Abstract
As the ICJ in its opinion on the Israel-Palestinian dispute called the occupation unlawful and human rights, ICJ, Israel-Palestine, Afghanistan, Taliban, women’s rights, international law declared that building settlements in the occupied West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem was illegal and rejected any argument that Israel has sovereignty over the territories, despite its claims. Another issue that needs to be taken up seriously, is the violation of the human rights of women by the de facto authority of Afghanistan. Even though the third UN-convened meeting of Special Envoys and Special Representatives on Afghanistan took place on 30 June–1 July 2024 in Doha, Qatar to discuss the international community’s approach to Afghanistan. More than one year after the first Doha meeting, there is growing concern that the international community lacks the necessary resolve to defend and advocate for the human rights of Afghan women and girls. Many Afghan women civil society have even called for a boycott of continued negotiations with the Taliban until women’s rights are restored. In this context, the authors discuss the ongoing violations of human rights of women and girls and the need for fixing the responsibility of the de facto government of the Taliban .
