## Prediction

Within seven days, a coalition of EU states and select Latin American governments (e.g., Colombia, Chile, Brazil) is likely to issue coordinated statements or resolutions condemning Venezuela’s ICC exit and calling for alternative accountability mechanisms. This will increase Caracas’s diplomatic isolation in multilateral forums, complicate its efforts to secure supportive votes in the OAS, UN, and regional development banks. The move also arms Venezuelan opposition actors with new leverage, but may harden the regime’s siege mentality and reduce incentives for negotiated political opening. Confirmation would be joint communiqués or resolutions referencing the Rome Statute withdrawal; significant silence from key regional players or open support from major non-Western powers would blunt this pressure.

## Drivers

- Venezuela’s announced 'irrevocable' ICC withdrawal
- Existing Latin American concern over Venezuelan human rights and migration spillover
- EU focus on rule-of-law conditionality in foreign relations
