Notes
[edit]- ^ Although Afghanistan is a member of the United Nations, no other member state officially recognizes its de facto government, the Islamic Emirate. The Islamic Emirate's emblem is therefore displayed on this list alongside the emblem of the UN-recognized government of Afghanistan, the Islamic Republic.
