United Nations Security Council Resolution 1941, adopted unanimously on September 29, 2010, after recalling all previous resolutions on the situation in Sierra Leone, particularly Resolution 1886 (2009), the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Sierra Leone (UNIPSIL) until September 15, 2011.The preamble of the resolution began by welcoming a visit to Sierra Leone by the Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and praised the role of UNIPSIL in the country. It endorsed Ban Ki-moon's recommendation that the mandate of UNIPSIL, outlined in resolutions 1829 (2008) and 1886 (2009), be extended for a further year to assist the Government of Sierra Leone with general elections in 2012. In this regard, the Council noted that tensions could increase prior to the elections due to political, security, socio-economic and humanitarian challenges, and the international community was called upon to create an environment to allow the conduct of free and fair elections.
