Legal Effects of African’s Withdrawal from the International Criminal Court

After establishing the International Criminal Court (ICC), by passing the time, it was expected that ICC became turning point in terminating the impunity in the world. Especially in concern of those countries that suffer from human rights breaks. But as all of the cases that the ICC is currently investigating and prosecuting have to do with crimes allegedly committed in countries in Africa. This has raised questions as to whether this is an example of the selectivity of international criminal law. African nations believe that the International Criminal Court is targeting Africa in its prosecutions. The ICC has been undermining African states. So Africans Threat that they will withdraw from ICC. If they do, definitely, it will give rise to serious legal effects for both ICC and Africa. In other hands, this decision caused the serious protest around the world. This group believes that African’s claim is not reasonable and rational. This claim is only an excuse for quailing the justice.
