Afghanistan Afghan National Police r) ending unlawful killings by the police should be a priority. To that end, there should be a concerted effort to reform the police: - human rights training, while important, will not be sufficient to prevent abuses that are driven by the links between police officers and particular tribes, commanders, and politicians. These links must be broken in order to establish a national police force that serves and protects the entire community - continued efforts to reconstruct the police force as a truly national and professional force are vital. The "focused district development" training should be strongly supported; - all efforts to supplement the police by establishing or legitimizing local militias should be abandoned No translation available yet - check source document

Afghanistan IMF responses to civilian casualties r) the international forces should ensure that, despite the complexity of multiple mandates and disparate national criminal justice systems, any directly affected person can go to a military base and promptly receive information on who was responsible for a particular operation, or what the status is of any investigation or prosecution. To this end: - where the actions of soldiers are investigated or prosecuted within the troop‑sending country, the progress of national processes of investigation, discipline and prosecution should be reported back to ISAF headquarters in Afghanistan - the progress and outcomes of national processes of investigation or prosecution should be centrally tracked by ISAF - this information should be made available to the various regional commands, to the Provincial Reconstruction Teams under their command, and provided to directly affected persons when requested No translation available yet - check source document

Afghanistan Afghan National Police r) impunity for killings by police must be urgently addressed: - the interminable dragging out of government investigations and inquiries into alleged police killings until such episodes are effectively forgotten reinforces impunity.

Afghanistan The Government has undertaken a number of legal and institutional initiatives to meet its human rights obligations and to address the situation of women and girls in the country, despite the continued political, economic, social and developmental challenges. Political commitments to protect and promote human rights continue to be highlighted through the Bonn process, the Kabul Conference, the Tokyo Conference and, most recently, the 2014 London Conference. However, these commitments have not translated into concrete improvements in the lives of the majority of women, who remain marginalized, discriminated against and at high risk of being subjected to violence. In light of the above, the Special Rapporteur would like to reiterate and expand on key recommendations made by her predecessors in 1999 and 2005, many of which remain relevant today.
