A draft resolution put forward by Denmark on behalf of the European Union will be discussed at the Geneva-based council.
“This year, after careful and extensive consultations, the EU decided to table a resolution with a strengthened accountability element, notably proposing an independent investigative mechanism for Afghanistan,“ an EU spokesperson told AFP.
Highlighting the deterioration of human rights in Afghanistan, the draft resolution calls for establishing an ongoing independent investigation to collect, consolidate, preserve and analyse evidence of international crimes.
It would also prepare files to facilitate independent criminal proceedings.
The Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021 and imposed a strict version of Islamic law.
Afghan women can no longer practise many professions or travel without a male chaperone.
The draft resolution “deplores the Taliban’s institutionalisation of its system of discrimination, segregation, domination, disrespect for human dignity and exclusion of women and girls”.
The resolution is a “significant milestone in the fight against entrenched impunity,“ Fereshta Abbasi, Afghanistan researcher for Human Rights Watch, told AFP.
The Human Rights Council is made up of 47 elected member states.
The last of the council’s three annual regular sessions closes on Wednesday. – AFP
