Préoccupé par la crise sécuritaire, humanitaire, politique et des droits de l’homme en République centrafricaine et ses implications régionales, le Conseil de sécurité a autorisé en avril 2014 le déploiement d’une opération multidimensionnelle de maintien de la paix des Nations unies, la MINUSCA, dont la protection des civils est la priorité absolue. Ses autres tâches initiales comprenaient le soutien au processus de transition ; la facilitation de l’aide humanitaire ; la promotion et la protection des droits de l’homme ; le soutien à la justice et à l’État de droit ; et les processus de désarmement, de démobilisation, de réintégration et de rapatriement. La mission nouvellement établie a succédé au Bureau intégré des Nations Unies pour la consolidation de la paix en République centrafricaine (BINUCA). La MINUSCA compte actuellement 11 650 militaires et 2 080 policiers, et a pour objectif stratégique de créer les conditions politiques, sécuritaires et institutionnelles propices à la réduction durable de la présence des groupes armés et de la menace qu’ils représentent.
