The U.N. Security Council on Thursday unanimously condemned a Taliban administration ban on Afghan women working for the United Nations in Afghanistan and called on Taliban leaders to "swiftly reverse" a crackdown on the rights of women and girls. The resolution - drafted by the UAE and Japan - describes the ban as "unprecedented in UN’s history, and asserts the indispensable role of women in Afghan society. The vote came days before a planned international meeting in Doha by the UN on Afghanistan. Taliban officials have said decisions on female aid workers are an "internal issue." The UN resolution also recognizes the need to address substantial challenges facing Afghanistan's economy, including through using assets belonging to Afghan Central Bank for the benefit of the Afghan people. The central bank assets remain frozen due to foreign sanctions.
