South Sudan review

The study will assess the contribution by EUAVSEC South Sudan to the overall security and stability of South Sudan. The study will identify the successes and potential shortcomings in the implementation of the mandates of the missions and also to elaborate on the expectations for European action by the South Sudanese officials. After gaining independence from Sudan in July 2011, the country faces severe challenges with regard to security and stability. Thus, in June 2012, the EU launched its first CSDP mission in South Sudan, EUAVSEC South Sudan, with the objective of establishing the necessary legislative and institutional basis for South Sudan to reach a level of national aviation security in accordance with international standards as well as developing security at Juba International Airport.
