Afghanistan's national peace summit held earlier this month was aimed at ending the nine-year insurgency in Afghanistan [JURIST news archive] and bringing peace to the country. Two days after the summit, Karzai announced the creation of a commission to review the cases of all suspected Taliban militants [JURIST report] currently being held in custody. Suspects that are being held without sufficient evidence will immediately be released. Karzai's announcement was the first step toward achieving the goals set at the conclusion of the summit [press release], which included implementing a framework to negotiate with disaffected members of the country, ending corruption in the government and creating a national government valuing the input of all citizens. While the resolution called for the release of all prisoners being held in the country without sufficient evidence, it is unclear whether the new commission will examine the cases of suspects currently in US custody.
