The International Organization for Human Rights has criticized US President Joe Biden’s recent decree on Afghanistan’s frozen resources.
US President Joe Biden has signed a decree declaring that about 3.5 billion will be transferred to Afghanistan Bank for the benefit of the people of Afghanistan and the remaining 3.5 billion will remain in the United States. Until the 9/11 victims’ claims are decided.
The International Organization for Human Rights said in a statement late on Friday that the implementation of the decree would create more problems in Afghanistan and that the money would not help resolve the humanitarian crisis in the country.
Human Rights Organization has said that allocating 3.5 billion to humanitarian aid to Afghans may be considered generous, but insists that 7 billion belongs to Afghans.
The statement said: “To address Afghanistan’s current humanitarian crisis, continued efforts by the United Nations and humanitarian organizations to encourage the United States and the World Bank to reduce economic constraints, to stabilize Afghanistan on the verge of collapse. That’s very important.”
Human Rights Watch believes that the current restrictions on the banking system in Afghanistan will lead to starvation and starvation for the people of Afghanistan. The International organization has said that restrictions on Afghanistan’s banking system come at a time when Afghans are still facing restrictions and violence from the Taliban.
Human Rights Organization also said that according to donors, the incidence of child malnutrition in Afghanistan has risen, with more than 90 percent of the population suffering from food insecurity.
The statement said: “Afghanistan’s economic crisis is in dire need of permission for the country’s central bank to conduct transactions in dollars through the international banking system.”
This comes as Thomas West, the US special envoy for Afghanistan, said Mr Biden’s decision to release 3.5 billion from Afghanistan’s frozen currency was part of an effort to meet the needs of Afghans.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blanken also said the decree was signed to help the people of Afghanistan and that the United States is committed to helping the people of that country.
The Taliban has repeatedly said that the money is the right of Afghans and in a letter to the US Congress has demanded the release of the money. Or the group has not yet commented on US President Joe Biden’s executive order.
