Iraq assumes UN compound following mission closure
(MENAFN) Iraq officially took over the United Nations Integrated Compound in Baghdad on Saturday, marking the conclusion of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) at the end of 2025.
According to official statements, the handover document was signed by Iraq’s deputy foreign minister and the deputy special representative of the UN secretary-general. Both parties emphasized that the closure of the mission ushers in a new phase of development partnership, led by the UN country team in line with Iraq’s national priorities. Bahr Al-Uloom praised UNAMI’s “two-decade contribution to Iraq’s stability and development.”
The handover followed a high-level ceremony on December 13, 2025, attended by Iraqi and UN leaders, which marked the end of UNAMI’s mandate and signaled a transition from crisis management toward long-term development efforts.
UNAMI was established in 2003 by the UN Security Council at the request of the Iraqi government after the U.S.-led invasion, providing advice and assistance to Iraq. Its operations concluded after a final 19-month mandate extension approved in May 2024.
