Afghan children at their camp on the outskirts of Kabul, Afghanistan, 18 September 2013. Afghanistan's independent human rights commission might lose its «A» status in the upcoming review, which might affect its work and funding, UN and Afghan officials said 17 September. The reason was “the process leading up to the appointment of five new members” of the Afghan rights commission, which was “sufficiently flawed” for it to lose its «A» status, according to Navi Pillay, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights.
