Under the 2004 Constitution of Afghanistan, the attorney general was the government's chief legal advisor and was also the nation's top prosecutor. After taking over the government in 2021, the Taliban transferred responsibility for the prosecution of crimes to the country's judiciary. The Taliban has appointed an acting attorney general, Shamsulldin Shariati, but it is unclear what his responsibilities are.
