UNITED NATIONS, July 14 (Xinhua) -- The Security Council on Monday adopted two separate resolutions to extend the mandates of the UN missions in Haiti and Yemen.

Resolution 2785 extends the mandate of the UN Integrated Office in Haiti for six and a half months, until Jan. 31, 2026. It expresses the council's intention to consider the UN secretary-general's February 2025 recommendations on options for the possible role of the United Nations in Haiti, notably regarding the establishment of a UN support office to provide logistical and operational support to the multinational police force in Haiti.

Resolution 2786 extends for six and a half months the mandate of the UN Mission to support the Hudaydah Agreement (UNMHA) until Jan. 28, 2026.

The resolution expresses the council's intention to review the full range of options for UNMHA's mandate, including assessing the future viability and sunsetting of the mission, and make any necessary adjustments to gain efficiencies and reduce costs or otherwise as may be required by developments on the ground, including a durable nationwide ceasefire.

It requests UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to present to the Security Council a further review of UNMHA before Nov. 28, 2025.

Both resolutions were adopted unanimously. ■
