In reaction to the Doha meeting, where the United Nations (UN) along with other countries are talking about recognizing the Taliban, 21 Afghan civil society and women’s organizations have written a letter to world leaders titled “Talk to Me, Not About Me”, reports Hasht-e Subh on May 1. The letter states, “We urge the UN to immediately cancel all its plans, even if they are small steps towards recognizing an illegitimate regime that systematically violates the human rights of all Afghans and its actions are crimes against humanity.” They have emphasized that all necessary actions should be taken to prosecute the Taliban leaders for serious crimes against the people of Afghanistan, especially against women and girls. This should include cooperation with the International Criminal Court to bring the Taliban leaders and officials accused of crimes under international law to justice.
