Event overview
The cataclysmic humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan sees many try to desperately flee, while some continue to live under an uncertain Taliban regime. This situation was a long time in the making and many would argue that international actors played a significant role in shaping the conditions that led to the current crisis. In this session we focus on international efforts in Afghanistan including its goals and programmes to simultaneously address terrorism, promote democracy, build peace and support development. We explore the results and legacies of these efforts, how they are enmeshed in the current crisis and what lessons can be learned about future engagement in the country, including how positive gains such as health, education and women’s rights can be protected.
