Roza Otunbayeva presented a report and briefed the UN security Council on the situation in Afghanistan on Wednesday local time, according to IRNA reporter in New York.
The UN mission’s extensive monitoring and advocacy, including on human rights, has highlighted the denial of the civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights of the population, the well-documented policies and actions of repression of women and girls, public displays of violence including of corporal and capital punishment, she told the council.
Otunbayeva in her report said that the current turmoil is due to the lack of an inclusive governance and the marginalization of minorities in the country.
This UN official stated that day-to-day security has improved for for millions of people in Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover, but this has come at an enormous cost.
Afghanistan has been a challenge for the international community for decades. It is a source of instability, an export of terrorism and a source of 85% of the world's opium production and home to millions of refugees, she added.
