Afghan President Hamid Karzai is seeking removal of up to 50 Taliban commanders from a UN terror blacklist in a gesture intended to advance a political reconciliation in his country.
Though the government had for years sought to delist former Taliban fighters but now the diplomatic outreach at the UN has taken on renewed urgency as Karzai has begun to press for a political settlement at the earliest, the Washington Post reported.
The US, the paper said, was assisting Karzai in the process and had sent Richard C Holbrooke, US Special Envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, last week to meet UN officials to press them to move forward on the delisting process.
The new campaign to strike off as many as 50 out of 137 Taliban commanders from the list, which imposes a travel ban and other restrictions comes as Afghan government officials are citing that these figures have cut their ties to the Taliban
