Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what arrangements have been made for international
supervision and monitoring of the forthcoming elections in Afghanistan. [178039]
Mr. Mike O'Brien: The Joint Elections Management Body (JEMB), comprised of the Afghan Transitional Administration (ATA) and UN
representatives, and chaired by Interior Minister Jalali, is responsible for election preparations. As part of its electoral support
plans, the UN Development Programme (UNDP) intends to establish an `Observation Office' to facilitate national and international
election observation. The Office is intended to support information exchange between Afghan and international observers and other
interested parties; provide briefing packages for observers; and develop training materials for Afghan observers.
We are currently discussing with EU partners and the European Commission a range of measures to support the elections, including
deployment of monitors and advisers. There are also likely to be observer teams from a number of other countries. Work is also in
hand to develop domestic monitoring capacity. Afghan civil society organisations involved in this have formed a `Core Group' to
coordinate domestic monitoring activities.
