Venezuela notifies UN of withdrawal from ICC

-

July ‌24 (Reuters) - Venezuela ​has formally notified the ⁠United Nations of its "irrevocable" decision ​to withdraw from ‌the International Criminal Court, Foreign Minister ⁠Felix Plasencia ⁠said on Friday.

The government justified the move by ‌alleging a "geographical bias" ⁠within ‌the court, ​claiming it disproportionately targets nations ‌in the ​Global ⁠South, specifically across Africa ‌and ⁠Latin America, Plasencia said in a ​post ‌on X.
