The Security Council reaffirmed the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq, and the role of the United Nations in the country. [2] It welcomed the creation of the Governing Council as an important step towards the formation of a representative and widely recognised government. The resolution also established UNAMI to assist the Secretary-General Kofi Annan in the implementation of his mandate under Resolution 1483 for an initial period of twelve months. [3] UNAMI would also assist in the co-ordination of humanitarian and other functions. [2]

Resolution 1500 was adopted by 14 votes to none against and one abstention from Syria.
