KABUL (Pajhwok): The Canadian government has been urged to amend its Criminal Code as a matter of urgency to ensure that humanitarian aid can flow into Afghanistan without any legal hitch.
The call came from Canadian women’s rights activists, who argued anti-terror financing provisions under the current Criminal Code were hampering humanitarian aid agencies from delivering legitimate assistance to Afghanistan.
They said basic needs, including healthcare and education for the people of Afghanistan, could not be met. Urgent legislative action was required to address the issue, they believed.
The activists called for creating opportunities for the Canadian government . . .
