A decision on whether the Afghan Taliban administration and the Myanmar junta can send a U.N. ambassador to New York has been postponed for a second time, but could be reconsidered in the next nine months, according to a U.N. credentials committee report
The 193-member U.N. General Assembly is on Friday due to approve the report, which also deferred a decision on rival claims to Libya's U.N. seat. The nine-member U.N. credentials committee includes Russia, China and the United States.
Competing claims were again made for the seats of Myanmar and Afghanistan with the Taliban administration and Myanmar's junta pitted against envoys of the governments they ousted last year. U.N. acceptance of the Taliban administration or Myanmar's junta would be a step toward the international recognition sought by both.
A rival claim was also made this year for Libya's U.N. seat - currently held by the Government of National Unity in Tripoli - by a "Government of National Stability" led by Fathi Bashagha and backed by a parliament in the country's east.
