The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Sergey Lavrov, said that Moscow, along with the rest of the members of the UN, will not recognize the Taliban until human rights, especially women's rights, are respected and an inclusive government is formed.

Sergey Lavrov asked the Islamic Emirate to fulfill their commitments to the international community.

“We, as the rest of the members of the UN, do not officially recognize Taliban as they have taken upon themselves obligations on several matters, such as respect for human rights, first and foremost those of women and girls, and also creating an inclusive government in terms of ethnic background, there are Uzbeks, Tajiks, Pashtuns and Hazaras but politically they are all Taliban, we are not talking about the ethnic composition, we would like to have ethnic, religious and political inclusivity,” he added. 

Although the Islamic Emirate has not reacted to the Russian foreign minister’s remarks, earlier, the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate had said that the acting government is inclusive and asked the countries to not interfere in Afghanistan’s internal affairs. 
  
On the other hand, some political analysts said that the Islamic Emirate, for the satisfaction of the people, should respect their basic rights and for recognition, should also accept the world’s requests.

“Legally there is no excuse for the world to give recognition, but from a political view, based on international laws, there is a series of criteria that should be focused on,” said Sayed Muqadam Amin, a political analyst.

“Recognition of the government at the international level requires the observing of a series of international laws and covenants, for which all the countries are obliged to comply with,” said Najib Rahman Shamal, another political analyst

This comes as, the Deputy PM for political affairs, Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, has recently said that the Islamic Emirate by its balanced and economy-centered policy seeks positive interaction with the neighboring, regional, and world countries and the activity of embassies of the Islamic Emirate in some countries and presence of some countries’ embassies in Kabul indicate recognition of the Islamic Emirate.
