The United Nations will host the third meeting of special envoys on Afghanistan in Doha from June 30 to July 1, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric announced on Tuesday. The meeting aims to discuss ways to advance international engagement on Afghanistan in a more coordinated and structured manner.
The meeting will be chaired by UN Under-Secretary-General for Peacebuilding and Political Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo, who will be representing UN Secretary-General António Guterres. The gathering will bring together 30 countries and international institutions to discuss the situation in Afghanistan.
On July 2, DiCarlo and the special envoys will meet with representatives of Afghan civil society, including human rights and women's rights advocates. The Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), Roza Otunbayeva, will also participate in the discussions.
The ultimate goal of this process is to help Afghanistan become a peaceful and stable country that is fully integrated into the international community and respects human rights, particularly those of women and girls. The Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan in August 2021, following over two decades of war.
Since then, the interim setup has imposed numerous rules and policies that violate the fundamental rights of women and girls. Afghanistan is also facing severe humanitarian crises, including hunger, malnutrition, poverty, a near-collapse of the national public health system, and natural disasters.
The Doha discussions are part of a broader process aimed at finding a solution to the crisis in Afghanistan.
