BANJUL， Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- Gambia has become the third African country， following Burundi and South Africa， to withdraw its membership from the International Criminal Court.


""As from today， Tuesday， 25th October 2016， we are no longer a member of the ICC，"" said Minister of Information and Communication Infrastructure Sheriff Bojang in a televised statement aired over state broadcaster GRTS on Tuesday Night.


Bojang said the government has started to complete the withdrawal process as stipulated in the statutes that established the court.


Bojang said the Gambian government's decision to withdraw from the court is warranted by the fact that ""the ICC， despite being called the International Criminal Court， is in fact an International Caucasian Court for the persecution and humiliation of people of colour， especially Africans.""


""This Infamous Caucasian Court for the persecution of Africans and especially their leaders， showed its true colours when it declared immediately after the United Kingdom released their investigation report on the Iraq war pronouncing former Prime Minister Tony Blair of committing war crimes; that the ICC will not indict Tony Blair for war crimes.""


""There are many Western countries， at least 30， that have committed heinous war crimes against independent sovereign states and their citizens since the creation of the ICC， and not a single Western war criminal has been indicted，"" he said.


The ICC has opened inquiries involving nine nations， all but one of them African: Kenya， Ivory Coast， Libya， Sudan， Democratic Republic of Congo， Central African Republic (twice)， Uganda， Mali and， most recently， Georgia.


Gambia had taken the European Union to the ICC about a year ago for the mass murder (genocide) of thousands of young Africans on European coastal waters， but nothing has been heard from the ICC， Bojang noted.


""After several warnings to the UN General Assembly and the Security Council， in particular， about the mass murder of young African migrants on European beaches and waters， in annual speeches to the United Nations General Assembly， fell on deaf ears， the Gambia government engaged the ICC to prosecute those leaders and countries responsible for the genocide.""


""We made it very clear that if the ICC fails to bring those responsible to justice， the Islamic Republic of The Gambia would be obliged to use other more stringent options to make those responsible for the deaths of thousands of young African migrants on the European coast face justice or pay a very high price for their racist genocide，"" Bojang said.


Last week， Burundi's president signed a decree making his country the first in Africa to withdraw from the ICC. Three days later， on Friday， South Africa became the second to withdraw.


In Kenya， the executive decision to withdraw from the court is pending， but the Kenyan parliament had passed two resolutions to withdraw the country's backing for the Rome Statute that established the court.
