As the negotiators decided in May to delay the formation of the transitional government until November, Shearer said the United Nations and the regional mediators are "strongly unified in our position that the six-month extension must be the last one."
Urging a transitional government be formed on time, he said "we accept some tasks may not be entirely complete by November ... There are no pre-transitional tasks that cannot be achieved within a unified transitional administration."
In his briefing to the Security Council, the UN envoy also noted a large number of refugees have voluntarily returned to South Sudan, and more and more displaced persons wish to return home.
He stressed about 7 million South Sudanese are still facing crisis or worse but food security is seeing improvements with UN humanitarian partners reaching more areas due to the relative calm following the September deal.
South Sudan descended into civil war in late 2013 and the conflict has created one of the fastest growing refugee crises in the world.
The UN estimates that about 4 million South Sudanese have been displaced internally and externally.
A peace deal signed in August 2015 collapsed following renewed violence in the capital Juba in July 2016.
On Sept. 12, 2018, the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan was signed in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, which has led to relative calm in South Sudan.
Under the new deal, opposition leader Riek Machar will once again be reinstated as President Salva Kiir's deputy.
