A UN Human Rights Official Michelle Bachelet said she had received credible reports of serious violations committed by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Bachele explained that the violations included summary execution of civilians and restrictions on women and on protests against Taliban rule.
The rights official gave no details of executions in her speech to the Human Rights Council but urged the Geneva forum to set up a mechanism to closely monitor Taliban actions.
A senior Afghan diplomat from the deposed government Nasir Ahmad Andisha, called for accountability for Taliban actions, describing an “uncertain and dire” situation where millions of people fear for their lives.
The council will consider a draft resolution, submitted by Pakistan on behalf of the OIC that voices concern at reports of violations.
