               Resolution 2059 (2012)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 6812th meeting, on
               20 July 2012
                    The Security Council,
                   Commending the efforts of the United Nations Supervision Mission in Syria
               (UNSMIS),
                    1.    Decides to renew the mandate of UNSMIS for a final period of 30 days,
               taking into consideration the Secretary-General’s recommendations to reconfigure
               the Mission, and taking into consideration the operational implications of the
               increasingly dangerous security situation in Syria;
                    2.    Calls upon the parties to assure the safety of UNSMIS personnel without
               prejudice to its freedom of movement and access, and stresses that the primary
               responsibility in this regard lies with the Syrian authorities;
                    3.    Expresses its willingness to renew the mandate of UNSMIS thereafter
               only in the event that the Secretary-General reports and the Security Council
               confirms the cessation of the use of heavy weapons and a reduction in the level of
               violence by all sides sufficient to allow UNSMIS to implement its mandate;
                    4.  Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Council on the
               implementation of this resolution within 15 days;
                    5.   Decides to remain seized of the matter.
