"Regardless of the circumstances, I deeply regret the loss of innocent lives," said Gen. John Nicholson, commander of U.S.

The operation was conducted to capture Taliban leaders responsible for October’s violence in Kunduz.
It was carried out by Afghan special operation forces with a smaller U.S. element to provide advice and assistance.

As the engagement progressed and friendly forces began to take casualties from Taliban fire coming from civilian buildings, U.S. and Afghan forces were forced to request aerial fire support from U.S. platforms in self defense.

The GIRoA gives utmost importance to the prevention and mitigation of any sort of harm to civilians during armed conflict, and keenly appreciates UNAMA’s monitoring and recording of such incidents in our country.
As the report shows, the Afghan people continue to pay a horrifically high price as a result of the on- go... | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
These terrorists continue to brutalize our innocent citizens indiscriminately with no respect for human dignity, and no regard to Islamic values and International Humanitarian Law.
The report rightly notes the inhumane means and tactics, including suicide and complex attacks, targeted and deliberate killings, use of b... | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
With the intensification of their attacks in 2016, in an effort to capture and hold territory, the Taliban and other affiliated terror syndicates caused an immense number of civilian deaths and injuries, showing zero concern for the protection of civilians.
In many cases, they deliberately took refuge in civilian-popu... | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
As in last year, the report finds women and children as the most affected victims of terrorism in 2016, noting that “Women and girls were killed and maimed by conflict related violence, brutalised by harsh punishments and suffered restrictions and other human rights abuses imposed by Anti-Government Elements. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
Such abuses included killings, physical punishments amounting to torture and deliberate limitations imposed on fundamental human rights …” Of children’s victimization, the report paints an equally gloomy picture, noting the killing, rape, abduction, and forced recruitment of under-aged boys by the Taliban, Daish, and o... | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
Our reports and findings similarly show grave crimes being committed against our people, particularly women and children, by the various terrorist groups that operate in Afghanistan.
These crimes against humanity are utterly alarming, and the GIRoA urges UNAMA to pay particular attention to the increasing rates and tr... | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
While the GIRoA greatly appreciates UNAMA’s efforts at monitoring the security situation in Afghanistan and reporting the rates and patterns of human rights violations in the conflict, it is necessary to note a few discrepancies, misunderstandings, or misrepresentations in the report. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
This is solely intended to present a fuller, more accurate picture of the realities on the ground, and further strengthen the UNAMA report: • The GIRoA expresses concern about the methodology used by UNAMA, particularly in regards to identification of civilian casualties and the attribution of responsibility for that. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
UNAMA’s approach is appropriate to monitor conventional, mostly interstate conflicts where the parties at war, battle spaces, rules of engagement, and weapons and tactics used are clear and defined.
We, however, are engaged in a fierce counter-terrorism campaign, in which the terrorists wear no uniform, operate among ... | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
As a result, in many cases, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to determine with certainty if a casualty is civilian or a combatant.
As such, we respectfully request that Afghanistan Annual Report on Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict: 2016 118 UNAMA considers adapting its methodology so as to become... | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
• Related to the above is the issue of attribution of responsibility for civilian harm, as the UNAMA report ascribes 23% of the total civilian casualties to pro-government forces.
We respectfully disagree with this figure, and urge UNAMA to revise it appropriately.
Our records and figures show a significantly lower p... | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
• The GIRoA takes the report’s recommendations seriously, and continues to consider them in its policies and practices.
For instance, on recommendation to “Cease the use of mortars, rockets, grenades, other indirect weapons, and aerial attacks in civilian-populated areas”, the GIRoA has already put in place policies a... | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
• The GIRoA would also like to clarify that it does not use any civilian facilities, including schools, hospitals, and clinics, for military purposes.
In the event that such action is taken by any military official or government authority, the GIRoA promptly launches an investigation and takes appropriate measures. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
• Throughout 2016, the GIRoA continued its policy of providing support and compensation to families of victims and those who have lost property as a result of the ongoing conflict and ttacks by the terrorist groups.
The government will continue to do so into the future. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
• The GIRoA will also continue to pursue the implementation of its Civilian Casualties Prevention and Mitigation Policy, improving its measures at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels to prevent, mitigate, and minimize harm to civilians during operations by our military forces. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
Our High Oversight Board, as well as the Working Group, will continue to meet regularly, review the implementation of the Policy, and report to the top leadership of the country on the status of the implementation of the Policy.
The GIRoA fully recognizes the protection of our civilian population as its utmost duty, a... | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |

We reviewed your report, but unfortunately and regretfully, we say that your report was written skillfully in a way that attributes high numbers of civilian casualties to the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and shows low levels of civilian casualties committed by the Americans and the hireling regime.

Instead of dividing the numbers of civilian casualties between each separate group, which would therefore show lower numbers of casualties for each group, you attribute all casualties to Anti Government Elements.

This is an ambiguous, and is deliberately intended to blame all casualties inflicted by other anti- government groups on the Islamic Emirate and to demonstrate that the Islamic Emirates’ Mujahedeen caused more civilian casualties.

Your investigation itself proves your lack of veracity in that you counted the Haqani network as a separate body from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, while Haqani sahib “God may protect him” is the deputy of the Islamic Emirates.

In addition to counting the military-affiliated staff of the puppet administration as civilian casualties in your report, you also include those belong to military structures, for instance private security companies, that practically engage in military activities and in fighting against the Islamic Emirates. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
In contrast the education staff of the Islamic Emirates are counted by you as armed fighters since it is never mentioned in your report that the person assigned as the Head of Education of the Islamic Emirates in Nangarhar has been killed by the Americans and you never mentioned that he was martyred by the Americans. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722005266939.pdf | https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/protection_of_civilians_in_armed_conflict_annual_report_2016_final280317.pdf | Uzbekistan |
