Topic: Afghan Transitional Administration

	FOR THE RECORD 2003
		The Transitional Administration has urged donor Governments to meet the level of pledges made in Brussels by increasing the level of their contributions to the Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund, the primary channel for donor funding to the national development budget.
		Afghan women are keenly aware that their participation in the upcoming political processes of the Constitutional Loya Jirga and national election is critical.
		The Transitional Administration is aware that in order to further extend its authority it needs to send a strong signal to the effect that insubordination and corruption within its ranks will not be tolerated and that its officials will be held accountable for their actions.

	Foreign Policy In Focus Policy Report: The War In Iraq Is Not Over and Neither Are The Lies To Justify It
		The purpose of DDR in the Afghan context is not to remove the gun from Afghan society, an unrealistic goal, but, as Japan's special representative for DDR, Kenji Isezaki, has stated, to oversee the "deconstruction of military formations" (Institute for War and Peace Reporting, August 27, 2003).
		Afghan officials, eager not to be seen as too critical of the new U.S. approach, have insisted that Khalizad must not have the same sweeping powers accorded to Paul Bremer in Iraq.
		Millions of Afghan children, including girls, have returned to school; 2.32 million Afghan refugees have been repatriated, one of the largest voluntary refugee influxes in history; a new currency, the Afghani, has been established and remains remarkably stable; and the economy has grown by 28%.

		Afghans would now be able to speak freely, read newspapers of their choice, and organize private and professional associations.

	ECRE Position Papers - GUIDELINES FOR THE TREATMENT OF AFGHAN ASYLUM SEEKERS & REFUGEES IN EUROPE
		This paper concerns the voluntary repatriation of Afghans who have refugee or complementary protection status, those with temporary protection status and those who are in the process of applying for protection, including those who have received a negative first decision and have appealed.
		Despite the establishment of an Afghan Transitional Administration, the ratification of a new constitution and the beginning of reconstruction efforts by the international community, the security situation in Afghanistan remains extremely serious.
		Afghans who despite all of these factors fail to be granted refugee or a form of complementary status cannot be returned and should be granted a legal status which affords them their human rights and a dignified standard of living in the host country.

	Untitled Document
		The bureaucratic public administration of the country-which used to be conducted according to fixed rules and procedures, within clearly established hierarchy, in line with clearly demarcated responsibility, by professional and experienced civil servants acting as occupiers of particular public offices rather than in their personal capacity-has been wrecked and ravaged.
		The idea of a transitional political arrangement aimed at fixing the rules and duration of the transition to a democratic system of government is stranger and unacceptable to them, because none of them may be looking forward to retaining any position of power in the future democracy.
		Afghans are prepared to face the danger and to take the risk provided, however, that the International Community simultaneously takes in charge its own share of the burden.

	Foreign Policy In Focus Policy Report: Afghan Women Continue to Fend for Themselves
		Despite the inhospitable atmosphere Afghan women faced at the convention, the constitution is being touted by the Bush administration as an indication of the arrival of democracy in Afghanistan.
		Afghan women are still useful tools for U.S. feminists to employ in their public relations campaigns, especially on the eve of International Women's Day.
		In addition to ignoring the reality of Afghan women's lives outside Kabul, the UAWC is a convenient showpiece of the Bush administration's self-described “commitment to Afghan women,” and is consistent with the historical and current consequences of U.S. actions toward Afghan women.

		On the surface, Karzai's speech is intended as a threat to the warlords -- politely referred to by the Afghan authorities as "regional leaders" or "commanders." He is signaling that the patience of the central authority is running thin.
		The fact that Ata Mohammad has decided to retain his command of Army Corps No. 7, a unit that is to be dismantled by Dostum, would place the two rivals in further conflict.
		The Kabul daily also criticized the Afghan Transitional Administration for its failure to take steps to "permanently resolve these feuds through negotiations," noting that both men are official representatives of the Kabul administration.

		It is also important that we together assist the Administration to establish a guiding framework which will liberate the dedication of civil society organisations, will encourage the entrepreneurial spirit of the private sector, and will devolve responsibility to local authorities, all to work in the best interests of the Afghan child.
		In our various efforts to help Afghans through the Interim Administration, we are of course working with many partners, national and international, governmental and non-governmental and within the UN system.

	Afghan Transitional Government should improve women's rights, Annan says
		Afghan electoral processes should be monitored closely "to make certain that women are able to register, participate fully and support special measures that would guarantee that they are represented in local, provincial and national government positions," Mr.
		According to the report, prevailing insecurity in Afghanistan and the increasing incidence of sexual violence threaten to reverse gains made by women and girls, who are often afraid to leave their homes for school or work out of fear that they might be kidnapped or raped.
		The Secretary-General suggests that the Transitional Administration be encouraged to ensure that the police and military are trained in gender issues and uphold human rights, "especially in response to human rights abuses, including domestic and sexual violence."

	WomenWatch: Afghan Women
		Despite many years of severe and institutionalized gender discrimination and gender-based violence in Afghanistan, it is only very recently that the situation of the women in Afghanistan is receiving world attention, and that Afghan women's right to the full enjoyment of fundamental human rights and freedoms is being recognized widely.
		On 14 November 2001, the Security Council adopted resolution 1378 calling for Afghans to establish a transitional administration leading to the formation of a government which should be broad-based, multi-ethnic and fully representative and respect the human rights of all Afghan people, regardless of gender, ethnicity or religion.
		During the past weeks, the UN has developed a fast moving strategic framework in order to be able to deliver humanitarian aid, to stabilize the country and to ensure that no final decisions are taken without the participation of all parties in the negotiations, including women.

		Given the enormous complexity of the balloting, voting, and vote-counting processes, the generally smooth administration and conclusion of these elections were considerable achievements.

		Diplomatic niceties notwithstanding, Afghan officials are also upset about attacks perpetrated by the Taliban or their supporters "who are widely believed to be orchestrating a campaign from Pakistan to destabilize" the Afghan Transitional Administration, according to "The New York Times" on 23 April.
		An unidentified Afghan Foreign Ministry official said prior to Karzai's visit to Islamabad that "Pakistan can and should be doing more to stop the infiltration and they should be more serious about the Taliban who are actively operational," the New York daily reported.
		The issue of Pakistani support for the Taliban might not be something that is sanctioned by Musharraf or his administration, but goes deep into the Pakistani military-intelligence community that has had a longstanding relationship with the ousted Afghan regime.
