Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Minister, in your report you talk about issues regarding anti-corruption and issues of the rule of law, yet it seems that the Government of Afghanistan is now in a position of having passed a law that basically gives a blanket pardon for perpetrators of war crimes.
We know that the president met last week with one of the major factions opposing his government in Afghanistan. This means essentially that anyone who committed crimes since the overthrow of the Taliban basically is getting a free get-out-of-jail pass. We have people on the ground there who are dealing with anti-corruption, as pointed out on page 9 of your report; can you comment on this, Minister, and tell us what influence, if any, our advisors on the ground have with regard to this type of situation?
