Summary: “The human security situation in Afghanistan is precarious. On the positive side, since 2000, the Taliban has been overthrown; three elections have been held and formally democratic institutions established; some five million refugees have returned and some four million girls have returned to schools. At the same time, the insurgency is intensifying especially in the south; the legitimacy of the government is weak because of the role of former commanders in key positions; crime and human rights violations are widespread, especially crimes against women; unemployment is high and access to public services is weak and in some areas nonexistent; and poppy cultivation is increasing”—(p.
