UNSC extends UNAMI's mandate
NEW YORK, July 29 (KUNA) -- UN Security Council decided in a resolution adopted this morning to extend the mandate of the United Nalions Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) until July 31, 2016.
The Security Council adopted unanimously resolution 2233, recognizing that security of United Nations personnel is essential for UNAMI to carry out its work for the benefit of the people of Iraq, and called upon the Government of Iraq to "continue to provide security and logistical support to the UN presence in Iraq."
The mandate came after noting the presence of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) on Iraq's sovereign territory is a major threat to Iraq's future, and underscoring that the only way to address this threat is for all Iraqis to work together by addressing needs in the security as well as the political realm.
Moreover, the resolution welcomed the recommendation of the Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in his latest report to revise and prioritize the tasks of UNAMI, and requesting the Secretary General, in full consultations with the Iraqi government to report back in further detail about such recommendation to the Council within the next 90 days.
UNAMI the political mission established in 2003 by the Security Council resolution 1500 at the request of the Government of Iraq. Since then, it has been on the ground.
