  • Afghanistan 2015 Human Rights Report
    AFGHANISTAN 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Afghanistan is an Islamic republic with a strong, directly elected presidency, a bicameral legislative branch, and a judicial branch. Presidential and provincial elections held in 2014 were marred by allegations of fraud that led to an audit of all ballot boxes. Protracted political negotiations between the presidential candidates led to the creation of a national unity government headed by President Ashraf Ghani, with runner-up Abdullah Abdullah assuming the newly created post of chief executive officer. Constitutionally mandated parliamentary elections did not take place during the year. The most recent parliamentary elections took place in 2010 and were marred by high levels of fraud and violence, according to domestic observers, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and other international election-monitoring organizations. Civilian authorities generally maintained control over the security forces, although there were occasions when security forces acted independently. The most significant human rights problems were widespread violence, including indiscriminate attacks on civilians by armed insurgent groups; armed insurgent groups’ killings of persons affiliated with the government; torture and abuse of detainees by government forces; widespread disregard for the rule of law and little accountability for those who committed human rights abuses; and targeted violence of and endemic societal discrimination against women and girls. Other human rights problems included

  • Conflict and Peacebuilding Observatory Nº 35 – November 2015
    Conflict and Peacebuilding Observatory Nº 35 – November 2015 WORSENING AFGHANISTAN: As the conflict rages, the Taliban split and Islamic State acquires new prominence US military sources announced the dismantling of what was probably al-Qaeda’s largest training camp. Located in the district of Shorabak in Kandahar province, the camp covered 77.7 km2. Losses of territory to the Taliban in some districts have been offset by gains in others. In Helmand, an offensive lasting several months pitted Afghan forces against the Taliban for control of the districts of Marjah and Nad-e-Ali, where over 200 Taliban and 85 soldiers were killed, according to the provincial government. In Kunduz, Afghan forces recovered a base in the district of Dasht-e-Archi, but lost a district in the province of Badakhshan. Government forces confirmed that alongside the Taliban, over 1,300 foreign insurgents (Pakistanis, Tajiks, Uyghurs and others) participated in the battle of Kunduz. Furthermore, in Nangarhar, where there is a group loyal to Islamic State, over 30 insurgents were killed in drone strikes. The local provincial government has stated that around 200 university students there are linked to Islamist groups. In fact, Islamic State banners were waved during an anti-government demonstration. In Zabul, Islamic State executed seven members of the Hazara (Shia) ethnic group that it abducted in September. Among them were three women, the first to be victims of beheading. Their families carried their bodies to Kabul, where they were joined by thousands of people (20,000 according to some media outlets) in one of the largest protests ever seen in the capital.

    PRINCIPES DIRECTEURS DU HCR RELATIFS À L’ÉLIGIBILITÉ DANS LE CADRE DE L’ÉVALUATION DES BESOINS DE PROTECTION INTERNATIONALE DES DEMANDEURS D’ASILE AFGHANS Haut Commissariat des Nations Unies pour les réfugiés (HCR) 19 avril 2016 HCR/EG/AFG/16/02 NOTE Les Principes directeurs relatifs à l’éligibilité publiés par le Bureau du HCR visent à aider les agents en charge de la détermination du statut de réfugié, notamment le personnel du HCR, les gouvernements et les organismes privés, à évaluer les besoins de protection internationale des demandeurs d’asile. Ces principes constituent des interprétations juridiques des critères d’éligibilité au statut de réfugié, qui concernent des groupes de population spécifiques et tiennent compte des circonstances sociales, économiques, sécuritaires et humanitaires ainsi que de la situation des droits de l’homme dans le pays ou le territoire d’origine concerné. Les besoins de protection internationale s’y rapportant sont analysés en détail et des recommandations sont formulées sur la manière de déterminer si les demandes en question relèvent des principes et normes du droit international des réfugiés, notamment au Statut du HCR, à la Convention de 1951 relative au statut des réfugiés et à son Protocole de 1967, ainsi qu’à certains instruments régionaux spécifiques comme la Convention de l’OUA de 1969, la Déclaration de Carthagène et la Directive Qualification de l’Union européenne. Selon la situation, ces recommandations peuvent également concerner des régimes de protection complémentaires ou subsidiaires.

  • NATO in Afghanistan: a Test of the Transatlantic Alliance
    NATO in Afghanistan: A Test of the Transatlantic Alliance Vincent Morelli Section Research Manager Paul Belkin Analyst in European Affairs December 3, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33627 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress NATO in Afghanistan: A Test of the Transatlantic Alliance Summary The mission of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in Afghanistan is seen by many as a test of the alliance’s political will and military capabilities. Since the Washington Summit in 1999, the allies have sought to create a “new” NATO, capable of operating beyond the European theater to combat emerging threats such as terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Afghanistan is NATO’s first “out-of-area” mission beyond Europe. The purpose of the mission is the stabilization and reconstruction of Afghanistan. The mission has proven difficult, an “industrial-strength” insurgency according to General David Petraeus, head of U.S. Central Command, because it must take place while combat operations against Taliban insurgents continue. The situation in Afghanistan has seen a rise in the overall level of violence due to increased Taliban military operations, an increase in terrorist-related activities, and recent major offensive operations conducted by the allies. U.N. Security Council resolutions govern NATO’s responsibilities in Afghanistan. The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) faces formidable obstacles: shoring up a weak government in Kabul; using military capabilities in a distant country with rugged terrain; and rebuilding a country devastated by war and troubled by a resilient narcotics trade.

  • Airpower in Afghanistan How a Faraway War Is Remaking the Air Force
    AIRPOWER IN AFGHANISTAN How a faraway war is remaking the Air Force By Rebecca Grant FEBRUARY 2009 A MITCHELL INSTITUTE SPECIAL REPORT Brig. Gen. Billy Mitchell On September 12, 1918 at St. Mihiel in France, Col. Wil- liam Mitchell became the first person ever to command a major force of allied aircraft in a combined-arms opera- tion. This battle was the debut of the US Army fighting under a single American commander on European soil. Under Mitchell’s control, more than 1,100 allied aircraft worked in unison with ground forces in a broad offen- sive—one encompassing not only the advance of ground troops but also direct air attacks on enemy strategic tar- gets, aircraft, communications, logistics, and forces beyond the front lines. Mitchell was promoted to Brigadier General by order of Gen. John J. Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Force, in recognition of his com- mand accomplishments during the St. Mihiel offensive and the subsequent Meuse-Argonne offensive. After World War I, General Mitchell served in Washington and then became Commander, First Provisional Air Brigade, in 1921. That summer, he led joint Army and Navy demonstration attacks as bombs delivered from aircraft sank several captured German vessels, including the SS Ostfriesland. His determination to speak the truth about airpower and its importance to America led to a court-martial trial in 1925. Mitchell was convicted, and re- signed from the service in February 1926. Mitchell, through personal example and through his writing, inspired and en- couraged a cadre of younger airmen. These included future General of the Air Force Henry H.

By Lucas Hori “We in Uzbekistan are acutely aware that the decisive factor for security is the attainment of peace and stability in Afghanistan.” Islam Karimov, President of Uzbekistan, at a NATO summit in Bucharest (April 8, 2008) Abstract Following the terrorist attacks of September 11th, Afghanistan has received a great deal of international attention, while its Central Asian neighbors have been generally ignored. However, the former-Soviet republics are plagued by security threats of their own, which leaders are quick to blame on the volatile circumstances in Afghanistan. This paper examines the relationship between the two regions, focusing especially on cross-border drug trade, and radical Islamist groups, and claims that Central Asian leaders have over-exaggerated Afghanistan’s negative impact on their states.

Faculty : Engineering School : Computer Science Thesis Title : Event Mining over Multiple Text Streams ABstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Event Mining is the set of information extraction tasks that aim to extract events from text identifying the what (action or event category), the who (actors and targets), the when (date), and the where (location). Extraction of events requires a number of automated steps for recognizing all of these components. Current state-of-the-art event extraction systems rely on batch learning, but analysts need near-real time socio-political conflict understanding. Therefore, a key research question is how to deal with Event Mining in near-real-time scenarios. In this thesis, a novel framework was developed to deal with Event Extraction, Event Detection, Event Classification, and Argument Classification, using online learning and prequential testing to work in near-real time scenarios. The framework was tested using three different social science datasets of the Afghanistan-Pakistan conflict using events reported by news, social media and local experts (ACLED). A novel method called SPLICER was built to tackle these tasks in real time, using stream mining models in a multi-layered constraint learning approach. The feasibility of SPLICER is shown against state-of-the-art event extraction systems.

A large amount of resources were devoted to the search, rescue, and recovery operations of Red Wings II. As a result, Ahmad Shah and his men left the region and regrouped in Pakistan. These "presence operations" achieved the goal of disrupting anti-coalition militia activity, but at great cost, and upon the exfiltration of troops, Ahmad Shah and his reinforced cell were able to return to the area weeks later. Significant international media attention was focused on the ambush and the MH shootdown. The size of Shah's group increased as additional fighters joined his ranks. Ahmad Shah's group in Kunar Province was neutralized, and Shah was seriously wounded during Operation Whalers weeks later in August On September 14, , Dietz and Axelson were posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for "undaunted courage" and heroism.
