United Nations Security Council Resolution 1958, adopted on December 15, 2010, after recalling resolutions 986 (1995), 1472 (2003), 1476 (2003), 1483 (2003) and 1546 (2004) on the situation in Iraq, the Council terminated the residual activities of the Oil-for-Food Programme.^[1]

Resolution 1958, along with resolutions 1956 (2010) and 1957 (2010), ended some major restrictions placed on Iraq. However, demands that Iraq resolve disputes with Kuwait remained.^[2] The high-level meeting was chaired by United States Vice President Joe Biden.^[3]

The resolution was passed with 14 votes in favour to none against, and one abstention from France, which said additional financial guarantees were required.^[4]
