The former prime minister told the UN that Afghanistan’s rulers are responsible for the most ‘indefensible violation of women and girl’s…
Former prime minister Gordon Brown has said the International Criminal Court should prosecute Taliban leaders over a crime against humanity for denying Afghan women and girls education and employment.
Mr Brown urged major Muslim countries to send a delegation of clerics to Afghanistan’s southern city of Kandahar, the home of Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, to make the case that bans on women’s education and employment have “no basis in the Koran or the Islamic religion”, and to lift them.
He also said the Taliban view their rule of Afghanistan as open-ended, drawing legitimacy from Islamic law and facing no significant threat. Mr Brown said 54 of the 80 edicts issued by the Taliban explicitly target women and girls and dismantle their rights, most recently banning them from taking university exams and visiting public places including cemeteries to pay respects to loved ones.
