Taliban's "Charter of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan": a draft of a Taliban charter consisting of a list of rules, intended as a guide for the potential future governance of Afghanistan. It looks very similar to those of the former Taliban regime (1996-2001). 1/2

According to the document, final decisions in all affairs are made by the emir, and the Islamic Emirate is not obliged to implement United Nations laws that are in contravention of Islamic values. #Afghanistan https://twitter.com/Natsecjeff/status/1249780317440954368
The charter says that free speech, human rights & civil rights are to be implemented within the framework of Islamic teachings. Throughout the charter, the authority of the ulema council and its interpretation of Islamic sharia law is firmly established. https://twitter.com/Natsecjeff/status/1249780400987295745
the language of the charter suggests that executive leaders will not be decided through an election but rather by way of the Ahl al-hall wal-aqd – "the people of losing and binding," a term in political Islam that gives authority to a group qualified to appoint or remove a leader
The draft of the charter also states that the emir has the "full authority" to select or remove any member of the Islamic emirate and "no one has the right to violate his decision." A new emir can also be selected by the choice of the outgoing emir. https://twitter.com/Natsecjeff/status/1249780317440954368
Do note that pro-Taliban sources have largely denied this document. But rest assured it does exist and most demands in there are what I'd expect from the Taliban. #Afghanistan https://twitter.com/Natsecjeff/status/1249780317440954368?s=19
