Other SCR Reports on Afghanistan
In September, Tom Koenigs, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative in Afghanistan announced that he would step down from his post on 31 December 2007. At press time, the Secretary-General was expected to choose Koenig’s successor and inform the Council by the end of the year. It is possible that the Council will want to meet with the new Special Representative in January.
While the Council does not decide on the appointment some members have indicated interest in a more high-profile person in this position who would be able to coordinate the international efforts in Afghanistan. This is likely to become a key issue when the Council considers the mandate of UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan in March 2008.
