The United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Sierra Leone (UNIPSIL) was established pursuant to Security Council resolution 1829 (2008) of 4 August 2008. UNIPSIL was established upon the termination of the United Nations Integrated Office in Sierra Leone (UNIOSIL), which in itself was the replacement for the United Nation Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL), which had been established in 1999. The current mission has both a political and development mandate which integrates the activities of all UN programmes and agencies within the country. On 15 September 2009, the Security Council, by its Resolution 1886 (2009) , extended the mandate of UNIPSIL until 30 September 2010. The mandate was additionally extended until 15 September 2012 established in Security Council resolution 2005 (2011).
