Dear colleagues,
 
Alongside the international community, IFLA has been watching the
events of the past days unfold in Afghanistan closely. 
 
Our concern is first and foremost for the people of Afghanistan,
particularly those groups that are most vulnerable, including women and
girls.
 
We join our voice to the global call for the human rights of all Afghan
citizens to be respected and upheld. As the voice of the global library
field, we put particular emphasis on the right to education and access
to information, freedom of opinion and expression, and cultural rights
for all.
 
Cultural Rights and Safeguarding of Cultural Heritage 
To ensure the right to participate in cultural life, the diverse
cultural heritage of Afghanistan in all its forms, both tangible and
intangible, must be safeguarded.
 
IFLA calls on all authorities across Afghanistan to safeguard libraries
and their collections, including documentary heritage collections held
by citizens in private collections, as well as all memory institutions,
museums, archives, galleries, and monuments and sites across the
country.
 
We put particular emphasis on the need to mitigate threats associated
with illicit trafficking and theft of cultural property, to which
documentary heritage is particularly vulnerable.
 
We therefore call on all authorities to carry out this safeguarding of
cultural heritage, and of those professionals who work to preserve it,
without discrimination due to ethnicity, gender, religion, or political
opinion, to ensure it remains accessible for future generations.
 
In particular, we join our voices with fellow international cultural
organisations to call on authorities to continue abiding by their
international obligations to protect heritage as a state-party to the
1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property and its
protocols, and the UNESCO 1970 Convention on the Means of Prohibiting
and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of
Cultural Property.
 
Finally, IFLA honours those who have already risked their lives to
protect the country’s documentary heritage and cultural heritage in all
forms. We will continue to liaise with our network in the region and
international partners to monitor the situation and provide any support
that is possible.
