I. Introduction
1. By its resolution 1911 (2010), the Security Council renewed the mandate of the United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire (UNOCI) until 31 May 2010 and expressed its intention to review in full, with a view to possible significant modifications, the mandate of UNOCI, as well as the authorization provided to the French forces which support it, the level of troops of UNOCI, and the benchmarks referred to in annex I to my report of 7 January 2010 (S/2010/15). The Council requested me, in paragraph 22 of that resolution, to provide a full report, including detailed recommendations and options for the future of UNOCI, as well as revised benchmarks based on the results of a technical assessment mission. The present report provides an update on major developments since my report of 7 January 2010, as well as the requested options, recommendations and benchmarks, based on the findings and proposals of a technical assessment mission.
