deployed a technical assessment mission to assist UNIOGBIS in reorienting its posture to align with the revised mandate and established an inclusive change management team to ensure its swift implementation. In line with its revised mandate, UNIOGBIS is focusing on support to the holding of legislative elections in 2018. Assessments are that progress on support for constitutional review, which is another mandated priority of the Mission, will be contingent on the timely and successful conduct of these elections.
