The conference, known as COP29, begins on Monday in Azerbaijan and is one of the most important multilateral talks to include the Taliban, who do not have outside recognition as the legitimate rulers of Afghanistan.

The ICC literally has a rule that a country without a women's team or pathway can't be full members. But the ICC can't even be bothered to enforce that rule (and neither can the cricketing world—of full members, only Australia has cancelled matches against Afghanistan in protest, and even we can't be bothered doing that during multilateral fixtures like world cups), I don't have much hope that more significant bodies will.
