Promote Democracy and Peace in Afghanistan

When President Obama introduced his new strategy for stabilizing Afghanistan and Pakistan – pledging additional troops and more civilians to spur Afghanistan’s development – he noted that success in the region depends on support from the United Nations and the international aid organizations.

For years we have watched our troops in Afghanistan fight a war built on unfocused and unsuccessful policies. It’s important that the U.S. abandon its “go it alone” approach, and recognize the value of international partnership instead. Urge President Obama to continue to promote the role of the United Nations and international aid organizations in the region »

In Afghanistan, the UN has played a vital role in promoting democracy, humanitarian assistance and stability over the past seven years. And just this year alone, the UN helped register almost 4.5 million voters – 38% of whom are women.

Clearly, there is plenty of work that remains to be done. But the U.S. has not, and cannot, do it all alone. To establish a better future in Afghanistan and defeat Al Qaida, we need to continue to support and work with the UN to promote democracy and humanitarian aid »
