"Afghan people themselves are expected to work harder to fight endemic corruption, to establish or reestablish the rule of law, to build a culture of respects for human rights, especially women's rights," said Kenzo Oshima, the Japanese ambassador to the UN, who serves as head of the delegation. As the first mission of the Security Council to this volatile country in three years, the delegation, grouping representatives from 10 Security Council members, arrived in Afghanistan on Saturday to pay a five-day fact-finding visit, during which it has held a meeting with President Hamid Karzai. Oshima said the delegation would bring forward a report on Afghan situation with some recommendations to the Security Council, which perhaps would be published early in December. He said the report would call for both Afghanistan's efforts to deal with its mounting challenges and "sustained support" from the international community. "The mission recognizes that Afghanistan not only needs more international support, but also needs it for the long time," he said. He also said, "We are particularly concerned with the resurgence of violence, particularly the Taliban insurgency" in this country, which "could impose a severe threat to the ongoing efforts of reconstruction" there. Due to rising Taliban-linked insurgence, Afghanistan has plunged into the worst spate of bloodshed this year after the Taliban regime collapsed five years ago. Over 3,700 people have been killed in violence this year, a rate four times greater than the same period of last year, official statistics said. Moreover, opium production in Afghanistan reached 6,100 tons this year, witnessing a sharp rise of 49 percent than last year and accounting for 92 percent of the total world supply. Oshima said it is hard to say how long it takes to solve problems in Afghanistan, but definitely "It can take some time."
