10.01.2022 20 November World Children’s Day World Children’s Day, originally established as Universal Children’s Day in 1954, seeks to raise awareness of the welfare of children across the globe and to promote international togetherness. It offers all of us an opportunity to celebrate, promote and advocate for children’s rights, instrumental in today’s world, with children being the future of our planet, particularly during the era of COVID-19, which has had profound impacts on child ...rights. Afghanistan has one of the youngest citizenries in the world, with 42 per cent of its population aged 14 years or under.

05.01.2022 Statement of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan regarding the Report of the Australian Defence Forces’ Inspector General on Allegations of Se...rious Misconduct by Members of the Australian Special Forces between 2005 and 2016 in Afghanistan. 19 November 2020 ----------------------------- https://go.mfa.af/au-2297 KABUL The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan considers the report by the Inspector General of the Australian Defence Force on violations of the Law of Armed Conflicts by some Australian special forces in Afghanistan, released today by the Australian Chief of the Defence Force, a necessary step towards ensuring transparency and implementing legal processes as well as ensuring justice and addressing the cases of illegal conduct. The Prime Minister of Australia, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Defence and the Australian Chief of Defence Force sent official letters to the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Defense, the National Security Adviser and the Chief of Staff of the Afghan Army, acknowledging the report and expressing their disgust and aversion to those violations of the Law of Armed Conflicts by members of the Australian special forces in Afghanistan between 2005 and 2016. On behalf of the Government and People of Australia, they apologized to both the people and the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan for these violations, and assured the Government of Afghanistan of their compliance with the recommendations of the Afghanistan Inquiry, providing justice and compensation to the families of the victims. While the Government and the people of Afghanistan are grateful for the full and continued support of the Australian Government over the past 19 years, it, in unison with the Australian Government, strongly condemns these violations and considers them indefensible, and deems the publication of the report and the appointment of a Special Investigator to address these incidents, as important steps towards achieving justice. The Government of Afghanistan appreciates the expression of regret and sympathy by the Australian authorities and for their condolences to the people of Afghanistan, and thanks them for their reassurance to the Afghan Government that they will provide the victims of these incidents with reparations. Both Governments will work closely together to ensure that the recommendations of the Afghanistan Inquiry are met, justice is provided and compensation is paid to the victims.
