Afghanistan Must Fill Case in ICJ on Pakistan: Experts

Afghan government must document complaints against Pakistan in the International Court of Justice and UN Security Council, experts say.

The death of Taliban leader in Pakistan and new dialogues for appointing a new leader for Afghan Taliban in Pakistan territory have reinforced the idea of Pakistan supporting insurgent groups in Afghanistan.

Even some members of the Taliban leadership council contacted media outlets and expressed their disagreement with the appointment of Mullah Akhtar Mansoor as the new leader of Taliban group.

“They have a secret safe haven in Pakistan where they kept Mullah Omar till today, they could keep Mullah Omar’s dead for two years, they can continue the war in another format, they are leading the war in Afghanistan,” Fazel Hadi Muslimyar the Senate House Speaker said.

International relations experts say according to the international laws Afghanistan has a right to appeal against Pakistan for supporting terrorism and Afghan anti-government insurgent groups.

“Afghanistan can discuss this issue in the International Court of Justice; they can also litigate contacting the United Nations Security Council,” Latif Nazari an international relations expert said.

“Our enemy must be disclosed, we have to widely campaign to reveal them, we have to find lobbies for this issue in the international level such as our friend countries the United States and others,” MP Nazir Ahmad Ahmadzai stated.

Afghan official also says the government will decide to refer the issue to the International Court if the condition continues.

“If Pakistan denies to cooperate with us honestly, Afghan government will decide to refer the issue to the international courts and UN organizations, we will ask the United Nation to pressure Pakistan,” Asif Ashna Afghanistan’s Chief Executive Officer spokesman said.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that a high delegation from Afghan government will soon travel to Pakistan for the last time to discuss with Pakistani officials about the peace and security issues in Afghanistan.
