Security Council Resolutions

S/RES/1722 (21 November 2006) The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Synopsis of Resolution 1722: A Chapter VII Resolution, 1722 reauthorizes "the Member States acting through or in cooperation with the EU to establish for a further period of 12 months, starting from the date of the adoption of this resolution, a multinational stabilization force (EUFOR) as a legal successor to SFOR under unified command and control, which will fulfil its missions in relation to the implementation of Annex 1-A and Annex 2 of the [General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina] in cooperation with the NATO Headquarters presence in accordance with the arrangements agreed between NATO and the EU as communicated to the Security Council in their letters of 19 November 2004, which recognize that the EUFOR will have the main peace stabilization role under the military aspects of the Peace Agreement." Resolution 1722 also reauthorizes "the Member States acting through or in cooperation with NATO to continue to maintain a NATO Headquarters as a legal successor to SFOR under unified command and control." Other than minor changes, Resolution 1722 is essentially a duplicate of Resolution 1639 (21 November 2005). Resolution 1639 itself is substantially similar to Resolution 1575 (22 November 2004). Cumulatively, all three Resolutions recognize EUFOR as a successor to SFOR and authorize Member States to continue their involvement with either EUFOR or NATO operations.
