UN report: Afghanistan's war trauma persists, victims lack justice and reparations

A new UN report documents the enduring physical, psychological, social, and economic toll of Afghanistan's decades-long conflict, noting that victims often lack access to justice, reparations, or formal acknowledgment. The findings highlight a systemic gap in transitional justice mechanisms, though the report's release itself does not signal a policy shift. This matters as it underscores the unresolved humanitarian and justice crisis in Afghanistan, potentially influencing international aid and advocacy.
