The United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (French: Mission multidimensionnelle intégrée des Nations Unies pour la stabilisation au Mali, MINUSMA)[1] was a United Nations peacekeeping mission in Mali. MINUSMA was established on 25 April 2013 by United Nations Security Council Resolution 2100 to stabilise the country after the Tuareg rebellion of 2012,[2] and was terminated over a decade later on 30 June 2023.[3] Officially deployed on 1 July 2013, MINUSMA was the UN's deadliest peacekeeping mission.[4] While UNIFIL, the mission in Lebanon, has lost more peacekeepers overall, by incident type the majority of those deaths at 135 are officially listed as "accidents."[4][5] At 175 deaths by "malicious act," MINUSMA was officially the deadliest Peacekeeping mission of all time.[4][5]

During MINUSMA's existence, there were two further international peace operations in Mali. These were the European Union missions EUCAP Sahel Mali and EUTM Mali.
