"Taliban" Calls on Karim Khan to Respect Internal Affairs and Religious Values of Afghanistan
World
Yesterday, we reported that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Khan, filed a claim against the leadership of the "Taliban," specifically against the leader Haybatullah Akhundzada and the chairman of the Supreme Court Abdul Hakim Haqqani, for violations of the human rights of women in Afghanistan. In response, the "Taliban" called on Karim Khan not to interfere in the internal affairs and religious values of Afghanistan, urging him to respect them and avoid tarnishing the reputation of Afghanistan, which is striving to regain its position in the international community.
The significance of this statement is substantial, as the "Taliban's" opposition to the ICC's actions aims to defend Afghanistan’s internal policies and calls for respect for the values of other nations. The "Taliban" government has labeled the ICC's actions as illegal, claiming they undermine the credibility of the international court system.
For the members of Afghanistan's government, this issue is not only about the country’s internal political situation but also about how international laws are applied in practice.
Prosecutor Karim Khan had previously called for the prosecution of individuals responsible for persecuting women and those who do not conform to the "Taliban’s" ideological gender identification. According to Khan, these persecutions have been ongoing since August 15, 2021, and are widespread across Afghanistan.
The "Taliban’s" statement, on one hand, seeks to protect its internal policies, but on the other hand, it could spark further debate and discussions in the international arena. The future positions of the ICC and other international organizations will raise new questions about how to preserve and advance human rights principles around the world.
