Uganda

In 2014, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni called on all African countries to review their membership to the ICC. Along with Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, Museveni is one of the most vocal critics of the ICC, referring to the court as a “bunch of useless people.” Uganda is a ratified signatory of the Rome Statute, but Museveni’s comments appear to show a willingness by his government to ditch the court at the slightest prompting.

The Ugandan president was not always against the ICC. His government referred some members of the rebel group Lord’s Resistance Army to the court in 2003.
