The UN Human Rights Council’s special rapporteur to Afghanistan, Richard Bennett, said that despite the Islamic Emirate’s claims about “progress made,” the country continues to face a human rights and humanitarian crisis.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) said that the Islamic Emirate had cooperated with Bennett and he should not take advantage of it.

Bennett briefed the UN General Assembly on Wednesday.

“My view is… that it is important to keep Afghanistan in the spotlight when there is competing news,” Bennett said.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) said that the Islamic Emirate had cooperated with Bennett and he should not take advantage of it.

“To investigate the human rights situation, all departments of the Islamic Emirate including the security departments, provided them with necessary cooperation, so morally, this positive motivation should not be misused,” said Zia Ahmad Takal, deputy spokesman for MoFA.

Political analysts gave various opinions in this regard.

“The world has always been political towards Afghanistan. If they want to solve the problems and challenges of the people of Afghanistan, they should put aside their regional and worldwide competition playing out in Afghan geography,” said Javid Sandel, a political analyst.

“We call on the current government to bring reforms in girls’ access to education, self-freedom … as well as all those issues with which the world has problems,” said Najibullah Jamay, a political analyst.

The UN special rapporteur for Afghanistan traveled to the country twice over the last seven months.
