Niger hands in formal request to quit ICC

Niger has formally submitted its request to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC), effective June 18, 2027. The move, announced jointly with Mali and Burkina Faso in September 2023, labels the ICC as an 'instrument of neo-colonial repression.' The ICC confirmed receiving Niger's withdrawal notice but expressed regret over the decision.
