The Unified Task Force(UNITAF) was the American-led effort to bring humanitarian assistance to Somalia. This mission, although it was not UN endeavor, was authorized by Chapter VII of the UN Charter to use "all necessary means" to create a secure environment that would allow the humanitarian agencies to deliver food and general relief in Somalia. UNITAF was also tasked to promote national reconciliation and economic reconstruction of the country. The mission consisted of a four phase program, the last phase being the transfer of responsibilites to UNOSOM in April 1992. 5, record 3, English, - United%20Nations%20Operation%20in%20Somalia

La Force d'intervention unifiée (UNITAF) est la force déployée sur l'initiative des Américains pour apporter une aide humanitaire à la Somalie. Même s'il ne s'agissait pas d'une mission de l'ONU, la force était autorisée par le Chapitre VII de la Charte des Nations Unies à employer tous les moyens nécessaires pour assurer la sécurité afin que les organismes humanitaires puissent distribuer des vivres et des secours en Somalie. L'UNITAF était également chargée de favoriser la réconciliation nationale et le relèvement économique du pays. La mission consistait en un programme en quatre étapes, la dernière étant le transfert de responsabilités à l'ONUSOM en avril 1992. 6, record 3, French, - Op%C3%A9ration%20des%20Nations%20Unies%20en%20Somalie
