Venezuela Initiates Rome Statute Withdrawal Amid ICC Investigation
Venezuela has formally notified the UN Secretary-General of its intent to withdraw from the Rome Statute, effectively initiating its exit from the International Criminal Court (ICC). This action does not terminate the ongoing ICC investigation into alleged crimes against humanity, as the court retains jurisdiction over acts committed while Venezuela was a party to the treaty. Confidence in this assessment is high.
