According to the report, the most concerned by the outside world is that the General Assembly will decide on the membership of its Credentials Committee. This committee of nine countries is responsible for deciding which political entities the United Nations will recognize as legal representatives to the United Nations. The outside world will be concerned about how it will deal with the Taliban’s representative to the United Nations after the Taliban takes over.

The report pointed out that the committee will not immediately deal with the issue of Afghanistan’s representation, but the outside world expects that the composition of this committee will affect future decisions on related issues and at the same time affect the international status of the Taliban.

At present, no country has officially recognized the Taliban regime as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.

Another highlight is that Biden will address the United Nations General Assembly for the first time as President of the United States on September 21.

The relationship between the United States and the United Nations and its various departments has continued to deteriorate during the former President Trump’s administration. During Trump’s tenure, the United States even initiated the procedures for the United States to withdraw from the World Health Organization. After Biden took office, Trump immediately cancelled Trump’s plan.

Analysts will pay attention to how Biden will restructure his relationship with the United Nations during his speech. Alanna O’Malley, a scholar at Leiden University in the Netherlands, believes that rebuilding this relationship involves more than just making some promises. “This is because the United States has lost many strategic partners and alliances, and it has also lost a lot of political goodwill.”
