An amnesty law that prevents the prosecution of individuals responsible for large-scale human rights abuses has officially become law in Afghanistan. So the people that have been torchered for decades will never see their abusers behind bars where they should be. The blanket amnesty not only shields those involved in past violations, but seems to extend a similar reprieve to current armed groups engaging in acts of terrorism and hostility throughout the country, whom the law says will be granted immunity if they agree to reconciliation with the government. This is a huge set back for a country trying to rebuild itself. All the tererists are still running around being able to do what they want and will never get punished for it in Afghanastan.
I think the War law would be a smart idea. There are way too many deaths in the Afghanistan War.
