The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The ICC warrants represent long-overdue accountability for the Taliban's systematic erasure of women from Afghan society. These aren't just policy differences, but crimes against humanity that have turned Afghanistan into the world's most restrictive place for women. The international community must enforce these warrants to show that gender apartheid has consequences.

Icc-CpiAtlantic Council

Establishment-critical narrative

This ICC action demonstrates Western hostility toward Islamic governance and Afghan sovereignty. The Taliban has established justice based on sacred Islamic law, and labeling Sharia as oppressive shows a clear bias against Muslim beliefs. Afghanistan's internal affairs should be decided by Afghans, not foreign courts with no jurisdiction.
