N'Djamena: Chad announced on Monday it planned to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, saying its effectiveness was "limited" and uneven.

"This decision is the result of an in-depth review of the functioning of the International Criminal Court since it began operating in 2002, as well as its record whose effectiveness remains limited and uneven across different regions," a government spokesman said in a statement.
