AIHRC background:
From the Bonn Conference to the London Conference, the
protection and the promotion of human rights in Afghanistan
have always been a top priority in discussions involving the
Afghan Government, the United Nations and the international
community. Development cooperation agendas in Afghanistan
all stress the need to establish democracy, stability, the
rule of law and good governance in the country. These goals
can not be reached without the promotion and protection of
human rights of all Afghan citizens throughout the country.
The Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) is a permanent
and independent national institution, with the mandate to
protect, promote, monitor and investigate human rights
throughout Afghanistan. It was established through a
Presidential Decree in June 2002 and was included in the
Afghan Constitution, which reads in its Article 58:
The Commission's legal status was strengthened when the Law on the
Structure, Duties and Mandate of the AIHRC was passed by
Presidential Decree with Cabinet approval in May 2005. The
law set out regulations regarding the structure, duties,
authorities, responsibilities and mandate of the Commission,
and also addressed the independence of the Commission
including the appointment of Commissioners. The role of the
Commission consists in fulfilling its mandate and in
providing support, guidance and advice to the Government
through reports, researches, awareness-raising efforts, and
cooperation in outlining laws and national strategy plans.
More recently, the Afghanistan Compact clearly defined the AIHRC's
responsibilities in fulfilling the benchmarks set related to
the promotion and protection of human rights, and expressed
the commitment of the international community to further
support AIHRC:
By 1 April 2006, AIHRC successfully transitioned from a UNDP-administered
project to direct bilateral relations with donors, with the
approval of its donors and the United Nations. The Steering
Committee gave way to a Project Committee including the
United Nations, as well as donor and government
representatives. The Project Committee overviews the
implementation of the project in support of the Commission's
three-year action plan (2006 -2008) and makes
recommendations on the progress met by the AIHRC. In its
efforts of transparency and accountability, the Commission
has an accounting firm review its quarterly financial
reports as well as regular audits in the future.
