Hamdullah Fitrat, the Taliban's deputy spokesman, said that any decision on Afghanistan at UN Security Council meetings without the presence of the group's representative is "one-sided and inconclusive".
Earlier, the Security Council had once again called for a review of the Taliban's misogynistic policies.
He made the remarks in an interview with the Taliban-controlled National Radio and Television on Sunday, December 29, in response to a recent statement by the United Nations Security Council.
The United Nations Security Council announced on Friday, December 27, that its members reiterated their support for UNAMA in their meeting about 20 days ago. The statement said that the members of the Security Council are deeply concerned about the negative impact of the Taliban's actions towards women.
Members of the council called on the Taliban to repeal restrictive policies, especially on the rights of women and girls. According to the statement, women's and girls' access to education and their full participation in Afghanistan's development is vital to building trust between the international community and Afghanistan.
Currently, Afghanistan's seat at the United Nations is held by Nasir Ahmad Faiq, a diplomat of the former Afghan government.
The Taliban's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has nominated Suhail Shaheen as its representative to the United Nations, which has not been accepted.
