Danish: Human Rights Faces Challenges in Afghanistan

Second Vice President Sarwar Danish at a gathering on Tuesday said that human rights faces challenges in the country, and without the assurance of justice a durable peace is impossible.

Speaking at an event to mark International Human Rights Day, Danish emphasized that the achievements of the last 19 years will not be the victim of peace.

“Peace without human rights and without justice will not be a durable peace. the role of the human rights commission, the role of women, civil society and the media are important to the peace process,” said Danish.

Shahrzad Akbar, chairperson of Afghanistan’s Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC),  said, “The Taliban should recognize human rights if they want to have a role in the future of Afghanistan.”

Tadamichi Yamamoto. special representative of the Secretary-General for the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, said that human rights are embattled in Afghanistan and there is a need to support advocacy of victims.

“As the Afghan people prepare themselves for the peace process, the human rights commission has a crucial role to play; it is the organization which can insure that every voice is heard in Afghanistan, including those of women,” said Yamamoto.

Pierre Mayaudon, the European Union’s ambassador in Afghanistan is also concerned about human rights in Afghanistan, saying that all warring parties should be held accountable.

“Human rights in Afghanistan are under stress, under stress of course primarily because of the conflict directly and indirectly … all parties to the conflict should be made accountable.” Added Mayaudon.
