Jude Law's Afghanistan visit
Tuesday, 2 September 2008
Jude Law is currently visiting Afghanistan to promote peace.
The 'Closer' actor has returned to the country's war torn capital Kabul for the second year running to meet Afghan president Hamid Karzai and top United Nations (UN) officials.
The star is hoping to underline the importance of Peace Day - a one-day ceasefire around the world - which reaches its seventh year on September 21.

He said: "When I left Kabul last year, I was hugely moved not by the conflict that I have read so much about, but by the people's courage and the people's sense of hope.
"It seemed that they really want to make this day, the Peace Day, work. And they did. People recognise the day, because they recognise that lives could be saved."
The Oscar-nominated actor is being joined on his trip by Jeremy Gilley, a documentary film director and founder of non-profit organisation Peace One Day.
Law added: "The world celebrates so many days that often separate and segregate us. And yet there is none that ties us all together."
