Synopsis of Resolution 1723: A Chapter VII Resolution, Resolution 1723 extends the mandate of the multinational force in Iraq until 31 December 2007 and "reaffirms the authorization for the multinational force as set forth in resolution 1546 (2004)." Resolution 1723 also "notes that the presence of the multinational force in Iraq is at the request of the Government of Iraq."

The extension of the mandate created by Resolution 1723 contains the qualification that "the mandate for the multinational force shall be reviewed at the request of the Government of Iraq or no later than 15 June 2007, and declares that [the Security Council] will terminate this mandate earlier if requested by the Government of Iraq." Resolution 1723 also extends "the arrangements established in paragraph 20 of resolution 1483 (2003) for the depositing into the Development Fund for Iraq of proceeds from export sales of petroleum, petroleum products, and natural gas" until 31 December 2007, which may be reviewed at the request of the Iraqi Government or no later than 15 June 2007.
