ICC 'concerned' over withdrawal of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger

Countries leaving the court “risks undermining the collective pursuit of justing and weakening global efforts to end impunity,” the body said in a statement, AFP reported.

The court has 125 current members but several major powers including China, India, Russia, the US and Israel have not joined.
