Once again, an institution operating under the name of the “International Criminal Court” has issued a declaration calling for the arrest and prosecution of certain leaders of the Islamic Emirate.
Such announcements and baseless rhetoric can't affect the firm determination and legitimate stance of the Islamic Emirate in any way.
We do not recognize any entity under the title of the “International Criminal Court,” nor do we acknowledge any obligation toward it.
At a time when genocide is ongoing in Gaza, Palestine, by the Israeli Zionist regime and its foreign supporters—with hundreds of women and children being killed daily without reason right under the eyes of the so-called International Criminal Court—raising slogans about human rights, justice, and the court is a matter of shame and disgrace.
The leadership and officials of the Islamic Emirate have established unparalleled justice in Afghanistan based on the sacred laws of Islamic Sharia.
Labeling the laws of Islamic Sharia as oppressive or against humanity, and threatening those who implement them with arrest and prosecution, is a clear expression of enmity and hatred toward the pure religion of Islam and its legal system, and it is an insult to the beliefs of all Muslims.
