UN Votes to Establish Ties with Taliban Terror Org

The UN is dead. Finished. It’s become the international arm for the worst terrorists and dictators on the face of the earth. The United Nations has been worse than ineffective. It has been outright complicit.

The world has changed a great deal from the time of the United Nations birth in 1945, and so has the United Nations. Over seventy years ago democracies, both nascent and well established, comprised the majority of the founding nations of the UN. The members of the General Assembly were strategically aligned primarily along what would become the lines of the Cold War. America was confident that the UN would be an organization which would work in tandem with American national interests in promoting the welfare of humankind and the basic rights of every human spirit.

Wrong.

UN votes to establish ties with Taliban government in Afghanistan: Report

By Mike Brest, Washington Examiner| March 17, 2022:

The United Nations Security Council voted to establish ties with the Taliban, which is the governing body in Afghanistan, even though most of the international community have not yet recognized them.

The council approved a resolution on Thursday that does not use the word Taliban, and it details a new one-year mandate for the U.N. political mission in Afghanistan, according to Agence France-Presse. Fourteen countries voted in favor, while Russia abstained.

“This new mandate for UNAMA (the UN mission to Afghanistan) 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 U.N. Ambassador Mona Juul, whose country drafted the resolution, 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,”

The Taliban overthrew the Afghan government in the middle of August, at a time when the United States was only weeks away from departing for the first time in 20 years. The U.S., in partnership with a number of other Western countries, launched a noncombatant emergency operation to help Americans, third-country nationals, and Afghans who were believed to be at risk under the new Taliban regime flee. They helped roughly 120,000 people flee during that time.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres wrote to the Security Council in January saying it received “credible allegations” that the Taliban had killed more than 100 people associated with the previous government, its security forces, or those who worked with international troops since they assumed power, according to the Associated Press.

The Taliban also finds themselves in a difficult position with ISIS-K, the Afghanistan affiliate of the Islamic State, continuing to grow because the two sides don’t get along. The Taliban’s relationship with al Qaeda is somewhat better, though the two groups’ presence presents challenges for the Taliban.

The Biden administration announced last month that it’s releasing $7 billion in frozen Afghan funds, clearing a path for the families of the Sept. 11 terror attacks to pursue half, with the remaining distributed for humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan amid a food crisis.

“An estimated 22.8 million people are projected to be in ‘crisis’ and ’emergency’ levels of food insecurity until March 2022,” the U.N. chief said in the letter, detailing the humanitarian problems. “Almost 9 million of these will be at ’emergency’ levels of food insecurity — the highest number in the world. Half of all children under five are facing acute malnutrition.”
