Administrative history
The United Nations Observer Mission to Verify the Electoral Process in Nicaragua (ONUVEN) was established in Nicaragua on 25 August 1989 and remained active until issuing its final report after the elections on 25 February 1990. During this time the UN Secretary-General provided the General Assembly with five separate reports on various stages of the process, covering, among other things, the functions of the national electoral authority, preparation of electoral rolls, organization of political parties, role and fairness of the mass media, acts of violence and intimidation, voting controls and procedures, observation of the voting, conduct of the vote, ballot count and results. ONUVEN ultimately gave a positive assessment of the conduct of the elections and identified no problems which might have cast doubts as to their fairness. Some doubts about the validity of the process were expressed by the opposition, but these were allayed by their own victory.
