flag Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso leave ICC over claims of Western bias and unequal justice.

flag Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, united as the Alliance of Sahel States, have withdrawn from the International Criminal Court, citing perceived Western bias and selective justice. flag They argue the ICC has disproportionately targeted African leaders while failing to investigate war crimes by Western powers, especially in the 2011 NATO-led Libya intervention, which destabilized the region and fueled armed conflict. flag The move reflects broader regional frustration with foreign military involvement, arms trafficking, and what they view as neocolonial control, demanding sovereignty and an African-led justice system.
