Why Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger quit the International Criminal Court

Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger announced their immediate withdrawal from the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Monday, denouncing the intergovernmental organization as an instrument of "neo-colonialist repression."

In a joint statement the three Sahelian states further argued that they ratified the Rome Statute between 2000 and 2004 and had since cooperated with the international tribunal, but that the ICC turned into a tool of "imperialism" and a "global system of selective justice."

The three military-led countries formed the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) following coups between 2020 and 2023 and have since distanced themselves from Western influence, particularly France, their former colonial power, turning to Russia for military assistance.

The ICC has prosecuted over 30 cases since its 2002 inception, with a significant majority focused on Africa, leading to accusations of anti-African bias. In 2017, Burundi became the first nation to withdraw from the ICC, and other African states have threatened to follow suit.

The ICC has prosecuted 33 cases since its 2002 inception, with all but one involving African countries, leading to accusations of anti-African bias from various leaders including Rwanda's President Paul Kagame.

The ICC withdrawal represents a justified rejection of Western judicial imperialism that has systematically targeted African nations while ignoring crimes by powerful countries. Out of 33 cases since 2002, only one involved a non-African nation, exposing clear bias.

This withdrawal undermines international justice and accountability at a critical time when Sahel armies face accusations of civilian crimes amid escalating jihadist violence. The move weakens civilian protection oversight precisely when regional violence has reached deadly new heights.
