The Center for Human Rights Advocacy (CHRA), in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, has unveiled an in-depth report exposing the Taliban’s systematic breaches of international human rights treaties. The findings reveal that the regime has violated seven core UN conventions, including those on the rights of women and children, the prohibition of torture, and civil, economic, and cultural rights.
But this report goes beyond documentation—it serves as a toolkit for action. Its recommendations call for an “all-means” approach, combining legal, political, and diplomatic mechanisms to hold perpetrators accountable. Key proposals include:
✔ Recognizing gender apartheid as an international crime
✔ Pursuing Taliban leaders through international and domestic courts
✔ Establishing an independent accountability mechanism to preserve evidence of torture and atrocities
✔ Leveraging regional blocs such as the OIC and BRICS to apply diplomatic pressure
The report underscores one principle above all: the voices of Afghans must remain at the center, ensuring survivors are not silenced again. Real impact depends on global solidarity, creativity, and persistence from all stakeholders.
This is not merely a warning—it is a global call to action to protect the fundamental rights of Afghan women, children, and marginalized communities.
