 The United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Gutierrez has called a security council on Monday to use all tools at its disposal to suppress the global terrorist threat in Afghanistan. It's also to guarantee the basic human rights that will be respected. Afghanistan's U.N. Ambassador Gulam Izikzai told Security Council that there is no time for blame game anywhere. Speak with one voice to uphold human rights in Afghanistan. I call upon the Taliban and all parties to respect and protect international humanitarian law and the rights and freedoms of all persons. We are receiving chilling reports of severe restrictions on human rights throughout the country and I am particularly concerned by accounts of mounting human rights violations against the women and girls of Afghanistan who fear a return to the darkest days. The international community must unite to make sure that Afghanistan is never again used as a platform or safe haven for terrorist organizations. I appeal to the Security Council and the international community as a whole to stand together, to work together and act together and use all tools at its disposal to suppress the global terrorist threat in Afghanistan and to guarantee that basic human rights will be respected. There is no time for blame game anymore. We have an opportunity to prevent further violence, prevent Afghanistan descending into a civil war and becoming a pariah state. Therefore, the Security Council and the U.N. Secretary General should use every means at its disposal to call for an immediate succession of violence and respect for human rights and international humanitarian law. Today I want to reiterate, re-emphasize and reassert this call. Civilian populations, including journalists and non-combatants, must be protected. Attacks against civilians or civilian objects must stop and the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all Afghan citizens, especially women, girls and members of minority groups, must be respected. We also call on all parties to prevent terrorism and we must all ensure Afghanistan cannot ever, ever again be a base for terrorism.
