Abstract

This study explores the international legal status of Afghan ambassadors representing a defunct government and the complexities it entails for diplomatic recognition and authority. It focuses on clarifying how Afghan embassies function without a chain of command after the collapse of the previous government. The paper emphasizes the diplomatic actions of Afghan embassies in countries like the USA and India, as well as their engagement with international organizations such as the United Nations. It also discusses the challenges faced by diplomats representing a dissolved government and examines the diplomatic engagement of the Taliban. The study concludes by presenting the current scenario of diplomatic relations in Afghanistan, considering the unique challenges faced by the defunct government's representatives. Lastly, it delves into the concept of virtual embassies and consulates and their relevance in the modern diplomatic landscape.
