:This came up recently in connection with a deletion request (that I can't now find). The conclusion was that, as far as we are able to ascertain on the web, Afghanistan currently has no copyright laws at all. So, photographs taken of sights, posters, murals etc should be OK to upload here. --[[User:MichaelMaggs|MichaelMaggs]] ([[User talk:MichaelMaggs|talk]]) 16:58, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

:It sounds to me that Afghan images do not enjoy copyright protection in Afghanistan and in US, so for the time being they should be OK on Commons. If other users agree than we should have a template saying something like that. My only concern would be that new copyright law, which will be written in the future, might be retroactive (as latest Polish or Russian laws were), and the images might be deleted anyway. --[[User:Jarekt|Jarekt]] ([[User talk:Jarekt|talk]]) 17:09, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
