The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan considers the Universal Periodic Review an effective and constructive mechanism of the Human Rights Council to enhance the promotion and protection of human rights worldwide. The participation of Afghanistan, despite the challenges, emphasises the importance of this mechanism in providing a platform to review its human rights record, share best practices and recognise challenges in the human rights situation of the country concerned. The fourth cycle is an opportunity to not only maintain the universality of the UPR, but also to present a picture of the deteriorating situation and foster an effective response.
The Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review, established in accordance with Human Rights Council resolution 5/1, held its forty-sixth session from 29 April to 10 May 2024. The delegation, led by Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to the United Nations Office in Geneva and other international organisations in Switzerland, Dr. Nasir Ahmad Andisha, presented the report on 29 April 2024 and engaged in a constructive dialogue with member states on the human rights situation in Afghanistan. The report of the Working Group on Afghanistan’s fourth cycle review was adopted at its 10th meeting, held on 03 May 2024.
