Wednesday, 8 September 2021 (YJC)_ The Deputy Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General stressed that the member states should decide for themselves whether to recognize the Taliban government in Afghanistan.
Reacting to the announcement of the formation of a Taliban government, UN Under-Secretary-General Farhan Haq said:
Achieving a comprehensive negotiated solution is the only way to achieve lasting peace in Afghanistan.
Farhan Hagh added:
The UN Secretariat is not involved in the recognition of States, because the decision is up to the member states. The United Nations remains committed to helping achieve a peaceful solution and strengthening the human rights of all Afghans, especially women and girls.
