New York (IINA) – The UN Security Council strongly condemned Sunday's terrorist attack on the Afghan parliament building in Kabul for which the Taliban has claimed responsibility.
The council deplored the civilian casualties which resulted from the attack and expressed deep sympathy and conveyed condolences to the families of the victims as well as to the government and people of Afghanistan. It wished the injured a speedy recovery.
The members of the Security Council condemned the blatant disrespect to democracy and rule of law that such an attack against the elected representatives of the people of Afghanistan constitutes.
The council commended the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces for their effective action, and reiterated its call to all parties in the conflict to refrain from attacking civilians and to abide by international law.
It also reiterated that no violent or terrorist acts can reverse the path towards Afghan-led peace, democracy and stability in the country, which is supported by the people and the government of Afghanistan and by the international community.
