Around the time the last US soldier was exiting Kabul, the United Nations Security Council, under India’s presidency, adopted a resolution that gave de facto recognition to the Taliban as a state actor in Afghanistan. The resolution, sponsored by France, U K, and the US, was adopted with 13 members, including India, voting in favor, none against it. But permanent and veto-wielding members Russia and China abstained. The resolution, the first to be adopted after the Taliban’s capture of Kabul on August 15, said the territory of Afghanistan is not to be used to threaten any country or shelter terrorists, and that the international community expects the Taliban to adhere to the commitments they made regarding the safe and orderly departure of Afghans and all foreign nationals from the country. The UNSC resolution named the Taliban five times but did not condemn the grouping. Rather, it noted the Taliban’s commitments about the safe, secure, and orderly departure of Afghans and all foreign nationals from Afghanistan.
