UNSC calls for justice following terrorist attack on Mosque in Afghanistan’s Kunduz

UNited Nations, Oct 10 (UNI/Sputnik) The UN Security Council (UNSC) has condemned this week’s deadly attack on a Shia mosque in Afghanistan's northern Kunduz province that took the lives of dozens of people.
"The members of the Security Council reaffirmed that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security," the UNSC said on Saturday, adding that its members "underlined the need to hold perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of these reprehensible acts of terrorism accountable and bring them to justice."
Earlier on Saturday, the European Union External Action Service (EEAS) stressed that the terrorist group Islamic State-Khorasan (ISIS-K, banned in Russia), which took full responsibility for the attack, should be brought to justice and noted that the human rights of all Afghan citizens, including the right to life and the rights of ethnic and religious minorities, must be respected and most importantly protected.
