Pictures from Afghanistan: Are we making the same mistakes?

This lecture explores the legal lessons Professor Stafford-Smith learned from visiting Afghanistan. He argues critical Western rhetoric betrays the country’s liberal majority (80% of its population and leadership), drawing parallels to U.S. involvement in other drawn-out conflicts. He asks: what positives do we see in Afghanistan? What legal lessons should we learn from it, about how we can best support those who share our values? How can we create a world that upholds individual rights and the rule of law?
