Thank you President. I join others in thanking SRSG Otunbayeva, Executive Director Sima Bahous and Karima Bennoune for your briefings. Twenty-two years on since Kofi Annan's Nobel speech, which the SRSG referenced, and over two years since the Taliban's seizure of power, our dominant concern remains the Taliban's systematic assault on the rights of women and girls continues. There have been over 50 decrees curtailing women's ability to participate in public, political, economic and social life and barring girls from secondary schools and higher education.
