It did so in approving a resolution that does not use the word"Taliban" and spells out the new one-year mandate of the UN political mission in Afghanistan, which it said was"crucial" to peace in the country.The Security Council had been due to vote on Thursday on a resolution to secure the UN's presence in Kabul into the future.
The resolution includes several strands of cooperation, on the humanitarian, political and human rights fronts, including those of women, children and journalists. “This new mandate for UNAMA is crucial not only to respond to the immediate humanitarian and economic crisis, but also to reach our overarching goal of peace and stability in Afghanistan,” Norwegian UN ambassador Mona Juul told AFP after the vote.
“The Council gives a clear message with this new mandate: UNAMA has a crucial role to play in promoting peace and stability in Afghanistan and to support the Afghan people as they face unprecedented challenges and uncertainty,” Juul said.
