In a special meeting of the UN Security Council on Monday Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for global solidarity with Afghanistan.

“At this grave hour, I urge all parties, especially the Taliban, to exercise utmost restraint to protect lives and to ensure humanitarian needs can be met,” The secretary-general stated.

He added, “the international community must unite to make sure Afghanistan is never again used as a platform or safe haven for terrorist organisations. I appeal to the security council and the international community as a whole to stand together, to work together and to act together and to use all tools at its disposal to suppress the global threat in Afghanistan.”

SOT: Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary General: “The world is following the events in Afghanistan with a heavy heart and (inaudible) of what lies ahead. All of us have seen the images in real time, chaos, unrest, uncertainty and fear. Much lies in the balance, the progress, the hope, the dreams of a generation of young Afghan women and girls boys and men. At this grave hour, I urge all parties, especially the Taliban, to exercise utmost restraint to protect lives and to ensure humanitarian needs can be met.”

SOT: Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary General: “We are receiving chilling reports of severe restrictions on human rights throughout the country and I am particularly concerned by accounts of mounting human rights violations against the women and girls of Afghanistan who fear a return to the darkest days. It is essential that the hard-won rights of Afghan girls are protected. They are looking to the international community for support, the same international community that assured them that opportunities would be expanded, education would be guaranteed, freedoms would be spread and rights would be secured. “

SOT: Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary General: “The international community must unite to make sure Afghanistan is never again used as a platform or safe haven for terrorist organisations. I appeal to the security council and the international community as a whole to stand together, to work together and to act together and to use all tools at its disposal to suppress the global terrorist threat in Afghanistan and to guarantee basic human rights will be respected. “

SOT: Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary General: “The United Nation presence will adapt to the security situation but above all, we will stay and deliver in support of the Afghan people in their hour of need. Looking ahead I call for an immediate end to violence, for the rights of all Afghans to be respected and for Afghanistan to comply with all international agreements of which it is a party.”

SOT: Linda Thomas-Greenfield, US Ambassador to UN: “President Biden has made clear that any action that put US personnel or our mission at risk will be met with a swift and strong military response. The United States promises to be generous in resettling Afghans in our own country and I am heartened by the pledges we have seen from other nations to do the same. We need to all do more and the time to step up is now. “
