The United Nations headquarters in New York on March 17, 2022. – The UN Security Council voted Thursday to establish formal ties with Taliban-run Afghanistan, which has yet to win widespread international recognition.

The country has known almost continuous war since 1979, broken up only by the Taliban’s first regime from 1996 to 2001.
