What is the Bonn Agreement?
Bonn Agreement was the first of a series of agreements designed to re-build the state of Afghanistan following the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. In December of 2001, Afghan and world leaders met in Bonn, Germany under United Nations auspices to design an ambitious agenda that would guide Afghanistan towards “national reconciliation, a lasting peace, stability, and respect for human rights” culminating in the establishment of a fully representative government. Many political and civil institutions have been established with the Bonn Agreement through commissions such as the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission, the Judicial Commission, Counter- Narcotics Directorate, and the Constitutional commission.
