UN: Afghan war victims abandoned
The United Nations laments the victims of the Afghanistan war, numbering over 40,000 killed and 77,000 injured, left without justice or compensation from 2001 to 2021. The tragedy includes acts of violence targeting civilians, especially members of the Hazaras community, which have caused severe psychological effects such as nightmares, depression, and suicidal thoughts, with insufficient efforts made to achieve legal accountability. Despite over 20 years of conflict, the majority of war victims have not received their right to justice, particularly amid changing governments and the lack of effective accountability plans, reflecting the weakness of both international and local efforts to hold perpetrators of violations accountable.
