As we increased the number of civilians and the seniority of our officials, this dichotomy began to change over time, but in my view, despite our best efforts to work collaboratively with the NDS in terms of offering human rights training and providing their facility with considerable infrastructure improvements, we have never fully nor adequately managed to address the inherent shortcomings of that institution as a viable partner working alongside our officials on a matter of this import.
Thank you for your attention.
