A/HRC/28/48 UNAMA/OHCHR have prioritized four areas: protection of civilians in armed conflict, including children; elimination of violence against women; prevention of torture and arbitrary detention; and human rights aspects of peace and reconciliation processes. In addition, UNAMA/OHCHR is providing support and advocacy to strengthen the effectiveness and independence of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission. These priorities reflect the UNAMA mandate and highlight the main human rights concerns of the Afghan people. These priorities also serve as key areas for the newly elected Afghan Government to focus upon, as part of their reform agenda following the transfer of security and other responsibilities from international actors. 2
