Special Report on Kunduz Province
AFGHANISTAN HUMAN RIGHTS AND PROTECTION OF CIVILIANS IN ARMED CONFLICT SPECIAL REPORT ON KUNDUZ PROVINCE © 2015/Xinhua United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Kabul, Afghanistan December 2015 AFGHANISTAN HUMAN RIGHTS AND PROTECTION OF CIVILIANS IN ARMED CONFLICT SPECIAL REPORT ON KUNDUZ PROVINCE United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Kabul, Afghanistan December 2015 Photo on Front Cover © 2015/ Jawed Omid/Xinhua. A man searches for the bodies of his relatives inside the ruins of the Médecins Sans Frontières hospital in Kunduz city. (On 3 October, a United States AC-130 aircraft carried out a series of airstrikes against the hospital, resulting in at least 30 deaths and 37 injured). Photo taken on 11 October 2015. "Citizens of Kunduz were subjected to a horrifying ordeal. The street by street fighting coupled with a breakdown of the rule of law created an environment where civilians were subjected to shooting, other forms of violence, abductions, denial of medical care and restrictions of movement out of the city.” Nicholas Haysom, United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Afghanistan, Kabul, 25 October 2015. “This event was utterly tragic, inexcusable, and possibly even criminal. International and Afghan military planners have an obligation to respect and protect civilians at all times, and medical facilities and personnel are the object of a special protection. These obligations apply no matter whose air force is involved, and irrespective of the location." United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, Geneva, 3 October 2015, public statement about attack against the Médecins Sans Frontières hospital. -

Week of 27 SEP - 03 OCT 2010
NATO RESTRICTED /I FOUO REL UNDSS IDC Weekly Security Narrative: Week of 27 SEP - 03 OCT 2010 RC-NORTH: 1. General Assessment of RC-N AOR The number of enemy initiated events in RC-N decreased slightly (14 events this week versus 20 last week) when compared to the previous reporting period . RC N had seen a steady rise in enemy initiated activity over the last several weeks, but this week saw a continued decrease in the number and intensity of incidents. This may be due in part to insurgents exhausting short-term supplies by increasing their activity so dramatically on 18 SEP in order to disrupt the elections. Still, insurgents were able to conduct several somewhat significant direct fire attacks on CF units, especially in the Baghlan - Kunduz Corridor. Once again, over half these events (8) occurred in the so-called BAGHLAN KUNDUZ Corridor (the main routes connecting Pul-e Khumri and Kunduz cities). This is the most historically active area in RC-N , though western FARYAB Province (especially QAISER District) remains very active, even with a significant drop in events Gust under a quarter of all events in the north took place in this area of FARYAB). BALKH Province experienced three events, including one very crude attempt at surface to air fire. Insurgents seem to have returned to their favored tactic of direct fire over lED attacks (Ihough several lEDs were found across the north). These direct fire attacks have increased in intensity and effectiveness to some extent. These are concentrated in the BAGHLAN - KUNDUZ Corridor (especially in the districts of PUL-E KHUMRI , IMAM SAHIB and KUNDUZ) . -
