The Islamic Emirate said Wednesday the recent report of Richard Bennett, the UN&s special rapporteur for human rights, regarding the violation of women&s rights in Afghanistan was groundless and that it was an attempt to negatively influence people on the eve of the Doha meeting.This comes after the UN Secretary-General&s Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq this week said gender apartheid in Afghanistan was a key concern and called for the rights of Afghan women to be respected.Addressing a press conference, Haq said the UN does not see the Islamic Emirate as the legal and official government of Afghanistan.In addition, Bennett told the 56th meeting of the United Nations Security Council recently that violence against Afghan women has increased and is widespread under the control of the Islamic Emirate.Haq stated: &We want to ensure that women&s rights in Afghan society are respected just as they are necessary everywhere in the world,& said Haq.In response to these claims, the IEA&s spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement that certain people from the United Nations continuously present a false image of Afghanistan.Mujahid emphasized that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan did however appreciate the support by some UN-member countries.The IEA has also repeatedly said in the past that women&s rights are ensured in accordance with Sharia law.The UN-hosted Doha meeting will bring together special envoys for Afghanistan for two days from June 30.  Related Stories:   UN calls ‘gender apartheid& in Afghanistan a key concern OCHA chief says IEA has not fulfilled its commitments over human rightsThe post UN&s remarks on women&s rights violations ‘damaging& ahead of Doha meeting: IEA first appeared on Ariana News.
