Currently, the judiciary is incapable of trying a case of petty theft much less of ensuring human rights. A Supreme Court dominated by conservative factions has selected judges and prosecutors, and Afghans have little legal redress in a system that allows local commanders, who hold sway over the judiciary, to act with impunity.
司法改革也是另一项急迫问题。目前，该国司法体系无法审理小额的偷盗案件，更不用提保障人权。由保守派别控制的最高法院挑选法官和检察官。而且，该国的体制允许控制司法的地方指挥官为所欲为，阿富汗人在这一体制中基本得不到法律赔偿。
