Afghan Envoy Rejects Taliban Decrees as Legitimate Laws, Says Regime Lacks Public and International Recognition

New York: Afghanistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Nasir Ahmad Andisha, has expressed serious concerns over recent decisions by the Taliban administration, stating that authoritarian measures imposed by a regime that seized power by force cannot be regarded as the official laws of Afghanistan.

According to the Afghan envoy, the current Taliban administration lacks both democratic legitimacy and international recognition. He emphasized that the decrees issued by the regime should not be viewed as a reflection of the will, aspirations, or interests of the Afghan people.

Speaking on the issue, Andisha stated that the Afghan public does not support these policies and that many of the measures introduced by the Taliban fail to represent the wishes of the country's citizens.

He further noted that dissatisfaction with Taliban policies continues to grow among segments of Afghan society, with reports of protests and public opposition emerging from various parts of the country.

Political analysts say the remarks delivered at the United Nations highlight the ongoing challenges faced by the Taliban in securing broader international acceptance and diplomatic recognition.

Experts also argue that many of the Taliban’s policies are viewed by critics as ideologically driven rather than focused on economic development, public welfare, or Afghanistan’s integration with the international community.
