UN Extends UNAMA Mandate in Afghanistan Through June
(MENAFN) The UN Security Council on Monday voted to extend the mandate of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for an additional three months, continuing operations until June 17, according to reports.
Through a unanimous adoption of resolution 2818 (2026), the council also requested that the UN secretary-general appoint a new special representative and head of UNAMA as soon as possible.
UNAMA, a special political mission created to support the people of Afghanistan, was first established by the council in March 2002. Its mandate is reviewed annually and has been adjusted over time to respond to the evolving needs of the country, with the most recent extension occurring in March 2025, as stated by reports.
China’s permanent representative to the UN, Fu Cong, explained that because some council members wanted to consider adjustments to UNAMA’s mandate, the three-month extension provides sufficient time for careful deliberation and informed decision-making.
