The United Nations Security Council on Monday urged the Taliban to keep its promise of allowing people to leave Afghanistan after the United States retracted its forces, according to US media reports. 

However, with China and Russia in the mix of the Permanent 5 members of the United Nations principle organ, a divided signal was sent off. The two countries did not back the resolution led by other crucial members of the committee saying that it would divert the blame of the chaos from the United States.

The resolution, which gained enough votes to pass in the United Nations Security Council on Monday, was sponsored by United States, France and the United Kingdom. It also called for upholding human rights and combatting terrorism in Afghanistan, which is now controlled by the Taliban.

“The eyes of all Afghans are watching this council, and they expect clear support from the international community. And this lack of unity is a disappointment for us and for them,” French Deputy Ambassador Nathalie Broadhurst said after the vote, in which Russia and China abstained, according to reports from Associated Press.

The United Nations Security Council was in session as the last plane of the United States took from Aghanistan carrying the final troops stationed in the country. However, the resolution passed after the news of the United States officially leaving the country came out. 

The withdrawal marked the ending of America’s longest war, and four days after a suicide bombing at the Kabul airport gate killed at least 169 Afghans and 13 US service members. The bombing has been blamed on an Islamic State group affiliate, according to reports from the Associated Press.

United Nations diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations, said the resolution involved some compromises but made key points about permitting aid and travel, according to Associated Press.
