Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger announce exit from International Criminal Court

The Straits Times

|

September 24, 2025

The military-led West African countries Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger have announced their withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC), denouncing it as “a tool of neocolonial repression”.

The announcement, in a joint statement published on Sept 22, is the latest example of diplomatic upheaval in West Africa’s Sahel region following eight coups between 2020 and 2023.

The three countries, which are ruled by military officers, have split from the West African regional bloc Ecowas and formed a body known as the Alliance of Sahel States. They have also curbed defence cooperation with Western powers and sought closer ties with Russia.
