A woman's place perspectives on Afghanistan's evolving legal framework
Well before international intervention began, Afghanistan had signed international conventions that protected human rights. In 1948, Afghanistan voted in favour of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Then, in 1983, Afghanistan ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Finally, in 1994, Afghanistan ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Post-Taliban Afghanistan has been shaped by the ratification of other international instruments protecting human rights, specifically women's rights, reaffirming the importance of a further equitable development of Afghan society. In 2003, Afghanistan was the first Muslim country to ratify, without reservations, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Article 2 of CEDAW explicitly refers to the obligations of signatory states to reform or develop a constitution that reflects national principles of equality and non-discrimination.

"Bien avant le début de l'intervention internationale, l'Afghanistan avait signé diverses conventions internationales protégeant les droits humains. En 1948, l'Afghanistan a voté en faveur de la Déclaration universelle des droits de l'homme. Puis, en 1983, l'Afghanistan a ratifié le Pacte international relatif aux droits économiques, sociaux et culturels (PIDESC) et le Pacte international relatif aux droits civils et politiques (PIDCP). Enfin, en 1994, l'Afghanistan a ratifié la Convention relative aux droits de l'enfant (CDE). L'Afghanistan de l'après-talibans a été façonné par la ratification d'autres instruments internationaux protégeant les droits humains, en particulier les droits des femmes, ce qui a contribué à réaffirmer l'importance de poursuivre une démarche d'équité dans la société afghane. En 2003, l'Afghanistan a été le premier pays musulman à ratifier, sans réserve, la Convention sur l'élimination de toutes les formes de discrimination à l'égard des femmes (CEDEF). L'article 2 de la CEDEF énonce explicitement l'obligation qui incombe aux États signataires de réformer leur constitution ou d'élaborer une constitution afin d'instituer des principes d'égalité et de non-discrimination à l'échelle nationale."
