What Have Been the Challenges to State Sovereignty?
Challenges to State Sovereignty

 Intervention from other countries
 NATO taking over Afghan military
 Taliban insurgency – attacking state apparatus

How Are Issues in State Sovereignty Linked to Issues with Territorial Integrity?

Durand Line – the 2,430km international border between Pakistan and Afghanistan

The Durand Line is a porous border making it one of the most dangerous borders in the world. Illegal activities,
such as the smuggling of…

 Weapons
 Narcotics
 Vehicles
 Ordinary consumer goods

… and more, take place due to very little government control on either side of the border

Why Is There So Much Tension on the Durand Line?

 The border was created by the British in the 19 th Century
 No Afghanistan government since the partition of British India in 1947 has accepted the Durand Line
as the international border
 The line has sliced Pashtun ethnic groups in two – the Pashtun tribe don’t see themselves as two
peoples (Afghani and Pakistani) and consider the borders between them as a Western invention
- They try to carry on as they have for centuries by ignoring the border and maintaining their
ancient connections
 A large section of the border is a divide between Afghanistan and FATA (Federally Administered
Tribal Area) in north Pakistan

, FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Area):

 Home to 3 million Muslims who are ethnically Pashtun and take exception to centralised rule from
Pakistan and Afghanistan
 Degree of lawlessness in parts of the region
 Despite having parliamentary seats in Pakistan, the Jurisdiction of the Supreme and High Courts in
Pakistan don’t cover this region
 Due to the very traditional Islamic views held by tribal elders in the region, the areas has become a
stronghold for the Taliban where they fled after NATO entered Afghanistan


Global Governance Strategies Used in Afghanistan
The UN/NATO Intervention and Impacts on Sovereignty

In December 2001, the UN established ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) which was then taken
over by NATO in August 2003

What Was the Initial Aim of ISAF? Who Was Involved with ISAF?
Increasing security in and around the capital of 40 countries
Kabul 2011-12 ISAF had >130,000 troops from 51 NATO
members
How Did ISAF Help to Resolve Sovereignty Issues?
 Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRT) to provide security and reconstruction to Afghanistan
 The first elections were held in 2004 after the fall of the Taliban
 ISAF supported the electoral process by assisting ANSF
 Hamid Karzai won the election and became president

Was the Intervention a Success?

 ISAF supported the  Taliban insurgency – entering Afghanistan to undermine the
electoral process which presidents authority and try to take back control

Force (ANSF) in the conflict

UN Intervention and the Refugee Crisis

By the end of 2001, Afghanis made up the world’s largest number of refugees at 6 million, with most of them
going to Pakistan and Iran

UNHCR Refugee Camps

 The UNHCR set up camps in Pakistan and Iran, as well as some in safe areas of Afghanistan
 Provided a safe haven away from the war allowing families to reunite and bringing communities back
together
 Worked with NGOs, e.g. Red Cross and MSF, to provide emergency temporary care for millions of
displaced people

Kacha Garhi, Pakistan:

 Originally set up for 70,000 Afghan refugees in 1980 due to the Soviet-Afghan war
 The UNHCR and NGOs provided humanitarian aid e.g. tents, food, water, medicine
 The camp was vacated and closed in 2007
