Afghanistan, Oct. 6 -- Zabihullah Mujahid has rejected the International Criminal Court's decision to unseal arrest warrants for four senior Taliban officials, saying the Taliban do not recognize the court or attach importance to its decisions.
Mujahid said in a statement Monday that the Taliban condemned the warrants and insisted that its leaders had committed no acts warranting arrest or punishment by the ICC. He said the Taliban considers itself bound by Islamic law and its courts rather than what he described as "intelligence" and "so-called international courts."
Mujahid also urged international institutions to avoid making claims beyond their authority, saying such actions could undermine their "dignity and credibility."
