Venezuela devine primul stat care părăsește Curtea Penală Internațională după ce SUA au cerut abolirea Statutului de la Roma

Venezuela has officially withdrawn from the International Criminal Court, citing bias against countries in the Global South. The decision, announced by Foreign Minister Felix Plasencia, is deemed irrevocable. The ICC has been investigating human rights abuses under former President Nicolas Maduro since 2017, which the Venezuelan government denies. The U.S. welcomed Venezuela's withdrawal and called for other countries to follow suit. The ICC, established by the Rome Statute, addresses serious crimes like genocide and war crimes. Despite Venezuela's exit, ongoing investigations will not be affected.
