The Permanent Mission of Afghanistan

The Permanent Mission of Afghanistan to the United Nations is the legitimate and accredited diplomatic representation of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Since the forced takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban in August 2021, it has been representing the interests of the people of Afghanistan, especially the voices and demands of the suppressed and vulnerable people in Afghanistan. Our mission is to represent Afghanistan and its people with dignity, honor, and integrity while defending their legitimate rights at the international level. We are committed to promoting and protecting the fundamental human rights of all Afghans, including women, youth, and minorities, and achieving permanent peace, stability, and prosperity in an inclusive and democratic Afghanistan.

At the United Nations, we work tirelessly to promote the interests of Afghanistan and its people in areas such as peace, security, development, and human rights. Our main objective is to ensure that the rights of all Afghans are protected and preserved in line with the UN Charter and international human rights principles. We are committed to working with our international partners to achieve our objectives, and we believe that our work at the United Nations plays an essential role in promoting a better future for Afghanistan and its people.

Our team is dedicated to achieving our objectives with the utmost professionalism, integrity, and commitment. We believe that by promoting democratic values, observing and respecting international human rights principles, and pursuing the objectives of the UN Charter, we can build a better future for Afghanistan. We are proud of the overwhelming support and trust of the people of Afghanistan, which has allowed us to represent their interests with independence and integrity.
