Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
The UN Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was established by a decision of the United Nations Security Council in 1999 to monitor the peace process after the end of the Second Congolese War.
On 1 July 2010, the UN Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) replaced the previous UN peacekeeping operation. This transition was carried out in accordance with Security Council resolution 1925 of May 28 in order to ensure peace and stability during the new stage of the country's development.
The Mission is authorized to use all necessary means to fulfill its mandate, including the protection of civilians, humanitarian personnel and human rights defenders at immediate risk of physical violence, and to support the Government of the DRC in its work to stabilize and consolidate peace.
As of 2024, the number of UN peacekeeping forces in the Congo reaches more than 12 thousand military personnel from 49 countries, including two Kazakh officers.
In 2023, the Republic of Kazakhstan sent two military personnel to the mission, Lieutenant Colonel Altynbek Zhalmukhanov and Major Batyr Tuyakov, as military observers.
