  • Undermining Human Security Private Security Companies, the APPF, Militias and Auxiliary Police in Afghanistan
    PRIF Report No. 128 Undermining Human Security Private Security Companies, the APPF, Militias and Auxiliary Police in Afghanistan Elke Krahmann/Cornelius Friesendorf the © Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) 2014 Correspondence to: PRIF (HSFK) Baseler Straße 27-31 60329 Frankfurt am Main Germany Telephone: +49(0)69 95 91 04-0 Fax: +49(0)69 55 84 81 E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] Internet: www.prif.org ISBN: 978-3-942532-78-5 Euro 10,– Summary In the fight against insurgents, terrorists, and criminals, the United States (US) has worked with numerous armed groups in Afghanistan. We call these actors ‘force multipliers’ as they are employed in order to increase the capabilities of national and international forces by supporting them in security functions. In Afghanistan, force multipliers comprise four types of actors: Private Security Companies (PSCs), the Afghan Public Protection Force (APPF), militias, and auxiliary police forces. This report argues that force multipliers are a problem for the physical and economic security of the local population in Afghanistan which urgently needs to be addressed. As key causes of the negative impact of international force multipliers on human security, our analysis identifies weaknesses in the areas of recruitment, vetting, command and control, and prosecution of these forces. Such weaknesses have allowed armed groups to pursue their own parochial interests; these include the involvement in competition among various clans and power brokers, the exploitation of the local population, and the expansion of their own influence. Both the US and the international community share responsibility for this development. This report illustrates how the US, in particular, has funded, trained, equipped and made use of force multipliers in Afghanistan for a variety of reasons.

  • ASSESSING the INNOCENCE and VICTIMIZATION of CHILD SOLDIERS by KATHRYN ELIZABETH BRONS ADAM LANKFORD, COMMITTEE CHAIR MARK LANI
    ASSESSING THE INNOCENCE AND VICTIMIZATION OF CHILD SOLDIERS by KATHRYN ELIZABETH BRONS ADAM LANKFORD, COMMITTEE CHAIR MARK LANIER KARL DEROUEN JR. A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Criminal Justice in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2013 Copyright Kathryn Elizabeth Brons 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT To date, the majority stance taken by researchers in the field of criminology has been that child soldiers should be treated as innocent victims of war. While there have been some authors who have examined whether this label should be attached to the child, none have firmly taken the minority side in this debate. International law disregards the criminal acts against humanity committed by a child soldier and instead criminalizes the adults who either abducted the child for military duty or allowed the child to willingly volunteer for the armed services. This thesis proposes that many child soldiers are not innocent victims, but they are instead perpetrators of violence. In doing so, definitions of ‘innocent’ and ‘victim’ are called upon to show how many child soldiers are neither of these things and are able to take advantage of the International Criminal Court because of the ambiguity in international law. Labeling theory is used as the theoretical framework for this thesis. By labeling child soldiers as innocent victims, it has an adverse effect that allows child soldiers to continue committing criminal acts. ii DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my loving husband and supportive family. You drive me to always think outside the box.

  • The Meaning of Setbacks in Iraq and Afghanistan for Counterinsurgency, Counter-Terrorism, and Intervention
    The meaning of setbacks in Iraq and Afghanistan for counterinsurgency, counter-terrorism, and intervention Carter Malkasian For the past sixteen years, the United States has been focused on intervening in foreign lands in order to fight terrorists and insurgents. The main theaters have been Iraq and Afghanistan. The United States invested great effort into the endeavor and developed new doctrines of counterinsurgency and counterterrorism. The best lessons from the 20th Century informed US strategy. Between 2011 and 2014, after some success, the United States drew down its military forces in both countries. The Iraqi and Afghan governments, and their armies and police, were entrusted to take over and provide security. In the aftermath of drawdown, renewed insurgencies inflicted severe defeats on the two governments. Gains that had come at high cost and sacrifice for the United States unraveled. The unraveling of Iraq and Afghanistan bears significance for the study of strategy. The hope of the time was that the United States would enable new governments to stand on their own. The notion is fundamental to America’s strategic theory of intervention. The same notion informs US strategy in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere today. It falls into a general sense that American intervention can do good. The defeats open this to question. The argument of this paper is that Iraq and Afghanistan show it is very difficult, perhaps impossible, for a short intervention to yield lasting change. The success of each intervention was bound to sectarian, ethnic, cultural, and religious forces that proved insensitive to a few years of US presence.
