Kabul Rejects Intl Community Criticism Over Women's Rights

The Islamic Emirate rejects global institutions' criticism of the human rights situation in the country. 

Following the recent remarks of the United Nations Human Rights Council's Special Rapporteur for Afghanistan on human rights abuses in the country, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate accuses this organization of violating human rights in Afghanistan.

"They use the issue of human rights as a tool for their political goals and want to achieve their political objectives through this issue, which they will not reach, and their condition is also unjustified," said Zabiullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate.

Recently, the UN Human Rights Council's Special Rapporteur for Afghanistan, in a video message, has called for those responsible for human rights violations in Afghanistan to be held accountable. 

According to Richard Bennett, normalizing relations with the Taliban should be conditional on significant human rights progress.

"My latest report on Afghanistan … the stark reality that under the Taliban, the human rights condition continues to deteriorate. This crisis should remain a spotlight, women and girls do not enjoy the right to education above grade sixth. They are being erased from public life, even mandatory clothing rules and regulations are leading to arbitrary arrest and detention,” said Richard Bennett.

"Promoting inclusive societies and nation-building in countries, including Afghanistan, through the promotion of women and girls' rights to education is very important. We must invest in human rights," said Retno Marsudi, the foreign minister of Indonesia.

Some university professors also have various viewpoints on this matter.

"In the society we live in, it's like a bird with two wings, one wing is our sisters. If we want to have a progressive society, we must give our sisters the right to education, the right to work, and the right to political participation," said Zakiullah Muhammadi, a university lecturer.

Since the Islamic Emirate's return to power in the country, the global community has consistently called for the immediate lifting of restrictions against women and girls in the country, but these global criticisms have also been rejected by the Islamic Emirate.
