Summary: This report from a fact-finding mission to Afghanistan in May 2008 was to understand how and why civilian deaths were occurring in the country. A civilian-centric view of the conflict was adopted and attempts were made to understand how the tactics of each side in the conflict lead to civilian deaths, how the conduct of one side increases the likelihood of killings of civilians by the other. Each of the military actors in the conflicts shifts blame to the other for civilian deaths. In fact, “the Taliban, Afghan forces and international military forces all bear responsibility for unlawfulkillings, and each bears responsibility for reducing the numbers of civilians killed in the conflict” (p. 2). |
