The challenge? The Taliban government is not internationally recognized. The Afghan Permanent Mission to the UN still represents the previous government.

Without international recognition or control over Afghanistan’s UN seat, the Taliban will have a hard time legally withdrawing the country from the ICC.
So not the end of the story by any stretch of the legal imagination.
