The United Nations Security Council unanimously voted to end its political mission in Iraq, known as UNAMI, by December 31, 2025. Established in 2003 post-Saddam Hussein’s fall, UNAMI’s tasks will be transitioned under a U.S.-sponsored resolution. The Iraqi government requested this move, citing significant national progress. The mission’s final focus includes aiding Iraq’s electoral processes, supporting human rights, and resolving issues with Kuwait. The UNSC supports Iraq’s fight against Islamic State remnants and other extremists. UN Secretary-General Guterres and the UN remain committed to Iraq’s future stability.
