Since the Taliban took power in Afghanistan in August last year, more than 100 killings of former government workers have been carried out, according to some allegations considered credible by the United Nations.
More than two-thirds of the killings are suspected to have been committed by de facto authorities and their collaborators, according to an internal report by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, provided by the dpa news agency.
The jihadists of the so-called Islamic State are suspected of having committed more than 50 murders.
The United Nations has said the allegations are plausible after being accepted by a UN mission in the country since August last year.
A number of human rights activists and journalists have also faced “attacks, harassment, arbitrary arrests, ill-treatment and murder” in recent months, the report said.
The UN has said eight members of civil society and two media workers have been killed by the Taliban, Islamists or unknown assailants.
Guterres said the difficult socio-economic situation in Afghanistan could be overcome if the Taliban did not remain isolated internationally, and said it was important to establish a constructive dialogue with de facto leaders.
He has proposed a new structure for the UN presence in Afghanistan, through which political development and humanitarian aid would be coordinated.
