UNSC extends mandate of UN mission in Afghanistan for three months

 The UN Security Council Monday unanimously adopted a resolution extending the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for only three months, until June 17.This short-term extension follows negotiations over the mandate's duration. China initially proposed the usual one-year extension, but the United States pressed for a three-month extension.In the unanimously adopted resolution, the UNSC members commended the ongoing efforts to implement the mission's tasks and priorities, stressing the critical importance of maintaining the presence of UNAMA and other UN agencies, funds, and programs throughout Afghanistan.They also called on all relevant Afghan parties, including the competent authorities and international actors, to cooperate with the UN mission in implementing its mandate and to ensure the safety, security, and freedom of movement of UN personnel and associated personnel.
