UNITED NATIONS Members of the United Nations Security Council remain disunited over whether to exempt some of Afghanistan’s Taliban officers from a trip ban, politic sources said.

Under a 2011 Security Council resolution, 135 Taliban leaders are subject to a warrants governance that includes asset freezes and travel bans.
Thirteen of them served from an impunity from the trip ban, renewed regularly, to allow them to meet officers from other countries abroad.
But this impunity ended last Friday, after Ireland expostulated to its automatic renewal for another month.
In June, the warrants Committee in charge of Afghanistan, comprised of the Security Council’s 15 members, had formerly removed from the immunity list two Taliban ministers responsible for education, in retribution for the drastic reduction in the rights of women and girls that was assessed by the Taliban governance.
Several Western countries would like to further reduce the list, according to politic sources.
They punctuate the failure to admire the commitments to uphold mortal rights or fight terrorism that were made by the Taliban when they returned to power a time ago.
Beforehand this month the United States blazoned the payoff of Al- Qaeda leader Ayman al- Zawahiri in a drone strike on Kabul, calling into question the Taliban’s pledge not to harbour militant groups.
China and Russia, still, supported a regular extension of immunity list.
" These immunity are still just as necessary," the Chinese administration of the Security Council said last week, thinking it" ineffective" to link mortal rights to travel issues for Taliban officers.
Since last week, and again Monday, several concession proffers that would more or less shrink the list of officers concerned, or the number of authorized destinations, have been rejected on both sides, according to politic sources. Pending a possible decision, none of the Taliban officers on the warrants list can travel.
That was of particular concern to the Taliban’s foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, who has visited Qatar several times in recent months for politic conversations and who was among the 13 immunity.
In a statement posted Saturday on Twitter, a foreign ministry spokesperson called on the Security Council" not to use warrants as pressure tool" and said all warrants against Taliban officers should be lifted.
It'll produce distance rather of promoting dialogue & engagement, an outgrowth that must be averted," If the trip ban is extended.
