The United Nations Security Council will hold a meeting on Afghanistan this month. According to the council’s report, during this meeting, Roza Otunbayeva, the head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), will present a quarterly report on the situation in Afghanistan.
Additionally, UN Women Executive Director Sima Sami Bahous and a representative from civil society activists will also provide briefings to the council members about Afghanistan.
The UN Security Council report states: “In September, the Security Council will convene for its quarterly open briefing on Afghanistan. Special Representative and Head of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) Roza Otunbayeva and UN Women Executive Director Sima Sami Bahous are expected to brief. A civil society representative may brief as well. Closed consultations are scheduled to follow the briefing.”
Fazl Rahman Oria, a political analyst, said: “Every three months, the Security Council normally holds a meeting on Afghanistan, during which a report on Afghanistan is presented to them. These reports are almost entirely consistent in both content and form.”
The Islamic Emirate has not yet commented on the latest Security Council meeting on Afghanistan. However, it has previously repeatedly urged UNAMA to consider the realities of Afghanistan in its reports.
Yesterday, the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, during a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, said that Afghanistan is currently the target of a propaganda war.
Salim Paigir, another political analyst, stated: “Before the Security Council, the people of Afghanistan and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan must bring about reforms so that such sessions about Afghanistan are not held anymore.”
Previously, UNAMA had addressed human rights issues, casualties from airstrikes in Khost and Paktika, corporal punishment, freedom of the media, and other issues in its reports, which the Islamic Emirate had dismissed as repetitive and inaccurate.
