2007/2208(INI)

Carlo FATUZZO

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1

1. Takes the view that after more than 20 years of civil war Afghanistan has become a ‘failed state’, characterised by missing or weak institutions at all levels and unable to satisfy the most basic needs of its citizens such as education, housing, health, nutrition; is convinced that the country has become a test case for the success or failure of international development assistance and the legitimacy of bi- and multi- lateral development cooperation; sStresses the need for the international community to demonstrate its ability to end the vicious circle of violence and poverty and to give the country the prospect of sustainable peace and development;

Carlo FATUZZO

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2

2. Stresses the urgent need for the international community to analyse what strategic and conceptual misjudgements have contributed to the current situation in Afghanistan, including an honest assessment of both the current military strategy and the strategy for civil reconstruction; concludes that a major shift of strategy is necessary as peace, security and development will only prevail if the spiral of violence is brought to an end, if the prevailing military solution is replaced by reinforced civil reconstruction efforts, and if, as a result, the confidence of the Afghan population is restored; considers in particular that ‘Operation Enduring Freedom’ is politically counterproductive because reconciliation and consolidation of peace cannot be imposed militarily from the outside but have to be developed inside Afghanistaan objective assessment of the strategy for civil reconstruction, which should proceed in accordance, symbiosis and synergy with the current military strategy; calls for greater efforts to break the spiral of violence and speed up civil reconstruction;

Carlo FATUZZO

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5

5. Stresses the urgent need to develop a balanced and sustainable approach to security sector reform (SSR), providing for a professional national army and police force; is concerned about the fact that the different approaches and focus of the main actors in the SSR have resulted in a situation where the development of the army is more advanced than that of the police, and both of these are more advanced than the justice system;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6

6. Draws attention to the ~~fact that despite some~~ achievements made to date~~, the overall outcome of~~ with police reform efforts during the past five years has been disappointing, demonstrating the serious inadequacies of the international community when it comes to institution building; urges the international community to move away from the multitude of individual police reform projects towards a more coordinated, comprehensive andand urges the international community to adopt a coordinated and consistent longer- term approach;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8

8. Stresses the need to redefine the role of the provincial reconstruction teams (PRTs) as a result of the wider role of the military, which is increasingly overlapping with the mandates of civilian aid agencies, causing significant friction; is convinced that the goals of humanitarian organisations, which operate on the basis of neutrality, independence and impartiality, and those of the military are not compatible; strongly believes that the PRTs should concentrate on specific objectives related to security, training and working with the Afghan police and military, and supporting the reach of the central government into insecure areas;

F. whereas there are no official figures on civilian deaths in Afghanistan but a study by the Afghan government suggests that more than 3,700 people were killed by fighting in Afghanistan in 2006; whereas the majority appear to be insurgents, but it is estimated that some 1,000 civilians were killed by both Taliban attacks and NATO air strikes; whereas in June 2007 a network of Afghan and international NGOs had ‘strongly condemned the operations and force protection measures carried out by international military forces in which disproportionate or indiscriminate use of force has resulted in civilian casualties’,
