Hi kat,
Here it is:
"UN Security Council extends mandate of multinational force in Iraq
8 November 2005 – The United Nations Security Council decided unanimously today to extend the mandate of the United States-led multinational force in Iraq by one year, until the end of 2006, unless the Iraqi Government requests it leave earlier.
Through previous resolutions, the Council had decided that the Force's mandate could be reviewed or terminated should the Iraqis ask, but would nonetheless expire once a permanent Government was constitutionally elected by the end of 2005."
I believe it will be reviewed in June.
