The landmark ruling in the case of an Afghan bomb maker is set to make it harder for him to bring a successful legal claim against the Ministry of Defence. The judgment, due on Tuesday, is likely to be seized upon as a victory for campaigners who have argued that human rights laws were making it impossible for British troops to be deployed overseas without risking expensive claims for damages. Serdar Mohammed began a legal action for compensation against the MoD following his capture in 2010 at a time when the British Army was suffering its worst casualties of the campaign. He was detained for 106 days without charge before being handed over to the Afghan authorities. He was jailed by a Kabul court after being convicted of terrorist offences
The novel Prince of Afghanistan by Louis Nowra (2015) explores two Australian soldiers, Casey and Mark who are involved in a mission to rescue hostages captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan.

He was claiming to be innocent at all times but he didn’t have a good legal representation, his lawyer never visit him in jail, as punishment he was in solitary confine for 2 years consecutives,
In addition, he pled guilty to his acts of crime. Therefore, his sentence is more than fair. He will not face execution or torture. He will serve a justified prison sentence for hospitalizing a young boy and supplying underage persons with drugs and alcohol.

Children are usually viewed as young people that do not have very much to think about, or have much responsibility. That is not the case for these individuals. In fact, child soldiers/suicide bombers are almost the exact opposite. A child soldier is defined as “anyone under the age of 18 who is part of any kind of regular or irregular armed force or armed group in any capacity” (Human Rights). They are put through hardship in which they do not deserve. Kids should not have these images in their head this young. They should not have to go through this abuse either. Children are abused and mistreated all around the world, and child soldiers/suicide bombers are one of the worst circumstances.

Religion and Family can be very large contributors to an individual’s life decisions. Ed Husain’s authorization of The Islamist, exploits the decisions made between beliefs and family members with intriguing detail and heart: which reverberates similar things in my life as well (less extreme obviously). Hussein talks about his life as a child and his relationship to his parents while growing up in a small Muslim community. As Husain grows from 16 to 20, so does his belief and interest in the Muslim faith. However, his faith develops into more of a fundamentalist view called Islamism, which in turn goes against most modernistic views in Islam today, and correlates sharia law with personal, political, and social life. Husain develops some realizations and faces a few personal hardships, which make him decide to return to a formalistic and normal lifestyle after 5 years as an Islamist.
Nn President Abdullah Abdullah visited Farghuda's family along with some of the truth commissioners. When he returned from his trip to The United States of America. "The law of The Islamic Republican of Afghanistan will be forced." That's what he indicated to Farghunda's family, her neighbors, the citizens of Afghanistan, including Afghan refugees, kind Afghan humanitarians, and to the rest of the seven billions of us. After expressing his condolences, we don't know if he expressed his regrets to her family by not delaying his trip to Washington DC. Perhaps it was more important to appear, see friends, and make a speech in a charity event in the country of an Afghan refugee, than as one of the Presidents being present in Kabul. Where the only

Canada has played a vital role in international relations for the majority of its 144 year history since the signing of Confederation in 1867. Canada first participated in World War I, then World War II in 1939-1945. Following World War II, Canada was also involved in the Korean War. Canada has been primarily a peacekeeping nation.

Who will benefit from Canada going to war in Afghanistan? These are some of the questions many people have. While Canada has many domestic problems of its own such as homelessness, poverty and increasing national debt, why should Canada get involved with a problem that is across the globe? Are the costs of going to war out weight the political benefits? Modernity, modernization theory and gender stratification are some key concepts that are related to Canada going to war in Afghanistan.
