Description

Panelists will discuss the history of the Afghan legal system and the obstacles to development. Is democracy a prerequisite to a rule of law system? How, if at all, did Afghanistan’s 2004 Constitution change the legal landscape? Panelists will also discuss peacebuilding strategies and whether international law can be used as leverage over the Taliban, which is now in control of the government. If the Taliban thwarts monitoring efforts about suspected human rights violations, what can be done by the international community as a response?
