The United Nations has no right to challenge the recognition of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), Secretary General of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, Ali al-Qaradaghi, has said.
Speaking in an interview with Hadith TV, al-Qaradaghi said that they will use all the resources in hand to get IEA out of isolation.
He said that the government in Afghanistan is Islamic and countries need to recognize it.
“We are trying to serve this emirate until it gets its right and comes out of the current isolation. In this regard, we will use all the resources we have and the trust that the people have in us and the Union of Muslim Scholars in order to preserve the current stability in Afghanistan,” al-Qaradaghi said.
He also said that based on his study of the principles and laws of the United Nations, this organization has no right to challenge the recognition of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
He asked Islamic countries to try to convince the international community to recognize the IEA.
“I have read the principles and laws of the United Nations. The United Nations does not have the right not to recognize Afghanistan. It must be said that here we are talking about Islam and that is why the West has a double standard,” al-Qaradaghi said.
He also said that the issue of human rights, especially women’s rights in Afghanistan, is used an as an excuse for Western countries not to allow recognition of IEA.
Leading a delegation, Al-Qaradaghi visited Kabul about two weeks ago and met with senior officials of the Islamic Emirate, including the Prime Minister and the caretakers of the ministries of interior and foreign affairs.
