The United Nations office in Kabul said that Afghans deserve freedom, equality, and dignity. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) added that Afghanistan has signed the Declaration of Human Rights and must respect it.
UNAMA urged the Taliban to respect human rights on the eve of the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. UNAMA has published the first article of the Declaration of Human Rights, which states, "I am born free and equal, and all human beings should be treated in the same way.”
This comes even as the Taliban has been accused of massive violations of human rights in Afghanistan.
International organisations have expressed concern about the situation of human rights and asked the Taliban to respect the human rights of Afghan citizens, especially women and girls.
However, the Taliban not only have not responded to these demands, but also increased the restrictions on women and girls.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted on December 10, 1948, at the extraordinary session of the United Nations General Assembly in Paris.
