OPEN LETTER TO THE UNITED NATIONS SECRETARY GENERAL ANTONIO GUTERRES

In August 2021, the Network of Former Youth Delegates to the United Nations created the Advocacy  Group for Afghanistan, which is an informal group of Afghan young leaders who have left the country,  friends of Afghanistan, and young human rights activists from across the world. An Open Letter was sent to the United Nations Secretary-General regarding the humanitarian crisis in the country – endorsed by 20 organizations and 150 human rights activists from 39 countries. The Open Letter resulted in a United Nations Human Rights Council resolution to create a Special Rapporteur on  Afghanistan on October 7, 2021.
