Mandate

The Mission’s main objective is to help achieve a lasting, comprehensive political settlement of the Transdniestrian conflict; to consolidate Moldova’s independence and sovereignty; and to reach an understanding on Transdniestria’s special status. Its tasks also include providing advice and expertise on human and minority rights and democratic transformation. In 1999, this original mandate was enlarged to ensure the transparency of the removal and destruction of Russian ammunition and armaments and the co-ordination of financial and technical assistance for this.
