“In conclusion, I express Mexico’s support for the work carried out by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan and Special Representative Lyons in this complex situation. Their efforts are vital to promoting stability in Afghanistan for the benefit of the Afghan people and the region as a whole. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of Afghanistan.”

“Afghanistan must not again become fertile ground for terrorism. We echo the point made by Ms. Karim about the focus on inclusion. A stable and peaceful Afghanistan will be built insofar as the plurality and diversity of Afghan voices have a space and representation in the political, economic and social fields. We cannot go back to an Afghanistan that does not have the full, effective and meaningful participation of women, young people and ethnic, linguistic and religious minorities. In that regard, resolution 2596 (2021) is unequivocal, as it highlights the importance of establishing an inclusive and representative Government, with the full, equal and meaningful participation of women. We stress the importance of that.”

“Likewise, it is necessary to ensure that the humanitarian response plan be adequately funded. We note with concern the reports of human rights violations, including threats to women human rights defenders, arrests, forced disappearances and murders. Respect for the human rights of all Afghans must be without distinction. Likewise, the right to education for girls and to paid work for women must be safeguarded. We unequivocally condemn the targeted attacks against civilians, in particular the terrorist attacks that have taken place in recent weeks. Terrorism continues to be one of the main threats to peace and security in Afghanistan and the region. The Council must be vigilant regarding patterns and trends throughout the area in order to more effectively deal with that scourge.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Mexico. I thank Special Representative Lyons and Ms. Karim for their valuable contributions at this meeting. I would like to focus on four points. First, as has already been said, the onset of winter represents a huge challenge for the delivery of humanitarian assistance, on which 18.5 million civilians depend. In line with resolution 2596 (2021), we highlight the importance of redoubling efforts to provide that assistance. Unrestricted, safe and unimpeded access to all humanitarian actors must be guaranteed, in accordance with international humanitarian law. To that end, we emphasize that the full participation of women is essential. The gender approach in developing such programmes and in their implementation is crucial.”
