Our core mission is to uphold and protect the fundamental human rights of every Afghan, including women, youth, and minorities, while striving for a peaceful, stable, and prosperous Afghanistan that embraces inclusivity and democracy.

At the United Nations, we engage proactively to advance Afghanistan’s interests across critical areas such as peace, security, development, and human rights. Our primary goal is to ensure that the rights of all Afghans are safeguarded and respected in accordance with the UN Charter and international human rights standards. We collaborate closely with our international partners to achieve these objectives, recognizing that our efforts at the UN are integral to securing a brighter future for Afghanistan and its people.

Our dedicated team operates with the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and commitment, driven by the belief that by promoting democratic values and adhering to international human rights principles, we can help build a better future for Afghanistan. The overwhelming support and trust of the Afghan people empower us to represent their interests independently and with unwavering integrity.
