Tensions remain a concern in Bosnia and Herzegovina - BiH Briefing | United Nations

“While the overall security situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina remains stable, potentially disruptive tensions remain an issue of concern,” the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina said. Briefing the Security Council in New York today (12 May), High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina Christian Schmidt said, “We are witnessing deliberate attempts to deconstruct state-level institutions by blocking them and preventing them from performing the responsibilities they were created for.” Schmidt outlined four priorities for the current year. “The preservation of the institutional order established under the Dayton Peace Agreement, restoration of institutional functionality, a resolution of the issue of apportionment of state property and ensuring the timely introduction of election technologies ahead of the General Elections in October 2026,” he said. The briefing, Schmidt's last before his anticipated departure, came days after he announced his resignation. “Under the prevailing circumstances, I took my personal decision to end my mandate as High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina based on the Dayton General Agreement for Peace and several United Nations Security Council's Resolutions and which I have received by Decision of the Steering Board of the Peace Implementation Council in 2021,” he said. “The process to appoint my successor has begun and I plan to depart my role in June.” Denis Bećirović, Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, addressed the Council under rule 37, warning that the country had narrowly avoided armed conflict in the past year. “A very difficult year 2025 is behind us. The anti-Dayton policy of the leadership of the entity Republika Srpska brought Bosnia and Herzegovina to the brink of armed conflict. The war scenario was avoided thanks to institutional and responsible action in the legal and foreign policy domains,” he said. Bećirović added, “Bosnia and Herzegovina has fulfilled the conditions to receive an invitation for membership in NATO. Our results would have been even better if there had not been constant obstructions and blockades from the entity Republika Srpska.” Turning to the question of responsibility for the country's political crisis, the Presidency Chairman said, “The problem of Bosnia and Herzegovina is not High Representative, but rather the anti-Dayton policy that openly advocates the destruction of the Dayton Peace Agreement and Bosnia and Herzegovina.” He also said, “Advocating ethnic divisions in Bosnia and Herzegovina is not a policy. It is a direct threat to peace.” Also addressing the Council under rule 37, Serbia's Permanent Representative Radomir Ilić reaffirmed his country's support for the peace framework. “Serbia reaffirms its consistent and principled position of respect for the territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina in accordance with the Dayton Peace Agreement, which remains the cornerstone of peace, stability and constitutional order in the country,” he said. Ilić added, “The issue is not centralization versus decentralization nor functionality versus protection. What is needed is precisely what the Dayton Agreement Peace Agreement has already prescribed: constitutional balance and functionality through consent.” He concluded, “Serbia believes that the future of Bosnia-Herzegovina lies in the hands of its legitimate domestic actors. Dialog, compromise and mutual understanding among them are indispensable.” Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative Anna Evstigneeva said, “We recall that the Bosnian issue remains on the agenda of the Security Council under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, and there has been a long-standing practice of approval of High representatives. This did not apply to Christian Schmidt.” She said, “Schmidt never had, nor does he currently have the right to speak on behalf of the international community, nor to send any documentation to the Security Council.”

Delivering on the promise of Sevilla

In a world tormented by war, crises and an already fragile economy, financing challenges, including in response to shocks, continue to obstruct progress towards sustainable development. Many of the poorest and most vulnerable countries are experiencing a “financing squeeze”, suffering from historically high debt service burdens, unprecedented declines in aid, and structurally low tax revenue. A more fragmented world economy is undermining trade, investment and capital flows.

UNIFIL, Lebanon, Palestine & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (12 May 2026) | United Nations

Noon briefing by Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: • Secretary-General Travel • UNIFIL • Lebanon/Humanitarian • Occupied Palestinian Territory • Sudan • Ukraine • Security Council • International Day SECRETARY-GENERAL/TRAVEL In Nairobi today, the Secretary-General participated in the opening session of the "Africa Forward Summit: Africa-France Partnerships for Innovation and Growth", co-chaired by French President Emmanuel Macron and Kenyan President William Ruto.  In his remarks, the Secretary-General said that the title for this conference is apt, given that Africa is a driver of global change: "This is not a continent waiting for solutions. This is a continent producing them,” he said.  He underscored Africa’s efforts in reforming an international system that was designed largely without African voices and continues to operate without adequate representation from the continent.   The Secretary-General said that Africa’s obstacles include collapsing aid budgets, borrowing costs twice those of wealthy nations, 600 million people without electricity, and a climate crisis that Africa did not cause but suffers from disproportionately.  In closing, he pushed for increased partnership - one that is equal, mutually beneficial, and generational. When Africa succeeds, the whole world wins, he said.   On the sidelines of the summit, the Secretary-General held a number of bilateral discussions. With President John Dramani Mahama of Ghana, he exchanged views on the recent developments in the Sahel. He also commended the president on his efforts to promote regional security and cooperation.  Later, the Secretary-General met the President of Egypt, Abdelfattah Al Sisi.  They discussed the situations in Sudan, Libya and the Middle East. The Secretary-General expressed his appreciation for Egypt’s constructive diplomatic engagement to resolve regional issues.  About an hour ago, the Secretary-General left Nairobi for Addis Ababa to attend the annual AU/UN conference.   UNIFIL UNIFIL peacekeepers have reported a concerning increase in drone activity, particularly in Sector West. Over the past 24 hours, peacekeepers observed multiple drones flying over or near UN positions in Shama, Al Mansouri, Al Bayada, and between Ramyah and Beit Lif. An armed quadcopter exploded after crossing Al Bayada hill. At this stage, UNIFIL has not confirmed the origin of the drones observed. Separately yesterday, three presumed Hizbullah drones impacted an area near UNIFIL’s headquarters in Naqoura where Israel Defense Forces troops were present. No UN property was damaged and no peacekeepers were injured. An additional drone crashed inside the headquarters area on Sunday; it was unarmed, and an investigation into its origin is ongoing. Preliminary findings indicate the drone was of Iranian manufacture, suggesting it was a Hezbollah asset. UNIFIL continues to remind all actors to avoid operating in proximity to United Nations positions and personnel, and urges all parties to refrain from actions that could endanger peacekeepers. UNIFIL has protested the presence and activities of Israeli soldiers and vehicles near its headquarters to the Israel Defense Forces, and the activities of non‑state actors near UN positions to the Lebanese Armed Forces. Peacekeepers continue to report extensive Israel Defense Forces military activity across the area of operations, including high‑density armored movements, large‑scale engineering and demolition works, and sustained logistical traffic. Yesterday, peacekeepers recorded 340 launches of projectiles attributed to the Israel Defense Forces and 11 attributed to non-state actors in Lebanon, including Hizbullah.
