 ICC calls on Chad to reverse decision on withdrawal


The International Criminal Court (ICC) expressed concern at the decision by Chad to withdraw from the body and called on it to reconsider.


Venezuela announced its withdrawal from The Hague-based court on July 25 and Chad two days later. Both accused the body of biased in the investigations.


"The presidency regrets these developments," said a statement from the court's leadership, currently made up of Finland, Sierra Leone and Poland, AFP reported.


It said that withdrawal from the Rome statute that set up the ICC "risk undermining the collective pursuit of justice and weakening global efforts to end impunity."


"The presidency calls on Chad and Venezuela to remain committed states parties to the Rome Statute."

Chad accused the ICC of focusing on African countries. The governments of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger have also signalled they want to leave the ICC.


Venezuela, which is the target of an ICC investigation, made similar complaints.


"Venezuela considers that the Court's actions reflect a demonstrated geographical bias, which has disproportionately concentrated its work on African and Latin American countries," said Foreign Minister Felix Plasencia.
