               United Nations                                                                   S/RES/2355 (2017)
               Security Council                                               Distr.: General
                                                                              26 May 2017




               Resolution 2355 (2017)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 7952nd meeting, on
               26 May 2017

                    The Security Council,
                    Recalling all its previous resolutions and statements of its President
               concerning the situation in Somalia, in particular resolutions 2245 (2015) and 2297
               (2016),
                     Noting that the joint assessment mission of the African Union Mission in
               Somalia (AMISOM) requested in paragraph 24 of resolution 2297 (2016) to ensure
               that AMISOM is properly configured to support the next phase of state -building in
               Somalia, and requested to present options and recommendations to the Security
               Council, has been delayed,
                    Looking forward to the report of the joint assessment by 15 July 2017,
               recognizing the importance of adequate time to consider the recommendations of the
               report and in this regard, also recognizing the need for an extension to the
               authorization of AMISOM,
                     Determining that the situation in Somalia continues to constitute a threat to
               international peace and security in the region,
                    Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
                    1.    Decides to authorize the Member States of the African Union to maintain
               the deployment of AMISOM until 31 August 2017, in line with the Security
               Council’s request to the African Union for a maximum level of 22,126 uniformed
               personnel, and authorizes AMISOM to take all necessary measures to carry out its
               mandate, as set out in paragraphs 4-7 of resolution 2297 (2016);
                     2.    Requests the Secretary-General to continue to provide logistical support
               as set out in paragraph 2 of resolution 2245 (2015);
                    3.   Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.
