HINIĆ Danilo. Human Rights Protection and the Role of International Organizations: Case Study Afghanistan[Master Thesis]. Comenius University in Bratislava, Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences. Institute of European Studies and International Relations. Supervisor: doc. JUDr. PhDr. Lucia Mokr, PhD. Degree of Professional qualification: Master of European Studies. Bratislava: FSEV UK, 2016. 67p.The aim of this thesis is to analyze the international organizations status, competences and implementation in conflict area- Afghanistan, from the point of implementing the principle of human rights protection as guaranteed by international law. First chapter of thesis will deal with theoretical concept of meaning of human rights and human rights protection under international law. There will be also defined difference of international intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations work and competences in order to have clearer picture of further work. In second chapter there will be defined main methods that are going to be used in empirical part. In the second chapter there is done operationalization which is going to support empirical part and how it looks like and particularly in relation to research question, aim and hypotheses. Third chapter deals briefly with history of Afghanistan and main human rights concerns that appeared during Taliban rule. Fourth chapter is supposed to show as how UN, NATO, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International are able to influence development of human rights in Afghanistan and that is supposed to answer on research question, fulfill aim and prove hypotheses.Key words: Afghanistan, human rights protection, rights of women, international law, UNAMA, ISAF, HR Watch, AIPrefaceIn year of 2008 I have read a book Kite Runner written by Afghan writer Khaled Hosseini. It was my first meeting with country of Afghanistan and also with huge human rights violations done by Taliban. Than I have read another his book Thousand Splendid Suns. I was impressed with Afghan culture and history but shocked with all human rights abuses that happened and are happening in that country. Especially I was interested in severe breaches of rights of women and all that women have to suffer from discrimination to sexual violence, forced marriage and stoning to death. When I became student of European Studies and International Relations I got interested in international law and functioning of international organizations. As we know that international law covers human rights protection I became interested in ability of international organizations to influence development of human rights in countries where basic human rights are violated. We all know that it isnt easy work. Often despite efforts of crucial international organizations human rights are still violated and laws on protection of human rights still are not effectively applied. So in my Master Thesis I decided to analyze how international organ izations can influence human rights development in conflict area: Afghanistan. In this thesis I wanted to research how international organizations influenced building of human rights system under international law provisions in Afghanistan and whether they were able to influence implementation of these rights. My special focus are women rights because their rights were mostly violated during Taliban era and their basic rights still appear to be violated despite many efforts of IGOs and NGOs. I want to show that most of success in development of human rights system and implementation of that system was achieved thanks to IGOs as they are politically most influential as their provisions are legally binding and Afghan government is accountable to them. I will show that in operating of NGOs they appear to be useful sources of information but in appealing and pressuring they do not contribute much to development of human rights system and situation. That is supposed to show how much I GOs and NGOs differ in their practical success despite that they have same aims.Table of ContentsINTRODUCTION.11.Theory: Human Rights Protection and International Organizations..31.1.
