查德宣布退出国际刑事法院

查德政府于7月27日通知联合国秘书长，宣布意图从《罗马规约》和国际刑事法院（ICC）退出1。这使查德成为不到一年内第四个做出此举动的法语非洲国家，继2024年9月布基纳法索、马里和尼日尔之后1。

查德政府指责ICC存在选择性执法现象1。根据查德方面的统计，ICC现有的13起案件中，9起针对非洲国家，仅4起涉及其他地区；在7名被拘留人员中，只有1人来自非洲大陆以外1。美国国务院非洲事务助理国务卿弗兰克·加西亚在上周与查德官员会晤后，敦促查德重新考虑其ICC成员资格1。

Chad's government has notified the United Nations Secretary-General of its intention to withdraw from the Rome Statute and the International Criminal Court, according to a statement issued by the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on July 27. 1 This decision makes Chad the fourth French-speaking African nation to exit the ICC within less than a year, following Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, which all withdrew in September 2024. 1

The Chadian government has leveled accusations of selective enforcement against the court, arguing that of the ICC's 13 cases, nine target African nations while only four involve other regions. 1 Chad further contended that among seven detained individuals, just one comes from outside the African continent. 1 The U.S. State Department's Assistant Secretary for African Affairs, Frank Garcia, urged Chad to reconsider its ICC membership following a meeting with Chadian officials last week. 1

Chad's current President Mahamat Idriss Deby won the country's election in 2024 with 60.1 percent of the vote. 1 His predecessor, former President Idriss Deby, seized power through a military coup in late 1990 and ruled for over three decades before his death in April 2021. 1
