1. Describe the global humanitarian crisis you chose and the decisions that were made from the standpoint of global economics or global justice. 2. What was the impact of these decisions? 3. Do you believe the decisions were ethical in this situation? Why, or why not? The crisis in Afghanistan has been going on for nearly four decades. Political instability conflict and the rise of the Taliban is just the surface of what is happening in Afghanistan. Before 2021, 18 million people required aid, including more than 3 million children, and now 24 million people need help. Not only did COVID-19 kill about 200,000 Afghani people, it highlighted the poor healthcare system and the lack of adequate water and sanitation facilities in Afghanistan. In June 2022, a 5.9 magnitude earthquake hit southeast Afghanistan, killing 1000 people, destroying homes, and leaving more people needing aid. Afghanistan has the world’s largest refugee crisis with one in ten people being a refugee. Experience the worst drought in decades with the danger of famine. The withdrawal of international troops and the Taliban’s takeover had immediate and far-reaching consequences-displacement of civilians, surge in violence, and deterioration of human rights, particularly women and children. The withdrawal of troops aimed at ending a prolonged military intervention, but the subsequent Taliban resurgence raised concerns about the impact on human rights and stability. Decisions related to providing humanitarian aid and recognizing the Taliban government involved ethical dilemmas. Balancing the imperative to help the Afghan people with concerns about supporting a regime with a history of human rights violations posed challenges for the global community.
