The constant presence of undemocratic regimes, insurgencies and political instability in
Afghanistan has continuously resulted into the miserable status of civil and political human
rights. Furthermore, the heterogeneous nature of Afghan society and economic under
development have deprived the people of social, cultural and economic rights. In 2004,
democratic government had been established in Afghanistan under the presidentship of Hamid
Karzai. Very obviously, the people at domestic level as well as the international community
expected from the democratically elected regime to take concrete initiatives for the promotion
and protection of human rights. The study observes that the pioneer democratically elected
government of Afghanistan had taken all constitutional measures and legal provisions for the
promotion and protection of human rights in Afghanistan which can be expected from a
democratic nation. But several political, socio-ethnic and socio-economic circumstances such as
frequent violence due to insurgency and counter-insurgency operations, dearth of popular
legitimacy to the regime, challenges to political instability along with the orthodox and
heterogeneous society, facing acute economic underdevelopment have hampered the actual
process of the promotion and protection of human rights in Afghanistan
