Monitoring a cessation of armed violence in all its forms
Established by United Nations Security Council
resolution 2043
of 21 April 2012, initially for a 90-day period, to monitor a cessation of armed violence in all its forms by all parties and to monitor and support the full implementation of the Joint Special Envoy’s six-point plan
to end the conflict in Syria.
On 15 June 2012, UNSMIS suspended its activities owing to an intensification of armed violence across the country. This suspension was to be reviewed on a daily basis.
On 20 July 2012, the Security Council decided to extend UNSMIS for a final period of 30 days.
