LAHORE (Lord Media): Open Society Foundations has prepared a legal draft to file a case against the Afghan Taliban in the International Court of Justice. The case aims to prosecute the Taliban for severe violations of the 2003 Women’s Rights Convention.<\/p>\n

Binaifer Nowrojee, President of Open Society Foundations, stated that since the withdrawal of allied forces in August 2021, the Taliban have issued over 100 unlawful decrees against women.<\/p>\n

She further explained that Afghan women face strict restrictions on leaving home without a male guardian, working, and pursuing education beyond sixth grade.<\/p>\n

Members of the United Nations and the European Parliament have labeled the situation in Afghanistan as gender discrimination. Following a legal notice from Australia, Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands in September 2024, this case will serve as a significant pressure tool against the Taliban.<\/p>\n

According to the President of Open Society Foundations, UN legal action and sustained global pressure are decisive weapons for restoring Afghan women’s rights and ending oppressive restrictions.<\/p>\n

Global experts assert that the harsh laws in Afghanistan have made life unbearable for ordinary citizens, depriving women and girls of basic rights.<\/p>\n

Experts believe that legal proceedings against the Taliban regime in the International Court of Justice will increase political and diplomatic pressure on them and damage their global reputation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
