UN Security Council to Review Afghanistan Situation in Key Meeting Monday

Report by “Safarti Tarjuman” International News Desk

NEW YORK — The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to hold a critical meeting on Monday to evaluate the ongoing situation in Afghanistan, as announced by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA).

Roza Otunbayeva, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative and Head of UNAMA, will address the Council and present her detailed report on the current political, humanitarian, and human rights conditions in Afghanistan. In addition, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will submit his latest official report on the country’s evolving landscape.

This upcoming session is part of the UN’s quarterly assessment routine, wherein UNAMA provides updates on Afghanistan’s progress and challenges.

While these sessions continue regularly, critics argue that UN Security Council meetings on Afghanistan have not led to tangible results in recent years. Observers believe that despite persistent concerns raised during the sessions, the lack of actionable resolutions has left Afghanistan’s issues largely unaddressed on the international stage.

In response, Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid accused UNAMA of exaggerating minor issues and misrepresenting the realities on the ground. He urged the UN to acknowledge the governance strides made under the Islamic Emirate and demanded more accurate, balanced reporting.

Despite nearly four years of lobbying, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has yet to gain recognition or a formal seat at the United Nations. Taliban officials argue that the absence of their representation has resulted in distorted portrayals of Afghanistan’s internal affairs at global forums.

As the UN Security Council prepares to deliberate on Afghanistan’s future, questions remain over the effectiveness of international engagement and the path forward for diplomatic recognition of the current regime.
