\"\"<\/a>The International Criminal Court is currently conducting preliminary examinations into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Afghanistan after 1 May 2003. The Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) considered crimes allegedly committed by the Taliban and affiliated armed groups, Afghan authorities, the US and the CIA, and in 2016 declared it was concluding its assessment before deciding on whether to request the Pre-Trial Chamber to start an investigation.<\/section>\n
