The Security Council recognised the urgency of the situation in Afghanistan, particularly in Kabul, and supported efforts to combat terrorism according to resolutions 1368 (2001) and 1373 (2001). It condemned the Taliban for allowing Afghanistan to be used as a base and safe haven for Al-Qaeda, other groups and Osama bin Laden and violations of international law. [2] The preamble of the resolution welcomed the declaration by the Six plus Two group and the intention of convening a meeting involving all Afghan processes. [3]

The resolution supported the efforts of the Afghan people to establish a new and transitional administration leading to the formation of a government that would be fully representative, respect human rights and its international obligations and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance. [4] It called on the Afghan forces to refrain from reprisals and respect human rights and international humanitarian law. [5]

The Council affirmed a central role for the United Nations in Afghanistan to establish the transitional administration. [6] It called on Member States to provide support towards the establishment of the transitional administration and government, humanitarian assistance and long-term assistance with regard to social and economic reconstruction and the rehabilitation of the country. Finally, Member States were urged to ensure the security of areas of Afghanistan no longer under Taliban control, particularly Kabul, and protect civilians, transitional authorities and all international personnel.
