Abstract
Despite American-mediated efforts, the prolonged Taliban-Afghan government-U.S. negotiations in Doha failed. Shortly afterward, on August 15, 2021, the Taliban seized control of Kabul, marking the beginning of its second controversial term in power.

The critical question now is: "Should the Taliban government, which came to power under these conditions, be recognized by the international community?" This study examines the potential dangers and risks that recognizing the Taliban could pose for Afghanistan and the global community. In particular, it addresses the Taliban's stance on human rights and its approach to counterterrorism. The findings indicate that, although the Taliban exercises effective control over Afghanistan, it will not be recognized by the international community until it adheres to principles such as human rights protection, countering international terrorism, and establishing an inclusive government.
