Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger announced Monday that they will withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC), accusing the tribunal of serving “imperial” rather than African interests. The three countries, each governed by military juntas and members of the newly formed Alliance of Sahel States, issued a joint declaration stating that they no longer recognized the ICC as a legitimate forum for justice. Their governments argued that the court has become an “instrument of neo-colonialist repression.” Under Article 127 of the Rome Statute, a state party may withdraw by submitting written notification to the UN Secretary-General. Withdrawal becomes effective one year after receipt of the notification, and until then the withdrawing state remains bound by the statute. The announcement did not specify when the formal notice would be delivered. The ICC, based in the Hague, was established in 2002 to prosecute individuals accused of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. African governments have frequently criticized the court, noting that its investigations have disproportionately focused on African leaders and conflicts. Burundi withdrew from the ICC in 2017, while South Africa and the Gambia previously sought to do so before reversing course. The withdrawal marks another step in the three nations’ broader realignment. In recent months they have expelled French troops, suspended cooperation with regional bodies, and deepened ties with Russia. The decision by Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger comes amid ongoing security crisis in the Sahel region, where armed groups linked to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State have carried out attacks against civilians and security forces. Human rights groups have recently accused state security forces of committing extrajudicial killings and other serious abuses in counterterrorism operations.
