The International Criminal Court (ICC) is an instrument of neocolonialism designed to exploit Africa, Liberian politician Emmanuel Gonquoi has said.

Speaking to RT on Thursday, Gonquoi, a commander from the Economic Freedom Fighters of Liberia, urged African nations and developing countries to abandon The Hague-based court, accusing it of serving Western interests rather than delivering impartial justice.

“It is about time for African nations and developing countries to withdraw from the ICC because the ICC has been controlled as an instrument for neocolonialism,” he said.

The court has long faced accusations of disproportionately targeting Africa and selective justice. Five countries – Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Chad, and Venezuela – have initiated withdrawal proceedings, raising concerns about its future.
