Story summary

The International Criminal Court (ICC) announced on Monday that it will unseal arrest warrants against four senior Taliban leaders accused of committing gender persecution since the Taliban seized power in August 2021. The court issued these warrants in July and September 2025, targeting the supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, Supreme Court President Abdul Hakim Haqqani, Education Minister Habibullah Agha, and Higher Education Minister Neda Mohammad Nadim. These officials are implicated for implementing policies that restrict girls' education beyond primary level and exclude women from higher education. The ICC's decision to unseal these warrants is expected to intensify international pressure on the Taliban regime.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
