What is International Security Assistance Force?
The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) was created at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) Bonn Conference in December 2001. In August 2003, NATO created a multinational headquarters in Kabul that allowed smaller nations to take a more prominent role in the reconstruction of Afghanistan.
According to the ISAF mandate, the Afghan authorities had the primary responsibility for security. ISAF's role was to support the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRA) in providing and maintaining a secure environment in order to facilitate the re-building of Afghanistan and the establishment of democratic structures, and to assist in expanding the influence of the central government across the country.
What is the mission of ISAF?
ISAF's mission was an integral part of the International Community's comprehensive approach to Afghanistan and its efforts to bring lasting peace and stability back to the country.
