A group of United Nations human rights experts has officially asked the Taliban government to revoke their recent decree regulating criminal courts. They strongly warned that implementing this measure could lead to further erosion of fundamental human rights in Afghanistan.
In an official letter led by Richard Bennett, experts stated that reviewing this decree raises serious concerns about human rights compatibility. The letter, addressed to the Taliban government's foreign minister, highlights clear violations of the right to a fair trial.
The human rights experts warned that vague definitions of crimes could trigger arbitrary law enforcement across the country. The Taliban government has not yet provided any official response to this critical letter from the United Nations.
