ITJP Commends ICC’s Request for Arrest Warrants for Taliban Leaders, Urges Broader Investigation into Taliban Crimes

Documenting international crimes and human rights violations, and holding accountable those responsible while collaborating with relevant authorities, is crucial to ensuring the rights of war victims and achieving lasting peace in Afghanistan. I am glad to see meaningful progress in this regard, and I hope to witness its effective outcomes.

"Zabihullah Mujahid, the Spokesperson of the Taliban Government, in reaction to a report by the International Organization for Transitional Justice and Peace on Monday, July 30th, stated that no prosecutor in Afghanistan is in danger. According to the statement by the International Organization for Transitional Justice and Peace, with the Taliban's resurgence in Afghanistan, criminals have been released from prisons, and their release poses an immediate threat to prosecutors who have dedicated their lives to ensuring justice."

Dealing with crimes of the past 20 years and human rights violations in Afghanistan is of utmost importance, and the existence of this organization and its relentless efforts are crucial. I hope you can achieve successes in this path to ensure justice for the victims of war in Afghanistan.
