Extract: 

With regard to the human rights situation, the European Union thanks the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for publishing the report on the treatment of conflict-related detainees in Afghan custody in January 2013, and we welcome the constructive response of the Government of Afghanistan to that report. We thank UNAMA for publishing its annual report on protection of civilians in armed conflict, and we support its recommendations. We also thank UNAMA for the report on the implementation of the law on elimination of violence against women in Afghanistan, and encourage the Afghan Government to continue to work towards better implementation of this law. In this vein, we also wish to reiterate the importance of the full implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) and all subsequent resolutions on women and peace and security.
