Introduction. I disagree with the statement “Holding enemy combatants in custody without an attorney and without judicial review is justified by our war on terror.” In my opinion, the U.S. government violates basic Human Rights, as well as, a number of international and U.S. laws when detaining so-called enemy combatants and holding them in custody for an indefinite period of time without access to the court system. By doing that, the government violates several prime laws, such as the Third Geneva
Afghanistan was used as a buffer zone during the Great Game by Soviet Union and the Great Britain. They did not provide Afghanistan with the means to industrialize and that is why Afghanistan remains subsistence agriculture and a reinter state.

Amazing, despite having considerable water reserves, Brazil is experiencing water shortages. I have selected Afghanistan as a country that has the world’s worst water supply, mainly due to ongoing war that has destroyed the countries infrastructure for fresh water and sanitation.

Politics” Women in Afghanistan do not fully have the right to participate in their government due to the traditional values and behaviors. Most of the countries don’t allow women to represent government. Women in Afghanistan are not allowed to participate in politics because of traditional values and the patriarchal society. Women face oppression through every step of their life. Women in some countries are allowed to hold government seats but some countries like Afghanistan don’t want to give too

The Islamic Koran is a sacred book seen as almost like a bible. The Taliban interprets what they get out of this book into their way of life.

Afghanistan is known for its great quantity of natural resources

Afghanistan on the other hand was slow to reform its controlling Taliban era NGO laws and mostly left NGO contributing proposals out of legal processes, resulting in mistrust and refusal of participation from citizens.

The few working roles women appeared in included entertainers, assembly line workers, stewardesses, schoolteacher, and jobs regarding food preparation. These common depictions of women in the work force exemplify the assumption that women lacked the capacity to participate in important and significant
the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan. During this time, the army’s operation doctrine has evolved to encompass many issues that the army has faced during this time. This has included counterinsurgency (COIN), mobilizing and deploying National Guard and Reserve units on a large scale, and effectively training units to carry out their missions.

On 29th May 2013, three gunmen and a suicide bomber attacked the ICRC office at Jalalabad in Afghanistan killing an Afghan guard on duty. Two days after the attack on the world’s most respected humanitarian organisation’s office, Taliban denied any role in the attack. Taliban spokesperson said that the group never targets those who truly serve the people (Reuters, The Express Tribune, May 31, 2013). This attack sent shockwaves across the humanitarian community, not because that ICRC was never attacked
Afghanistan is a very troubled country. Its recent history is full of wars and revolutions that undermined its democratic and economic status in the world. Afghanistan's economy is recovering from decades of conflict. The economy has improved significantly since the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001 largely because of the infusion of international assistance, the recovery of the agricultural sector, and service sector growth. Despite the progress of the past few years, Afghanistan is extremely poor

According to churchandstate.org.uk, there has been an issue where people seem to confuse the concept of secularist with atheism. They get the idea that just because religion isn’t used within the government that they support an anti-religious
