Dans le droit chemin avec l'école juridique de l'armée nationale afghane
L'école juridique de l'armée nationale afghane (ANA) a été mise en place en février 2010 dans ses locaux provisoires au centre d’entraînement militaire de Kaboul. Les participants au premier stage dispensé par l'école ont été diplômés en août 2010, et deux ans à peine après sa création, l'école juridique de l'ANA est bien partie pour s'imposer et gagner sa reconnaissance en tant que centre d'excellence pour la formation juridique au sein de l'ANA.
The School’s mission is to promote justice and the rule of law within the ANA. The Legal School is accomplishing its mission through the training of all ANA Legal Advisors, Judges, Prosecutors, Defence Counsel, Criminal Investigative Division Officers, and Legal Non-Commissioned Officers. It is also training ANA Commanders to perform their command staff duties in accordance with ANA military law and international law.
Since beginning its operations, the ANA Legal School has been assisted in their development by a team of dedicated legal professionals working under the auspices of the NATO Training Mission – Afghanistan (NTM-A) . The ANA Legal School Advisor Team works in support of the NTM-A stated mission goal of supporting the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan as it generates and sustains the Afghan National Security Forces, develops leaders, and establishes an enduring institutional capacity to enable accountable Afghan-led security.
The ANA Legal School curriculum development process has been a joint venture between the ANA Legal Officers assigned to the School and the advisor team. Adopting such a collaborative approach to curriculum development was deemed best given the nature of law and of legal philosophy. Additionally, obtaining ANA buy-in on the legal curriculum, as well as having the Afghans assume a sense of ownership for the end product, was considered essential to the ultimate success of the project. The curriculum development approach taken with the Legal School had the added benefits of ensuring legal accuracy, as well as creating from the foundation a Legal School Faculty that understands and appreciates core educational concepts.
The Afghan National Army Legal School and their colleagues on the Legal School Training Advisor Team have truly exemplified the NTM-A motto, “Shohna ba Shohna / Shoulder to Shoulder”
NTM-A is a coalition of 38 troop-contributing nations charged with assisting the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in generating a capable and sustainable Afghan National Security Force ready to take lead of their country’s security by 2014.
