The above statement was made by the OIC in its final communique of the Extraordinary Meeting of the OIC Executive Committee on `The Recent Developments and the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan’.

The 57-member states group also expressed concern over the deteriorating humanitarian and human rights situation in Afghanistan and called on the Islamic Emirate to respect human rights, including the rights of women and children.

Earlier, OIC Secretary-General Hissein Brahim stressed that the OIC is following the developments of the ‘unfortunate events’ in Afghanistan with deep concern.

He further said that they have sent messages to the de facto authority, emphasising the importance of the government’s fulfilment of its previous promises to open schools for girls in light of the solid and clear foundations of the Islamic religion that encourage education.

In a press statement, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Tur called on the Taliban to lift policies targeting the rights of women and girls, with a horrific cascading impact on their lives and the risk of destabilizing such policies pose to Afghan society.

On December 24, the Taliban issued a decree banning women from working in NGOs. This followed after they had already suspended university education for women and secondary schooling for girls until further notice.

The Taliban took over Afghanistan in August 2021, implementing policies severely restricting basic rights, particularly those of women and girls, according to Human Rights Watch.
