Hakimi, 2014-16 Hadley Rose, 2013-14 Taylor Strickling, 2012-13 ii PREFACE & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Stanford Law School's Afghanistan Legal Education Project (ALEP) began in the fall of 2007 as a student-initiated program dedicated to helping Afghan universities train the next generation of Afghan lawyers. ALEP’s mandate is to research, write, and publish high-quality legal textbooks, and to develop a degree-granting law program at the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF). The AUAF Law Department faculty and Stanford Law School students develop curriculum under the guidance of ALEP’s Faculty Director and Executive Director with significant input from Afghan scholars and practitioners. In addition to An Introduction to the Laws of Afghanistan (4th Edition), ALEP has published introductory textbooks about: Commercial Law of Afghanistan (2nd Edition); Criminal Law of Afghanistan (2nd Edition); Constitutional Law of Afghanistan (2nd Edition); International Law for Afghanistan (1st Edition); Law of Obligations of Afghanistan (1st Edition); Property Law of Afghanistan (1st Edition); and An Introduction to Legal Ethics in Afghanistan (1st Edition). Textbooks addressing Legal Methods: Thinking Like a Lawyer, Legal Methods: Legal Practice, and new versions of Public International Law and Commercial Law are forthcoming. Many of the ALEP textbooks have been translated into the native Dari and Pashto languages and are available for free at alep.stanford.edu. Additionally, ALEP has published professional translations of the Afghan Civil Code and Afghan Commercial Code, and business guides authored by Afghan students in the business law clinic. All are available on ALEP’s website. ALEP would like to acknowledge the individuals and institutions that have made the entire project possible. ALEP benefits from generous and dynamic support from the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) at the U.S. Department of State. Current Stanford Law School Dean Elizabeth Magill, former Dean Larry Kramer, and Deborah Zumwalt, General Counsel of Stanford University and member of AUAF’s Board of Trustees, have provided important continuing support to ALEP. ALEP’s partnership has deepened over the last ten years with AUAF’s extraordinarily supportive leadership: Dr. Sharif Fayez (Founder), Dr. Kenneth Holland (President), David Sedney (former President), Dr. Mark English (former President), Dr. Michael Smith (former President), and AUAF’s Board of Trustees. As with all ALEP textbooks, the content of An Introduction to the Laws of Afghanistan (4th Edition) is the product of extensive collaboration. We thank the ALEP authors: Kristina Alekseyeva, Stephanie Birndorf, Joe DeMott, Shannon Galvin, Mehdi J. Hakimi, Juan Pablo Perez-Sangimino, Tara Rangchi, and Michael Talent for their work researching, drafting, and revising the chapters. Ghizaal Haress, AUAF Professor and Chair of Law Department, was instrumental in providing the initial insights and structure for the book and subsequent review of the materials. Rohullah Azizi, ALEP Curriculum Advisor, provided substantial guidance and feedback to the students throughout the process. Rolando Garcia Miron, ALEP Program Advisor, played a key role in supporting the entire team on programmatic aspects of the project. Finally, Mehdi J. Hakimi, Executive Director of the Rule of Law Program, deserves special acknowledgment for the innumerable tasks both large and small that he undertook in shepherding this textbook from inception to completion. ALEP looks forward to continuing the collaboration that made this book possible. Please share your feedback with us on our website, alep.stanford.edu.

The 2004 constitution ushered in a wave of legal and regulatory reforms in the country. Key legal institutions have been revamped and new bodies, such as the Afghanistan Independent Bar Association, have been established. Numerous laws and regulations have been passed at an unprecedented rate. Afghanistan has entered into an increasing number of agreements with regional partners. The country has also joined major international bodies such as the World Trade Organization. These recent legal developments necessitate a fresh and critical examination. This book is designed to provide you with an introduction to the laws of Afghanistan. You will acquire a solid general foundation in key legal concepts which will be helpful in your subsequent studies in law. In addition to increasing your knowledge of legal concepts, you will understand how the law impacts your daily life. This book will also emphasize the importance of thinking critically about new ideas and legal issues, which will be a crucial skill in your studies and professional career. Rather than passively reading the concepts, you will learn to critically analyze and evaluate new concepts and the law. This book is replete with examples, case studies, discussion questions, and other instructional tools to help you better understand the materials. You will have ample opportunities to apply newly acquired knowledge to various exercises. Moreover, through comparative cases and examples, you will learn about other legal systems and approaches. This comparative perspective is important as Afghanistan becomes increasingly connected to the wider global community. The chapters in the book build on each other. Before starting our discussion of Afghan law, you will learn some fundamental and preliminary legal concepts which will be revisited in subsequent chapters. Next, you will learn about the sources of Afghan law as well as Afghanistan’s legal history. We will also examine Afghanistan’s major legal institutions under the current constitution. Moreover, you will be introduced to Afghanistan’s substantive laws and procedural laws. While the entire book contains many instructional tools to enhance critical thinking, the final chapter will delve deeper in improving this foundational skill. Let’s look a bit more closely at what each chapter will entail. Chapter Two begins with some key preliminary topics in law. It introduces the concept of “law” and its importance. You will learn how law is different from other types of rules such as morality and social norms. You will also learn about the similarities and overlap among these notions. Moreover, you will be introduced to the types of behavior governed by law; laws may require a person do something, forbid a person from doing something, or simply describe something without any mandatory or prohibitory aspect. You will also be introduced to two broad categories of law – substantive laws and procedural laws – which will be explored further in subsequent chapters. A key feature of law is enforceability by government which will be discussed as well. Law serves two important purposes: promoting order and promoting justice. You will learn about these two key objectives of law and how they may sometimes conflict with each other. You will also become familiar with a number of other core legal concepts that will be revisited throughout the book. A major distinction is made between rights and obligations. While a right is something that a person is legally entitled to have, an obligation is something that a person is legally required to do or not to do. Moreover, you will learn how law distinguishes between two types of persons: natural and legal persons. A natural person is a human being. A legal person is an abstract, non-physical entity that can have rights and obligations. You will also learn the related but different concepts

Introduction: Overview of the legal and institutional framework of Afghanistan in the context of implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan signed the Convention on 20 February 2004 and ratified it on 25 August 2008. The legal system of Afghanistan is civil law based with a notable role of sharia law. According to article 3 of the Constitution of Afghanistan no law can contrive the principles of sharia. The Convention is placed high in the hierarchy of the sources of law in Afghanistan. International law conventions are ranked as the third source of law below the Constitution and sharia law. During the review process Afghanistan reported that many identified challenges related to the implementation of chapter III and chapter IV of the Convention were being addressed in newly developed draft legislation, as referenced in the country report, which was positively noted by the reviewing experts.

Conceptualisation of Honour Codes Amongst Turkish-Kurdish Mothers and Daughters Living in London1 By Ferya Tas-Cifci2 Abstract The present study analyses how immigrant women transfer and preserve their traditional honour codes, and whether women from different generations (mothers and their daughters) adhere to the same codes. Focusing particularly on the Turkish-Kurdish community living in London3, the study asks, ‘How traditional honour codes are conceptualised and transferred by the women of the Turkish-Kurdish community and whether mothers and daughters share the same opinion about them.’ In a traditional society it is considered to be mothers’ duty to ensure that their culture and traditions, and particularly honour codes, are transferred and taught to their children, especially to their daughters.

  • Law and Order
    THE HAMLYN LECTURES Thirty-seventh series Law and Order Ralf Dahrendorf K.B.E., F.B.A. STEVENS Law and Order by Ralf Dahrendorf K.B.E., F.B.A. Professor of Social Science in the University of Constance; formerly Director of the London School of Economics In this book, based on his 1985 Hamlyn Lectures, Professor Ralf Dahrendorf considers the fundamental questions posed for the social order of free countries by the decline in respect for the law. Taking as his point of departure the terrors of our streets and the riots in our football grounds, Professor Dahrendorf discusses the implication for social order and liberty of such issues as unemployment, the cracks in the party system and the growing disorientation of the young. There are four major themes in the book— • The Road to Anomia—crime statistics are but the most dramatic symptoms of a loosening of social ties and norms. • Seeking Rousseau, Finding Hobbes—a widespread dream of goodness has resulted in the dismantling of some of the institutions designed to protect us from badness. • The Struggle for the Social Contract—underlying social changes have led from the class struggle to conflicts about the boundaries of society. • Society and Liberty—most reactions to the new condition involve threats to liberty—we need to reassert the links between law, order and liberty. Professor Dahrendorf has had a most distinguished career, both in his native Germany and in the United Kingdom. In Law and Order he offers a lively and stimulating analysis of a topic of vital importance in the life of every citizen.

  • Making Sense of Daesh in Afghanistan: a Social Movement Perspective
    \ WORKING PAPER 6\ 2017 Making sense of Daesh in Afghanistan: A social movement perspective Katja Mielke \ BICC Nick Miszak \ TLO Joint publication by \ WORKING PAPER 6 \ 2017 MAKING SENSE OF DAESH IN AFGHANISTAN: A SOCIAL MOVEMENT PERSPECTIVE \ K. MIELKE & N. MISZAK SUMMARY So-called Islamic State (IS or Daesh) in Iraq and Syria is widely interpreted as a terrorist phenomenon. The proclamation in late January 2015 of a Wilayat Kho- rasan, which includes Afghanistan and Pakistan, as an IS branch is commonly interpreted as a manifestation of Daesh's global ambition to erect an Islamic caliphate. Its expansion implies hierarchical order, command structures and financial flows as well as a transnational mobility of fighters, arms and recruits between Syria and Iraq, on the one hand, and Afghanistan–Pakistan, on the other. In this Working Paper, we take a (new) social movement perspective to investigate the processes and underlying dynamics of Daesh’s emergence in different parts of the country. By employing social movement concepts, such as opportunity structures, coalition-building, resource mobilization and framing, we disentangle the different types of resource mobilization and long-term conflicts that have merged into the phenomenon of Daesh in Afghanistan. In dialogue with other approaches to terrorism studies as well as peace, civil war and security studies, our analysis focuses on relations and interactions among various actors in the Afghan-Pakistan region and their translocal networks. The insight builds on a ten-month fieldwork-based research project conducted in four regions—east, west, north-east and north Afghanistan—during 2016. We find that Daesh in Afghanistan is a context-specific phenomenon that manifests differently in the various regions across the country and is embedded in a long- term transformation of the religious, cultural and political landscape in the cross-border region of Afghanistan–Pakistan.

  • Striving for Gender Equality 11
    Striving for Gender Equality 11. December 2018 by Charlotte Joppien All I wish for New Year… …less violence against women in Turkey This year on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, women took to the streets again. In Istanbul, several hundred protested but were hindered by the police. No final numbers on gender-based violence were published yet, but until mid-November around 330 cases were reported. 2017 saw a sharp rise in the increase of deadly violence against women with 25%, adding up to 409 cases. Whereas in 33% of the cases the perpetrators were not known (or could not be identified by the police), in most cases the perpetrator came from the immediate surrounding of the women: 39% were murdered by husbands, boyfriends or ex-partners; another 24% by fathers, sons, brothers or other male relatives (Details on many cases can be found in the online archive at http://kadincinayetleri.org/). Possible reasons being discussed among both experts and in the media are a higher number of reported cases due to awareness campaigns by the government, but also gender-based violence as a symptom of a nation in distress caused by a state of emergency lasting for nearly two years, or a political climate discriminating against women. Although several times president Erdoğan announced concentrated efforts to tackle the problem, it is clearly not solved; according to surveys, nearly 50% of all Turkish women have experienced domestic violence, often on a regular basis. It needs to be added that violence against women, which is predominantly violence experienced at home, is one of the underreported criminal acts due to the fear of being stigmatised, to fear in general, to economic dependency, or due to prioritising the interest of children or of an intact family.

  • Metode Istidlal Dan Istishab (Formulasi Metodologi Ijtihad)
    METODE ISTIDLAL DAN ISTISHAB (FORMULASI METODOLOGI IJTIHAD) Oleh: Umar Muhaimin Abstract Ra‟yu (logic) is an important aspect of ijtihad thus in ushul fiqh - a subject discussing the process of ijtihad – there are several method of finding the law based on logic of fuqaha (scholars), some of them are istishhab and istidlal (finding the sources). Those are two sides of a coin which are two inseparable methods of ijtihad. The source (dalil) is a material object while istidlal is a formal object. Generally, istidlal refers to finding sources either from Qur‟an, Sunna (Tradition), or al Maslahah (considerations of public interest) by means of muttafaq (settled methods) such as Qur‟an, Sunna (Tradition), Ijma‟ (consensus), Qiyas (analogy) or mukhtalaf (debatable methods) such as Mazhab ash-shahabi (fatwa of a companion), al-„urf (custom), Syar‟u Man Qablana (revealed laws before Islam), istihsan (equity), istishab (presumption of continuity) or sad al-dzariah (blocking the means). Al-Syatibi classified four mind sets of understanding nash (the Text) i.e. zahiriyah (textual), batiniyat (esoteric), maknawiyat (contextual) and combination between textual and contextual. Keyword: method, istidlal, istishab Abstrak Terkait dengan ijtihad, sisi ra‟yu (logika-logika yang benar) adalah hal yang tidak dapat dilepaskan darinya. Karena itu, dalam Ushul Fiqh –sebuah ilmu yang “mengatur” proses ijtihad- dikenal beberapa landasan penetapan hukum yang berlandaskan pada penggunaan kemampuan ra‟yu para fuqaha, salah satunya adalah istishhab. Selain itu ada yang bisa dipakai, yakni istidlal (penemuan dalil). Istishhab dan istidlal (penemuan dalil) merupakan dua metodologi ijtihad, yang bagaikan dua sisi mata uang. Artinya Metode Istidlal dan Istishab… ia merupakan dua metodologi ijtihad yang bertolak belakang, antara memilih Istishhab atau istidlal.
