The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has unanimously passed this resolution to permit a carve-out in sanctions against the Taliban to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan.
This carve-out covers urgently needed humanitarian assistance and other activities that support basic human needs in Afghanistan.
The resolution (2615) mandates a review of the carve-out every six months.
It also requests that an Emergency Relief Coordinator brief the UNSC every six months on the delivery of assistance and any obstacles to implementation.
It also “calls on all parties” to respect human rights and observe international humanitarian law.
