Referring to the latest report of UNAMA, the US State Department said that the implementation of the Taliban’s moral imperatives has a negative impact on the human rights situation in Afghanistan.
U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said at a press briefing on Tuesday that the United States is closely monitoring the Taliban’s treatment of Afghans, especially women and girls.
“We expect the Taliban to live up to their commitments to Afghans and the international community in this regard. As we have told Taliban representatives in general and private meetings, their relationship with the international community is their responsibility. It depends on action.”
Miller refuted the question of US financial support to the Taliban and said that the United States does not provide financial assistance to the Taliban.
A report released by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) on Tuesday (July 9) stated that the Taliban issued more than 1,000 decrees by force from the beginning of its rule to March 2024, most of which have been implemented by the Taliban’s Amr-e-Maluf and Nahi-in-ul-Munkar departments.
According to UNAMA, the implementation of these orders violated human rights, particularly the rights of women.
But Taliban government spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid denied the report, writing on his website that Sharia rights are guaranteed to all people in Afghanistan and both men and women are treated according to Sharia law.
But some Afghan women complain about the Taliban government’s actions.
Fahmia Denmark, a resident of Maidan Wardag, spoke to Radio Azadi about her experiences during the Taliban rule.
“One day I took my daughters to the park and one of them, still a little child, was wearing a short skirt. The Taliban’s Order of Merit came and told me to stop wearing it. I was very interested in her because she was a little child and Islam was not that harsh. They wanted to make life more difficult for people.”
Another woman from Ghazni province, who wished to remain anonymous, told Radio Azadi:
“While the world has progressed and Afghanistan has progressed, the Taliban are still figuring out how to make people’s lives worse through the color of their clothing.”
Human rights activist Sajiya Bhagam told Azadi Radio:
“Afghanistan is also a member of the United Nations, but this organization has not yet provided any appropriate and effective solutions to Afghanistan’s problems. Human rights, especially women’s rights, were important issues when the international community was here, but when they left Afghanistan, they did not think about the terrible situation of Afghans.”
In this context, the Taliban has faced criticism from the international community and human rights bodies for its orders restricting women’s work, education and social activities.
