Naseer Ahmad Faiq, Afghanistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, has called for concrete international action to ensure justice and accountability for the people of Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement posted on X on Wednesday, Faiq said he had emphasised the importance of justice for Afghanistan during a UN General Assembly meeting discussing the report of the International Criminal Court (ICC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He called for the enforcement of four arrest warrants issued against senior Taliban officials, stressing the need to protect victims, preserve evidence and prevent retaliation against those seeking justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faiq also warned that international engagement with the Taliban must not come at the cost of overlooking repression or allowing those responsible for abuses to escape accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He further stressed that Afghanistan needs an inclusive, Afghan-led political process supported by the United Nations, one that reflects the rights and aspirations of the Afghan people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Without justice, lasting peace in Afghanistan is impossible,” Faiq emphasised, adding that accountability without practical action has no credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His remarks come amid continuing concerns over human rights violations and the lack of accountability in Afghanistan, particularly regarding restrictions on women and girls and other fundamental freedoms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
