Security Council Extends Mandate of Iraq Assistance Mission for Final 19 Months to Complete Liquidation Phase, Unanimously Adopting Resolution 2732 (2024)

The Security Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) today for a final 19 month-period until 31 December 2025, after which UNAMI will cease all work and operations except with respect to any remaining liquidation of the Mission.

Unanimously adopting resolution 2732 (2024) (to be issued as document S/RES/2732(2024)), the Council requested that the Secretary-General prepare, in consultation with the Government of Iraq, a transition and liquidation plan to be completed by 31 December for UNAMI to start the transfer of its tasks, as well as the orderly and safe drawdown and withdrawal of its personnel and assets, including identification of an end date for liquidation activities in the country.

The 15-member organ also called on Iraq’s Government to cooperate fully with the UN during UNAMI’s transition, drawdown and liquidation. Further, it commended the Government’s efforts to settle internal issues in Iraq and to make progress towards achieving the milestones set out in the Government’s programme and priorities, including the holding of Iraqi Council of Representatives and Iraqi Kurdistan Region parliamentary elections in due course and other priorities set forth in the resolution.

Taking the floor following the adoption, the representative of the United States, the penholder on Iraq, said:  “It is particularly important that the mandate recognizes the role that UNAMI can play in providing technical support for elections, promoting and protecting human rights and facilitating engagement between Iraq and Kuwait to resolve outstanding issues.”  Noting Iraq’s dramatic change in recent years and the consequent need to realign the Mission, he said:  “Iraq and UNAMI have much to be proud of.”  Council members will continue to monitor further progress towards achieving important milestones in the Secretary-General’s forthcoming reports and recommendations, he added.

The Russian Federation’s delegate said most important is that the United States, as file penholder, has taken into…

UN to conclude political mission in Iraq by 2025

The Iraqi government requested the mission be constituted by a UN Security Council resolution in 2003 following the US-led invasion and overthrow of Saddam Hussein read more

The UN Security Council unanimously voted on Friday, at Baghdad’s request, that the UN political mission in Iraq will withdraw after more than 20 years, by the end of 2025.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohamed Shia al-Sudani demanded earlier this month that the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) be shut down in a letter to the council.

Al-Sudani declared that “the grounds for having a political mission in Iraq” were no longer valid, citing UNAMI’s victory against “great and varied challenges”.

The mission’s mandate was extended by the UNSC resolution that was approved on Friday for “a final 19-month period until 31 December 2025 after which UNAMI will cease all work and operations.”

The Iraqi government requested the mission be constituted by a UN Security Council resolution in 2003 following the US-led invasion and overthrow of Saddam Hussein.

It assists with elections and security sector reform, and it counsels the government on political discourse and reconciliation.

Volker Perthes, a German diplomat, oversaw the secretary-general’s strategic assessment that was requested by the Council during the mission’s previous renewal in May 2023.

In a report released in March, Perthes made a suggestion that the mission might be terminated, saying that “the two-year period identified by the government for the mission’s drawdown can be a sufficient time frame to make further progress.”

Moreover, the length of time will allow for the assurance to hesitant Iraqis that the change “won’t threaten peace and security or lead to a reversal of democratic gains.” according to him.

Considering that UN operations may only take place with the consent of the host country, last month Russia, China, Britain, and France all voiced support for a change in the relationship…

At Baghdad’s request, the UN Security Council has unanimously agreed that the United Nations political mission in Iraq will end its operations by the end of 2025, concluding over two decades of involvement in the country.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani formally requested the closure of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) in a letter to the council earlier this month.

Al-Sudani stated that UNAMI had successfully navigated significant and diverse obstacles, and he highlighted that the conditions necessitating a political mission in Iraq have dissipated. The resolution passed by the UNSC on Friday extends the mission’s tenure for a final 19-month stretch until December 31, 2025, at which point UNAMI will terminate all activities and operations.

Dive deeper

The UN Security Council established the mission through a resolution in 2003, following a request from the Iraqi government in the aftermath of the US-led invasion and the downfall of Saddam Hussein. Its responsibilities include offering guidance to the government on political dialogue, reconciliation efforts, electoral processes, and security sector reform.

During the mission’s last extension in May 2023, the Council directed the secretary-general to conduct a strategic review, overseen by German diplomat Volker Perthes. In a report released in March, Perthes suggested that terminating the mandate could be appropriate, as he found that “the two-year period identified by the government for the mission’s drawdown can be a sufficient…

Iraqi government welcomes the Security Council’s decision to end the tasks of the United Nations mission

Baghdad-INA  
Iraqi government spokesman Basim Al-Awadi expressed the Iraqi government’s welcome today, Friday, of the UN Security Council’s decision to end the mandate and tasks of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq/UNAMI.
 
Al-Awadi said in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), “The Iraqi government expresses its welcome and appreciation for Security Council Resolution No. (2734), which was unanimously issued today, terminating the mandate and tasks of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq/UNAMI, according to a timetable that ends with Complete termination on December 31, 2025.
 
He added, “The end of the mission’s work in Iraq comes at the request of the Iraqi government, which was expressed in the letter of Prime Minister Mohammad Shia Al-Sudani dated May 8, 2024, addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, and the UN Security Council in this regard.”
 
He pointed out, “At a time when we praise the international response to Iraq’s request, we affirm that the UN Security Council’s decision came as a result of the tangible progress that Iraq is witnessing at various levels, stability at the internal level, and the completion of the political construction process that began in 2003, after the overthrow of the dictatorial regime, and the growing capabilities of our heroic armed forces of all types, to protect the country’s sovereignty, the acceleration of the economic and urban renaissance movement, and the advanced steps that have been achieved in the fields of reform, good governance, services and social welfare.”

We take this opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to continued cooperation and sustainable partnership with the United Nations and its development programs operating in Iraq. We express our gratitude to the UN Secretary-General, the UNAMI staff, and the appreciated services and sacrifices they have made since the…

UN mission in Iraq to end after two decades

UN mission in Iraq to end after two decades

         UNITED NATIONS, United States, May  31, 2024 (BSS/AFP) – At the request of
Baghdad, the UN Security Council unanimously decided Friday that the United
Nations political mission in Iraq will leave the country at the end of 2025
after more than 20 years.

       Earlier this month, in a letter to the council, Iraqi Prime Minister
Mohamed Shia al-Sudani called for the United Nations Assistance Mission for
Iraq (UNAMI) to be closed.

       Al-Sudani said UNAMI had overcome “great and varied challenges” and that
“the grounds for having a political mission in Iraq” no longer exist.

       The UNSC resolution adopted on Friday extended the mission’s mandate for “a
final 19-month period until 31 December 2025 after which UNAMI will cease all
work and operations.”

       Farhad Alaaldin, the Iraq prime minister’s advisor for foreign affairs,
welcomed the move, expressing on X his “thanks to UNAMI for all their work
during the past two decades.”

       The mission was established by a UN Security Council resolution in 2003 at
the request of the Iraqi government after the US-led invasion and fall of
Saddam Hussein.

       It has about 700 staff, with key tasks including advising the government on
political dialogue and reconciliation, as well as helping with elections and
security sector reform.

       During the mission’s previous renewal in May 2023, the Council asked the
secretary-general to launch a strategic review, which was overseen by German
diplomat Volker Perthes.

       In a report issued in March, Perthes signaled that the closing schedule
would reassure reluctant Iraqis that the transition “will not lead to a
reversal of democratic gains or threaten peace and security.”

UNSC Decides to Terminate UNAMI Mandate by End of 2025

UNSC Decides to Terminate UNAMI Mandate by End of 2025

01 June 2024
00:02 AM

Article Number :0032

New York, May 31 (QNA) – The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has announced the termination of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) by the end of 2025.
In a resolution adopted today, the UNSC said it took into account the letter from the Iraqi government dated May 8, 2024, decided to extend the mandate of the UNAMI for a final period of 19 months, ending on December 31, 2025. After this date, UNAMI will cease all its assigned activities and operations except for the remaining liquidation activities of the mission.
Resolution 2732 also directs UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to prepare, in consultation with the Iraqi government, a plan for the transfer and liquidation of tasks to be completed by the end of this year. This plan should include a specific date for the conclusion of liquidation activities in Iraq.
The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) is a special political mission established in 2003 under Security Council Resolution 1500, following a request from the Iraqi government. Since its inception, the mission has been active and its role significantly expanded in 2007 under Resolution…

UN votes to end Iraq mission formed after US-led invasion

The UN Security Council voted unanimously on Friday to end the political mission in Iraq, established in 2003 after the US-led invasion toppled Saddam Hussein.

The mission was formulated to lead post-conflict humanitarian work, co-ordinate reconstruction efforts and establish a representative government in the country.

The Iraqi government asked the international body in a May 8 letter to conclude the mission by the end of 2025.

Iraqi government spokesman Bassem Al Awadi said the decision was “a result of the tangible progress that Iraq has witnessed in various ways, stability at the internal level, and the completion of the political construction process that began in 2003, after the overthrow of a dictatorial regime”, the country’s state news agency reported.

The US-sponsored resolution approved on Friday extended the mandate of the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq, known as Unami, for a final 19 months until December 31, 2025, when all of its work will officially cease.

It also asks Secretary General Antonio Guterres to prepare “a transition and liquidation plan” for Unami to start transferring its tasks and withdrawing staff and assets by the end of its mandate.

Mr Guterres is also asked to help the Iraqi government to better prepare for free elections for the federal parliament as well as for the parliament in the Kurdistan region.

The Security Council said it supports Iraq’s continuing stabilisation efforts, including its continuing fight against ISIS, Al Qaeda and their affiliates.

In 2014, ISIS declared a caliphate in large parts of Iraq and Syria and attracted tens of thousands of supporters from around the world.

The extremists were officially defeated by a US-led military coalition in Iraq in 2017 and in Syria in 2019, but cells remain active in both countries.

There are roughly 2,500 US troops stationed in…

At Baghdad’s request: UN mission in Iraq to end after two decades

The UN Security Council has unanimously decided to end the UN’s political mission in Iraq by the end of 2025, following a request from Iraqi Prime Minister Mohamed Shia al-Sudani. The decision reflects Iraq’s desire to assert its sovereignty, with support from major global powers acknowledging the country’s readiness to manage its political future independently.

At the request of Baghdad, the UN Security Council unanimously decided Friday that the United Nations political mission in Iraq will leave the country at the end of 2025 after more than 20 years.

The Iraqi government welcomed the decision, saying it reflected progress and stability in the country since the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) was established in 2003 after the US-led invasion and fall of Saddam Hussein.

But analysts say the mission has struggled to make an impact in areas such as impunity, and that its exit is part of a trend for host nations to reject UN missions.

The UNSC resolution adopted on Friday extended the mission’s mandate until December 31, 2025 “after which UNAMI will cease all work and operations.”

The mission has about 700 staff, with tasks including advising the government on political dialogue and reconciliation, as well as helping with elections and security sector reform.

An Iraqi government spokesman said the UNSC decision marked “the completion of the political building process initiated in 2003 after the fall of the dictatorial regime.”

Earlier this month, in a letter to Security Council, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohamed Shia al-Sudani said UNAMI had overcome “great and varied challenges” and that “the grounds for having a political mission in Iraq” no longer exist.

During the mission’s previous renewal in May 2023, the Council asked the secretary-general to launch a review, which was overseen by German diplomat Volker Perthes.

In a report issued in March, Perthes signaled that the…
