Afghanistan Poses a Threat to Global Security, Says the United Nations Security Council

Afghanistan Poses a Threat to Global Security, Says the United Nations Security Council

RASC News Agency: In accordance with available information, a United Nations Security Council resolution, adopted with 14 votes in favor and one abstention (China), affirms that the drug trade in Afghanistan has metamorphosed into a funding source for terrorist groups, posing a significant threat to global security. On Thursday, December 14th, the United Nations Security Council, via the adoption of a resolution, asserted that Afghanistan, under the dominance of the Taliban, has transformed into a locus menacing international security and peace.

The Security Council further delineated that human rights violations in Afghanistan are a matter of profound concern. The council specifically expressed apprehension regarding the plight of women and minorities, particularly the disparate access of women and girls to education, employment opportunities, societal participation, freedom of movement, and other indispensable services. According to this resolution, the United Nations Security Council sanctions of 1988 against the Taliban have been extended. Consequently, the Taliban remains subject to United Nations sanctions for another year. Despite opposition from China and Russia to sanctions against the Taliban, they refrained from advocating for a review of the sanctions on the group and abstained from vetoing the continuation of the monitoring group’s operations.

Meanwhile, the Security Council consistently asserts that sanctions against the Taliban should be applied in a manner that contributes to peace, stability, and security in Afghanistan. This occurs as the group persistently implores countries worldwide to lift sanctions against them. However, the activities of terrorist groups, gender-based discrimination, and the absence of a comprehensive government have prompted the Security Council to reevaluate the sanctions against the Taliban.

It is noteworthy that in the latest development, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on two members of the Taliban for widespread human rights violations, particularly targeting Afghanistani women and girls.
