South Africa has begun the formal process to withdraw from the International Criminal Court. The news comes just two days after another African nation, Burundi, became the first country to ever pull out of the court. Over the years, the court has been accused of disproportionately targeting African leaders. Human Rights Watch criticized South Africa’s move. The group said, “South Africa’s proposed withdrawal from the International Criminal Court shows startling disregard for justice from a country long seen as a global leader on accountability for victims of the gravest crimes.”
