A significant event has occurred in world politics. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for the supreme leader of the Taliban movement in Afghanistan, Haibatullah Akhundzada, and the country's chief justice, Abdul Hakim Haqqani. According to the court's statement, these individuals are accused of committing crimes against humanity.
Among their charges are persecution and violence against women and girls based on gender, as well as against those who assisted them. According to court documents, the crimes were committed in Afghanistan from August 15, 2021, the day the Taliban came to power, until at least January 20, 2025.
During this period, fundamental human rights and freedoms have been severely violated. Numerous crimes such as murder, deprivation of liberty, torture, rape, and abduction have been committed.
The court emphasizes that although all rules have been implemented for the population, women and girls have been the most targeted. They have been deprived of rights due to their gender and have been restricted in their opportunities to actively participate in public life.
This situation has been sharply criticized by the international community and human rights organizations. The International Criminal Court's prosecution requested the arrest warrants in January 2025.
This issue has been discussed internationally since the Taliban came to power. The change of power in Afghanistan occurred after the withdrawal of US-led international coalition forces from the country.
Experts believe that this court decision could mark a new phase in the protection of human rights in Afghanistan and the active implementation of international legal mechanisms. The public and observers are closely monitoring how the process develops.
