United Nations Security Council Resolution 1883


United Nations Security Council Resolution 1883 was unanimously adopted on 7 August 2009.

Resolution

The Security Council, reiterating its support to the people and Government of Iraq in their efforts "to build a secure, stable, federal, united and democratic nation, based on the rule of law and respect for human rights", today extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission in that country for another year.
Unanimously adopting resolution 1883, the Council further decided that the Secretary-General’s Special Representative and the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq should continue to pursue their expanded mandate, in accordance with the request by the Government of Iraq and as stipulated in resolutions 1770 and 1830.
Recognizing that the security of United Nations personnel was essential for UNAMI to carry out its work, the Council called on the Government of Iraq and other Member States to continue providing security and logistical support to the United Nations presence in the country. In that connection, the 15-member body called on Member States to continue to provide UNAMI with the financial, logistical and security resources and support it needed.
Expressing its intention to review the Mission’s mandate in 12 months or sooner, if requested by the Iraqi Government, the Council requested the Secretary-General to report quarterly on progress towards fulfilling of all UNAMI’s responsibilities.
