Families of 9/11 victims denied access to $3.5B fund belonging to the Afghan people as US judge rules that he is 'constitutionally restrained' from recognising the Taliban government's legitimacy
Daniels wrote in a 30-page ruling that he is"constitutionally restrained" from recognising the Taliban's legitimacy.
US District Judge George Daniels in the Southern District of New York said that the funds cannot be granted to satisfy outstanding judgments against the Taliban because doing so would effectively recognise the hard-line group as Afghanistan's legitimate government. President Joe Biden on February 11, 2022 issued an executive order that mandated frozen funds in Afghanistan's central bank, known as Da Afghanistan Bank, subject to US jurisdiction "be used to benefit the Afghan people."
Daniels wrote in a 30-page ruling issued on Tuesday that he is "constitutionally restrained" from recognising the Taliban's legitimacy, which he would have to do before assigning the funds to the four groups seeking the funds.
