Harsh verdict delivered against ICC

Civil society organisations have blamed the International Criminal Court  (ICC) for succumbing to political pressure and recommend that it should be restructured. The African Centre for Open Governance (Africog) and Kenyans for Peace with Truth and Justice (KPTJ) said in their report that it was mistake to allow President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto to run for office when they facing criminal charges at the ICC.

The report was published to coincide with the ongoing ICC Assembly of State Parties (ASP) at The Hague. The report, Impunity restored? Lessons learned from the failure of the Kenyan cases at the ICC, took stock of cases involving Kenyans in the ICC.
