Given that the UDHR  is not resulted from a particular perspective of a country,  this declaration has assigned the determination of duties limitations of the persons to the society to the governments to which these people belong. Afghanistan has considered its independence, territorial integrity, public order,national security, national goals and interests in predicting duties for the its citizens. The aim of the UDHR has been  the recognition of the rights and individual freedoms. The government of Afghanistan such as the other governments has beenهست been t of Afghanistan such as other con influenced by these rights and freedoms and has inserted them into its constitution and other laws. However, the government of Afghanistan has not been influenced too  much by the UDHR and it has determined the duties of its nationals  according to security concerns, public order, public morality, economic vigor and governing circumstances to the society. The methodology used in this research is based on cross-sectional method of research and the aim of this artical is the assessment of the civil duties inserted in the UDHR and the Constitution of Afghanistan.
