Essay War in Afghanistan

Costa Rica, War in Afghanistan

Costa Rica as a single country has not promoted any initiative regarding the Afghanistan War, but has supported all resolutions adopted by the U.N General Assembly. The Council also authorized the US and its NATO nations to set up the International Security Assistance Force to provide military support for a newly-established pro-Western government (the United States also continued to run a separate anti-terrorist military operation). Costa Rica does not spend a lot of money in troops or in weapons. Other efforts include promoting good governance, and the rule of law, training of police. The Untied Nations says “Until Afghanistan achieves a lasting and stable peace designed and supported by Afghanis; there can be no prospect of progress, electoral or otherwise. The Assembly, as it had in previous years, acted without a vote and adopted a resolution that enveloped issues from the expanding drug trade and terrorist activities of the Taliban and Al-Qaida groups to the daily tragedies that comes from anti-personnel landmines and ongoing recruitment of children by terrorist groups.
