Abstract
This report discusses informal justice in Afghanistan and its
relationship to state institutions. It draws on a series of pilot
projects sponsored and overseen by the United States Institute
of Peace (USIP) and on work by other nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs), international donors, and the international
military in Afghanistan, as well as on field visits by the authors.
Over the past several years, the USIP team that oversaw the
projects spoke with hundreds of Afghan government officials,
community leaders, citizens, members of the NGO community,
international government officials, and military personnel
about informal justice issues. The report provides a summary of
this research and a series of recommendations for the Afghan
government and the international community engaged with rule
of law in the country.
