Description

The Security Council today extended for 12 months the mandate of the team tasked with monitoring sanctions against the Taliban and its associated groups and individuals, as members disagreed over references to human rights and the situation of Afghanistan’s women and girls under Taliban rule.

Unanimously adopting resolution 2816 (2026) (to be issued as document S/RES/2816(2026)) under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the 15-member organ decided that all States will continue to implement the sanctions measures laid out in resolution 2255 (2015). Those are imposed both on the Taliban and related “individuals, groups, undertakings and entities” that threaten Afghanistan’s peace, stability and security.
