Current and past governments of Afghanistan have included a Minister of Justice (Dari: وزارت عدلیه افغانستان, Pashto: د افغانستان د عدلیې وزارت) in the Afghan cabinet.[1]
The Ministry of Justice of Afghanistan assumes responsibilities such as drafting and reviewing laws and decrees of the president, raising public awareness of legal topics, managing affairs relating to legal aid, and printing and disseminating legislative documents.[2] In 1967, the Ministry of Justice was combined with the Attorney General's Office. By 1977, the Ministry of Justice took over the functions of the Chief Justice.[3]
