Afghanistan will Not be able to address the United Nations General Assembly, in the wake of a Credentials Dispute between the Taliban and the Country's current Representative.
Ghulam M. Isaczai, is the current Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to the United Nations. Isaczai is the Appointee of the Country's former Democratic Government.
His Staff informed the UN that he would No longer be Speaking at last week Session, according to UN Secretary-General Spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric. "This does not change the fact that the representative of Afghanistan remains the same," Dujarric said.
A battle over Credentials began last week, when the Taliban, sent the UN a Request to Replace Isaczai with their own Representative.
According to the Taliban's Letter, Isaczai No longer represents Afghanistan. Instead, it named Mohammad Suhail Shaheen, as the Islamist Militant Group's Nominee for Permanent Representation in New York.
The Letter also noted that former President Mohammed Ashraf Ghani has been "ousted and [countries across the world] no longer recognize him as president," according a Statement from Dujarric last week.
Since the Taliban took Control of Afghanistan, Isaczai has continued to Advocate for his Country, meeting with Foreign Envoys, and even calling on the UN Security Council to Pressure the Taliban into forming a more Democratic Government.
Last week, he also sent a Letter, to the UN Secretary-General, with a List of Delegates for last week's General Assembly and named Himself as the Head of the Delegation.
Both Bids for Recognition have been Submitted for consideration by the UN's Credentials Committee.
