Protecting Health-Care and Education Facilities during the Upcoming Electoral Process
Monday, December 16, 2013
Report from the Agency Coordinating Body for Afghan Relief (ACBAR):
In the preparation for the upcoming elections of the spring 2014, the government of Afghanistan announced that some health facilities and schools had been designated as registration centers for the population and as polling stations.
First and foremost ACBAR members acknowledge that the upcoming election process is a civilian political process, thus non-military, and therefore shouldn’t be targeted under International Humanitarian Law.
