UN MISSION WELCOMES PROGRESS ON KEY AFGHAN ELECTION LAW AHEAD OF 2014 POLLS
New York, Jul 15 2013 10:00AM
The United Nations mission in Afghanistan has welcomed the approval of
a law regulating the structure and responsibilities of the country's
electoral management bodies, calling it a key step for ensuring
credible presidential and provincial council polls next year.

In a <"http://unama.unmissions.org/Default.aspx?tabid=12254&ctl=Details&mid=15756&ItemID=37032&language=en-US">news
release, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) urged the
rapid presidential endorsement and enactment of the law that was
approved by the National Assembly, as well as its speedy
implementation, specifically the appointment of the senior officials
of the Independent Election Commission (IEC).

"The establishment of the electoral dispute resolution mechanism is
also crucial for ensuring transparent, credible and inclusive
elections," the Mission added.

Next year will see Afghanistan hold a presidential election, slated
for 5 April, as well as the withdrawal of the majority of allied
international military forces, with national forces assuming full
responsibility for security throughout the country.

Top UN officials have highlighted the importance of the 2014 polls,
stressing the need to ensure that they are free and fair and enjoy
wide participation.

UNAMA reiterated its strong support for holding both the presidential
and provincial council elections on time and in accordance with the
Afghan Constitution.

In that regard, the National Assembly's approval of the law regulating
the structure and responsibilities of the electoral management bodies
is "a key step toward establishing a robust electoral architecture for
the 2014 polls," it stated.

The Mission added that it looked forward to the Assembly continuing
its efforts to finalize the Electoral Law, which defines the legal
framework of Afghanistan's electoral processes and ensures the full
legal participation of all Afghans.

"UNAMA strongly urges that this is done before the legislature takes
its recess," it stressed.
