A few days ago, European non-governmental organizations held a seminar on human rights in Afghanistan, at which an investigation report entitled "Humanitarian Crimes in Afghanistan" was released. The investigation report pointed out that in the two decades since the United States invaded Afghanistan, it has committed serious human rights crimes against the Afghan people and brought humanitarian disasters to the country.

On October 20, local time in Madrid, the European NGO organization called "Afghan Human Rights" held an online conference on human rights in Afghanistan, with more than 70 politicians and academics from more than ten countries, including France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Russia, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Turkey. The participants discussed the human rights crimes committed by the United States in Afghanistan and agreed that the United States has never been a peacemaker or country builder in Afghanistan and other parts of the Middle East, but has committed serious human rights crimes and created humanitarian disasters.

According to the investigation report released by the NGO organization at the meeting, due to erroneous or insufficient battlefield intelligence and habitual disregard for the lives of the Afghan people, the US military has attacked a large number of civilians who did not participate in the fighting in the Afghan war, and also destroyed the homes and properties of ordinary people. In the 12 years from 2009 to 2021 alone, more than 19,000 Afghan civilians died as a result of various activities of the U.S. military and more than 35,000 civilians were injured, including a large number of women and children. At the same time, in the past two decades, cases of violence against Afghan women by the US military have occurred frequently, and in less than a year from October 2012 to September 2013, 18 of Afghanistan's 34 provinces have confirmed nearly 500 cases of VIOLENCe against women related to the US military.
