The United Nations Security Council is voting today to extend the mandate of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for another year. This resolution is expected to prolong the mission's presence until June 17, 2027.
Earlier in March, the council had only renewed the mandate for three months to allow for further review. The United States had called for a broader assessment of UNAMA's operations to ensure its goals remain realistic and effectively prioritized in the current environment.
The new draft requests the UN Secretary-General to conduct a strategic review aimed at supporting the effective implementation of UNAMA's mandate. Human rights, particularly the protection of Afghan women and girls, remain a critical focus for the international community.
