The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting on Afghanistan was held behind closed doors on Monday and three Afghan women were in attendance.
The meeting focused on the recent assessment of Afghanistan by Feridun Sinirlioğlu, the UN Special Coordinator for Afghanistan.
According to the Afghan women, the UN coordinator’s report and plan suggest a road map for Afghanistan, but it also has shortcomings.
“The dialogue should either be inside Afghanistan or at least in the countries of the region where all Afghans can participate in it, not that the dialogue is somewhere behind closed doors where the Afghans are not aware of it,” said Aseel Wardak, an attendee at the meeting.
However, the Islamic Emirate’s spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid says the international community must share any decision with the caretaker government through legal channels.
“Any plan and decision should be shared with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan through its legal means because here is a system, here is a government, here is a nation, here is a country,” said Mujahid.
Meanwhile, some women’s rights activists said that the rights of Afghan women should be defended in global meetings held about Afghanistan.
Sinirlioğlu’s report proposed ways for the IEA to come out of international isolation. In this assessment, it is still recommended to start a national dialogue to form an inclusive government.

The UN Security Council said in a statement on Friday the attack was a “heinous terrorist” act and reaffirmed that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to peace and security in Afghanistan, as well as in the world.
The members of the Security Council underlined the need to hold perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of these “reprehensible acts of terrorism accountable” and bring them to justice.
They urged all countries, in accordance with their obligations under international law and relevant Security Council resolutions, to cooperate actively with all relevant authorities in this regard.
