UN Passes Resolution Urging Taliban to Respect Women’s Rights / ਸੰਯੁਕਤ ਰਾਸ਼ਟਰ ਨੇ ਤਾਲਿਬਾਨ ਨੂੰ ਔਰਤਾਂ ਦੇ ਅਧਿਕਾਰਾਂ ਦਾ ਸਨਮਾਨ ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਅਪੀਲ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲਾ ਮਤਾ ਪਾਸ ਕੀਤਾ
United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution calling on the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan to end their oppression of women and girls and to fight terrorist groups in the country.
The vote passed with 116 countries in favor, while the United States and Israel voted against, and 12 countries, including India, China, Russia, and Iran, abstained.
This resolution is important because it reflects growing global concern over the worsening human rights situation in Afghanistan.
The 11-page resolution urges the Taliban to reverse their harsh policies, especially those affecting women and girls, such as bans on education beyond sixth grade and restrictions on movement.
It also calls for the elimination of all terrorist organizations operating in Afghanistan, including al-Qaida and Islamic State groups.
