The United Nations Interim Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) was born on 10 June 1999 when the Security Council in resolution 1244 authorised the Secretary-General to establish in the war-ravaged province of Kosovo an interim civilian administra- tion led by the United Nations under which its people could progressively enjoy substantial autonomy. In Kosovo, the United Nations took on a sweeping undertaking that was unprece- dented in both its scope and structural complexity. No other mission had ever been designed in a way that other multilateral organisations were full partners under United Nations leadership. January 2005 A United Nations police officer in Kosovo was killed in a bomb explosion, leading the chief UN envoy for the ethnically-divided province to condemn the attack as a "despicable act that would certainly be repudiated by the people of Kosovo."
