The AIHRC has been created in order to monitor respect for human rights and promote and protect human rights in Afghanistan. Pursuant to Article 58 of the Afghan Constitution and Article 21 of the Law on the Mandate, Structure, and Duties of the AIHRC, the Commission monitors the situation of human rights in the country. It monitors the implementation of the provisions of the Afghan Constitution and the performance of the executive and judicial branches and of national and international organizations that have implications for the situation of human rights in the country. Based on the laws, the Commission also monitors the security situation. Therefore, it has paid attention to and studied the establishment, behavior, and performance of the Afghan Local Police (ALP). The present report on the ALP is the result of interviews with over 70 Afghan security officials, members of provincial councils, members of local councils, local elders, experts, and a number of commanders of international forces. Data from the AIHRC databases has also been used in the production of this report. The information contained in the present report has been collected by the AIHRC monitors as a result of face-to-face interviews with stakeholders in Kabul and in provinces where the ALP has been created. The present report provides an overview of the establishment and behavior of the ALP and briefly assesses the role of the ALP in stability, security, the rule of law, governance, and respect for human rights. The report explores if the ALP has contributed to stability and security in insecure areas, to what extent local population has participated in and supports the establishment of the ALP, and what role the ALP plays in the rule of law or in violations of laws and abuses of human rights. These questions are specifically explored with regard to the future of the ALP and the existing concerns about it. The Afghan Government and the international forces are engaged in the creation of the ALP in insecure districts and the ALP structure is yet to be completed. For this purpose, the report takes a look into the future. The present report makes specific recommendations to the Afghan Government and international community concerning the ALP with a view to improving the security situation, strengthening the rule of law, ensuring good governance, and observing human rights.
