UN report reveals most Afghan war victims left 'without justice'

The United Nations has reported that most civilian victims of Afghanistan's 2001-2021 war have received no justice, reparation, or acknowledgment of their suffering. Over 40,000 civilians were killed and 77,000 wounded during the conflict, with attacks attributed to Taliban insurgents, Daesh terrorists, and coalition forces. The UN mission in Afghanistan noted that 95% of interviewed victims experienced psychological harm, and most attempts to seek justice were unsuccessful. Despite initiatives like the 2006 Peace, Reconciliation and Justice plan and the 2020 U.S.-Taliban peace deal, there have been no concrete actions to address victim rights or accountability. The Taliban's recent amnesty law further limits prospects for justice.
