A newly activated court, established in 1996 but unused until now, is set to hear a landmark case involving an individual accused of serious crimes. The legal body’s long dormancy raises questions about its purpose and why it was only convened for this particular proceeding. Legal experts and observers are closely watching how the court will handle the proceedings, given its unprecedented activation. The case could set important precedents for future legal matters in the region.
Court was created in 1996, but had never been used before Nazira Haji Zada’s case.
