A/HRC/25/41
61.
Anti-Government elements should:
(a)
Cease the deliberate targeting and killing of civilians and withdraw
orders that authorize attacks on and killing of civilians, particularly religious
personnel, judicial authorities and civilian government workers;
(b)
Cease using victim-activated IEDs and halt the indiscriminate use of
IEDs, particularly in all areas frequented by civilians;
(c)
Cease practices carried out by parallel judicial structures that impose
unlawful punishments such as killing, amputation, mutilation and beatings.
62.
The international community should:
(a)
Consider increasing support to the Government in implementing the
EVAW law by channelling development assistance towards commitments made under
the Tokyo Declaration on gender equality, women’s empowerment and EVAW law
implementation, and toward the recommendations the Committee on the Elimination
of Discrimination against Women made to Afghanistan in July 2013;
(b)
Implement a joint monitoring framework that includes specific
indicators to measure progress and incentives for sustained and increased financial
support based on demonstrated measurable results by the Government in EVAW law
enforcement and related measures to end violence against women and girls;
(c)
Continue to support the AIHRC, which will struggle to survive without
continuing donor support. A withdrawal of donor support at this critical juncture
would result in a rolling back of human rights gains in the face of escalating violations
across the country;
(d)
Undertake countrywide verification of the 700 international military
bases and firing ranges that have closed to ensure they are cleared of unexploded and
abandoned ordnance;
(e)
Establish a mechanism within ISAF and ANSF that communicates the
suspected presence of unexploded ordnance from aerial and ground operations to
appropriate authorities and ensure the marking and clearance of suspect hazardous
areas;
(f)
Put plans in place to continue engagement on detention issues post-2014,
especially if international forces, including special forces, will be active in supporting
any ANSF military or counter-insurgency operations. Detention oversight,
remediation, training and other torture prevention measures should remain an
essential aspect of any international support mandate or partnership with Afghan
forces post-2014.
