The UN Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict plans to meet on Monday on the Secretary-General’s report on children and armed conflict in Afghanistan.
“At the subsidiary body level, the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict will hold informal consultations on Monday (18 March) to negotiate its conclusions on the Secretary-General’s report on children and armed conflict in Afghanistan,” the UN Security Council in a statement said.
This is the fifth time this year that the issue of Afghanistan has been brought to the table of the United Nations.
The second meeting of Doha on Afghanistan was held on February 18 and 19, there was a Security Council meeting on February 29, the presentation of the Secretary-General’s quarterly report on the situation in Afghanistan was discussed in the Security Council on March 6, and there was a Security Council meeting on the renewal of UNAMA’s mandate on March 15.
Political analysts said that these meetings have not resulted in any significant outcomes.
“The Islamic Emirate defines the conditional engagement and value-based demands of the Security Council as interference in its internal affairs, which in reality has resulted in these meetings not having an outcome,” said Ahmad Munib Rasa, a political analyst.
Previously, the Islamic Emirate has stated that the ineffectiveness of the UN meetings on Afghanistan was due to the absence of a representative of the caretaker government in these meetings.
