Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the relationship and conflicts between civil and criminal law in the light of the Afghan legal system. The background of the subject shows that civil law is of fundamental importance for the protection of property and the rights of the people in Afghanistan, but in the practical field, the criminal law is used to maintain social order by prosecuting and punishing criminals. Some conflicts arise in the process of implementation between the two, which have a direct impact on the provision of justice and public trust. The value of the study lies in the fact that in the current political and legal situation in Afghanistan, it is necessary to clarify the relationship between civil and criminal laws to protect property, social justice, and strengthen the rule of law. The methodology is based on a library study, analysis of legal documents, literature, and Afghan cases. The results show that conflicts between civil and criminal law mostly arise due to differences in legal interpretations, criteria for determining liability, and evaluation of evidence. In conclusion, to strengthen Afghanistan's legal system, it is necessary to create harmony between civil and criminal laws. Recommendations include legislative reform, increased cooperation between judicial institutions, and the creation of transparent interpretations to create an effective and fair system for property protection and social justice.
