Abstract

With the collapse of the government in 2021, the country changed deeply from all perspectives. From 2004 until 2021 the efforts for democracy and human rights were demolished and the change happened drastically. This paper records and analyzes the human rights violations that occurred during Taliban Regime in Afghanistan. It covers the violations based on the timeline of events from 2021-2024. One of the main serious violations which affected society is the restriction on women's education. Since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 nine core international human rights treaties cover various aspects of human rights, such as civil and political rights, economic and social rights, racial discrimination, torture, women’s rights, children’s rights, migrant workers’ rights, and disabilities rights where Afghanistan ratified six of those treaties.

During these years inside Afghanistan, no published book or article disclosed the Taliban human rights violations due to restricted freedom of media because of that reason the humanitarian and UN reports data are used in this paper.

This paper first focuses on the human rights situation before the Taliban and the legal development of Afghanistan. Secondly, it includes the violation of human rights by the Taliban regime, and at the last, it includes a conclusion and proposed recommendations from the perspective of international law students.
