Geneva: The Head of the UN Human Rights warned on Tuesday that he had received credible reports on severe violations in the regions under the control of the Taliban in Afghanistan, including “summary execution” civilians and security forces who had put arms and restrictions on women.
Michelle Bachelet urged the Human Rights Council to take “brave and strong actions” to monitor the situation of the rights in Afghanistan, where the amazing Taliban takeover stated worries that they would return the country to the brutal government they forced when they last ruled.
Taliban leaders have promised to restore security and tried to project a moderation image, but many of the Afghans were skeptical and competed to leave the country, which led to chaos at Kabul International Airport.
In the middle of a scattered report, it is difficult to determine how widespread violations may and whether they reflect that the Taliban leaders say one thing and do others, or if fighters on the ground take problems into their own hands.
The leaders of the group seven countries planned to meet on Tuesday to discuss the growing crisis of refugees and the collapse of the Afghan government amid a fight whether the withdrawal of US full troops could be extended outside the end of the month to provide more time evacuating desperate to leave.
US Administrative Officers have refused to be pinned about whether the possibility of expansion or may even remember that the Taliban spokesman has warned that August 31 is “red line” and which expands the presence of America will “provoke the reaction.” Meanwhile, the tragic scene at the airport has surpassed the world.
Afghans were poured into Tarmak last week and some stick to the US military transport aircraft when taking off, then fell into their deaths.
At least seven people died that day, and seven others died on Sunday at a panic start.
A Afghan soldier was killed on Monday in a shootout.
On Tuesday, Bachelet called for strong actions to investigate reports of rights violations, because he tried to ensure that international attention to the country did not diminish.
“At this critical moment, the Afghans look at the Human Rights Council to defend and protect their rights,” he said.
“I urge this council to take brave and strong acts, commensurate with this crisis gravity, by building a special mechanism to monitor human rights situations that develop in Afghanistan.” With “mechanism,” Bachelet refers to the possibility that the Board can appoint the investigation commission, special reporter or fact-finding mission about the situation in Afghanistan.
Bachelet cited the report “Summary Execution” of civilians and former security forces that no longer fight, the recruitment of children’s army, and restrictions on women’s rights to move freely and women to go to school.
He quoted peaceful protest repression and expression of differences of opinion.
Bachelet did not determine what time he meant or the source of his report.
A few days earlier, a private intelligence group based in Norway which provided information to the United Nations said it was evidence that the Taliban had gathered people in Afghanistan on the blacklist of people they believed to work in the main role with US leadership forces or with troops.
Some Afghans are hiding, saying they are afraid of such revenge.
When the last Taliban ruled Afghanistan in the late 1990s, the group mostly limited women to their homes, forbid television and music, cutting hands suspected and conducted public execution.
Bachelet noted that Taliban leaders have recently promised to respect women’s rights, girls and ethnic minorities and refrain from retaliation.
“Onus is now fully in the Taliban to translate this commitment into reality,” he told the State Council of 47, which was the UN human rights body.
Countries on the Board brings together together resolutions, the possibility of being accepted by consensus, which stops far from several advocacy groups to the appointment of experts to monitor the situation.
Just calling for the Bachelet office to issue reports only early next year.
