Unhcr-Richtlinien Zur Feststellung Des Internationalen Schutzbedarfs Afghanischer Asylsuchender UNHCR-RICHTLINIEN ZUR FESTSTELLUNG DES INTERNATIONALEN SCHUTZBEDARFS AFGHANISCHER ASYLSUCHENDER Der Hohe Flüchtlingskommissar der Vereinten Nationen (UNHCR) 30. August 2018 HCR/EG/AFG/18/02 VORBEMERKUNG Die UNHCR-Richtlinien werden vom Büro des Hohen Flüchtlingskommissars herausgegeben, um Entscheidungsträger wie Regierungen, nichtstaatliche Beratungsstellen sowie UNHCR-Mitarbeiter dabei zu unterstützen, die internationalen Schutzbedürfnisse von Asylsuchenden zu beurteilen. Die Richtlinien helfen bei der rechtlichen Auslegung der Kriterien der Flüchtlingseigenschaft durch die Einschätzung der sozialen, politischen, wirtschaftlichen und humanitären Bedingungen sowie der Sicherheits- und Menschenrechtslage im betreffenden Herkunftsland. Die entsprechenden internationalen Schutzbedürfnisse werden detailliert analysiert. Zudem werden Empfehlungen dahingehend abgegeben, wie die in Frage stehenden Anträge in Übereinstimmung mit den relevanten Prinzipien und Kriterien des Flüchtlingsrechts – insbesondere der UNHCR-Satzung, des Abkommens von 1951 über die Rechtsstellung der Flüchtlinge und dem dazugehörigen Protokoll von 1967 sowie relevanten regionalen Instrumenten wie beispielsweise der Erklärung von Cartagena über Flüchtlinge von 1984, der OAU-Konvention von 1969 zur Regelung der besonderen Aspekte der Flüchtlingsprobleme in Afrika und der EU-Qualifikationsrichtlinie – entschieden werden sollten. Die Empfehlungen können sich gegebenenfalls auch auf komplementäre oder subsidiäre Schutzformen beziehen. UNHCR veröffentlicht diese Richtlinien im Rahmen seiner ihm gemäß Artikel 8 der Satzung in Verbindung mit Artikel 35 der Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention und Artikel II des dazugehörigen Protokolls von 1967 übertragenen Zuständigkeit, die korrekte Auslegung und Anwendung der oben genannten Flüchtlingskriterien zu fördern, und auf Grundlage der langjährigen Expertise in Angelegenheiten, die im Zusammenhang mit der Schutzberechtigung und der Bestimmung des Flüchtlingsstatus stehen. Es wird erwartet, dass die in dieser Richtlinie enthaltenen Positionen und Leitlinien bei der Entscheidung über Asylanträge von den Behörden und Gerichten sorgfältig berücksichtigt werden. Die Richtlinien basieren auf detaillierten Recherchen, Berichten von Länderbüros des globalen UNHCR-Netzwerkes, Informationen von unabhängigen Länderexperten und -wissenschaftlern sowie anderen Quellen, die gründlich auf ihre Zuverlässigkeit überprüft wurden. Die Richtlinien sind auf der UNHCR-Website http://www.refworld.org abrufbar. Inhaltsverzeichnis I.

  • The Politics of Disarmament and Rearmament in Afghanistan
    [PEACEW RKS [ THE POLITICS OF DISARMAMENT AND REARMAMENT IN AFGHANISTAN Deedee Derksen ABOUT THE REPORT This report examines why internationally funded programs to disarm, demobilize, and reintegrate militias since 2001 have not made Afghanistan more secure and why its society has instead become more militarized. Supported by the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) as part of its broader program of study on the intersection of political, economic, and conflict dynamics in Afghanistan, the report is based on some 250 interviews with Afghan and Western officials, tribal leaders, villagers, Afghan National Security Force and militia commanders, and insurgent commanders and fighters, conducted primarily between 2011 and 2014. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Deedee Derksen has conducted research into Afghan militias since 2006. A former correspondent for the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant, she has since 2011 pursued a PhD on the politics of disarmament and rearmament of militias at the War Studies Department of King’s College London. She is grateful to Patricia Gossman, Anatol Lieven, Mike Martin, Joanna Nathan, Scott Smith, and several anonymous reviewers for their comments and to everyone who agreed to be interviewed or helped in other ways.

  • Campaign Trail 2010 (2): Baghlan - Divided We Stand
    Campaign Trail 2010 (2): Baghlan - Divided we Stand Author : Fabrizio Foschini Published: 7 July 2010 Downloaded: 7 September 2018 Download URL: https://www.afghanistan-analysts.org/campaign-trail-2010-2-baghlan-divided-we-stand/?format=pdf Situated in a central position crossed by some of the most strategic road connections of the country, Baghlan province shows a high level of social and political fragmentation. The growing instability of the province does not bode well for the oncoming elections, and forecasts future problems for the government and the international forces in the area. With a total of 118 candidates (including 12 women) for just 8 seats in the Wolesi Jirga – only Kabul and Laghman have a similarly high proportion of contenders – Baghlan inhabitants could be easily mistaken for a population of election enthusiasts. However, these high numbers seem to reflect more the fault lines splitting local communities and political groups, which prevented the most basics accords between candidates to take place (*). Looking at past elections, high numbers of candidates are not a new development for Baghlan. In the parliamentary elections of 2005 there were 106, and the number of participants to last year’s provincial council elections is even more striking, reaching 193 candidates for the 15 seats body. Baghlan has been characterized for decades by a high number of different factions struggling to control this rich region’s economic assets and communication links and this is also reflected in the electoral competition. Baghlan is a rich province, with a flourishing agriculture blessed by the water resources of the Baghlan-Kunduz river system and by proximity and good road connections to markets like Kabul and Mazar-e Sharif.

Mortars, IEDs, gunfire and other explosives destroyed human life, stole limbs and ruined lives at unprecedented levels. The thousands of Afghan children, women and men killed and injured in 2014 attest to failures to protect civilians from harm. All parties must uphold the values they claim to defend and make protecting civilians their first priority.” Nicholas Haysom, United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Afghanistan, December 2014, Kabul “This annual report shows once again the unacceptable price that the conflict is exacting on the civilian population in Afghanistan.

The Chair of the Council of Inspectors General for Integrity and Efficiency designated the DoD Inspector General (IG) as the Lead IG for Operation Freedom’s Sentinel (OFS). The DoS IG is the Associate IG for the operation. The USAID IG participates in oversight of the operation. The Offices of Inspector General (OIG) of the DoD, the DoS, and USAID are referred to in this report as the Lead IG agencies. Other partner agencies also contribute to oversight of OFS.
