The UN Human Rights Council to discuss Afghanistan on August 24

Geneva: The UN Human Rights Council announced this Tuesday will hold a special session in Afghanistan on August 24 to overcome “serious human rights concerns” after the Taliban takeover.
The meeting in Geneva was being held after the official request delivered by Pakistani representatives – Coordinator of Islamic Cooperation Organizations – and Afghanistan, said the UN rights agency in a statement.
Submission has been supported by 89 countries so far.
Calling a special session outside the three three-year routine meetings requires support for at least a third of 47 board members – 16 states.
Demand has so far been supported by 29 of 47, including Argentina, England, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico and neighboring Afghanistan Pakistan and Uzbekistan.
Some other countries have so far supported this step, including Algeria, Belgium, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan and the United Arab Emirates.
Taliban took effect on Afghanistan on Sunday when President Ashraf Ghani fled and the guerrillas walked to Kabul without opposition.
It limits a very fast defeat of Afghan’s big cities after two decades of war that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives.
Tens of thousands of people have tried to escape from the country to escape from the rules of hardline Islam expected under the Taliban, or fear direct retribution to side with the US-backed government that ruled over the past two decades.
The meeting of the Human Rights Council will be held in a virtual hybrid format due to Covid-19 steps, which means the majority of interventions are expected to be sent online.
The meeting will live a webcast in six UN languages.
The Board will hold an organization meeting on Monday where further details will be announced.
The meeting will be the 31st extraordinary meeting of the UN rights agency since his creation 15 years ago.
The last special session, on May 27, was summoned to overcome the situation in the occupied Palestinian, after the deadly violence between Israel and Palestinian groups armed in Gaza.
The meeting triggered an open investigation commission into a “systematic” violation in Israel and Palestinian territories, and “their root” “in conflict for decades.
Coi is the highest level investigation that can be ordered by the Board.
The Commissioners are mandated to achieve the facts and conditions about violations and identify those responsible “with a view to ensure that the offender violations are accounted for”.
