This paper seeks to engage critically with the overarching legal issues basically revolving around the Afghanistan deferral request under article 18(2) of the Rome Statute , in the aftermath of the Taliban takeover of power in Afghanistan. In the two weeks preceding the completion of withdrawal of the US forces from Afghanistan, which was initially scheduled for 30 August 2021, the Taliban took over control of power in Afghanistan in an unprecedented rapid fashion. This takeover occasioned a hasty and abrupt exit, from power, of the erstwhile civilian administration, thereby engendering a complete collapse of the existing political regime. It also engendered considerable legal discourse and concern about the status of the outstanding Afghanistan deferral request, at the time pending at the International Criminal Court. This paper makes a participatory contribution to the legal discourse.
