As an entity that upholds the religious and national values of the Afghan people within the framework of Islamic Sharia, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan does not recognize any obligation to the Rome Statute or the institution referred to as the “International Criminal Court” (ICC), which is established thereupon. The following points are thus articulated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The historical record of this “court” unequivocally demonstrates that, rather than adhering to the principles of justice and impartiality, it has consistently operated in accordance with political considerations. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, which advocates for mutual respect and principled engagement with other nations, fundamentally rejects such an approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In numerous countries, including Afghanistan, millions of innocent civilians\u2014predominantly women and children\u2014have suffered oppression and been subjected to acts of violence. However, this “court” has conspicuously failed to address these egregious injustices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This institution has undertaken no substantive measures against the war crimes perpetrated in Afghanistan by occupying forces and their allies. These transgressions include the wholesale destruction of villages, educational institutions, mosques, hospitals, and wedding ceremonies. Thousands of women, children, elderly individuals, and even prisoners in captivity have been martyred, yet this “court” has neither initiated investigations nor sought to prevent these acts of oppression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given that many of the world’s major powers are not signatories to this “court,” it is unwarranted for a nation such as Afghanistan which has historically endured foreign occupation and colonial subjugation to be bound by its jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In light of the aforementioned considerations, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan formally asserts that it does not recognize any legal obligation under the Rome Statute and deems the previous administration\u2019s accession to this statute to be devoid of legal validity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
