In April 2011, four months after incumbent Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo rejected the results of elections in which he was voted out from power, United Nations (UN) peacekeepers and French forces attempted to end the political crisis by launching a simultaneous attack on Côte d'Ivoire's security forces and military installations. Within days, Gbagbo's supporters were defeated, the Forces Républicaines de Côte d'Ivoire (FRCI), mostly composed of former rebels from the Forces Nouvelles (FN) insurgency, took full control of Abidjan, and President-elect Alassane Ouattara took office. The decision to intervene was consistent with the enforcement of the unique mandate that the UN had in Côte d'Ivoire during the October and November 2010 presidential elections—its mission (UN Operation in Côte d'Ivoire, UNOCI) was to certify the entire electoral process, including the monitoring of results. In the end, the UN declared Ouattara the legitimate winner. The decision to intervene militarily, in line with the relatively new doctrine of Responsibility to Protect (R2P), was conducted with the UN Security Council's (UNSC) blessing1 as a response to the dramatic deterioration of the postelectoral humanitarian and security situation and the risk of the country's relapse into civil war.KeywordsUnited NationsSecurity CouncilPresidential ElectionInternational Criminal CourtSecurity ForceThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
