Kuwait demands action on POWs, UN urges urgency

NEW YORK: Kuwait Permanent Delegate at the United Nations Ambassador Tareq Al-Bannai reaffirmed the necessity of pursuing special operations to locate the remains of 308 missing Kuwaitis and prisoners. Bannai, addressing a special Security Council session on Thursday, called on the international community to adopt a renewable mechanism to “move this file forward”

This multiparty operation has so far failed to identify the remains of half of the prisoners and missing persons, he said, stressing that the operation must continue. Bannai stressed the necessity that the Security Council work out a mechanism to accelerate the search, proposing the assignment of a senior-level coordinator for this file, as the 1284 UNSG Security Council Resolution of 1999 stipulates.

He lauded the intensive efforts that had been exerted to collect information and evidence for preparing the 40th report on the issue for the UN Secretary-General, who is concerned with the file of the missing Kuwaitis, third-country citizens and Kuwaiti properties, including the national archives, in line with the 4th article of Resolution 2107 of 2013. He acclaimed the performance of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) and affirmed Kuwait’s support for completing its tasks of resolving pending matters, namely the file of the prisoners and the missing, during its work period that expires in Dec 2025.

Bannai expressed hope that all pending files with Iraq would be worked out during the mission’s set action period and appealed to the concerned authorities in Iraq to continue efforts at this level. Moreover, the Kuwaiti delegate indicated that in the event all these files have not been tackled for good, “we all ought to look together for other options”. He reiterated Kuwait’s affirmation with respect to the necessity that Iraq’s sovereignty and decisions be respected concerning the UNAMI presence in the country.

Iraq Seeks End Of UN Mission By End Of 2025

BAGHDAD: Iraq has formally requested that a United Nations support mission set up after the 2003 US-led invasion of the country end its work by the end of 2025.

The country said the mission was no longer needed because Iraq had made significant progress toward its stability and security.

The mission, based in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, was established with a broad mandate to help develop Iraqi institutions, promote human rights and support political dialogue.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani said Iraq wanted to boost cooperation with other UN organizations but there was no need for the UN assistance mission, known as UNAMI.

The mission’s head in Iraq often holds meetings with top political, judicial and security officials to preventing and resolving conflicts, however, critics have often described it as interference.

Sudani in a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Iraq has managed to take important steps in many areas, particularly those that fall under UNAMI’s mandate.

Iraq’s government has since 2023 moved to end several global missions, including the US-led coalition formed in 2014 to fight Islamic State and the UN’s mission set up to help promote accountability for the jihadist group’s crimes.

Some diplomats and UN officials worry about situation of the human rights and accountability in a country that frequently ranks among the world’s most corrupt and where according to rights activists freedom of expression has been curtailed.

The government of Iraq says it is working to fight corruption and rejects there is less room for free expression.

Somalia’s government also sought the termination of a UN political mission this week. In a letter to the Security Council, the country’s foreign minister sought the departure of the Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM).

Iraq Wants UN Assistance Mission To Wind Up Next Year

united nations, iraq

Iraq has asked for the United Nations Assistance Mission (UNAMI), set up after the 2003 US led invasion, to conclude its work by the end of 2025. Iraqi officials argue that the mission, known as UNAMI, is no longer required due to significant progress towards stability.

UNAMI, headquartered in Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone, was established with a broad mandate to support Iraqi institutions, political dialogue, elections, and human rights.

However, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has suggested that Iraq no longer needs the mission’s political support, though it seeks continued collaboration with other UN agencies.

In a letter to the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Sudani highlighted Iraq’s progress in areas covered by UNAMI’s mandate.

The head of UNAMI in Iraq often mediates between political, judicial, and security leaders. While supporters see the mission’s involvement as crucial to conflict resolution, critics have sometimes accused it of interference.

Since 2023, Iraq’s government has been winding down international missions, including the US led coalition formed in 2014 to combat the Islamic State and the UN mission promoting accountability for crimes committed by the jihadist group.

Nitin A Gokhale WhatsApp Channel

Iraqi officials insist the country has recovered from sectarian violence following the invasion and from the Islamic State’s attempt to establish a caliphate, making international assistance less essential.

Despite this progress, some diplomats and critics are concerned about the fragile state of Iraq’s young democracy, given frequent conflicts involving heavily armed political-military groups and human rights challenges.

Critics argue that freedom of expression has declined, while Iraqi authorities claim they are tackling corruption and protecting fundamental freedoms.

Similarly, Somalia’s government has also called for ending a UN political mission. In a letter to the Security Council, the foreign minister…

Iraq demands end of UN assistance mission by end of 2025

Iraq has demanded that a UN assistance mission, set up after the 2003 US-led invasion of the country, ends its work by the end of 2025.

Unami is no longer required as the Middle East country has made significant progress towards stability and wants to deepen co-operation with other UN organisations, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al Sudani said.

“Iraq has managed to take important steps in many fields, especially those that fall under Unami’s mandate,” he said in a letter to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.

The mission, based in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, was set up to help develop Iraqi institutions, support political dialogue and elections, and promote human rights.

Unami’s chief in Iraq often meets top political, judicial and security officials in work that supporters see as important to preventing and resolving conflicts but which critics have described as interference.

Since 2023, Iraq has moved to end several international missions, including the US-led coalition created in 2014 to fight ISIS and a UN mission established to promote accountability for the extremist group’s crimes.

Iraqi officials argue that the country has come a long way from the sectarian bloodletting that took place after the US-led invasion and during the attempt by ISIS to establish a caliphate, and that it no longer needs as much international help.

However, some critics worry about the stability of the young democracy, given recurring conflicts and the presence of many heavily armed military-political groups that have often fought battles on the streets, the last time being in 2022.

Some diplomats and UN officials also worry about human rights and accountability in a country that frequently ranks among the world’s most corrupt and where activists say freedom of expression has been curtailed in recent years.

Iraq’s government says it is working to fight corruption and denies…

World News | Iraqi Govt Asks UN to Wind Down Its Political Mission in the Country

Baghdad, May 10 (AP) The Iraqi government has requested that the United Nations end a mission set up to promote governance and human rights reforms in the country by the end of 2025, the latest in a series of international bodies operating in the nation that Iraq has sought to wind down.

The letter sent Wednesday by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres declared that there is “no need for the continuation” of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI).

Sudani said Iraq’s government has “been able to achieve a number of important steps” in areas that fall under the body’s mandate. rendering it redundant.

Typically, the mission is extended annually by the UN Security Council, with the current term expiring at the end of this month.

Sudani’s letter did not oppose a one-year extension but said the mission should focus on wrapping up its tasks to ensure a permanent closure and transfer of its responsibilities by the end of 2025.

Established in 2003 in the wake of the US invasion that toppled longtime dictator Saddam Hussein, UNAMI had been tasked with a number of missions, including facilitating dialogue among various groups, assisting with election logistics, monitoring human rights, and coordinating aid in conflict-affected areas.

A UNAMI spokesperson and a spokesperson for Sudani declined to comment on the Iraqi government request.

Sudani’s government has made a series of moves to extricate Iraq from the presence of international bodies set up post-2003.

Earlier this year, Iraq initiated discussions to phase out the mission of a US-led military coalition formed to fight…

Iraq Seeks End Of UN Assistance Mission By End-2025

BAGHDAD: Iraq has asked that the UN assistance mission set up after the US-led invasion of the country in 2003 end its operations by the end of 2025, saying it is no longer needed because Iraq has made significant progress towards stability.

Based in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, the mission was established with a broad mandate to assist in the development of Iraqi institutions, support political dialogue and elections, and promote human rights.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani said Iraq wants to deepen cooperation with other UN organizations, but the political work of the UN assistance mission, known as UNAMI, is no longer needed.

The head of the mission in Iraq frequently shuttles between top political, judicial and security officials in a job that supporters see as important to conflict prevention and resolution but critics have often described as meddling.

Sudani in a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that the country has managed to take important steps in many areas, especially those under the mandate of UNAMI.

The Iraqi government has decided to end several international missions from 2023, including the US-led coalition formed in 2014 to fight Islamic State and the UN mission set up to help hold the jihadist group accountable for its crimes.

Iraqi officials say the country has come a long way since the sectarian bloodshed following the US-led invasion and Islamic State’s attempt to establish a caliphate, and that it no longer needs as much international help.

Some critics worry about the stability of the young democracy given the recurring conflicts and the presence of many heavily armed military-political groups that have often fought in the streets, most recently in 2022.

Some diplomats and UN officials are also concerned about…
