It doesn't matter what the Afghan parliament thinks . Under international law and the international legal regime, Afghanistan’s objections to the Durand Line are unlikely to find any significant support.
If Afghanistan and Pakistan agree to take the Durand Line dispute to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), it would be impossible that the Afghan stand that the legitimacy of the Durand Line lapsed after the succession of Pakistan could be proved at any level.
At the international level, issues pertaining to succession of states are dealt with by the “Vienna Convention on Succession of States in Respect of Treaties (VCSSRT).” Article 11 of VCSSRT explicitly states that succession of states cannot impact (a) international border agreed upon in result of an agreement, and (b) rights and obligations concerning international border created through an agreement. Thus, under this agreement, the cessation of British India and birth of Pakistan as its successor in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent does not affect the legality of the border.
Pakistan does fall under the this ratification , it was and is one of the successor of the british raj. VCSSRT was ratified by a huge number of states and Pakistan was one of them.So your claim of Pakistan not being a successor to the British Raj has no proof or precedent.
There is virtually no support for the Afghan claim at all.
After the occupation in 1947, India automatically become the United Nations member (She did not apply for a UN membership), while Pakistan needed to apply, and Afghanistan cast a negative vote followed by Parliament nullification in 1949 of all treaties signed between Afghanistan and the British India. Pakistan was created as a new country on 14th of August 1947.
By the way Islamic Republic of Afghanistan become member of UN in 1946 even before the creation of Pakistan by the British.
