Special envoys from countries and regions attended a meeting convened by the United Nations (UN) in Qatar's capital Doha to discuss the situation in Afghanistan chaired by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
This is the second UN meeting on Afghanistan in less than a year. The meeting is expected to last 2 days and discuss increasing international coordination with Afghanistan.
UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Afghanistan, Mr. Richard Bennett, expressed hope that the meeting in Doha will create a basis for organizing a series of meaningful meetings between relevant parties on the issue of ensuring rights for women and girls in Afghanistan. The Taliban government did not send a representative to the meeting in Doha at the invitation of the UN, on the grounds that the UN did not accept the conditions related to aid issues.
