As the United States ratchets up the pressure on the International Criminal Court, sanctioning two more high-ranking staff members in recent weeks, a small but growing number of the global tribunal’s member states have announced they will quit the institution.
The recent departure of Venezuela and Chad brings the number of countries to pull out of the court in the past year to five, joining Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. The surge in withdrawals comes as the ICC faces hostility from Washington and a leadership crisis after ousting its own chief prosecutor.
So more or less all the countries leaving have internal conflicts and/or commited atrocities faling into ICC resort… what a coincidence.
Well, Venezuela is heavily “influenced” by the US currently as well. So no surprise it does what the US wants it to do on the ICC.
venezuela. boy thats been in the news recently. if I could only remember why.
huh, looks like chad is looking to join the alliance of sahel states
Seems like the ICC was sabotaged from within.

Yeah. Nuremberg was such a waste of time. You know all these innocent Nazi’s being prosecuted after years in power.
Wait… What?
What do you do when the country itself is committing a crime?
Go to war with it. But none of the other countries on the planet want to 🤷♂️
