Economic Growth Public Revenue and Trade Tariffs: Evidence from Asia (1975-05‪)‬

Byline: Omaer Farooq Zain Afghanistan, a victim of cold war politics and a centre of gravity in the war against terrorism from the early days of the twenty first century, has been suffering from the worst kind of human rights violations. The humanitarian assistance, disaster relief and rehabilitation process in right quantity with correct urgency, has never been witnessed in the war-torn land of the Afghan people. An objective review of the state of human rights in Afghanistan over the past three decades leads to extremely unhappy conclusions. Repeated disruption of governance after Soviet and American invasions and ethnic cleansing or factional fighting resulted in serious deviations from human rights norms. The Afghan people find themselves in a serious multidimensional humanitarian crisis which has not only taken their freedom away but also deprived them of the fundamental rights mentioned in UDHR (Universal Declaration of Human Rights) adopted by the UNO.
