Special representative of the UN General Secretary and UN Assistance Mission (UNAMA) Chief Rosa Otunbeva said on Monday at the Security Council that the ongoing missile attack between Israel and Iran was already having a serious impact.
He revisited the UN general secretary’s immediate call to reduce tensions in the Middle East, saying, “The conflict is already impacting Afghanistan, disrupting business and raising basic items and fuel prices and the Digar living in Iran is encouraging Afghan people to return.”

Rosa Otunbaeva said that about 6 lakh Afghan people from Pakistan and Iran have returned to Pakistan this year, and UN agencies are preparing to operate border-park traffic from Iran considering “worrying development” in the region.
He said, “On average, more than 3,000 people have returned to Afghanistan on average in the last few days, only from Iran.”
Local communities and real rulers of the country – Taliban officials have made a lot of efforts to adjust the return of the people, but without international assistance, there are many obstacles to ensure safe, systematic and peaceful return to these people. “
Concern about contact with the Taliban
Rosa Otunbeva informed the Security Council about UN contact with the Taliban leaders. It is noteworthy that Talban returned to power almost four years ago.
The purpose of this “Broad View” is to create an Afghanistan that is peaceful with itself and its neighbors, fully integrated with the international community, fulfill its international obligations and goes through any other violence cycle.
He emphasized that the UN effort was not an attempt to normalize the stability, but confirmed that many big issues of concern were, especially in the country’s main part of the country to maintain international obligations. “
Women and girls continue to violate the rights
He said that the international community is “extremely concerned with the fact that UN communication could not improve the situation of Afghan women and girls which were preached by unacceptable or inclusive administration. At the same time, the widespread reduction of human rights did not stop.”
Meanwhile, Taliban officials have complained about the conflict of the country, restrictions in the country, not recognizing their rules, the completion of the need for further development assistance and the end of support.
Some stability but also limited policies
Rosa Otunbaya said that the Taliban rules have provided some stability and protection to Afghanistan, promoting little economic growth and foreign investment, launching passive infrastructure projects, and especially closely in the region.
However, the Talban officer has continued to implement the most limited and discriminatory policies on the Afghan people “,” the law of promotion of virtue and the law of evil resistance. “This Act was implemented in August 2024.
This law has “strengthened” the Taliban’s systematic, government -sponsored policies, which deprives women and girls to participate in public life, including freedom of traffic, freedom of traffic and expression.
“Through this law, the Taliban officials continue in a way that removes Afghanistan from its international obligation and eventually disrupts the country’s re -integration in the international system.”
“We may not forget the unacceptable position of Afghan women and girls, though women and girls are constantly marginalized due to further orders, but no longer the headline.”
She called for the removal of sanctions on women and girls and giving them the right to education.
One out of five people is hungry
Joyce Masia, Assistant General Secretary of the United Nations, attracted attention to the meeting of the Masia Protection Council on how to overcome money, affecting Afghanistan, where half the population needs assistance to survive.
He said that the population of Afghanistan was facing continuous and intense human needs due to the struggle and conflict of decades, deep poverty, constant strict climate, serious restrictions on women and girls’ rights and the availability of extremely limited money, continuous and intense human needs. “
