President Uhuru Kenyatta Sunday led African leaders in passing a resolution that could result in African countries withdrawing from the Rome Statute that established the International Criminal Court (ICC).

In the latest assault on the court, and just weeks after the no-case-to-answer motion submissions by Deputy President William Ruto and his co-accused Joshua arap Sang, the African Union (AU) during a meeting held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, adopted a decision to develop a strategy for the mass withdrawal of African countries from the global institution.
