ICC unseals arrest warrants for 4 Taliban leaders over crimes against humanity

The International Criminal Court has unsealed arrest warrants for four senior Taliban figures, alleging crimes against humanity for systematic persecution of women, girls, and others in Afghanistan. This marks a rare ICC action against Taliban leadership, though enforcement is uncertain given the Taliban's non-membership and lack of international recognition. The warrants could complicate any future diplomatic engagement with the Taliban and signal a legal escalation in accountability efforts.
