The massive<br>human rights violations carried out through state terrorism during previous Afghan<br>governments are contested but wildly accepted, suggests the correlation between state<br>terrorism, human rights abuse and civil war. The methods of state terrorism including<br>the mass killings, forced removal of opponents and ethnic-religious minorities,<br>displacement, forced disappearance, ban on freedom of speech, and suspension of<br>women’s rights, under current Afghan regime; combining with the feeble economy and<br>return of Afghan refugees is turning security situation of Afghanistan into a<br>catastrophe, which civil war can aggravate to the extreme and irreversible lengths. The<br>lacking focus of academia on state terrorism is affecting the international community’s<br>response to state based human rights abuses. Without classifying state terrorism as a<br>heinous crime, it is impossible to force the international community to take action<br>against this practice, safeguard fundamental rights and ensure peace.</p>2024-06-05T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 ASIAN Journal of International Peace & Security (AJIPS)
