Abstract
In October 1999, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1267. The resolution called for a limit on flights to and from Afghanistan and the freezing of assets of those with connections to the Taliban regime which was ruling Afghanistan at the time. The resolution was in response to a number of incidents, including the 1998 bombing of the New York World Trade Center, the kidnapping of an Iranian diplomat in Kabul, and the presence of Osama bin Laden and the al Qaeda network in Afghanistan. In operative Clause 6, the resolution created a committee of the whole to ensure that all states were conforming to its demands and to monitor those individuals who violated the resolution. This resolution was relatively uncontroversial at the time, as it had the support of most of the international community which by now had come to see the Taliban as problem not just internally to Afghanistan but as a threat to international peace and security.
