The plea comes as several journalists reporting on the Russian invasion in Ukraine have been killed in recent weeks, underscoring the dangers facing journalists covering conflict and the complexities of seeking accountability for their deaths.
The family’s plea is likely to draw attention to the ICC’s stalled investigation into Afghanistan. Known as the court of the last resort, the ICC investigates what are known as atrocity crimes, including crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide.In March 2020, the ICC authorized an investigation into alleged war crimes in Afghanistan but soon transferred it to the Afghan government under then-President Ashraf Ghani.
“It took almost 12 years for the ICC to make a request for investigation, but we still don’t have an investigation,” said Mahir Hazim, an Afghan legal practitioner at Arizona State University.“Part of the frustration comes from the fact that during this time a lot of atrocities happened in Afghanistan and continue to happen,” he said.For Siddiqui’s family, the past several months have been tough. His father said the family felt “emotionally and morally obliged” to approach the ICC.
“We hope the world will also take notice of the extreme challenges and threats journalists face in reporting from conflict zones,” he said.
