Global Rights Organizations: Hold the Taliban Accountable Under International Law

VANCOUVER, CANADA – Several prominent human rights organisations, united as the Alliance for Human Rights in Afghanistan, issued a joint statement urging the International Criminal Court to hold those responsible for crimes against women in Afghanistan accountable.

Marking the International Women’s Day today, March 8, the Alliance expressed deep concern over the escalating repressive actions of the Taliban, particularly the impact on the rights of women and girls, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian situation.
