Generalsekretær for FN, Ban KI-moon, har netop anbefalet, at FNs mandat i Afghanistan forlænges endnu et år.
NEW YORK, 15 March 2011 – The UN mission in Afghanistan will continue to support the transition process agreed between the Government and its international partners.
In his latest report to the Security Council on Afghanistan, Mr. Ban reiterates UN support for the so-called “Kabul Process” that spells out a transition to greater Afghan responsibility and ownership, in both security and civilian areas.
“Our approach to the Kabul process and transition is based on three key principles; transition must be Afghan-owned; it must be planned and implemented in a sustainable manner; and it must ensure the protection and promotion of the rights of all Afghans,” the Secretary-General writes in his report.
He says that focus will be on those locations where there are needs and where security and access conditions will allow the UN to maximize its efforts and reinforce its presence.
The UN will also continue to pursue a “One United Nations” approach and strengthen the coherence of its efforts in Afghanistan, he adds.
