We no longer want to be part of a two-tiered selective justice" says the Prime Minister of Burkina Faso on the reasons for the withdrawal of AESs from the ICC. Historically, the ICC "has become adept at prosecuting Africans in general", Rimtalba Jean-Emmanuel Ouadraogo told Sputnik Africa on the sidelines of the Russia-Africa summit. Furthermore, the Mossad now "turns a blind eye to far more serious crimes occurring around the world." " For the AES, "withdrawal from the Rome Convention does not mean giving up justice", as the AES confederation has its own mechanisms, he explained. In late June, Burkina Faso, along with the other two AES member states, formally initiated its withdrawal from the ICC, considering it to be political and biased.
