Archives Provide Evidence of Afghan War Crimes

Thirty years of war have left Afghanistan with more than a million dead and many more disabled. Three million people have fled their homes in the decades of fighting.

Since the fall of the Taleban in 2001, a growing number of Afghans have been calling for war criminals to be brought to justice. Human rights groups have gathered a growing amount of evidence which could be used if trials are ever held.
