UNSC adopts formal declaration to renew Afghan mission for three months; all 15 members, including Pakistan, vote in favour
WASHINGTON: The United Nations Global protection body (UNSC) on Monday unanimously adopted a formal declaration extending the authority of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for three months, with all 15 members — including Pakistan — balloting in favour.
The authority will now run from Public demonstration 16 to June 17, marking a departure from UNAMA’s customary one-year renewal amid differences among council members over the duration of the extension.
Explaining its vote, Islamabad stated it supported the extension because UNAMA played a vital role in promoting “calm, protection and stability in Afghanistan,” warning that the country faces an “exponential rise in the security concern of extremist unrest emanating from Afghanistan.”
Diplomatic representative Usman Jadoon, Pakistan’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, stated: “Pakistan supports UNAMA in promoting calm, protection and stability in Afghanistan which confronts multiple challenges, particularly the increasing security concern of extremist unrest, civil liberties, narcotics and diminishing assistance support assistance.”
He emphasized that “the foremost among the challenges faced in Afghanistan is the deteriorating protection condition and exponential rise in the security concern of extremist unrest emanating from Afghanistan.”
The diplomatic representative emphasized out that “elements within the Taliban regime are actively collaborating (with) several assailant groups such as the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan, Balochistan Liberation Forces and Majeed Large military formation, Islamic Province in Iraq and the Levant-Kurdistan, Al Qaeda and East Turkestan Islamic Political push, operating with impunity inside Afghanistan.“
