This article seeks to explain the complicated relationship between human rights and the rule of law in a country that is unable or unwilling to advance the rule of law. Islamic principles and Afghan legal traditions complicates the already complex relationship between the rule of law, human rights and impunity. The rule of law and human rights are two sides of the same principle, the freedom to live in dignity. The rule of law and human rights therefore have an indivisible and intrinsic relationship. The Afghan government’s promotion of impunity, for warlords and others accused of war crimes, hampers the advancement of rule of law and human rights and negatively affects the path of reforms in the area of human rights and rule of law in Afghanistan.

本文力图解释一个无法或不愿推进法治的国家中人权与法治之间的复杂关系。伊斯兰原则和阿富汗法律传统使法治，人权和有罪不罚之间已经很复杂的关系变得复杂。法治和人权是同一原则的两个方面，即有尊严的生活自由。因此，法治与人权有着不可分割的内在联系。阿富汗政府对军阀和其他被控犯有战争罪的人提倡有罪不罚，阻碍了法治和人权的发展，并对阿富汗人权和法治领域的改革道路产生了负面影响。
