On 30 April 2026, the United Kingdom voted in favour of renewing the mandate of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) at a United Nations Security Council meeting in New York. The UK thanked the United States for its role as penholder. UNMISS is described as indispensable for protecting civilians, providing humanitarian access, monitoring human rights, and supporting the implementation of the Revitalised Agreement on the resolution of the conflict. The UK welcomed a refreshed mandate that is credible, deliverable, and responsive to on‑ground conditions. It called for an immediate end to hostilities, a return to inclusive dialogue, and cooperation from the transitional government, including freedom of movement for UNMISS personnel. The UK remains committed to working with the Council, Secretariat, and UNMISS leadership.
