| Conference on the Rule of Law in Afghanistan |
|
 |
| It has been more than five years since the international community committed itself to Afghanistan and major results have been achieved, such that the reconstruction of the country appears to have reached a new phase.
It is widely accepted that the sustainability of Afghanistan’s institutions is not only linked closely to continuing with national economic and social reconstruction but also to tangible progress in establishing the rule of law. In other words, development and security for the Afghan people cannot be achieved unless they can see reasonable prospects for the further consolidation of governance, particularly in the field of the administration of Justice. |
