Description

The Security Council today extended the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) until 17 June 2027, as speakers warned that the systematic exclusion of women and girls from public life continues to undermine Afghanistan’s prospects for peace, stability and recovery.

Unanimously adopting resolution 2822 (2026), (to be issued as document S/RES/2822(2026)), the 15-member Council decided that UNAMA, under the leadership of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, will continue “to support the people of Afghanistan in a manner consistent with Afghan sovereignty, leadership and ownership”.
