The U.N. Security Council unanimously voted to terminate the U.N. political mission in Iraq, established in 2003 after the U.S.-led invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein. The mission aimed to coordinate post-conflict humanitarian and reconstruction efforts and assist in reinstating a representative government in Iraq.
The Iraqi government requested the council to conclude the mission by the end of 2025, as per a letter dated May 8. The resolution extends the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) for a final 19 months until December 31, 2025, when all operations will cease.
