2017 Civilian Casualty Report

The issue of Civilian Casualties during war is extremely troubling therefore the Islamic Emirate handles this matter very seriously due to its Islamic and national obligation.

So that civilian casualties are prevented during the ongoing Jihad in our country and that – Allah forbid – Mujahidin to not treat the subject of civilian casualties lightly hence the Islamic Emirate has made it absolutely clear that such behavior will not be tolerated.

On these basis, the Islamic Emirate has created an independent organ under the name ‘Department for Prevention of Civilian Casualties and Complaints’ to control, record and present cases of civilian casualties to courts so that such occurrences are handled in accordance with the rule of law, offenders are prosecuted and civilians are not sacrificed in future clashes and fighting. The department is also responsible for investigating and recording civilian casualty events caused by the invaders, Kabul regime security organs, corruption spreading groups and other criminal syndicates.

With the orders of the leader of Islamic Emirate, the department is tasked with duly, impartially and responsibly recording all civilian casualty events. To single out perpetrators, magnitude of losses and details of incident and to share their findings with the Leadership Office and Human Right organizations from time to time as well as publish reports in the media every six months.

In this process not only will the perpetrators of civilian casualties will be dealt with in accordance to the rule of law and Shariah but all sides truly concerned about civilian losses and working towards its prevention will be kept informed about the actual magnitude of incidents, the true perpetrators and about the sense of responsibly of Islamic Emirate in this regard. It is hoped that the publishing of such impartial reports will prove helpful in preventing civilian casualties.

Rest assured that this report by Department for Prevention of Civilian Casualties of Islamic Emirate has been thoroughly researched and no indifference or tolerance has been shown towards any incident. All parties that frequently display concern about civilian casualties and wish to fulfill their obligation in identifying, reprimanding and punishing perpetrators – albeit those that live in areas under the control of Islamic Emirate – be they workers or non-workers the Islamic Emirate, the legal and religious organs of Islamic Emirate will spare no effort in their prosecution and punishment. And perpetrators of such incidents have also been introduced to the courts from time to time and all necessary steps have been taken against them.
