-         Trial of individuals suspected of war crimes and human rights violation as a basis for a fair society, carrying out justice and a society free of personal revenge.

-         Trial of individuals suspected of war crimes and human rights violations as a precondition for replacing the power of gun with the rule of law and implementation of the principal of democracy.

-         Holding of periodical conferences by Afghans living abroad and occasionally Afghans living inside Afghanistan about the trail of individuals suspected of war crimes and human rights violation so as to prevent forgetting the issue.

-         Appreciation of efforts made by United Nation, national and international human rights organisations in bringing to justice of individuals suspected of war crimes with a remarks that these activities are not enough.

It is mentioning worthy that the issue of war crimes and human rights violation involved during the conflict in the past three decades .must never be used as political tool against certain groups or parties.

Participants of the conference emphasized that the commitments of current government to international community emanating from the agenda of war on terror, has led to the

sharing of power with a large number of persons suspected of war crime and human rights violation. This put the government in unsuitable position in bringing these suspects to justice. Therefore, until favourable political changes in the future, for the time being; the national and international human right organisations must try to draw the attention of international community through seminars, conferences, issuing reports and statements about this problem.
