United Nations Security Council Resolution 1662, adopted unanimously on March 23, 2006, after reaffirming all resolutions on the situation in Afghanistan, including resolutions 1589 (2005) and 1659 (2006), the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for an additional period of twelve months.
The Security Council reaffirmed its commitment to the sovereignty, territorial integrity, independence and unity of Afghanistan and welcomed the implementation of the "Afghanistan Compact". It offered support to the country as it built upon the completion of the Bonn Process and welcomed elections held in September 2005.
Meanwhile, the resolution recognised the interconnected nature of the problems in Afghanistan and stressed the mutually reinforcing issues of progress relating to security, governance and development. It was also important to combat narcotic and terrorist threats posed by the Taliban, Al-Qaeda and other groups.
The preamble of the resolution expressed concern at the threats posed by extremist activities. It also reaffirmed the role of the United Nations in Afghanistan and its support for the 2002 Kabul Declaration on Good-Neighbourly Relations.
The Security Council renewed the mandate of UNAMA for an additional twelve months from the date of the adoption of the current resolution. The Afghan authorities and international community were urged to implement the "Afghanistan Compact" fully and meet benchmarks.
