The general secretary of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, assured that the nation does not “need” to be in the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The leader pointed out that this organization allows “many crimes in the world” without this instance saying “anything”, for this reason “we don't need to be there, in the International Criminal Court”.

In addition, he indicated this decision is not new, “a long time ago we were about to leave, but a long time ago, then the decision had been taken and now we are materializing it”. He also emphasized that the reasons for this exit respond to the “constant attacks that have been made since that instance against our country, against our people; unfounded allegations and we therefore take advantage of all the disaster that they have there and we get out of it, because it is a real disaster”.

Finally, he recalled that “this is how it was when we left the OAS (Organization of American States). We withdrew from the OAS and then the OAS kept saying that we were part of the OAS and from time to time they declare something stupid and we will continue to move forward.”
