We would recommend that Canada, for reasons of our own national interest, establish -- and publicly announce that we
are establishing -- a Canadian capacity to monitor, in both Kandahar and Kabul, the treatment of Afghan detainees
following their transfer to Government of Afghanistan (GoA) control.

2. In our view, this would be most effective if accompanied by an attempt to reduce the numbers of Afghans detained by
Cdn regular forces and handed to GoA. In our view, detainee methodologies in the field are too in the
detention of a si number of who are noU not or combatants .

3. The large majority of Afghans detained by Cdn forces in Kandahar are tr::lr'c:f~>rr~~rI

4. Some NDS detainees are kept in Kandahar. High-value targets as a rule are transferred to the main NOS facility in
Kabul.
