I. Introduction
1. The present report is submitted pursuant to General Assembly resolution 64/11 and Security Council resolution 1917 (2010), in which the Council requested me to report on developments in Afghanistan every three months.
2. The report provides an update on the activities of the integrated United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and reviews the situation in the country since my previous report of 10 December 2010 (A/65/612-S/2010/630). The annex to the report contains an assessment of progress towards benchmarks and indicators since my report of 10 March 2010 (A/64/705-S/2010/127), in line with Security Council resolution 1868 (2009). The benchmarks against which progress has been tracked have been slightly revised from those presented in my report to the Council of 22 September 2009 (A/64/364-S/2009/475). They are now organized around the objectives and indicators agreed at the International Conferences on Afghanistan, held in London on 28 January 2010 and in Kabul on 20 July 2010, referred to as the Kabul process, as well as the mandate of UNAMA.
