The government of Afghanistan, officially called the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and informally known as the Taliban government, is the central government of Afghanistan, a unitary state. Under the leadership of the Taliban, the government is a theocracy and an emirate with political power concentrated in the hands of a supreme leader and his clerical advisors, collectively referred to as the Leadership. The Leadership makes all major policy decisions behind closed doors, which are then implemented by the country's civil service and judiciary. As Afghanistan is an Islamic state, governance is based on Sharia law and Pashtunwali, which the Taliban enforces strictly through extensive social and cultural policies.

Contents

Over its history, Afghanistan has variously been governed as a monarchy, a republic, and a theocracy. The current theocratic government came to power in 2021 with the United States-led coalition's withdrawal after a twenty-year insurgency against the Western-backed Islamic Republic, after having itself been ousted in 2001.

The current government is internationally unrecognized and lacks a clear constitutional basis, though the Taliban announced plans in January 2022 to form a constitutional commission. Instead, the government applies an interpretation of Sharia law. There is no separation of powers, with total authority vested in the Leadership. [1] [2] The government is criticized by international observers for totalitarianism, [3] systemic human rights violations, as well as for being unaccountable, opaque, and exclusive of women, religious and ethnic minorities, and those with dissenting views. Since coming to power, it has grappled with an economic crisis, international isolation, terrorism and rebellion, and a string of natural disasters.

Leadership of the Islamic Emirate

Supreme Leader

The supreme leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is the head-of-state, commander-in-chief, and religious leader of Afghanistan. [4] These responsibilities include appointing and dismissing the cabinet, judiciary, armed forces general staff, [5] and provincial and municipal governments, issuing decrees, special instructions, and orders regulating the operations of those mentioned above. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] The supreme leader also approves or vetos laws drafted by cabinet ministries, after they are vetted by the Ministry of Justice and a review committee for compliance with Islamic law. [12] Supreme leaders have all served life terms, with their deputies appointed by the Leadership Council to succeed them.

The supreme leader is advised by an advisory council of four to six individuals on appointments, national security, and domestic and religious policy, which form an advisory committee. These individuals have the final say on all policy decisions. [13]

Deputy Leader(s)

The deputy leader(s) of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is the deputy head-of-state and is appointed by the supreme leader for an indefinite term. The deputy leader serves as acting top leader when the former is incapacitated or otherwise unavailable to execute their duties. [14] However, there can be more than two deputy leaders, [15] [16] as was the case with Akhtar Mansoor promoting Haibatullah Akhundzada and Sirajuddin Haqqani to the positions. By norm, the first deputy leader succeeds the supreme leader upon death.

Leadership Council

The Leadership Council of Afghanistan (also known as the Supreme Council) [17] is an advisory council to the Supreme Leader. The council is the supreme governing body of the Taliban and the Government of the Islamic Emirate. It functions under a consensus decision-making model, and is chaired by the supreme leader. The Leadership Council appoints the supreme leader in the event of a vacancy. The supreme leader convenes and chairs the council at his sole discretion. He has ultimate authority and may override or circumvent it at any time. [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] The leadership council consists of thirty members. [24]

Ulema Council of Kandahar

The Ulema Council of Kandahar, or Kandahar Provincial Council, is the de facto ruling and executive oversight body of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Despite being officially responsible for advising and overseeing the Kandahar provincial government, it also approves and disapproves all decisions made by the Kabul-based Council of Ministers. [25] [13] [26]

All its members are ulema native to or residents of Kandahar province. The supreme leader appoints all 24 members, with the council itself is presided over by a chairman and deputy chairman and being assisted by a financial and administrative director. [25] [13]

Council of Ulema (national)

The Council of Ulema [27] or Ulema Shura [28] is the highest religious authority in Afghanistan. It is responsible for ensuring all policies by the executive conform to Sharia and can overrule decisions made by the Council of Ministers. [29] Other responsibilities include the appointment, removal or replacement, and giving of allegiance, to the Supreme Leader. [30] [31]

Central Dar ul-Ifta

The General Directorate of the Central Dar ul-Ifta [32] [33] is responsible for issuing fatwas on various issues. [34] It functions as a religious judicial body, [35] allowed to make quasi-binding decisions on multiple topics its scholars deem to be in line with Islamic Law. [26] Its director is appointed and dismissed by the supreme leader.

Executive

Prime minister

The prime minister, along with the cabinet, is appointed and dismissed by the supreme leader for an undefined term.

Deputy Prime Ministers

The deputy prime ministers of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan are the appointed deputy heads of government, responsible for presiding overseeing the work of designated ministries and agencies who’ve been subordinated to the former [39] and presiding over the Council of Ministers in the prime minister's absence or incapacity. [40] Deputy prime ministers are also assigned specialized portfolios since 2021, overseeing technical commissions addressing critical issues. [41] [42] [43]

Like the prime minister and cabinet, the deputy prime ministers are appointed and dismissed by the supreme leader for an undefined term.

Council of Ministers

The council of ministers of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is the cabinet. It comprises 26 ministries [44] whose agency executives administer the civil service and are overseen by the Prime Minister.

The ruling Taliban has maintained a strict Hanafi-only approach, ignoring enumeration of international rights, that bears greater similarity to Iran and its "Ja'fari only" jurisprudential stance than countries like Pakistan which follow a non-exclusive parliamentary approach to Islamic law. Whilst opposing codification, in the past, the Taliban written policy has instructed judiciary to consult the Mecelle, a late Ottoman codification of Hanafi Mu'amalat, in matters of civil law.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Recognition of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan</span> International relations of Afghanistans Taliban government

The Taliban has ruled Afghanistan as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan since taking control by force in 2021, overthrowing the internationally recognized Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. The takeover was widely criticized by the international community, and no countries have extended de jure diplomatic recognition to the new regime, despite nominally maintaining relations with Afghanistan. The Taliban has campaigned for international recognition since the takeover. Several countries have vowed never to recognize the Islamic Emirate, and others have said they will do so only if human rights in the country are respected. Some countries have accredited Taliban diplomats at the chargé d'affaires level despite not recognizing the Islamic Emirate. In September 2023, the People's Republic of China became the first country to formally name a new ambassador to the country since the takeover, and in January 2024 recognized the Taliban's envoy to China; however, the PRC still does not formally recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan. The United Arab Emirates also accepted a Taliban appointed diplomat as Afghanistan's new ambassador in August 2024.

The politics of Afghanistan are based on a totalitarian emirate within the Islamic theocracy in which the Taliban Movement holds a monopoly on power. Dissent is not permitted, and politics are mostly limited to internal Taliban policy debates and power struggles. As the government is provisional, there is no constitution or other basis for the rule of law. The structure is autocratic, with all power concentrated in the hands of the supreme leader and his clerical advisors. According to the V-Dem Democracy indices Afghanistan was as of 2023 the 4th least electoral democratic country in the world.
