22 nations, including many of EU countries, called on the Taliban to apply the amnesty for ex security personnel. Western nations, directed by the United States, on Saturday blasted the Taliban over "summary killings" and forced disappearances of former members of the Afghan security forces reported by rights groups.
This comes a week after Human Rights 25-page report documenting the killing or kidnapping of ex-military personnel.
"We are deeply concerned by reports of summary killings and enforced disappearances of former members of the Afghan security forces as documented by Human Rights Watch and others," read a joint statement by 22 nations, including the US, France, Germany, and Japan.
"We underline that the alleged actions constitute serious human rights abuses and contradict the Taliban's announced amnesty," the group said, adding that the reported cases should be investigated "promptly and in a transparent manner."
The Taliban came to power in Afghanistan in August as the US-backed government collapsed following a withdrawal of foreign troops.
The militant group proclaimed an amnesty for former members of the Afghan National Security Forces who had either surrendered or been apprehended between mid-August and October.
"We will continue to measure the Taliban by their actions," the group of nations said.
Rights abuse in Afghanistan
Afghanistan's new Government have been seeking international recognition for their rule.
The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the Taliban's desire for recognition is possible for countries, if they want to press for respect for human rights in Afghanistan.
Human Rights Watch said in its report that after taking over, the Taliban leadership directed surrendering security personnel to register with authorities to receive a letter guaranteeing their safety.
