2.Congress makes the following
findings:
(1)Nearly six years
after the liberation of Afghanistan from the Taliban, who provided Osama
Bin-Laden and Al-Qaeda with a safe haven for planning the attacks of September
11, 2001, Afghanistan remains highly unstable and the Government of President
Hamid Karzai remains subject to attacks from remnants of the Taliban who have
regrouped along with other insurgent groups, including some foreign fighters
associated with Al-Qaeda.
(2)The Government of
Afghanistan supports the continued deployment of international forces to
supplement its own nascent national security forces, and the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO), which took over international stability operations
for the entire country on October 5, 2006, must show continued commitment to
these operations in order to assist Afghanistan in defeating the growing
insurgency in rural areas of Afghanistan.
(3)The current United States counter-narcotics
strategy for Afghanistan has not produced significant results, in part due to a
failure to seek out and capture high-level warlords and kingpins who control
the flow of illicit narcotics and because sufficient sustainable alternatives
have not been provided to Afghan farmers who suffer from a lack of access to
microfinance facilities, financial services, and land rights and whose crops
are subject to eradication.
(4)In some cases, the
misaligned eradication policy endorsed by the United States Government has led
adversely-affected Afghan farmers and villagers to support insurgent groups,
including the Taliban.
(5)The violence and
instability in Afghanistan is further exacerbated by the flourishing trade in
opium and opium-related crops, which has reached record levels and which fuel
local militias, corrupts the national and local governments, and provides
funding for insurgent and terrorist groups.
(6)The United States
and the international community must continue to support Afghanistan both
through increased support for its national and local police forces, the Afghan
National Army, and Afghan counter-narcotics operations.
(7)The United States
and the international community must also continue to support the growth of the
Afghan economy through foreign assistance and other means because Afghanistan
remains one of the poorest countries in the world and economic growth is
impeded by the lingering remnants of 25 years of civil war and occupation and
the ongoing instability since December 2001, including the growing illicit drug
economy.
(8)The United States and the international
community must also continue to show a long-term commitment to support the
promotion of democracy and the protection of human rights in Afghanistan,
including increased assistance for the rule of law, freedom of the press,
freedom of association, freedom of religion, and other measures of good
governance.
(9)From January 31 to
February 1, 2006, the Government of Afghanistan and the international community
issued the Afghanistan Compact, which sets forth both the international
community’s commitment to Afghanistan and Afghanistan’s commitment to
state-building and reform over the next five years.
(10)The Afghanistan
Compact, which is supported by the Afghan National Development Strategy,
provides the core framework for building an effective, accountable state in
Afghanistan, with goals and standards set forth in the Afghanistan Compact for
improvements in security, governance, and development, including measures for
reducing the narcotics economy, promoting regional cooperation, and making aid
more effective, particularly at the local and provincial levels. The
Afghanistan Compact also established a mechanism to monitor Afghanistan and the
international community’s adherence to the timelines, goals, and objectives set
forth in the document.
(11)The security of
Afghanistan is closely intertwined with those of its regional neighbors and
success in Afghanistan, both economic and political, will be dependent on
security and stability in the region.
(12)The recent closure of four refugee camps in
Pakistan and the deportation of Afghans from Iran have resulted in over 200,000
Afghan refugees repatriating to Afghanistan who will require urgent
humanitarian services.
