The University of Notre Dame has emphasized the necessity of a fundamental review of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan. A recent research report urged the mission to focus significantly more on its political and mediation roles.

The comprehensive report suggests that the current mandate has become overly broad and requires an immediate redefinition of priorities. Researchers proposed transferring humanitarian tasks to other specialized UN agencies to greatly enhance the core mission's overall effectiveness.

Recently, the UN Security Council extended UNAMA's mandate for an exceptional three-month period instead of the usual year. This brief extension was requested by the United States to conduct a thorough evaluation of the organization's current performance.
