Yes, countries that are members of the International Criminal Court (ICC) can withdraw from the court by providing a formal notification to the UN Secretary-General. The withdrawal takes effect one year after the notification is received. Consequences of withdrawal may include a loss of international legal protections and accountability for war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity, potentially leading to diminished international standing and credibility. Additionally, ongoing investigations or prosecutions involving the withdrawing state may be affected.
