About this report
This report is part of a series of thematic studies on current human rights issues of concern, carried out by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan’s (UNAMA) Human Rights Service in the framework of Security Council Resolution 2626 (2022), which was most recently extended by Resolution 2727 (2024). Resolution 2626 tasks UNAMA with engaging with “all stakeholders at the national and subnational levels and civil society and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the protection and promotion of the human rights of all Afghans,” and to “monitor, report and advocate with regard to the situation for civilians (and) the prevention and elimination of violence.” As part of this engagement, Afghanistan’s de facto authorities were invited to provide factual comments on the content of the report. They responded in Pashto to UNAMA on 13 May 2024 and the response is included in full in the Annex. Their comments related to specific incidents and issues have been incorporated within the text of the report as appropriate and are italicized.
