Afghanistan is a state party to International Criminal Court (ICC) and obliged to investigate and prosecute allegations of war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity in the country. This article looks into war crimes in Afghanistan, the ability and willingness of the Afghan government to prosecute the criminals, and the role of the international community and Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) in addressing the past and present war crimes. In this context, NGOs can raise their voice for ICC investigations which will pressurize government in taking necessary steps to reform the justice system to enable it to investigate war crimes and nab the perpetrators. This paper argues that, due to the inability and unwillingness of the Afghan government to prosecute, NGOs can play an important role in furthering the aims of the ICC in Afghanistan by holding accountable those most responsible for war crimes. Nonetheless, there has to be close coordination between the local and international civil society to uphold the rule of law and putting an end to the culture of impunity for stability and sustainable peace in Afghanistan
