ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Thursday ate the UN Security Council resolution that eased the inflow of aid to Afghanistan and expressed the stopgap that the world would urgently fulfill the requirements of floundering Afghans.
“ Pakistan welcomes the relinquishment, by agreement, of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2615, that has reaffirmed that provision of philanthropic and another backing to the people of Afghanistan isn’t a violation of the Security Council’s Warrants governance,” a statement issued by the Foreign Office said.
The Security Council on Wednesday espoused a US-proposed resolution allowing philanthropic aid to be delivered to Afghanistan to forestall a profitable collapse.
The resolution read “ Payment of finances, other fiscal means or profitable coffers and the provision of goods and services necessary to ensure the timely delivery of similar backing or to support similar conditioning are permitted.”
It noted that similar backing would not violate the warrants assessed on the Taliban and their cells.
There has been wide recognition of the aggravating philanthropic situation in Afghanistan, but benefactors have plodded to find ways to deliver aid to the people in the war-destroyed country.

The FO said the resolution had been espoused at a critical time, and the move reflected the transnational community’s “ sense of urgency” to help the Afghan people.
It further noted that the resolution was “ a step in the right direction” for helping the Afghans faced with a dire situation.
It recalled that this sentiment was reflected in the resolution espoused unanimously by the 17th extraordinary session of the OIC’s meeting of Council of Foreign Ministers hosted by Pakistan last week.
The OIC meeting had called for the nippy roll- eschewal of all possible philanthropic, recovery, reconstruction, development, specialized and material backing to Afghanistan.

“ As called for by the OIC, pathways should now be planted towards revitalizing the Afghan frugality and unfreezing the means that rightfully belong to the Afghan people,” it added.
Prime Minister Imran Khan, in his speech at the OIC CFM, had also stated that warrants shouldn’t help the transnational community from furnishing philanthropic and another essential backing to the people of Afghanistan.
“ Pakistan hopes that the transnational community, especially the patron countries, UN agencies, philanthropic organizations, transnational fiscal institutions, and other exigency relief providers, will act fleetly and with determination, to give all possible backing to the people of Afghanistan,” the FO said.
