The Islamic Emirate’s Spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, said that they are not obliged to adhere to the UN laws unless their government is recognized by the United Nations members.
This comes as November 19 is the 77th anniversary of Afghanistan’s joining the UN.
However, he stressed even if the Islamic Emirate is recognized, the issues which are against the Islamic rules will not be accepted.
“The Islamic Emirate has not yet been recognized. So we have no obligation towards it. Whenever we are recognized, we will accept all of the norms and laws which are not against Islamic Sharia,” Mujahid said.
He also stressed the need for the presence of an Islamic Emirate representative in the UN.
“We should have the membership as do many other countries. The rights of the people of Afghanistan in the UN should be given,” he said.
Meanwhile, the permanent representative of Afghanistan to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Nasir Ahmad Andisha, said that the UN plays an important role in Afghanistan.
“The only important mission in Afghanistan currently is the UN. However, the activity of this organization has been limited to provision of humanitarian assistance, but it has an important role as a major international organization,” he said.
“It is time for Afghanistan to use a logical policy and engage with the international community and become an important member of the UN,” said Sayed Jawad Sijadi, a political analyst.
Hossein Azizi, a minister, on behalf of Afghanistan, signed the convention of the UN in 1964 in the US.
