Bosnia and Herzegovina is moving along “a narrowing path” that could lead either towards institutional sustainability and economic revitalization, or stagnation and deconstruction of State institutions, the Security Council heard today from the High Representative of the international community in that country.
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres appointed Arnhild Spence of Norway as United Nations Resident Coordinator in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the host Government’s approval. She took up her post on 1 September 2025.
Marking 30 years since the signing of the historic Dayton Peace Agreement — which ended the bloody Bosnian war of the 1990s — the Security Council today stressed its unwavering support for what is now the sovereign, independent, multi-ethnic State of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The UN Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) reports it has completed repairs and maintenance on the Banton Bridge over the River Kiir, a vital link between Abyei’s central and southern areas and an important trade route with South Sudan. The bridge had been unsafe for months, restricting civilian movement and aid access.
The Security Council today unanimously adopted resolution 2795 (2025), renewing for 12 months the authorization granted to the European Union for the multinational stabilization force, EUFOR-Althea, in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
A report published today by the UN Human Rights Office shows that between the 2021 military coup and 20 August 2025, credible sources have verified the killing of some 7,100 people by the military in Myanmar, a third of them were women and children.
