PUTRAJAYA: Wisma Putra will ask the United Nation (UN) Resident Coordinator for Malaysia to clarify the current status and process of Malaysia’s withdrawal as a signatory of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement said retaining Malaysia as a country supporting the treaty as posted on a UN website was very disappointing as the government had submitted its withdrawal letter.
The government issued a letter of withdrawal of Malaysia’s participation in Rome Statute to the UN Secretary General on April 29, as a depository for the treaty after taking into consideration all steps needed to be taken to carry out the withdrawal process. “Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad announced the decision of the Cabinet that Malaysia was withdrawing its participation from Rome Statute ICC on April 5,” it said.The Rome Statute is the treaty that establishes the ICC. — Bernama
