BNUB, established by Resolution 1959 (2010), was authorised to:[1]
- support the development of national institutions;
- promote dialogue;
- combat impunity;
- promote human rights;
- ensure economic and financial policies meet the needs of vulnerable people and advocate resource mobilisation for Burundi;
- support with regional integration issues.
The Security Council gave BNUB an initial twelve month mandate until the end of December 2011,[2] which was extended until February 15, 2013.[3]
The BNUB completed its mandate 31 December 2014, and its responsibilities were transferred to the UN Development Assistance Framework - specifically to the Country Team for Burundi. The UN Electoral Observation Mission in Burundi (MENUB) officially began work on 1 January 2015. [4]
