Is a peace-keeping force established in September 2003 to monitor a
ceasefire agreement in Liberia following the resignation of President Charles
Taylor and the conclusion of the Second Liberian Civil War. The peacekeeping
mission will formally withdraw on 30 March 2018. At its peak it consisted of up to 15,000 United Nations military personnel and 1,115 police officers, along with
a civilian component. It superseded the United Nations Observer Mission in
Liberia (UNOMIL). As of July 2016, 1,240 U.N. military and 606 police personnel
will remain on the ground, but will be there only in case of emergency.
