The government has reacted to the order by the High Court in Pretoria compelling it to revoke its notice of withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC). In a statement on Wednesday, the Department of Justice said it will "reflect" on the judgment before deciding on whether to appeal it. Earlier, the court found that the decision to withdraw from the Rome Statute was invalid and unconstitutional. "Government has noted the judgment delivered by the court today on the notice to withdraw from the Rome Statute of the ICC wherein the court declared such notice invalid and unconstitutional," spokesperson Mthunzi Mhaga said.
