The Council is expected to renew the mandate of the UN mission in Abyei (UNISFA), which expires on 15 May 2016. The Council should ensure UNISFA’s human rights monitoring mandate is gender-sensitive by expanding SCR 2251 (2015) (OPs. 24 & 25) to include violations against women and SGBV, women’s participation in monitoring activities, and addressing the need for protecting the rights of survivors. Additionally, the Council should broaden its commitment to women’s participation, mentioned in the mandate’s preambular paragraphs, by providing concrete measures to promote the empowerment of women in post-conflict situations, including building women’s participation in decision-making processes.
