The U.N.'s most powerful body voted unanimously to approve the resolution a day after a wave of attacks killed 115 people across the country and wounded hundreds.
The resolution adopted Wednesday welcomes improvements in Iraq's security situation but stresses that challenges to security still exist "and that improvements need to be sustained through meaningful political dialogue and national unity."
The council underscored the need for all communities to refrain from statements which could aggravate tensions, to reach a solution on the distribution of Iraq's oil wealth and to resolve disputes over the country's internal boundaries.
