La campaña de Trump para desmantelar el Tribunal Penal Internacional consigue sus primeros aliados en África y América Latina
Chad y Venezuela anuncian su marcha tras la presión de Estados Unidos, que ha añadido a la presidenta de la corte a la lista de juristas ya sancionados
El Trump administration has launched a campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court (ICC) and has already secured its first allies in Africa and Latin America. Chad, a member of the ICC since 2007, announced in a phone call from Washington on July 23 that it would abandon the court, stating it is "selective in its activity towards the global south."
On July 24, Venezuela, which was the first Latin American country to join the ICC in 2002, followed suit, alleging that the court "perpetuates the persecution against the Venezuelan people." Both decisions have been welcomed "with satisfaction" by the United States, which has been pushing for the dismantling of an institution it considers harmful to its national interests and those of its close ally, Israel.
