AU faults ICC’s inclusion of recanted evidence in William Ruto, Joshua Sang case

ICC Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda

Nairobi: The African Union (AU) has faulted the use of recanted evidence in the case against Deputy President William Ruto and radio journalist Joshua arap Sang who are facing criminal charges at the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The Union’s member States Justice Ministers and Attorneys General took issue with the court’s decision to allow Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda to use recanted evidence in the Kenyan cases, cautioning that it runs contrary to the agreement reached during talks on Rule 68 at the 12th Assembly of States Parties (ASP) in 2013.
