UN Security Council to hold talks on extending UNAMA mission in Afghanistan

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), whose one-year mandate was extended last March, is about to end soon. The UN Security Council will discuss renewing it in an upcoming session.

According to reports, UNAMA’s mission in Afghanistan officially ends on March 17th, and there is considerable hope for extending this mission.

Experts believe that in the upcoming UN session to discuss extending UNAMA’s mission, it is highly likely that the mission will be extended for another year.

On the other hand, reports indicate that most members of the UN Security Council are in favor of extending this mission, with at least fifteen members of the council declaring their support for what is being read as the extension of UNAMA’s mission in Afghanistan during the March 6th session.

This session is scheduled to be held today, Thursday, March 14th.

The de facto administration welcomed the extension of UNAMA’s mission in Afghanistan last year, but this year, it has not yet commented on the possibility of extending this mission.

UNAMA, or the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, is primarily a political mission established in 2002 at the request of the then-Afghan government by the United Nations Security Council. This mission has been annually renewed since that date.
