No joke: the medieval Taliban terrorists who blew up the colossal 1500-year-old Buddha statues of Bamiyan are poised to inherit membership on UNESCO, the UN agency charged with safeguarding world heritage.
And on the UN organ that oversees women's rights.

🇦🇫 Afghanistan sits on UNESCO’s Executive Board, overseeing education, world heritage & counter-extremism. And it's a 2022-24 member of ECOSOC, the main UN organ that accredits human rights groups, oversees the Commission on the Status of Women, UN Women Executive Board & UNICEF.
We call on the US, the EU & and all UN member states to deny the Taliban credentials for Afghanistan's UNESCO & ECOSOC seats.
Allowing a misogynistic, murderous band of terrorists to influence these world bodies would be absurd, immoral and obscene.

Listen to the Taliban celebrating with shouts of "Allahu Akbar" — "God is great" — as they detonate massive explosives to destroy the colossal Buddha statues of Bamiyan dating to the 6th century.
The evil Taliban forced local farmers to carry and set up the tons of explosives.

When the Taliban were in power from 1996 to 2001, the UN did not grant them recognition. We are calling on the US, EU and all other states to ensure the same now.
