Venezuela has officially notified the United Nations of its decision to withdraw from the International Criminal Court. Felix Plasencia announced the move, stating that the government justified the action by alleging a geographical bias within The Hague-based court.

The formal notification marks a significant diplomatic step by Caracas in its ongoing friction with international judicial bodies.
