UNITED NATIONS: The UN Security Council suggested on Thursday to establish formal ties with the Taliban- run Afghanistan without extending politic recognition to the governance.
Fourteen of the 15 members suggested for the resolution while Russia abstained.
The resolution “ recognises the need to help address the substantial challenges facing Afghanistan’s frugality, including through sweats to restore the banking and fiscal systems”.
It calls for “ sweats to enable the use of means belonging to Afghanistan’s central bank for benefit of the Afghan people, and for strengthened sweats to give philanthropic backing and other conditioning that support introductory mortal requirements in Afghanistan”.
In September last time, the 15- member council had extended the UN political charge in Afghanistan for six months while calling for the establishment of an‘inclusive and representative government’in Kabul.
Although the resolution seeks to formalise ties with Kabul’s new autocrats, it doesn’t use the word Taliban while spelling out the new one- time accreditation for the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA).
Russia’s UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia criticised the council for not consulting the host country. “ We do n’t want it to turn into a UN charge insolvable,” said the Russian envoy while prompting the world body to seek “ more substantial cooperation” between UNAMA and the Taliban.
The resolution, espoused by the Security Council at its th meeting in New York, stresses the crucial part the United Nations will continue to play in promoting peace and stability in Afghanistan.
It reaffirms the United Nations’ strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and public concinnity of Afghanistan, as well as its uninterrupted support for the people of Afghanistan.
It recognises that “ an intertwined and coherent approach among applicable political, philanthropic and development actors, within and outside of the United Nations system, harmonious with their separate authorizations, is critical to erecting and sustaining peace in Afghanistan”.
The resolution “ emphasises the significance of the establishment of an inclusive and representative government, farther emphasising the significance of the full, equal and meaningful participation of women, and upholding mortal rights, including for women, children and nonages”.
It expresses “ deep concern” at the “ dire profitable and philanthropic situation in Afghanistan”, including food instability, and recalling that women, children, and nonages have been disproportionately affected.
The resolution emphasises that the effective delivery of philanthropic backing requires all actors to allow full, safe and unchecked access to all philanthropic help, including women.
It views the situation of women and girls, the duty of restrictions on their participation in public life, and the corrosion of respect for their rights as a cause for critical concern.
