  1. “There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers. I shall now adjourn the meeting so that the Council can continue its discussion in closed consultations. The meeting rose at 1.05 p.m.”

  2. “I wish to again remind all speakers to limit their statements to no more than five minutes in order for the Council to carry out its work expeditiously. I now give the floor to the representative of Afghanistan.”

  3. “We must work together, leaving no stone unturned, to tackle the profound and complex crisis that Afghanistan and its people are facing. There can be no sustainable peace, security or development without respect for human rights, including the rights of women and girls. The renewed mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan must reflect those fundamental priorities. We count on the support of the Council. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I call on the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Gabon.”

  4. “We must not forget, however, that the primary responsibility for responding to the current acute crisis lies with the de facto authorities. The Taliban must listen to the appeals of the Afghan people and the international community to respect human rights and establish a more inclusive and just Government. So far, little progress has been made in addressing those fundamental concerns. That has to change. Finally, let me also take the opportunity to reiterate the importance of combating terrorism, a priority that we all share. Norway remains committed to fighting terrorism worldwide, including in and from Afghanistan. But I would like to emphasize that it is the responsibility of the Taliban to prevent terrorist groups from gaining a foothold in Afghanistan and once again threatening international peace and security.”

  5. “We are gravely concerned about the persistent reports of women peace builders and human rights defenders facing grave risk and reprisals for raising their voices. Tamana Zaryabi Paryani and Parawana Ibrahimkhel — two among the many who have faced that risk — must be released. The members of the Taliban must abide by the commitments that they have made, and we have to hold them accountable. Humanitarian assistance, while crucial, will not be sufficient in the long-run. Afghanistan’s need for development assistance did not decrease during the past six months — on the contrary. Norway will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan, through United Nations organizations and the appropriate humanitarian non-governmental organizations. We will support activities to meet basic human needs and safeguard human rights.”

  6. “It is essential that the Council provide the United Nations political mission with a comprehensive and robust mandate to engage the Taliban, monitor and report on the human rights situation and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance and support for basic human needs. In that context, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the United Nations on the launching of the One-UN Transitional Engagement Framework for Afghanistan today. It is extremely important. The protection of civilians, including children, must be our first priority. It is also critical to safeguard the rights and equal participation of women, and Ms. Seraj made such a contribution in her powerful explanation. That was also clearly communicated by all delegations at the meeting with Taliban at the Oslo meeting.”

  7. “We are witnessing the disruption of civilian infrastructure and basic services, including in the areas of health and education. The situation is disproportionately affecting women and girls. We therefore welcome the unanimous adoption of resolution 2615 (2021) on 22 December 2021. The resolution clearly states that humanitarian assistance can be provided without violating the United Nations sanctions regime. We must now make best use of the humanitarian exemption provided for by the resolution. (spoke in English) Multilateral cooperation is vital to respond to the crisis in Afghanistan.”

  8. “We need new agreements and commitments in place to be able to assist and help an extremely vulnerable civilian population and the most vulnerable among them — the children, who are facing hunger and suffering. We must do what we can to avoid another migration crisis and source of instability in the region and beyond, and we need to express clearly that it will not be possible to re-establish a sustainable political system in Afghanistan unless Afghan men and women from a variety of backgrounds are included. I commend all delegations that were at the Oslo meeting for having contributed to three days of meaningful dialogue and exchange. (spoke in French) The humanitarian crisis facing the Afghan people is dire. It has been exacerbated by the effects of climate change, the global pandemic and the collapse of the Afghan economy.”

  9. “It offered an opportunity for Norway and a range of national delegations to engage the Taliban representatives on how the needs — political, human rights and humanitarian — of millions of Afghans will be met in the time to come. Let me be clear — the Taliban heard the serious concerns shared by a variety of representative civil Afghans, as well as a united international community. The visit did not bestow international recognition on the de facto regime. It provided an opportunity to talk, exchange and formulate clear expectations on the way ahead. Such dialogue at this very moment is imperative. The dire humanitarian situation in Afghanistan makes dialogue even more important.”

  10. “I thank Ms. Seraj for her briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Prime Minister of Norway. I would like to thank the Secretary-General, Special Representative Lyons and the Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1988 (2011) for their introductions. I also extend our heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Mahbouba Seraj for her powerful and compelling statement. During the past few days, a high-level delegation from the de facto Afghan authorities visited Oslo. It was not a bilateral visit in the traditional sense. The purpose was to offer a most-needed opportunity for non-Taliban women and men from Afghan civil society to engage the Taliban in dialogue on the way forward for Afghanistan.”

  11. “Everyone is also encouraged to wear a mask at all times, including while delivering remarks. I wish to warmly welcome the Secretary-General, His Excellency Mr. António Guterres, to whom I now give the floor.”

  12. “At this meeting, the Security Council will hear remarks by the Secretary-General, as well as briefings by Special Representative Lyons, Ambassador Tirumurti, Permanent Representative of India, in his capacity as Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1988 (2011), and Ms. Seraj. Before we begin with our speakers list today — recalling the Security Council’s latest note by the President (S/2017/507) on its working methods — I wish to encourage all speakers, both members and non-members of the Council, to deliver their statements in five minutes or less. Note 507 also encourages briefers to be succinct and focus on key issues. In that spirit, briefers are further encouraged to limit their initial remarks to seven to 10 minutes.”

  13. “In accordance with rule 37 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite the representatives of Afghanistan, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Pakistan and Uzbekistan to participate in this meeting. In accordance with rule 39 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite the following briefers to participate in this meeting: Ms. Deborah Lyons, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan; and Ms. Mahbouba Seraj, Afghan women human rights defender and Executive Director of the Afghan Women Skills Development Centre. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda.”
