As long as restrictions against women’s rights remain in place in Afghanistan, it will be “nearly impossible” for the international community to recognize the Taliban government, the U.N.’s envoy to the country said Wednesday.
“The Taliban ask to be recognized by the United Nations and its members, but at the same time they act against the key values expressed in the United Nations Charter,” she said.
They ask to be recognized by the United Nations? What does Allah say about the United Nations?
As long as restrictions against women’s rights remain in place in Afghanistan, it will be “nearly impossible” for the international community to recognize the Taliban government, the U.N.’s envoy to the country said Wednesday.
“In my regular discussions with the de facto authorities, I am blunt about the obstacles they have created for themselves by the decrees and restrictions they have enacted, in particular against women and girls,” Roza Otunbayeva, head of the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, told the Security Council.
“The Taliban ask to be recognized by the United Nations and its members, but at the same time they act against the key values expressed in the United Nations Charter,” she said.“We have conveyed to them that as long as these decrees are in place it is nearly impossible that their government will be recognized by members of the international community,” Otunbayeva added.
Afghanistan’s Taliban government is not officially recognized by any foreign country or international organization. Under their austere interpretation of Islam, Taliban authorities have imposed a slew of restrictions on Afghan women since seizing power in 2021, including banning them from higher education and many government jobs.
