United Nations Security Council resolution 1510, adopted unanimously on 13 October 2003, after reaffirming all resolutions on the situation in Afghanistan, particularly resolutions 1386 (2001), 1413 (2002) and 1444 (2002), and resolutions 1368 (2001) and 1373 (2001) on terrorism, the Council extended the authorisation of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) for a period of one year and expanded its operations outside the capital Kabul to other areas.^[1]

Resolution

Observations

The Security Council recognised that the responsibility for providing security and law and order throughout Afghanistan resided with Afghans themselves. It recalled the Bonn Agreement and its provision for the progressive expansion of ISAF to other areas beyond Kabul.^[3] The Council also stressed the importance of the expansion of central government authority, security sector reform and comprehensive disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration of all armed forces.^[4] There were concerns that the Bonn Agreement could not be fully implemented due to the security situation in parts of the country.

Determining the situation to be a threat to international peace and security, the preamble of the resolution recorded a letter from the Afghan Foreign Minister requesting ISAF assistance outside the capital and from NATO requesting an expansion of the force.

Acts

Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Council expanded the mandate of ISAF to support the Afghan Transitional Administration and its successors to provide a secure environment. ISAF was asked to work with the Transitional Administration and its successors, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Operation Enduring Freedom.^[5]

At the same time, ISAF's mandate, which was due to expire on 20 December 2003, was extended for an additional twelve months. States participating in the force were authorised to use all necessary measures to fulfil the mandate. Finally, the ISAF leadership was requested to provide quarterly reports on the implementation of its mandate.

The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) was a NATO-led military mission in Afghanistan, established by the United Nations Security Council in December 2001 by Resolution 1386, as envisaged by the Bonn Agreement. Its main purpose was to train the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) and assist Afghanistan in rebuilding key government institutions, but was also engaged in the War in Afghanistan (2001–14) against the Taliban insurgency.

Operation Athena is the Canadian Forces contribution to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan.The operation was divided in two phases: the first one took place from July 2003 to July 2005 in the Kabul region and the second one from August 2005 to December 2011 in the Kandahar area. The operation's main objective was to improve Afghanistan's security and governance. Operation Athena in Kandahar constituted the longest combat mission in the history of Canadian Forces. With over 40 000 Canadian military units that, at some point, entered the country - often several times - this operation constitutes the largest military deployment of the Canadian Forces since World War II.
