Reconciliation is impossible without a truth-telling and justice process. Afghanistan’s journey towards reconciliation, democracy, stability, and prosperity is intricately tied to addressing past and present human rights atrocities and the needs of victims. Any process aimed at finding a solution for Afghanistan must guarantee the representation of victims, taking into account their needs and expectations for justice. We therefore emphasize the crucial significance of embracing a victim-centered approach in all discussions and processes related to Afghanistan’s present and future. It is crucial to ensure that the voices of victims are not merely heard but are central to the dialogue and decision-making processes, paving the way for a genuinely inclusive and just resolution and honoring the sufferings and experiences of all Afghans.
