    4. In order to facilitate effective intra-Afghan talks to achieve peace, the fighting parties must prevent threats, revenge and should use soft words in their official statements.

      • Ensuring Protection educational institutions.
      • Commitment for protecting the dignity of the people, their life and property and minimize civilian casualties to zero.
    6. Assuring that women’s rights are ensured in political, social, economic, educational and cultural areas within the framework of the Islamic values.
    7. Agreeing on a roadmap for peace based on the following conditions:
      • Consensus Islamic system in the country.
      • Start of the peace process simultaneously as all conditions are set.
      • Monitoring of the peace agreement.
      • Required reforms and support of basic institutions, defense, and other institutions which are belonged to all Afghans.
      • Repatriation of migrants and return of internally displaced people.
      • Support and assistance from donor countries for a peace agreement based on the new cooperation and relations.
      • Afghanistan’s peace agreement shall be approved at an international conference.
      • An assurance on zero interference from regional and other countries in Afghanistan’s affairs.
    8. We urge the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the United Nations, the European Union, and Afghanistan’s neighboring countries to approve and support the joint declaration of the Intra-Afghan Dialogue Conference on Peace in Doha.

      However, there are major discrepancies between different versions of the resolution released in the Pashto, Dari, and English languages that highlight where difficulties in the negotiations remain.
       

      The English version, released on July 9 by U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad as an “unofficial translation,” declares that the Taliban and intra-Afghan delegates had agreed to assure Afghan women their fundamental rights in “political, social, economic, educational, [and] cultural affairs” in a way that is “in accordance with the values of Islam.” That is a key demand from Afghanistan’s internationally backed government in Kabul. The English translation also did not contain any reference to one of the key issues for the Taliban — their demand for the withdrawal of all foreign military forces from Afghanistan.

       

      In the Pashto version, the main language of most Taliban, the text included references to the withdrawal of foreign troops as part of the road map. But it did not include any reference to guarantees for women’s rights.
       

      Like the English text, the Dari version of the resolution included references to guaranteeing women’s rights but did not mention the withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan.
       

      In all versions of the joint declaration, the Taliban and intra-Afghan delegates said they agreed to reduce “civilian casualties to zero” with pledges not to attack hospitals and schools or critical infrastructure such as hydroelectric dams. They also said they agree to the unconditional release of old, disabled, and sick prisoners, and to be more diplomatic in their public statements about each other.(20190710)
