The European Union recently conducted diplomatic discussions with Taliban officials in Brussels to facilitate the deportation of Afghan nationals.

歐盟最近在布魯塞爾與塔利班官員進行外交討論，以促進阿富汗國民的遣返。

The engagement occurs against a backdrop of systemic human rights regressions in Afghanistan. Since the 2021 transition of power, the Taliban administration has implemented restrictive mandates, including the prohibition of female education beyond age 11, the exclusion of women from professional and public spheres, and the introduction of a criminal code that permits domestic violence. UN experts have characterized these comprehensive measures as potential gender apartheid. These developments stand in contradiction to previous assertions by EU diplomatic leadership, specifically Josep Borrell, who stated that cooperation with any future Afghan government would be contingent upon the respect of fundamental rights.

這次接觸發生在阿富汗人權狀況系統性倒退的背景下。自 2021 年政權交接以來，塔利班政府實施了許多限制性指令，包括禁止 11 歲以上女性就學、將女性排除在專業與公共領域之外，並引入了一套允許家庭暴力的刑法。聯合國專家將這些全面措施描述為潛在的「性別種族隔離」。這些發展與歐盟外交領導層（特別是約瑟夫·波雷爾）之前的主張相矛盾，他曾表示與任何未來阿富汗政府的合作都將以尊重基本權利為前提。

Stakeholder positioning reveals a divergence between official EU narratives and the operational parameters of the talks. While the European Commission asserted that the discussions focused exclusively on individuals posing security threats or those who have committed serious crimes, reports indicate the invitation extended to the Taliban referenced all Afghan nationals lacking legal residency. This discrepancy suggests a broader shift in migration policy, influenced by the increasing presence of right-wing legislators within the European Parliament. Consequently, the parliament has supported expedited removal processes and detention frameworks that human rights organizations argue may circumvent international obligations regarding non-refoulement.

利益相關者的定位顯示，歐盟的官方論述與談判的實際操作參數之間存在分歧。儘管歐盟委員會聲稱討論僅限於對安全構成威脅或犯有嚴重罪行的人員，但報告指出，向塔利班發出的邀請涵蓋了所有缺乏合法居留權的阿富汗國民。這一差異表明移民政策發生了更廣泛的轉向，受到了歐洲議會中右翼立法者增加的影響。因此，議會支持加速遣返程序和拘留框架，而人權組織認為這可能會規避有關「不強制遣返」的國際義務。

Furthermore, the humanitarian context complicates the feasibility of repatriation. UN data indicates that approximately 40% of the Afghan population faces food insecurity, and returnees from Iran and Pakistan have reported arbitrary detention and torture. The potential for a diplomatic rapprochement, including the possible resumption of consular services, is viewed by critics as a process of normalization that grants implicit legitimacy to the current regime in exchange for migration control.

此外，人道主義背景增加了遣返的可行性複雜度。聯合國數據顯示，約 40% 的阿富汗人口面臨糧食不安全，且從伊朗和巴基斯坦返回的人員報告了任意拘留與酷刑。批評者認為，包括可能恢復領事服務在內的外交和解，是一個將其「正常化」的過程，是以移民控制為交換條件，賦予現有政權隱含的合法性。

The EU continues to pursue deportation agreements with the Taliban despite ongoing humanitarian crises and widespread condemnation from human rights advocates.

儘管人道危機持續且人權倡議者廣泛譴責，歐盟仍繼續追求與塔利班達成遣返協議。
