The Taliban and UN have pledged to continue collaboration despite international uproar over Afghanistan’s new moral law. The law, which requires women to cover their bodies and limit their public voices, has drawn criticism from global groups and human rights campaigners.
Deputy Taliban spokesman Hamdullah Fitrat said the Afghan government will cooperate with international organizations in accordance with Islamic law. Fitrat stressed the significance of discussion to address difficulties and promote international relations, despite the law’s strict requirements, including the ban on women speaking in public and significant personal behavior regulation.
Stephane Dujarric, UN spokesperson, committed to engage with the Taliban. Dujarric stressed that the UN is neutral and promotes human rights and equality. The Taliban should establish more diplomatic channels for successful engagement, he said.
The EU and human rights groups worry that the new law will limit international collaboration and Afghanistan’s global position. UNAMA chief Roza Otunbayeva called the law a “distressing vision” for Afghanistan.
Taliban Chief Spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid defends the ordinance as Islamic, despite criticism. The Taliban’s communication with international players will shape Afghanistan’s global ties.
