Its mandate operates through a Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General in Iraq. The first such representative was Sérgio Vieira de Mello who was killed in the Canal Hotel bombing on 19 August 2003.[2]
The current mandate has been extended to August 2008.[3] One of its tasks is to implement the International Compact with Iraq. The most recent Special Representative of the Secretary-General Ashraf Qazi was appointed on 14 July 2004 and retired on 18 September 2007.[4] Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has appointed Swedish-Italian Staffan de Mistura as new Special Representative.[5]
