International recognition of Taliban

International recognition of the Taliban refers to whether countries officially accept and establish formal diplomatic relations with the Taliban government in Afghanistan. Recognition affects the Taliban’s ability to engage in international diplomacy, access financial systems, and participate in global organizations. As of now, most countries do not recognize the Taliban as Afghanistan's legitimate government, mainly due to concerns about human rights and extremist activities. Recognition is a complex process that involves political, legal, and diplomatic considerations and greatly influences Afghanistan’s international relations and aid prospects.
