For a change, the ICC is doing something proper, publishing arrest warrants for leaders of the jihadists in Afghanistan:

The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued two arrest warrants for the “supreme leader” of the Taliban, Hibatullah Akhundzada, and the terrorists’ top judge Abdul Hakim Haqqani on Tuesday in response to the Taliban’s systematic abuse and repression of women and girls, which the court deemed a crime against humanity.

The Taliban has ruled as the uncontested government of Afghanistan since August 15, 2021, when its jihadists stormed the capital of Kabul and sent then-President Ashraf Ghani fleeing. The Taliban takeover followed a decision by then-President Joe Biden to violate an agreement brokered by predecessor Donald Trump that would have seen U.S. forces withdraw from the country on May 1 of that year; the violation prompted the Taliban to launch a wave of tens of thousands of attacks on the U.S.-backed government that resulted in the collapse of the nation’s armed forces and the fall of Kabul.

The Taliban regime has prioritized erasing women and girls from society, banning them from leaving their homes as soon as they took over and increasingly stripping them of rights, including the rights to education, freedom of movement, free expression, and even Islamic prayer. Afghan women have consistently defied Taliban terrorists by staging protests nationwide, but the ruling regime has responded by increasingly restricting the right of girls and women to simply exist.

The United Nations estimated in August that at least 1.4 million girls had lost access to secondary education since the Taliban took over in 2021. Human rights groups documented a significant spike in femicide, defined as “intentional killing with a gender-related motivation,” since the Taliban seized power.

Of course, this still doesn't excuse that the ICC previously tried to pursue Israeli leaders for defending the country against the same Islamofascist monsters, and for that, the ICC owes an apology. For now, the charges leveled against the Taliban are entirely justified in this case, and the erasure of women they're conducting is absolutely repulsive. Yet there's no chance the ICC will ever acknowledge the Religion of Peace is the foremost problem that resulted in this human rights fiasco.
