ICC is rapidly rising on Google Trends AU due to the recent International Criminal Court (ICC) ruling that it has jurisdiction to investigate alleged war crimes committed by the Taliban and the Afghan government forces.
The ICC is an intergovernmental organization and international tribunal that has the jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for the international crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. The Court was established by the Rome Statute on 17 July 1998 and is located in The Hague, Netherlands.
The ICC’s jurisdiction is limited to crimes committed by nationals of states that have ratified the Rome Statute, or crimes committed on the territory of states that have ratified the Rome Statute. However, the ICC can also exercise jurisdiction over crimes committed by nationals of states that have not ratified the Rome Statute if the United Nations Security Council refers the situation to the ICC.
The ICC’s jurisdiction over the situation in Afghanistan was established by a referral from the United Nations Security Council on 12 March 2003. The ICC has been investigating alleged war crimes committed in Afghanistan since 2006.
In its recent ruling, the ICC found that there is a reasonable basis to believe that war crimes have been committed in Afghanistan by both the Taliban and the Afghan government forces. The ICC also found that there is a reasonable basis to believe that the Taliban and the Afghan government forces have committed crimes against humanity.
The ICC’s ruling is a significant development in the fight against impunity for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The ICC is the only international court that has the jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for these crimes. The ICC’s ruling sends a clear message that those who commit war crimes and crimes against humanity will be held accountable for their actions.
