Vote on extension of UNAMA mission in Afghanistan

The UN Security Council will vote on Monday to extend the mission of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan by three months.

The resolution is reportedly designed to continue UNAMA’s political, humanitarian and monitoring activities in Afghanistan.

UNAMA’s mandate includes coordinating international assistance, monitoring the human rights situation and supporting political processes in Afghanistan.

The Security Council’s decision to extend the mission could have an impact on the continued presence and role of the UN in monitoring developments in Afghanistan.
