Burundi, South Africa, and Gambia submitted official notification to the UN of their intent to withdraw from the International Criminal Court in 2016, but South Africa and Gambia later withdrew their notification (Foreign Policy, International Criminal Court, NY Times). According to the Rome statute, a state must submit written notification to the Secretary-General of the United Nations of its intent to withdraw; the withdrawal takes effect one year after submission (see Article 127.1 on page 56 of the Rome Statute here). All notifications regarding the Rome Statute can be found here by selecting "Treaty Reference: XVIII-10". Any country that submits a notification between 14 March 2017 and 14 March 2018 will count, regardless of whether it later withdraws that notification. _{Confused? Check our FAQ or ask us for help.}
