Afghanistan: humanitarian crisis as a threat to fundamental human rights

Abstract

The main aim of the article is to analyse the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. The main factors that contributed to its emergence were: the withdrawal of American and NATO troops in 2021 and the seizure of power by the Taliban. The dramatic situation was further aggravated by natural disasters and the rise of armed and jihadist groups in Afghanistan (emboldened by the success of the Taliban). The fundamental human rights, which are regularly violated and the deepening crisis makes the situation of millions of people in Afghanistan worse every day, are particularly analyzed.
