About UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA)

    • UNAMA is a political mission that was established in 2002 (with UNSC resolution 1401 )to help rebuild the country after the 2001 US-led invasion.
    • Its Vision: A stable and prosperous Afghanistan that lives at peace with itself and its neighbours, where the Afghan peoples’ human rights are upheld and basic services are available to all.
    • UNAMA’s mission is to support the people and institutions of Afghanistan in achieving peace and stability, in line with the rights and obligations enshrined in the Afghan constitution.
  • Mandate: Its original mandate was to support the implementation of the Bonn Agreement (December 2001). 
  • Reviewed annually, this mandate has changed over time to reflect the needs of the country.
  • Unanimously adopting resolution 2543 (2020), the 15-member Council decided to extend the Mission’s mandate until 17 September 2021.
  • The United Nations has been involved in the region since 1946 when Afghanistan joined the United Nations as a member state of the Organization.

  • Strengthening capacity in the protection and promotion of human rights including the protection of children affected by armed conflict and prevention of child recruitment.
  • Support for gender equality and women’s and girls’ empowerment.
