ICC confirms Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger withdrawal
The International Criminal Court announced that Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger have begun the process of withdrawing from the Rome Statute this year, the treaty upon which the Court was established. This process takes a full year to complete and comes after these countries' declarations in September rejecting the Court and labeling it as a tool of new colonial repression. The Court considers itself competent to prosecute perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Court stated that this withdrawal could undermine efforts for international justice and weaken the pursuit of ending impunity.
