This includes the World Trade Organisation Nairobi Declaration that seeks to reduce agricultural subsidies to benefit developing countries, the political crisis in Burundi, Africa’s push towards the Amendment of the Rome Statute through the Assembly of State parties regarding two prominent Kenyans accused of crimes against humanity in the 2007/08 post-election violence, the failed request to South Africa by ICC to arrest Sudanese president Omar Al-Bashir and the ensuing politics.
