When African States walk away from the ICC, victims pay the highest price

The formal request by Niger’s military government to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC) this month should prompt sober reflection — what happens to victims of atrocities in Niger, and indeed across ICC member states, when governments abandon the world’s court of last resort? Niger’s withdrawal, which will take effect one year after notification under Article 127 of the Rome Statute, will make it only the third country in the world—after Burundi and the Philippines—to complete the process of leaving the ICC. The timing is significant. Niger is currently under military rule following the July 2023 coup and now joins Mali and Burkina Faso, fellow members of the Alliance of Sahel States, all under military rule and all facing allegations of serious human rights abuses. Mali and Burkina Faso have also announced their intention to withdraw from the ICC, though they have not yet submitted formal requests to do so.
