This decision of the Security Council, which was actually taken after hearing the report of the Secretary General of the United Nations, could be a serious blow to the Taliban and its administration in Afghanistan. Because the extension of the sanctions means that the United Nations is not satisfied with the performance of the Taliban group and will destroy the prospects of this group to be recognized internationally at least for the next one year. In that context, in response to the extension of the sanctions of the Security Council against this group, the spokesman of the Taliban has called the move baseless and unwise . Although the United States monopolizing and controlling the Security Council in all aspects is an undeniable fact, the Taliban group has not taken any meaningful steps in respecting and implementing the civil rights of the Afghan people in the past two years of its rule in the country .

 Mohsen Rui Sefat, an expert in political affairs, says that the criticism of the Taliban on the performance of the United States and the United Nations Security Council, especially in the case of Gaza, is correct and appropriate, but this group does not even follow the instructions of Islamic scholars. in relation to respecting the basic rights of citizens in Afghanistan, something that is criticized by various circles in this country and has also been mentioned by the report of the Secretary General of the United Nations . Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman for the Afghan Taliban government In his report to the Security Council of the United Nations, the Secretary General of the United Nations has mentioned issues such as the rights of women and girls in employment and education and emphasized that the Taliban does not consider and has completely ignored the wishes of the public in Afghanistan .

The issue of education and employment is considered as one of the basic rights of citizens in all countries and the people of Afghanistan are also included in this. However, the Taliban has deprived more than half of the Afghan population of education and employment for more than two years now, a move that has nothing to do with Islamic teachings, but contradicts the teachings of that noble religion where Islamic scholars have warned the Taliban about it during their trip to the capital Kabul . Soroush Amiri, a political expert, says in relation to this issue: "The Taliban claims to have deprived half of the Afghan society of education and employment on the basis of fiqh (law) in a situation where it seems that the Taliban made this decision in the framework of tribal customs. and the issue of Islam and jurisprudence is just a cover for this decision, which is also strongly criticized by the international community ." Afghan women protesting against the denial of their basic rights such as education and work Be that as it may, the Taliban group that has regained power in Afghanistan since August 15, 2021 has also been sanctioned by the United States.

The US Department of Treasury recently sanctioned Mohammad Khaled Hanafi, the Minister of Enjoining Good and Forbidding Evil and Fariduddin Mahmoud, the Dean of the Taliban Academy of Sciences, because of what is described as violating human rights. This is in a situation where the Taliban group has signed the Doha Agreement with the United States, and Washington accepted the rule and authority of the Taliban in Afghanistan . On that basis, the continuation of the sanctions of the United Nations Security Council against the Taliban, although it is not important from the point of view of the group, but it is a reflection of the continued dissatisfaction of the international community with the performance of the Taliban, especially in terms of civil and social rights of the women and daughters of that country. From the point of view of the people of Afghanistan, the Taliban should intelligently make the living conditions of the women and girls of that country compatible with the living conditions of girls and women in Islamic countries so as not to give foreign powers an incentive to impose Afghanistan restrictions . Because the report of the Secretary General of the United Nations on the performance of the Taliban group in respecting the rights of citizens has been used as an argument by the Evidence and the Security Council and other international institutions, which has a significant role and contribution in the international recognition of the regime of the group Taliban militants in Afghanistan
