The chief prosecutor of the U.N.'s International Criminal Court is seeking an arrest warrant for the Taliban chief for suspected crimes against humanity.

The requested warrants target Haibatullah Akhundzada, the reclusive Kandahar-based leader of the Taliban, and Abdul Hakim Haqqani, the group’s chief justice.

The International Criminal Court prosecutor said on Thursday he had applied for arrest warrants for two Taliban leaders in Afghanistan including supreme spiritual leader Haibatullah Akhundzada, accusing them of the persecution of women and girls.

The experts encouraged the ICC Prosecutor to expedite further arrest warrants, reinforcing the international community’s commitment to justice and accountability. This unprecedented action demonstrates that gender persecution, a crime too often overlooked, will no longer go unpunished.
