The court ruling states that the victims of September 11th do not have the right to seize the assets of the Central Bank of Afghanistan.
A court in the United States has ruled that the victims of the September 11th attacks do not have the right to seize billions of dollars of assets from the Central Bank of Afghanistan in order to enforce judgments obtained in court against the Taliban.
Judge George Daniels of the Federal District Court in Manhattan, New York, said that he cannot rule based on the constitution that the Taliban was the legitimate government of Afghanistan, which was a condition for seizing assets belonging to the Central Bank of Afghanistan.
According to Reuters, this decision is a setback for four groups of creditors, including Al-Qaeda, who were held accountable for the September 11th attacks. After these groups refrained from appearing in court, judgments were issued against them for defaulting on their debts.
According to Reuters, Judge Daniels also relied on the findings of Judge Sarah Netburn, who recommended last August that creditors cannot collect their debts from the assets of the Central Bank of Afghanistan.
