Deputy of the United Nations; The issue of human rights and women’s rights is not an internal issue of Afghanistan.

The Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, after speaking with the civil society and women’s representatives of Afghanistan, says that the issue of human rights and women’s rights is not an internal issue of Afghanistan.

Rosemarie DiCarlo, the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, said on Tuesday, 2 July Cancer after her meeting with a number of representatives of the civil society in Doha, the capital of Qatar, that human rights and citizenship rights are not among the internal issues of Afghanistan under the administration of the Taliban group.

Ms. DiCarlo added that Afghanistan has signed a number of treaties and agreements with the international community in the field of human rights and civil rights, and as a country adheres to these treaties, and therefore this is not an internal issue of Afghanistan.

He has once again emphasized that human rights, especially the rights of women and girls and all members of society in Afghanistan, will be an “inseparable” part of all discussions of this organization.

This UN official says that in order to achieve the set goals, it is necessary to build trust among all parties.

According to him, the talks should be based on honesty and the principles of the UN Charter and various human rights treaties, of which Afghanistan is one of them.

In this regard, Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson of the Taliban group, has repeatedly told the media that the issue of women’s rights in the country is one of Afghanistan’s internal issues and no country has the right to interfere in the country’s internal affairs.

On the other hand, Stéphane Dujarric, the spokesperson of the United Nations Secretary General, in response to the non-attendance of a number of countries due to the absence of women in the third Doha meeting, told reporters that the organization is not in a position to tell the delegates which meeting to participate in or not. .

Mr. Dujarric said that the Doha meeting was not a meeting “among Afghans” but between the representatives of the countries and the authorities of Afghanistan so that “everyone could agree on various issues including human rights, women’s rights and drugs”.

He added that Ms. D’Carlo and Otunbayeva have raised the issue of women with the Taliban in this and other meetings.

The spokesperson of the United Nations Secretary General also reminded that the issue of women and human rights is something that this organization deals with every day and is at the top of all the discussions of this organization.

Meanwhile, the third Doha meeting was held on Sunday and Monday of this week without the presence of representatives of civil society and Afghan women, and special representatives of 25 countries and five organizations participated in this meeting.
