Chad becomes fifth country to withdraw from ICC

Chad announced its withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Monday, becoming the fifth country to quit in recent months amid growing US pressure and accusations of bias against African nations. The military government cited the court's limited effectiveness and disproportionate focus on Africa. The decision follows similar moves by Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Venezuela, and comes after the Trump administration vowed to 'systematically disable' the ICC.
