Taliban Should Respect Fundamental Rights Of Afghans, Says China
Jiang Han, China's representative, at the UN Human Rights Council meeting expressed hope that the Taliban would respect the fundamental and basic rights of Afghans, including women, children, and ethnic minorities.
Han called on the Taliban to make positive efforts to secure the interests of the Afghan people.
Without naming any countries, the Chinese representative at the meeting blamed some countries for the current poor humanitarian conditions in Afghanistan, stating that the long-term freezing of Afghan assets and the imposition of unilateral sanctions have caused many to suffer and have inflicted "serious damage" on the human rights of Afghans.
He said that China is deeply concerned about the current situation in Afghanistan and supports an Afghan-led approach to addressing the urgent needs of the Afghan people in a "flexible and pragmatic" manner.
