The SACP has called on government to speedily withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC). This comes after the court in The Hague decided to issue an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
SACP Deputy National Chairperson, Thulas Nxesi.
This came out at the end of the communist party’s Annual Augmented Central Committee meeting held at the weekend to assess developments in the country. “We are accusing the ICC of double standards and selective justice – that’s our position. Even in your own research, where are the weapons of mass destruction that they were looking for in the middle east, Iraq, after they had destroyed that particular country, after thousands of people were killed? Why were they not held to account? But worse is when the US is not a member of the ICC but wants to subject other countries to the ICC. That’s really double standards.
