The International Criminal Court has unsealed arrest warrants for four Taliban officials over persecution of women and girls.
The International Criminal Court unsealed arrest warrants on Monday for four Taliban officials, with the charges relating to the persecution of women and girls in Afghanistan. The warrants specifically targeted Taliban education ministers.

The ICC's action focuses on systematic persecution carried out under Taliban rule, though the warrants are not expected to lead to imminent arrests given the Taliban's control of Afghanistan and non-cooperation with the court.
