Pakistan to chair UNSC Sanctions Committee enforcing travel ban, asset freeze on Taliban-linked entities

  • Pakistan will chair the United Nations Security Council’s Taliban Sanctions Committee enforcing travel bans and asset freezes in 2025.
  • This appointment follows Pakistan’s election as a non-permanent UNSC member for 2025-26 and reflects recognition of its counter-terrorism role amid ongoing regional tensions.
  • Pakistan is set to hold the position of vice-chair on the Security Council’s Counter-Terrorism Committee and will co-lead two informal working groups focused on documentation and sanctions.
  • The Taliban Sanctions Committee imposes measures such as an arms embargo and asset freezes on individuals and entities linked to the Taliban, who threaten Afghanistan’s stability.
  • While Pakistan’s leadership roles in sanctions committees highlight its UN engagement, critics, especially India, question Pakistan’s counter-terrorism credentials given historic allegations of harboring terrorists.
