Abstract

This study analyzes the Bacha Bazi phenomenon in Afghanistan through the lens of international law, exploring its potential classification as a crime against humanity. It examines the physical, psychological, and sexual harm inflicted on underage boys and highlights the Taliban’s involvement. It assesses the harm inflicted on underage boys and the Taliban’s involvement while also reviewing Afghanistan’s revised penal code and its implementation challenges. The study suggests utilizing the Responsibility to Protect framework to address the issue, emphasizing collective action and cooperation between Afghanistan and the international community to combat Bacha Bazi and protect children’s rights.
