This report analyzes the complexities and challenges of judicial reform in Afghanistan. It examines Kabul’s failure to support the rule of law and assesses the adverse impact of political interference and insecurity on the justice sector. Lack of justice has destabilized the country and judicial institutions have withered to near non-existence. To reverse these trends, the Afghan government and international community must prioritize the rule of law as the primary pillar of a vigorous counter-insurgency strategy that privileges the protection of rights equally alongside the protection of life.
