The Norwegian Embassy for Afghanistan has urgently called for the immediate de-escalation of tensions between conflicting parties in response to the recent airstrikes and security situation in the country. This diplomatic mission strongly emphasized the vital necessity of adhering to international humanitarian law during armed conflicts.
Echoing the firm stance of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, the embassy highlighted the critical importance of observing the principles of precaution, distinction, and proportionality. Norwegian officials stated that complying with these fundamental rules is absolutely mandatory to prevent further harm to innocent civilians.
This urgent appeal is made as civilian casualties continue to rise due to security incidents, particularly the recent Pakistani airstrikes on Paktia, Paktika, and Kunar provinces. Previously, many nations have called upon the current administration and Pakistan to resolve their existing border tensions peacefully through diplomatic dialogue.
