De Mistura has ramped up his engagement with the involved parties, meeting with representatives from Morocco, Mauritania, the Polisario, and Algeria during the recent UN General Assembly in New York but has yet to facilitate negotiations between the parties.

The Security Council is expected to extend the MINURSO mandate for another year on October 30.
