Chad Announces Plans to Withdraw from International Criminal Court
Chad announced its intention to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC), citing concerns over the Court's ineffectiveness and perceived bias against African nations. The country submitted a formal letter to the United Nations to initiate the withdrawal, a process that takes at least a year. Chad is the fourth African nation since 2025 to take this step, following Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso. The ICC is currently facing challenges, including the recent removal of Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan amid misconduct allegations. The U.S. government expressed support for Chad's decision, encouraging other member states to reconsider their participation.
