The United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT) was established on August 25, 2006 by UN Security Council Resolution 1704. Its objectives are "to support the Government in consolidating stability, enhancing a culture of democratic governance, and facilitating political dialogue among Timorese stakeholders, in their efforts to bring about a process of national reconciliation and to foster social cohesion".[1] Its current mandate will expire on February 26, 2008.[2]
