THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Niger has formally left the International Criminal Court, accusing the judicial body in The Hague of selective justice.
The west African country submitted a letter to the United Nations on Monday, triggering the withdrawal process from the court’s foundational treaty, the Rome Statute.
“While the court had raised great hopes among peoples who cherish peace and justice, it has been misused and exploited,” the letter said.
