Introduction

Mindful of its primary responsibility to maintain international peace and security, the Security Council continued to engage in a comprehensive and wide-reaching agenda under the principles and objectives enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. During the period under review, the Council held 222 formal meetings, of which 205 were public meetings. The Council adopted 60 resolutions and 25 presidential statements, and issued 83 statements to the press. One Council mission to Haiti in February, and another one to West Africa (Liberia, Sierra Leone and Côte d’Ivoire) in May, provided Council members with the opportunity to have a closer look at developments on the ground.
