UNITED NATIONS, June 15 (Xinhua) -- The Security Council on Monday unanimously adopted a resolution to renew the mandate of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for one year, until June 17, 2027.
Resolution 2822 requests the UN secretary-general to conduct a strategic review of UNAMA and issue a written report on the results to the council by March 31, 2027.
The review aims to support the effective implementation of UNAMA's mandate, improve structural coherence, eliminate duplication, and strengthen coordination across UN activities in Afghanistan. It will also address any challenges that may directly impede the mission's capacity to deliver on elements of its mandate.
The resolution also requests the UN chief to report to the Security Council every three months on the situation in Afghanistan and the implementation of UNAMA's mandate. ■
