United Nations: The permanent representative of Afghanistan's democratically elected government, Ghulam Isaczai, has been granted a temporary reprieve by the United Nations after the deadlocked credentials committee failed to act on the Islamic group's request to recognise its representation.
The committee that chooses who can represent a country at the United Nations did not act on the Myanmar military regime's demand to expel Kyaw Moe Tun, who was selected by Myanmar State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, and recognise its choice during its meeting on Wednesday.
The committee's chairman, Sweden's Permanent Representative Anna Karin Enestrom, told reporters following the closed-door meeting that the council had chosen "to defer its judgement on the credentials" of the two countries. She stated that there would be no further meetings and that the committee would submit its findings to the General Assembly.
The impasse keeps Isaczai and Kyaw in position, who have criticised usurper regimes that ousted democratic governments on the General Assembly floor. The United States, Russia, China, the Bahamas, Bhutan, Chile, Namibia, and Sierra Leone are the other members of the credentials committee.
The Pakistan-backed Taliban has named Mohammad Suhail Shaheen, its Qatar-based spokesperson, as its permanent representative, but he is now without a seat or a voice at the United Nations.
