The UN Security Council, under India's Presidency, adopted a strong resolution demanding that territory of Afghanistan not be used to threaten any country or shelter terrorists. The council added that it expects the Taliban to adhere to commitments made by it regarding the safe and orderly departure of Afghans and all foreign nationals from the country .
The Security Council on Monday adopted the resolution sponsored by France, UK and the US with 13 members voting in favour and permanent, veto-wielding members Russia and China abstaining.
This was the first resolution adopted by the powerful 15-nation Council on the situation in Afghanistan following the takeover of Kabul by the Taliban and came on the penultimate day of India's Presidency of the Security Council for the month of August.
