Resolution 2522 (2023)1Provisional version

The humanitarian crisis emerging for Afghanistan and Afghan refugees

Parliamentary Assembly

1. The Parliamentary Assembly reiterates its deepest concern at the ongoing situation in Afghanistan aswell as the protracted Afghan refugee crisis as expressed in its Resolution 2403 (2021) “The situation inAfghanistan: consequences for Europe and the region”. It acknowledges that the situation dramaticallyworsened since August 2021.

2. The Assembly strongly condemns the exclusion by the de facto authorities, of ethnic and religiousminorities as well as particular groups in society – especially the Hazaras, the Tajiks, Christians, LGBTIQA+communities and women – from the management of public affairs and their exposure to discrimination andtargeted violence.

3. The Assembly forcefully condemns the systemic violence against women and girls enshrined in rights-violating edicts. It considers that documented evidence exists which may justify the consideration of genderpersecution under crimes against humanity in the International Criminal Court’s ongoing investigation onAfghanistan pursuant to Articles 5(b) and 7.1(h) of the Rome Statute.

4. The Assembly expresses its solidarity with the Afghan people and salutes the courage of all Afghans,not least women and girls, who strive to claim their rights in extremely dangerous and adverse circumstancesinside Afghanistan and in exile.

5. The present resolution aims to explore concrete avenues for the Council of Europe and its memberStates to further address the immediate protection needs of Afghans whilst envisioning some policy co-ordination mechanisms beyond the humanitarian and short-term protection approach.

6. The reaffirmed values and standards by the Heads of State and Government of the Council of Europein the Reykjavík Declaration constitute a robust baseline to delineate such an approach based on the respectof individual human rights as enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights (ETS No. 5) as well ason solidarity across member States in Europe. This approach is also reinforced through political dialogue withexternal partners notably the United Nations and the European Union.

7. In this effort, the Assembly acknowledges Resolution S/RES/2626(2022) by the United Nations SecurityCouncil as well as the European Parliament Resolution 2022/2955(RSP) on “The human rights situation inAfghanistan, especially the deterioration of women’s rights and attacks against educational institutions.”

8. The Assembly notes that Afghans are the third largest nationality seeking asylum across Europeamong them many unaccompanied children and teenagers in transition to adulthood. It recalls thecommitments by the Council of Europe member States enshrined in the 2021-2025 Action Plan on ProtectingVulnerable Persons in the Context of Migration and Asylum in Europe (CM(2021)67-final), in
