17 August 2010 - Since the release last week of the Mid-Year Report 2010 on the Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict, UNAMA’s Human Rights Unit has been holding meetings with key stakeholders to discuss implementation of the report's recommendations.

“The recommendations are feasible, doable and practical,” said Georgette Gagnon, the unit’s director.

“They give practical guidelines to all key actors on how to reduce the terrible toll this conflict has on civilians,” she added.

Seven recommendations are to anti-government elements, seven to the international military forces, and four to the Government of Afghanistan on what each should do to protect civilians.
