The decision was adopted with the approval of a resolution that extends the mission’s mandate by two years and broadens it. 

25 Council members voted in favor of the extension, while seven voted against and 15 abstained. The mission was created in November 2022 following the repression of demonstrations that erupted after the death in custody of young Iranian Mahsa Amini.
