Taliban officials will no longer be exempt from travel bans, according to the United Nations.

In the absence of a deal by Security Council members on a potential extension, the UN is scheduled to end the exemptions from the travel ban for 13 Taliban officials on Friday, diplomats told AFP.

135 Taliban officials are subject to sanctions under a 2011 UN Security Council resolution, which includes asset freezes and travel restrictions.

However, 13 of them received waivers from the travel ban so they could meet with representatives from other nations abroad.

Due to the Taliban regime's restrictions on women's rights, the Afghanistan Sanctions Committee of the 15-member UN Security Council removed two Taliban ministers of education off the exemption list in June.

They also extended the others' exemptions until August 19 and for an additional month if no member objected.

This week, Ireland opposed, diplomatic sources claim.

While the United States has requested a smaller list of the officials who are permitted to travel and a restriction on the places they can go, China and Russia have called for an extension.

According to diplomatic sources who spoke to AFP, the most recent proposal on the table would only permit six diplomats to travel for official purposes.

It will go into effect for three months if there are no objections by Monday afternoon from any members of the Council.

The 13 officials' exemptions are set to expire at midnight on Friday in the meantime.

Abdul Ghani Baradar, the deputy prime minister, and Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanekzai, the deputy minister of foreign affairs, are two of the 13.
