"The Afghanistan Documentation Project (ADP) is the product of a partnership between the War Crimes Research Office (WCRO) and the Pence Law Library of the American University Washington College of Law (WCL) and the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP).  It was established to collect and create a fully searchable and publicly accessible database of documents regarding human rights and humanitarian law violations committed in Afghanistan since 1971."

This digital repository contains indexed and searchable documents, useful in the study and understanding of the scope of humanitarian law and human rights violations in Afghanistan from 1971 to the present.

This project also represents an outstanding example of the collaboration between legal scholars, activists and librarians in efforts to make information broadly available to the public.
