Mawazine News - Baghdad
The government of Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani intends to reorganize the relationship with the United Nations by asking the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) to complete its tasks by May 2026, according to the letter addressed by United Nations Secretary Antonio Guterres to the Council of Ministers. International Security at the end of last March.

Guterres said during his lengthy message that Prime Minister Mohamed Al-Sudani and his government team asked him during his visit to Iraq last year, “The mission (UNAMI) led by Jeanine Plasschaert must complete its work by May 31, 2026.” Given the state of gradual security and political stability in Iraq.

The UN official stated that the Iraqi government intends to reorganize its work with the United Nations system to work on development and humanitarian issues directly with United Nations agencies, funds and programs, and Baghdad wants the work of these parties to be coordinated through “the local United Nations team in Iraq, and not through a mission.” The Security Council issues a mandate for it.”

Baghdad also requested that “the mission’s mandate be reduced to humanitarian and development issues starting from May 31, 2024,” with this date being followed by a one-year period during which the remaining tasks for a year would be transferred to the country team in Iraq starting in May 2025.

Although the UN official confirmed the need While calling on the country to the presence of the UN mission, he acknowledges during his letter that its current size in Iraq is “larger than it should be” and supports transferring its work “gradually” to a local team as part of a comprehensive formation process for the presence of the United Nations in Iraq.

But the UN official stressed that “if the Iraqi leadership finds that it no longer needs UNAMI’s assistance, it must prepare to take control, and the United Nations must remain ready to support.”

The report recommends that the process of transferring the mission's tasks to a local team take place in agreement with the Iraqi government in accordance with the two-year period it specified.

Guterres believed that the tasks of the UNAMI mission during the transitional period, which begins at the end of next May, should focus on revitalizing the partnership between it and the Iraqi government. With the aim of the gradual transition and preparation for transferring the mission’s capabilities in the areas of elections, human rights, and media, and its capabilities to the local United Nations team, in addition to strengthening the capabilities of the Iraqi government in the field of combating corruption, reforming the security sector, water management, and climate issues.

Despite this, the UN official records a set of observations that he believes still represent a threat to the country, and among those challenges is the “fragility of institutions.” He points to the problem of armed factions and groups, which he expresses as “the spread of armed actors,” as one of the factors of instability, as well as the fear of the possibility of... The emergence of ISIS or a new terrorism.

Guterres pointed to the problem of the struggle for power, most of which is controlled by the Shiite forces. Which leads to the ire of the rest of the Kurdish and Sunni parties, and he says that “the Kurdish and Sunni parties still have little confidence in state institutions, and are looking for an external guarantee for their rights, and they view the United Nations mission as a guarantor party.”

He stressed that the United Nations should “find a way to continue providing technical support on elections and human rights; “This is crucial, in addition to providing advice in resolving national conflicts and managing crises.”

My view is if the U.S. and other NATO allies leave IRAQ, it will only be days before Guterres’ fears will be realized.
