The Security Council resolution permits payment of funds and other financial assets or economic resources, and the provision of goods and services necessary to ensure the timely delivery of such assistance or to support such activities.
Such assistance supports basic human needs in Afghanistan and is not a violation of sanctions imposed on entities linked to the Taliban.
