RASC News Agency: The Global Center for the Responsibility to Protect, in a letter sent to the 54th meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Gino, has called for more investigation into human rights violations by the Taliban group.
According to the statements of this organization, human rights have been widely and systematically violated by the officials of the Taliban group throughout Afghanistan.
In its letter sent to the United Nations Human Rights Council on Tuesday, August 29, this organization mentioned the extra-legal killings, arbitrary arrests, torture and mistreatment of officials and soldiers of the previous government, media workers and human rights defenders.
Based on the statement of this institution, the Taliban group has intensified the severe forms of gender discrimination against women and girls by implementing restrictive policies and measures since their domination of Afghanistan.
“These restrictions are a clear violation of their [Taliban] obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW),” the letter said.
This organization asked the United Nations Human Rights Council to allocate more resources for monitoring, comprehensive follow-up of human rights violations and gathering evidence about them, and the perpetrators should be held accountable.
The Global Center for the Responsibility to Protect has also pointed to the casualties of attacks by the ISIS group in Afghanistan and said that the victims of these attacks were mainly religious minorities, especially the Hazaras.
The 54th meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council is scheduled to be held from September 11 to October 6 this year.
It should be noted that the Taliban group has been accused by human rights organizations of violating human rights in Afghanistan. But this group has always denied these claims.
