The Junta-led West African country, Niger, has become the latest country to find grievance with the International Criminal Court (ICC), exiting the establishment as a result.
Recent reports show that the West African country submitted a letter to the United Nations on Monday, to formally exit the group, owing to its suspicion of the judicial body engaging in selective justice.
"While the court had raised great hopes among people who cherish peace and justice, it has been misused and exploited," the letter read partly.
Niger has become the third nation to withdraw from the organization, fulfilling the formal notification of intent issued last year alongside Mali and Burkina Faso.
The court, as seen on PBS, expressed disappointment at the departure. "We regret any decision to depart from the collective effort to end impunity for the most serious international crimes," the court said in a statement.
