The International security assistance force for the Afghan security: Juridical aspects of its practical implementation.

Abstract

The members of the peacekeeping operations should respect the provisions of the international human rights law and the international humanitarian law, since they are a fundamental basis to consolidate the role of the regional organizations in the area of peace and international security. However, some of the actions that have been carried out by the members of the peacekeeping operation that was led by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Afghanistan have violated both rights since certain activities were undertaken that resulted in causing deaths among the civil population. Especially to avoid that incidents like these, committed by members of the peacekeeping operations can be utilized by Taliban groups in order to incite the civil population against the members of these operations, it is fundamental to investigate, sanction and give compensations for such acts to the victims or to the families in case that the victims may have died.
