UN: No Recognition for  Taliban If Human Rights Not Respected

The United Nations General Assembly (UGNA) has adopted a resolution on Afghanistan based on which the international community will not recognize Afghanistan’s de facto authorities if they do not respect human rights, including for women, girls, and minorities.

This resolution was approved by the UN General Assembly on Thursday, November 11. A total of 116 countries voted in favor of the resolution, while ten countries, including Russia and China, abstained and raised concerns that the text of the resolution was “unbalanced.”
