The ministry claims that foreign troops and their Afghan collaborators committed war crimes.
Moreover, crimes against humanity during the 20-year occupation of Afghanistan, which have been overlooked by the ICC.
Afghanistan’s deputy interior minister, Mohammad Nabi Omari, called the ICC’s actions unfair and ineffective.
He said that America started wars and caused restlessness all over the world.
Additionally, he criticized the court that did not bring the nation into book.
Omari also referred to the military operations of Israel in Gaza following the Hamas attacks in October 2023.
