I. Introduction
The present report is submitted pursuant to Security Council resolution 2100 (2013) of 25 April 2013, by which the Council established the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), subsuming the United Nations Office in Mali (UNOM), with MINUSMA assuming responsibility for the implementation of the mandated tasks of UNOM.
In that resolution, the Council requested me to keep it regularly informed of the situation in Mali and the implementation of the mandate of MINUSMA and to provide a report to it within 45 days of the adoption of the resolution, specifically on the security situation and the political process, and to include updates on the priority political elements, including the implementation of the transitional road map, the electoral process and relevant information on the progress, promotion and protection of human rights and international humanitarian law. In addition, I was requested to provide a review of the troop level, force generation and deployment of all constituent elements of MINUSMA. The present report provides the requested updates and information on major developments in Mali since the issuance of my report of 26 March 2013 (S/2013/189).
