Venezuela Announces Withdrawal from International Criminal Court Citing Bias
Venezuela has announced its decision to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC), citing perceived geographical bias against African and Latin American countries. The move follows ongoing ICC investigations into alleged crimes against humanity during former president Nicolas Maduro's government. Foreign Minister Felix Plasencia stated that interim leader Delcy Rodriguez directed the withdrawal. The ICC has not yet received formal notification and noted that withdrawal takes one year to become effective, with existing obligations remaining in force during that period.
