30-03-2022, Amsterdam
While the world has been gripped by the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, on the side-lines of the 49th Session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, the European Foundation for South Asian Studies (EFSAS) organised a very engaging and though-provoking Webinar on ‘Human Rights Situation in Afghanistan’, in order to illuminate the increasingly deteriorating situation there, which has lately been rather spared from the international spot-light.
An all-Afghan panel consisting of a scholar, former diplomat and young innovator discussed how human rights have been affected post-Taliban takeover and what the trajectories are for the future. The event was moderated by Mr. Junaid Qureshi, Director EFSAS, and was joined by a large number of attendees, including human rights activists, NGO representatives, diplomats and researchers.
