Razvoj Delovanja ISAF-A
UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Branka Pohorec Razvoj delovanja ISAF-a Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2012 UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Branka Pohorec Mentorica: doc. dr. Maja Garb Razvoj delovanja ISAF-a Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2012 Zahvala Zahvaljujem se svoji mentorici, doc. dr. Maji Garb za vso pomoč, nasvete in usmeritve pri pisanju diplomske naloge. Še posebej se zahvaljujem svoji družini in sorodnikom za vso podporo v času študija. Razvoj delovanja ISAF-a Afganistan predstavlja območje nenehnih nemirov, katerim še vedno ni videti konca. Vojno stanje se ni zaključilo že zadnjih trideset let. V zadnjem času igrajo ključno vlogo v konfliktih uporniške skupine. Le-te izzivajo druge države in tako preprečujejo lastnemu prebivalstvu, da bi po nekaj desetletjih zaživeli v miru. Nemirno stanje in ogrožanje mednarodne varnosti in miru je privedlo tudi do ustanovitve operacije ISAF. Le-ta je bila ustanovljena leta 2001 na pobudo mednarodne organizacije Združenih narodov (v nadaljevanju ZN). Primarna naloga operacije ISAF je vzpostavitev varnosti in miru. Operacija je najprej delovala pod vodstvom držav, kasneje je nadzor nad operacijo prevzela Organizacija severnoatlantske pogodbe (v nadaljevanju NATO). Znotraj te organizacije so vojaki iz različnih držav poskušajo zadnjih enajst let doseči zastavljene cilje, a so ti še vedno precej oddaljeni. Sedaj operacija že izgublja zaupanje v očeh prebivalstva po vsem svetu in s tem se pojavljajo dvomi, kako dolgo bodo države še vztrajale pri tej operaciji. KLJUČNE BESEDE: mirovna operacija, ISAF, uporniške skupine, Afganistan. Development of ISAF Afghanistan represents an area of constant unrest with no end in sight. State of war did not end for the last thirty years. -

Afghanistan: Towards a Handover of Security Responsibility?
Afghanistan: Towards a Handover of Security Responsibility? Standard Note: SN/IA/5678 Last updated: 20 August 2010 Author: Claire Taylor Section International Affairs and Defence Section In the last year the military campaign in Afghanistan has taken on a fresh slant as Coalition allies have moved towards counterinsurgency operations that emphasise population security, and have begun drawing up longer term plans to strengthen the capabilities of the Afghan National Security Forces with a view to transitioning security control to the ANSF from the end of 2010 in order that Coalition military forces can begin to withdraw from mid-2011. As part of that strategy a surge of 30,000 US and 10,000 additional Coalition forces have been deployed to the country in the first half of 2010, which will bring the total ISAF force in Afghanistan to approximately 150,000 personnel by the end of 2010. Following the announcement in July 2010 that 300 additional military personnel would temporarily be deployed to Afghanistan, British forces in the country are expected to total 10,300 personnel. However, questions are being increasingly asked whether that timetable for transition is too ambitious and whether the Afghan National Security Forces will be capable of effectively taking responsibility for security in the country, thereby allowing Coalition forces to draw down. Although the military campaign is increasingly being viewed within the context of the wider political and economic strategy for Afghanistan this note does not examine those issues, except where they impact upon the military campaign. Further detail on the US administration’s ‘AfPak’ strategy is available in Library Research Paper RP10/45, The ‘AfPak’ Policy and the Pashtuns, 22 June 2010. -

Operations in Afghanistan
House of Commons Defence Select Committee Operations in Afghanistan Written Evidence This is a volume of submissions, relevant to the inquiry into Operations in Afghanistan, which have been reported to the House but not yet approved for publication in final form. Any public use of, or reference to, the contents should make clear that it is not yet an approved final record of the written evidence received by the Committee. List of written evidence Page 1 Oxford Research Group (OPA 01) 1 2 Further written evidence from Oxford Research (OPA 02) 6 3 British and Irish Agencies Afghanistan Group (BAAG) (OPA 04) 11 4 Henry Jackson Society (OPA 05) 30 5 The Boeing Company (OPA 06) 39 6 Ministry of Defence (OPA 07) 43 7 Professor Anthony King (OPA 08) 119 OPA 1 Written evidence from the Oxford Research Group Civilian casualties and the transparency of their reporting by ISAF Executive Summary • Oxford Research Group’s major recommendation is for the Committee to request that the British Government provide it with the information it holds on civilian casualties and, thereafter, release such information into the public sphere. • Oxford Research Group would like to emphasise the importance of the public release of such information by the ISAF and British Government. Only with the release of incident-based records of civilian casualties in Afghanistan can the British public understand the full costs, consequences and implications of our intervention and draw the correct lessons from the conflict situation. • Additional to the moral implications, it is crucial to appreciate the long-lasting effects of civilian deaths on the nature of a conflict and the influence it can have on current attitudes and behaviour on the ground.
