UN Security Council to hold session on Afghanistan

The United Nations Security Council has announced plans to convene a session on Afghanistan in September.

The exact date of the session has not been specified, but Sima Bahous, the head of UN Women, and Rosemary DiCarlo, the head of UNAMA, are expected to participate.

While the session’s agenda remains unclear, at least one representative from Afghanistan’s civil society has been invited to speak.

Rosemary DiCarlo is expected to provide the Security Council with her latest assessment of the situation in Afghanistan.

This session takes place as the Taliban has reacted to UNAMA’s criticism of their rule by severing cooperation with the United Nations.

Moreover, the dire humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan is exacerbated by severe restrictions on girls’ and women’s rights, including bans on education and employment, highlighting ongoing human rights abuses in the country.

The suppression of fundamental freedoms continues to deepen the humanitarian plight of Afghans, necessitating urgent international attention and action to address the worsening situation.
