We are not withdrawing from ICC – SA Presidency

The International Criminal Court (ICC) withdrawal plan announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa has been clarified by the South African administration.

On Tuesday, Mr. Ramaphosa announced that the ruling African National Congress (ANC) had decided to leave the ICC due to “unfair treatment” during a state visit by the president of Finland.

But the presidency acknowledged in a statement on Wednesday that Mr. Ramaphosa had regretfully erred.

It was stated that the nation still formally ratifies the Rome Statute.

With Russian President Vladimir Putin scheduled to visit South Africa later this year, there is pressure on the government to make a decision.

A warrant for his arrest has been issued by the ICC in relation to the situation in Ukraine.
