(MENAFN- QNA) The Security Council has extended for another year the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) and expressed its intention to review the operation's mandate in 12 months or sooner, if requested by the Iraqi Government.
Adopting a resolution, the Council extended UNAMI's mandate through 31 July 2016, and, in line with the recommendations in the Secretary-General's latest report to revise and prioritize the Mission's tasks, requested the UN chief, in full consultations with the Iraqi Government, to report back with further details within the next 90 days.
In the report, the Secretary-General describes a UN strategic assessment mission conducted from 21 to 29 April. Based on an overview of the current situation in Iraq as a point of departure, as well as extensive consultation with the Iraqi authorities and key national and international partners on the ground, the strategic assessment mission report endeavoured to look beyond the current crisis and to provide recommendations for UN strategy and configuration in Iraq in the next several years.
