In the preamble of the resolution, the Council expressed concern about the continued instability in Guinea-Bissau, including the lack of civilian oversight of the military and unlawful detentions since the unrest in April 2010.[2] It stated that the situation in the country posed threats to security and stability in the region, particularly the issue of drug trafficking. All parties in Guinea-Bissau had to continue dialogue, promote human rights and the rule of law and fight against impunity.
