The United Nations Security Council is set to hold a meeting next week to review the situation in Afghanistan and the activities of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan UNAMA. According to information released by UNAMA, the meeting is scheduled to take place on June 8. Members of the Security Council are expected to discuss the current situation in Afghanistan as well as the mission’s ongoing work in the country. UNAMA also announced that the extension of its mandate in Afghanistan will be considered on June 16. The Security Council’s most recent meeting on Afghanistan was held on March 9, 2026. During that session, Georgette Gagnon, Acting Head of UNAMA, said that restrictions imposed by the Taliban, particularly on the education of girls and women, had caused harmful consequences for Afghan society. She also described Afghanistan’s humanitarian situation as concerning and warned that a reduction in humanitarian assistance in 2026 could further worsen conditions for the Afghan population. At the conclusion of that meeting, UNAMA’s mandate was extended for an additional three-month period.
