Venezuela justifies the withdrawal by claiming that the court disadvantages countries of the Global South. The government also states that, in its view, the tribunal continues to persecute the Venezuelan people. The announcement was publicly communicated by Venezuelan Foreign Minister Félix Plasencia. Tagesspiegel ↗
The International Criminal Court had been handling proceedings against Venezuelan government officials. Caracas therefore presents the decision as a response to a long-standing dispute with the institution, which is tasked with investigating the most serious international crimes. Die Zeit ↗
The withdrawal announcement represents a further step in the escalating relations between Venezuela and international judicial institutions. Further developments will depend on the formal processing of the announcement within the UN system and on the reactions of the court's member states. El Pais ↗
