Dodik: U.S. is right, time for BiH to withdraw from International Criminal Court

The United States is completely right in arguing that no international institution, including the International Criminal Court, can stand above the sovereignty of states and that international justice must not be used as an instrument of political pressure, Milorad Dodik said.

“Republika Srpska has been warning about this for years and knows very well what it looks like when the law is applied selectively and political interests are presented as impartial international justice. That is why it is time for BiH to decide to withdraw from the International Criminal Court and the Rome Statute, something Republika Srpska has been insisting on,” Dodik wrote in a post on X.

Dodik said it would be interesting to see whether political Sarajevo would support what he described as the position of the U.S. administration.

“If the United States has the right to protect its sovereignty from an institution it believes has exceeded its mandate, then it is entirely legitimate for BiH to withdraw from that institution as well. Republika Srpska insists that such a decision be made at the BiH level. No justice is better than injustice,” Dodik said.
