Russia’s New Law Could Remove Taliban from Terrorist List

Russia’s parliament has passed a law that could change how it treats groups labelled as terrorist organizations.

Russia’s terrorist designation law legislation allows courts to suspend the “terrorist” designation of groups, which may reshape Moscow’s foreign relations, especially with the Afghan Taliban and entities in Syria.

The State Duma, Russia’s lower house, approved this law, establishing a legal framework for removing groups from Russia’s banned “terrorist” list. If a group stops its terrorist-related activities, Russia’s Prosecutor General petitions a court to remove the designation.

The Taliban added to Russia’s terrorist list in February 2003, might be among the first affected by this law. However, this removal would not mean official recognition of the Taliban’s government, the “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,” which no country recognizes. Discussions are also underway in Moscow about removing the Syrian group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which has recently been involved in significant political changes in Syria, from the terrorist list.

This legislative change aligns with Russia’s strategy to maintain influence in regions like the Middle East and Afghanistan, where security and military interests are significant. Despite political changes, such as the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria and the evolving situation in Afghanistan, where the Taliban is combating the Islamic State presence, Russia aims to keep its military presence in these areas.

The law also reflects Russia’s complex history with Afghanistan, where Soviet forces fought from 1979 to 1989. Today, Russia sees stabilizing Afghanistan as crucial for regional security and preventing the spread of extremist groups that could threaten Russian territories.

The new law represents a significant shift in Russia’s approach to groups previously designated as terrorists. It suggests a potential thaw in relations with certain organizations, which could lead to substantial geopolitical changes, particularly in how Russia manages its strategic interests in turbulent regions.
