The International Conference in Support of Afghanistan will bring together high level representatives from some 80 countries and organizations involved in rebuilding Afghanistan since the fall of the Taleban in 2001. Amnesty International urges the representatives gathered at the Paris conference to deliver on commitments to (1) reform the justice system and establish the rule of law, (2) combat impunity for past and present human rights violations, (3) protect and uphold women’s rights and (4) strengthen freedom of expression.
