The president of the National Assembly (AN), Jorge Rodríguez, reported that the deputies of the Venezuelan parliament will propose that the national government dissociate itself from the International Criminal Court (ICC), in view of the “sepulchral silence they maintain about extrajudicial executions in the Caribbean Sea, by the United States (USA)”.

“The ICC is useless and therefore Venezuela should get out of this institution that swallowed its tongue in the case of these executions by the United States Government,” he said.

The president of the AN asserted that “the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, the president of CELAC, Gustavo Petro, have denounced as illegal, illegal and extrajudicial executions what has happened in the Caribbean Sea since September 2 and no pronouncement has been seen from the International Criminal Court (ICC), which is the one who should take action on the matter.”

He added that “it is the ICC that should classify, as the article in The Washington Post says, as 'war crimes', because there is no declared war, what is happening in the Caribbean Sea are homicides and extrajudicial executions (...) What the ICC is for is to persecute independent countries and countries that do not submit to the designs of the hegemon, but if acts as violatory as these happen, then this body is conspicuously absent.
