The Taliban thought being hit by A-10s was tough, wait until they meet the International Court of Justice.
Four countries stepped forward to announce “unprecedented” action against the ruling Taliban for its “systematic oppression” of women and girls.
Germany, Australia, Canada and the Netherlands on Thursday accused the hardline Islamist group of violating the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).
“We know that women and girls of Afghanistan are effectively being erased from public life by the various edicts the Taliban have issued,” Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong told reporters in New York.
“The steps we are taking with Germany, Canada and the Netherlands are unprecedented.”
By “unprecedented”, Penny means a completely unprecedented useless and sad joke. Finally the girls of Afghanistan will be saved, not by bombs, but a strongly worded complaint letter.
Human Rights Watch says the legal move by the four Western nations could lead to proceedings at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
As a signatory to CEDAW, Afghanistan is expected to respond to the complaint.
However, the document was signed by the previous government, and so far, the Taliban has shown no sign of changing its stance despite international condemnation.
The Taliban government has yet to respond to the CEDAW action.
I’m sure they’re shivering in the armored vehicles and choppers Biden and Kamala left behind for them.
Sure, they held out for decades to take over Afghanistan in a guerrilla war and terrorist campaign, but how will they ever cope with one stage of a multi-stage international tribunal process notorious for its sheer uselessness?
The Taliban will have 6 months to respond to the CEDAW complaint. If they bother to refer this to their Qatari masters, the Qataris will have one of their influence operations draft a reply about colonialism, climate change and “what about Gaza”? Also Mohammed was the original feminist and all the living Afghan women are happy.
That’s assuming they even bother. Either way the whole thing will employ a lot of bureaucrats, NGOs, international lawyers and other completely useless types while not helping one single girl in Afghanistan.
And the same people cheering this as a smart move agonized over Gitmo and drone strikes on Islamic terrorists in Afghanistan. When given a chance to fix the problem, they write strongly worded complaint letters.
Finally. Now the problem is solved.
Afghanistan’s women and girls weren’t liberated from Islamist rule by gender ministers writing letters, but by men with guns. But that’s “toxic masculinity”. It’s so much better when women and girls aren’t allowed to show their faces or speak in public while their ‘sisters’ conduct international proceedings and welcome in more Muslim migrants who will do the same to them when given half a chance.

Made me laugh. Good humor, of a sardonic nature.

But they are all enthusiastically for rape-murders if they like the context.

It’s always entertaining when the international community – which prides itself on being “multicultural” – gets their panties in a wad when realizing that multiple cultures exist….

If only the Obamas could get a hashtag trending.

THE FIRST STEPS IN SAVING OURSELVES FROM THE MUSLIM MENANCE is to put aside PC and push back the woke fascist.
Until we expose Islam and Muslim violence and terrorism, we are only enabling and abetting the expansion of their global designs,
Sometimes I ponder whether Islam is potentially a greater danger to civilization than the nazis.
