The UN Human Rights Council issued a resolution on Friday condemning violations of rights to women and girls in Afghanistan, urged the ruling Taliban to end the practices of restrictions described to make them “invisible” in society.
The Taliban seized power for the second time in Afghanistan last August when international forces supporting the pro-West government were pulled out.
The critics said that women’s rights have been damaged by new sidewalks on their clothing, movements and education, even though the Taliban vowed previously on the contrary.
Since August 2021, the human rights situation in Afghanistan has worsened seriously, especially for women and girls,” said Ambassador Czech Václav Bálek on behalf of the European Union, who brought the resolution.The steps of restrictions taken by the Taliban make (they) are not visible in the Afghan society”.
The council’s decision is not legally binding but brings political weight and can lead to an official investigation.
Friday resolution, supported by a dozen of the country, was passed without sound, even though China’s mission escaped the results, describing it as “unbalanced”. This is one of the 11 resolution designs that are being considered on Friday.Among his supporters were Afghan Moibullah Taib’s envoys, which were appointed by the Afghan Government before, which said the new sidewalk was the same as “gender apartheid”.
In rare cases, government envoys can no longer be in power can continue to discuss the United Nations agencies until the credential committee in New York decides the opposite.
The US Ambassador to the council, Michèle Taylor, also voiced concerns over new steps, mentions a new policy to punish male family members who did not uphold restrictions that created the continuous fear” environment.
The resolution predicted the debate in September or October at the next council session, where the activist of Afghan Women’s Rights would have the opportunity to participate.
Marc Limon from the Universal Think-Tank rights group said the Taliban could not change the direction as a result of the criticism but suggested that the United Nations could use if they bind women’s rights with international assistance in the future.
