Research in political science and social management, as well as lessons learned from the bloodstained history of Afghanistan, demonstrate that among the standard political systems of contemporary human societies, a republic is the only political system that can be established based on the free choice of the people resulting from their direct vote, and hence guarantees all of the citizenship civil rights.

The citizenship rights of people are viewed as one of the most revered and distinguished values in the ANLP platform. Based on these values, ensuring and securing the rights to citizenship of each inhabitant of Afghanistan is one of the main objectives of our political agenda.

The strength and stability of Afghanistan lies in the complexity and diversity in the fabric of its population, the cultural diversity and diversity of its natural geography. The ANLP believes that everyone who lives in this geography, no matter what language they speak, what religion they practice and what culture they have, is an integral part of the free nation of Afghanistan, and as an equal citizen, they have inalienable citizenship rights and obligations. Therefore, the ANLP believes in embracing this diversity and considers it a fundamental intellectual value for Afghanistan’s social health, stability and tranquility. This cultural diversity is part of the Afghan fabric and we believe is a source of strength.

Ultimately, the basic principles and undisputed legal basis of legitimacy in political authority and governance is undoubtedly the people’s free will through free elections at different community levels and specific times.

One of the main factors in the collapse of political systems and the fall of governments in Afghanistan is the concentration of decision-making power, policymaking, and political actions in the hands of either one person, or a family, or a small political interest group at the helm of the government.

The great lesson learned from the modern history of Afghanistan is that the people in rural areas do not feel ownership, or being a part of the decision-making mechanism of the country, due to a concentration of political power and administrative decision-making in Kabul. Unless the interest dynamics and the destiny of rural and urban centers are not tied, this will remain the case.

The ANLP pursues a balanced social and cultural development agenda for all citizens of the country based on the universal values organized in the proposed charter of fundamental rights of Afghan citizens. We cherish the principle of diversity in the social fabric of our community and recognize each subset as part of the whole civilizational treasure and cultural richness of Afghanistan.

The ANLP believes that economic development and social prosperity are impossible without a fair distribution of national wealth and a balanced participation of citizens in building and developing their country. While in today’s world, countries can achieve their primary economic goals through foreign investments, we believe that the growth of national capital is also significant in developing the basic infrastructure of an underdeveloped country such as Afghanistan. Therefore, a discourse on these critical issues must be conducted through specialized policy tools at the appropriate times.

The ANLP main foreign policy objectives will be based on mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, especially with the neighbors, and a positive neutrality of Afghanistan vis-à-vis other countries.

Currently, the security phenomenon has become a significant and fundamental debate in our region and the world. The term security is essentially covers wide range of social, political, military, cultural, and economic issues, and a wide spectrum of human security in its general sense, including the individual safety of citizens and the national security of countries.
