UN To Hold High-Level Briefing On Afghanistan’s Worsening Situation
The UN Security Council will convene on Wednesday to review the situation in Afghanistan amid mounting international concern over human rights restrictions, humanitarian needs, and terrorism-related threats.
The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said on X on Sunday that the meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. Kabul time. Council members are expected to discuss a broad range of political, human rights, humanitarian, social, and economic challenges facing the country.
In previous briefings, most Security Council members have voiced alarm over Taliban policies and the deteriorating human rights environment.
The Taliban, however, have dismissed such global meetings as ineffective, arguing that outcomes lack legitimacy because the group is excluded from international forums. They have repeatedly urged countries to engage directly with their administration.
