ICC body urges Chad and Venezuela to reverse course on withdrawal

The oversight body of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has formally called on the governments of Chad and Venezuela to reverse their decisions to withdraw from the tribunal. Officials from the oversight body warned that these impending exits pose a direct threat to the framework of global justice.

The diplomatic push by the ICC oversight body coincides with an intensified campaign against the international tribunal led by the United States. The simultaneous withdrawals and external pressures highlight growing challenges to the court's international standing and jurisdictional reach.
