As last year, January 24 is the International Day of Endangered Law. This year the Day aims at raising awareness of the situation of lawyers in Aghanistan, after the withdrawal of the US forces and its allies.
Exceptionally this year, our work is extended to the situation of
judges and prosecutors due to the dire situation the legal institution is facing.
This year the report is directed at international actors and States who took part in the US invasion. It obviously makes no sense to address it to the Taliban government.
