Canada and allies push Afghanistan case at international court
Original: Two years ago, Canada and its allies moved to bring Afghanistan to the ICJ over persecution of women and girls. Now what?
Canada, together with the Netherlands and other allies, took the unprecedented step of initiating proceedings against Afghanistan at the International Court of Justice over the Taliban's systematic persecution of women and girls. Two years on, observers are asking what the case has achieved, as restrictions on Afghan women's education, work and public life continue and accountability through international legal channels remains slow and uncertain.
Why now: The two-year mark of the case has prompted renewed debate about whether international legal action is producing real results for Afghan women.
