UN Experts to Hold Informal Meeting on Afghanistan

This meeting comes as the UN Security Council is also planning a formal session soon to discuss Afghanistan’s situation and the mandate of UNAMA in the country.

UN experts will hold a meeting on Thursday this week to discuss Afghanistan, focusing on issues of peace, security, and climate change in the country.

The UN Security Council stated: “There will be a meeting of the Informal Expert Group on Climate Change, Peace and Security (IEG) focusing on Afghanistan on Thursday (27 February).”

“Any meeting about Afghanistan, especially regarding climate change, peace, and security, is beneficial in my view. I only wish that Afghan representatives were also present to provide a detailed report on how Afghans have no role in climate change,” Salim Paigir, a political analyst, told TOLOnews.

This meeting comes as the UN Security Council is also planning a formal session soon to discuss Afghanistan’s situation and the mandate of UNAMA in the country.

“If the Security Council makes a unanimous decision, it will naturally be impactful. However, if it only issues a statement, it will not have much effect,” Fazl Rahman Oria, another political analyst, told TOLOnews.

The UN Security Council has announced that UNAMA’s mission in Afghanistan is set to end on March 17 this year.
