Linda Thomas Greenfield, America’s ambassador to the United Nations, requested the appointment of a special representative of this organization for Afghanistan at the meeting of the Security Council of this organization.
In December last year, the United Nations passed a resolution calling for the appointment of a special representative of the United Nations for Afghanistan.Creating a specific address for the international community regarding Afghanistan, coordinating and providing a context for dialogue between different political forces of Afghanistan for reconciliation, is part of the mission of the possible representative of the United Nations.The American ambassador said at the meeting of the Security Council, which approved a resolution to extend UNAMA’s mission for another year, that Washington wants the full implementation of this council’s resolution regarding the appointment of a special representative of the United Nations.He also said that the extension of the work of the UNAMA office will enable it to facilitate the dialogue between actors related to Afghanistan.The American ambassador to the United Nations also said on Friday that the continuation of UNAMA’s work will allow this organization to deal with issues such as reducing the humanitarian emergency, supporting efforts to restore the basic rights and freedoms of all citizens, especially women.It should be said that the issue of appointing a UN special representative for Afghanistan is an important and vital issue.This action of the United Nations confirms that the country is in a crisis and efforts must be made to overcome the crisis, one way of which is to appoint a special representative.It should be noted that the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan and other anti-Taliban forces also welcomed the plan to appoint a special representative and demanded his early introduction.
