New Delhi / Kabul: If there is no movement at the negotiating table, and instead, human rights violations and worse cruelty occurs in the districts they control, the Taliban will not be seen as a proper partner for the international community, Special Secretary General of the UN Representative For Afghanistan, said Deborah Lyons.
Lyons said on joint coordination and monitoring board (JCMB) met in Kabul that the world has now recognized that the Taliban must be a partner in the Afghan transition for independence.
International donors have signified their willingness to continue to support Afghanistan after the peace agreement is reached.
“But there are no big donors that will finance female repression, let me say that again, there are no big donors that will finance women’s repression, and a large donor will finance minority discrimination, educational copying to girls, or government decrees authoritarian.
Unable to do this, not only because this opposes the Norms of the United Nations and the international community, but because people built on these restrictions cannot and will not function for their citizens, “he said.
Lyons added that whatever the government that day, Afghanistan, and will remain part of the international community, and therefore, is bound by an international human rights obligations that exist to the agreement that has been ratified.
He talks about certain concern in terms of this relevance of the Afghan partnership framework which is a loss of control by the Government of the Border Post.
The border post which is currently under the control of Taliban last year produced large income in government revenues, as many as a third of the revenue raised by the government in Afghanistan.
“Assuming that the Taliban still controls these posts, this means, first, that the percentage of international funding as part of the total revenue of government increased, the regulation of what previously is indeed a major achievement by the state and the Afghan government.
But more importantly, The revenue available for the government decreases, which will definitely affect the provision of services and increase economic losses that have been significant as a result of Covid, “Lyons said.
The loss of the control of the border area also called the doubts of Afghan ambitions to properly change itself by becoming a regional connective knot, he added.
