US, EU called on Taliban to prevent human rights violations

Oslo, Jan 27 (UNI/Sputnik) The United States and Europe together urged the Taliban (under UN sanctions over terrorist activities) to prevent further increase in human rights violations in Afghanistan and address the humanitarian crisis in the country while praising the Afghan interim government's commitments to ensure women's rights during the Oslo talks, a joint statement published on Thursday said.
Special representatives and envoys of the US, the European Union, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, and the United Kingdom met to discuss the situation in Afghanistan in Oslo on Monday. The Taliban representatives and civil society actors were present at some sessions of the meeting. The participants said that the Taliban's appearance to these sessions in no way implies official recognition of the Afghan interim government by the EU or US.
"[Envoys and representatives] urged the Taliban to do more to stop the alarming increase of human rights violations, including arbitrary detentions (to include recent detentions of women’s rights activists), forced disappearances, media crackdowns, extra-judicial killings, torture and prohibitions on women and girls’ education, employment and freedom to travel without a male escort," the statement, published on the Norwegian government's website, said.
