Every Face Tells a Story: Celebrating People and the United Nations Work in Kosovo

UNMIK works to promote peace, security, stability, and respect for human rights in Kosovo and the region.

UNMIK was established in 1999 as an interim administration, pursuant to Security Council resolution 1244 (1999). The present-day priorities of the Mission remain to promote peace, security, stability, and respect for human rights in Kosovo and the region.

The Mission strives to achieve its strategic objectives by promoting intercommunity trust-building; providing support in the areas of human rights and rule of law; fulfilling its coordination and facilitation roles; advancing the peace and security agendas related to women and youth; and supporting progress towards the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina through the EU-facilitated dialogue.
