The International Criminal Court and the UN as a whole are becoming obsolete, Arnaud Develay has said
The International Criminal Court (ICC) and other UN bodies are not representative of the emerging multipolar word, French international law expert Arnaud Develay has said.
Last month, three West African states – Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger – announced their withdrawal from the ICC, labelling it a “global example of selective justice.” They accused the Hague-based court of maintaining “an inexplicable, disconcerting, and complacent silence” on certain crimes, while “relentlessly” targeting actors “outside the closed circle of beneficiaries of institutionalized international impunity.”
In an interview with RT on Tuesday, Develay said that in recent years “we are seeing a weaponization of what were supposed to be neutral international instruments institutions.”
“We have seen it with the ICC, but we also have seen it with the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency),” he said.

“This is just a long pattern… It [also] involves the OSCE (Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe), it involves the OCPW (Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons), all those organizations, and the UN at large,” he said.
Develay said that he agrees with world leaders who have recently spoken of the “obsolete nature” of the ICC and similar institutions.
“They are not representative of the current world order. They are not taking into account the multipolarity as it becomes more and more obvious for everyone,” he stated.
