Observation Mission in Mozambique
The International Observer Military Team for the Cessation of Military Hostilities (EMOCHM) in Mozambique aimed to observe, monitor and ensure the agreement on a cessation of hostilities and implementation of the subsequent stages, without the use of force. This includes the social and economic integration of men of the Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo) into the Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM), as well as their social and economic integration.
This activity provided support for civilian activities related to peacebuilding and conflict resolution by participating in a team of international military observers, monitoring the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of Mozambique and Renamo.
The Observation Mission in Mozambique contributed to the implementation of the agreement to cease hostilities in the country.
