Junta-Led Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso Quit ICC, Call it "Neocolonial Tool" | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Three junta-led West African states—Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso—have announced their withdrawal from the International Criminal Court, calling it an “instrument of neo-colonial repression.” The move reflects growing criticism of the court’s focus on African countries, with 32 of 33 cases and most convictions involving African nationals. The withdrawal will take effect one year after UN notification. The countries cited the ICC’s failure to effectively investigate and prosecute cases while asserting their intent to establish indigenous mechanisms for justice.
