Appeals judges at the International Criminal Court gave the green light on Thursday for prosecutors to open an investigation targeting the Taliban, Afghan forces and US military and intelligence personnel for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
That decision drew fierce criticism from human rights organisations who said it neglected the desire of victims to see justice in Afghanistan and effectively rewarded states that refused to cooperate with the Hague-based court.Thursday’s hearing could clear the way for Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda to open a full-blown investigation into alleged crimes by the Taliban, Afghan government forces and US forces at secret detention centres.
After a preliminary probe in Afghanistan that lasted more than a decade, Bensouda asked judges in November 2017 to authorise a far-reaching investigation. Even if an investigation is authorised, the prospects of meaningful cooperation by any of the sides in Afghanistan are dim.
