Description:	North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was an alliance formed in 1949 through the signing of Brussels and Washington Treaties with one of the aims of providing security to the 28 members under its fold. North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allied members claimed that the interference of NATO on Afghanistan has the legal backing from the U.N Articles 5 and 51 where there is need for collective defense of any NATO member against armed attack from any non member of NATO. However, this research was done on the basis on discussing its objectives which include analyzing the reasons behind the expansion of NATO, the justifications of NATO's intervention in Afghanistan after the event on 11th of September, 2001 and the economic, security, and political, military and legal implications of NATO's interventionin Afghanistan. This study revealed that NATO's use of military forces on Afghanistan and its citizens was illegal as none of the Articles and the Resolutions of the United Nations Security Council approved the use of military forces on any sovereign states of the world. This invariably means that NATO violated human rights in Afghanistan and international laws as it has no right to fight a sovereign state with military forces thereby causing deaths of innocent citizens of Afghanistan. Furthermore, it was suggested that NATO should interpret the contents of the relevant Articles of U.N before implementation to avoid violation of international laws.,Master/Sarjana
