<p>The UK continues to meet our obligations under the United Nations sanctions regime
relating to Afghanistan through the Afghanistan Sanctions (EU Exit) Regulations 2020,
which came into force on 31 December 2020. The Government has not introduced any Global
Human Rights sanctions against the Taliban since they took power in 2021, but we keep
all evidence and potential designations under close review. More broadly, officials
from the UK Mission to Afghanistan regularly press Taliban acting ministers on human
rights abuses in Afghanistan, including against women and girls.</p>
