The Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) has called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to launch an investigation into human rights violations in Afghanistan. 
 
In view of the ongoing situation in the country, Afghanistan’s legal and judicial institutions are not able to investigate war crimes in the country, therefore, the Afghan government should ask for help from the International Criminal Court, said AIHRC chairperson Sima Samar while delivering a speech at the inauguration of “National Research on The Protection of Rights of Victims of War and Terrorism”.
