§ Lord Judd asked Her Majesty's Government:
§ What evaluation they and their allies are making of the financial and human resources necessary to equip, train and prepare an adequate system of justice for Afghanistan; and what steps they are taking to ensure that these resources are provided. [HL4896]
§ Baroness AmosThe Government recognise that building an efficient and properly accountable security sector is essential for stability and order in Afghanistan. The justice system is central to a reformed security sector. The Government of Italy are leading on this sector in consultation with the UN. The UK has earmarked up to £1 million towards the development of an appropriate institutional framework and strategy. We continue to urge others to make contributions to this and other security sector initiatives.
