The first ever People’s Tribunal on women’s rights situation in Afghanistan was held in Madrid in October 2025 bringing together survivors, prosecutors and an international panel of judges. Watch the powerful highlight video of the three days here: youtu.be/kHCB82jHIVY

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) cases are only between countries—not groups like the Taliban. So the case would be against the State of Afghanistan. However, since the Taliban is the de facto authority, they would be held responsible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gfG...

Only governments can bring cases to the ICJ—not individuals or organizations. To take Afghanistan to the ICJ for violating CEDAW, a country must have ratified CEDAW and accepted the Court’s jurisdiction under Article 29. youtu.be/OkRdelgHp_Q?...

Afghanistan is a party to CEDAW, the global treaty protecting women’s and girls’ rights. By accepting Article 29, Afghanistan granted the ICJ authority to hear disputes about violations. youtu.be/4Zp85mNOxjc?...

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is the UN’s highest court, where countries resolve disputes under international law. Based in The Hague, ICJ has 15 judges and issues binding decisions. The Court’s hearings are public and livestreamed, ensuring transparency. youtu.be/M07Z7HWhVZs?...

Out tomorrow We take you behind the scenes at a recent People’s Tribunal for the Women of Afghanistan where Afghan women testified about discrimination, humiliation and torture, living under the Taliban regime.
