Chad has announced its intention to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC), joining a growing list of nations questioning the court’s efficacy and impartiality. The country stated the ICC’s impact has been “limited and uneven,” and criticized its disproportionate focus on Africa. This decision follows similar moves by Venezuela, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, raising concerns about the future of the court’s universality. Based in The Hague, the ICC prosecutes individuals accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Chad’s withdrawal underscores growing discontent with the ICC amongst some African nations, who perceive selective justice. This latest departure further challenges the ICC's authority and its ability to hold perpetrators of atrocities accountable globally. The withdrawal process is now underway for Chad.
