Afghanistan taken to ICJ re Convention on Discrimination Against Women www.theguardian.com/world/2024/s...

Taliban to be taken to international court over gender discrimination

Afghanistan would have six months to provide response before ICJ would hold hearing

Article is slightly confusing because CEDAW requires good faith negotiations to resolve the dispute before starting ICJ case. I have read that the earliest the case could be filed is March 2025. If they don't jump through the hoops, case will be thrown out like the Georgia v Russia CERD case.

Yeah good luck with that 🙄

Interesting . But how does this work ? Is it a “tacit” way of recognizing the government of the Taliban , in a way that it wouldn’t be morally unacceptable? The ICJ is a court for UN member states, represented by recognized governments ?

Suspect the response will be short and not sweet.

I imagine that will work just as it did with condemning Israel 😐
