The Gambia says it will pull of the International Criminal
Court (ICC) after accusing the tribunal of persecuting and humiliating
Africans.
The small West African nation joins South Africa and Burundi
in withdrawing from the court.
The ICC was set up to try the world's worst crimes but has
been accused of unfairly targeting African leaders.
Gambian Information Minister Sheriff Bojang said the court
had ignored Western war crimes.
He said the ICC, for example, had failed to indict former
British Prime Minister Tony Blair over the Iraq war.
